    I imagine the decision was made last week. Regardless of the result in the derby.
    I would say this, they have a two week window with the international football on so even a win today he was gone.

    To be honest, I'd take direct football. As long as the new manager gets rid of the comedy defending.

    Hoof ball? He plays nothing like that.
    Fast, attacking, pressing, intense football. His tactical approach has been considered innovative and been adopted to some extent by other teams.

    Liverpool fans didn't mind direct football when it nearly won them the league 2 season ago.

    I know you're (probably) joking as Rodgers would never consider us anyway given the state we're in, but I'd honestly rather Sam Allardyce.

    That I was:) Rodgers has a very high opinion of himself, and I'm sure Sunderland know that Big Sam would be a better option for them.

    I never said they weren't, it was direct football though, not possession based passing.

    Did you even watch Dortmund during the Klopp era? Counter attacking football is Klopp's mantra, not 'hoof it' football. That's how they managed to beat most teams because they were rapid in converting defence to attack, similar to Liverpool in 13/14 except they were much sounder at the back.

    Despite this, I couldn't care less how we play as long as we win. Unlike Rodgers, Klopp has a knack of taking down bigger sides and has a good record in Europe. He has more energy that Brendan, doesn't talk as much nonsense and he's had a good record in the transfer market.

    Your links and Liverpool jokes are rarely, if ever, funny. Just thought I'd point that out to you.

    from what i remember of klopp it was sort of like pep guardiolas barca, wherein the attackers work as defenders to counter attack far up the pitch. thus by winning possession in the oppositions half you catch them off guard as they are about to build an attack and make an attack.

    that was it when dortmund were winning. what happened last season is they lacked that extra 10% work rate and it all fell apart

    Dortmund played a lot of hoofball last season when Aubameyang replaced Immobile as the striker.

    Immobile was a bust though. They had to do something. It's definitely not Klopp's natural style.

    Not being smart but surely Klopp could walk into a job with better prospects. Liverpool are miles away from being contenders.


    This.

    I think Liverpool fans are in cloud cuckoo land. Are the owners at Liverpool going to change their policy completely just to get Klopp in? Won't they have to dispense with their transfer committee to get him?

    They could end up with Frank De Boer, they'll be wishing they didn't sack Rodgers after a year or two with him.

    How are we in 'cloud cuckoo land'?

    FSG can be quite stubborn but I genuinely think they will change their system, not just the manager, and will try hard to get a manager of Klopp's level.

    Which job?? Wait around for Chelsea to sack Jose?? I don't think Klopp is the kind of guy to take that job. At least not from what he's said before.

    Rival fans might not think it but Liverpool are still a big club, if this appointment (whoever it is) doesn't work out then we might end up not being.
