Hi Ed's

Sad to see Brendan go but it was the correct decision.

For all his negatives:

1. Irritating Press Conference
2. Changing Tactics frequently that even players failed to understand
3. Playing players out of position

He was always dignified and never showed lack of class.

We have all seen Carlo Ancelotti and know how he works and the respect he commands and believe he can bring good top players to Anfield.

Can you eloborate on how Jurgen Klopp approaches a game in terms of tactics and general play.

Many of use here seem to be die hard fans of Klopp but hope he doesn't bring Diego Simone / Atletico Madrid style of play - attitude to the players.

That will be very difficult to digetst.

Hopeful for good time ahead at LFC.

Thanks

{Ed001's Note - how was Brendan dignified? Never showed a lack of class? Did you not hear his rant about conspiracies? The guy was an embarrassment and good riddance. Class would have been accepting he was useless and clueless and walking away.

Klopp likes to play on the counter, pressing to win the ball back quickly and hitting on the break. It is closer to Rafa than Simeone. Or at least it was with Dortmund.`}

like the class he showed when he threw his backroom staff under the bus to cover up his failings as a manager in order to save his own skin? yeah real classy!

Thank god for ed001. The way people are eulogising Rodgers is complete bull. Up to his sacking people on here have been damning every aspect of the man not just his management but his personal life. So for people to turn face and start saying how decent he is and that they're sorry it didn't work out is just hypocritical and bull. The man was a clown,i won't miss him and his negatives far outweigh any positives. Wish him well by all means but the false postmortems have to stop.

fair enough Ed01 but sometimes you sound like you really hate the guy and unlike you perhaps i do not doubt he tried his best for the club and we did have one very good year with him.
I agree he wasn't good enough and lacked some class in his interviews but i think this was more to do with him outsmarting himself and in this niavity let himself and others down.
Personally i do not like all this hate from people directed at him. Its never been the liverpool way, if that still exists?

{Ed001's Note - I don't hate him, I hate the way he has dragged the club down, but I don't hate him. I do hate this petty political correctness that terms criticism as hate. The guy was a buffoon who constantly embarrassed the club, it is not hate to say so, it is merely an honest assessment of his time.}

Ed, you said Klopp prefers counter-attacking football. If you look at EPL record of the past two decades, I can't recall a counter-attacking team other than Chelsea, which has managed to win the league. It has been mainly dominated by Man U, Arsenal and Man City teams which preferred a more attacking style of play. Secondly, we seriously lack in pace to execute counter-attacks most of the time. So my question is that do you think it would makes sense for LFC to go with a manager whose preferred style is counter-attack when it may not suit the league and the players to begin with?

{Ed001's Note - he is the best available manager, so it makes sense to go for him.}
