I think its funny how provincial the Germans are being with the (potential) appointment. Almost everyone with a cap has had their say!

Reckon it's nearly the other way around - every German is getting asked the question.

Like Gundongen's comments...it came across to me that it wasn't really something he was interested in talking about. Basically saying he hadn't talked to Klopp for a while, but yeah, he's a great manager so would be a good fit for loads of clubs, and yeah, liverpool would be one of them.

Which turned into; Gundongen - "Klopp a perfect fit for the Kop" or some such headline.

Sounds like Sturridges next injury

Reminds me of the line in Only Fools & Horses when Del Boy, talking about his father says "One time when I was still at school and I was doing my homework. I asked him what a cubic foot was. He said he didn't know but he tried to have a week off work with it".

Doesn't matter if it's really him or not. That's our manager in that Vine and he is a lunatic

Did he agree a contract?

Lads genuinely excited for the first time since:

1. We beat City at Anfield two seasons ago
2. We signed Torres
3. We signed Steve Finnan (and I mean that)

Bring out the Pandas!

Steve Finnan was fantastic at the time.

:rolleyes: Looks like we gots a funny guy on our hands

By the way he set up at Dortmund I would expect our team to line up like this (IF he uses the same tactics)

When we are defending/dont have the ball)

Migs
Clyne---Skrtel---Sakho---Moreno

Lucas----Milner
Hendo

Coutinho

Sturridge

Benteke

(when we are attacking)

Migs

Skrtel

Sakho
Clyne---Lucas---Milner---Moreno

Hendo

Coutinho

Benteke----Sturridge

Klopp famously said (paraphrasing) - Arsenal are like an Orchestra and Dortmund are more like heavy metal.

Arsenal like to pass pass pass. But Klopp likes his team to win the ball as fast as possible and get the ball forward as pick as possible for a shot on goal.

He likes his teams to play a very high line so there is less distance for his team to travel to get a shot on goal.

He plays with wide players but these players usually come inside when attacking and his full backs (wing backs) provide width on the outside. He likes his full backs to score goals aswell by the way.

He likes his team to be high energy and to press from the forward line. This means when we lose the ball that Sturridge and Bene will be expected to try to win the ball back as quick as possible.

His teams usually play with one striker and a support forward who tries to get into vacated space left by defenders "taken out of position" by the striker.

His center mids he likes at least one out and out defensive mid but has no issue playing two out and out defensive mids if needed as he likes his teams to win the ball before it becomes the defenders job. But when one of his center mids isnt defensive he wants them to be high energy and able to run ALOT.

His teams are usually young and high energy with pace in the wing back spots and passing ability out wide. His strikers are usually a mix of power and pace.

Our team has loads of weak points lets no kid ourselves but our team does have players who can play the roles he likes. Are our players good enough long term?? probably not. But at least they will get a chance to prove it one way or another and Klopp will see who needs the most urgent replacing in January

BBC saying the club hope to finish negotiations within 48 hours!

But all those people in the rodgers sacked thread said this wasn't true.

Barely There · 07-10-2015 09:42AM

So if this morning's press reports are to be believed the deal is all tied up and the announcement will be made before the week is out.

I'm very excited at the prospect of Klopp taking over. I thought the timing of the Rodgers' sacking was strange, but I presume that background talks had already established that Klopp was available and willing to come.

Never thought Ancelotti would have been a good fit for the club.

I feel sorry for Rodgers in some ways. The 13/14 season was the best time to be a Liverpool fan for the last 2 decades (04/05 was pretty awful football tbh), some of the football was genuinely breath-taking and he deserves a lot of credit for this. I think he was undone (as so many managers are) by the quality of the signings, whether his or the transfer committees is immaterial, the whole set up just sounds very dysfunctional.
His team sections and substitutions were at times baffling, but there is also, I feel, a very good coach in there.

His statement after being sacked was classy and I hope he goes on to have a very successful post-Liverpool career - in fact I think he will.

As for Klopp, I think he is just what the Club needs right now. We have some very good players and the rest of the League (other than perhaps City) look very vulnerable. Top 4 is there for the taking - is it too much to ask in his first season, coming to the Club in October?

Probably, but I'm asking anyway.

Why did you hate it? Don't you think it's great to see smaller clubs take on the big dogs in Europe? Do you hate Atletico's recent success too?
