Hi Ed 001

Dissapointed as anyone yesterday, however I am a realist, Klopp stated when he came in that he has to have time to analise the players to see if they will fit the future system? Obviously we have players who will fall by the wayside and move on and the past few loses has probably reafirmed the managers thoughts on where he needs to change and strengthen. We cannot expect to go out in a January window and buy five players and totally change the team. I hope we don't as we have paid a high price for doing just that in the past.
Klopp has inheritted a team of individuals who were bought with no thought of how they would gel together and play as a team? Rodgers was totally focused on offensive part of the game hence spending well over the odds for offensive players such as Lallana, Firminho, Markovic, Benteke, for Milner, Moreno, Clyne, Milner. Do we now expect the manager to change these players in a matter of weeks? I don't think so.

What i have seen in Klopp in the past few months is a manager with a long term plan, a manager who talks passionately, who will work tirelessly and more importantly a manager who has a long term plan for the way we will play, and is not afraid of change.
I for one am prepared to give him time, at the moment he is being let down by the same individuals in the majority of games, i am sure he feels the same but he has to be given time to remove or change these players and get in the players he knows will fit the system much more effectively.

Paitence is a virtue, let's trust Klopp and give him time.

Evered.

Agree 100% Evered. Patience and time is what is what is needed. I think Klopp knows that this squad is not good enough and will eventually move some of them on and hopefully bring in players better suited to his thinking and game plan. We will have frustrating games against teams so let's just stay patience and keep support the team and a manager who is passionate about the club and gets behind his team and isn't afraid to call it as he see's it.
YNWA.

Spot on, boys. In addition, Klopp is never the one to feel sorry for himself and always believes in a better tmrw hence, he goes into games trying his hardest to win every game regardless of the way he's been hamstrung by BR's dithering so. Stoke is up next and we will need to show some fight first off before trying to go for the win because teams may now know that we can be bullied and if that reputation continues to grow then we will struggle. Keep the faith, lads!

Whilst I agree with the above comments, remember Klopp has only a 3 year contract. He will need at least 2 transfer windows to bring in his own players and this doesn't leave a lot of time, unless he agrees to a contract extension. We have big problems right now with the squad, and the continuous poor performances, even when we win. To get any team from mid table into the top 4 is a massive task, and I'm afraid there are several other teams who are looking much more capable of doing this than we are currently.

Since we signed klopp, I have said again and again that this season is a fact finder about what we have got, but if we can pick up a cup along the way then bonus, but if we got top 4 spot, would it be like the other year and be embarrassing, personally I would prefer a solid end to this season without champions league qualification, but really push on next season then qualify for champions league and be better prepared, with new stadium, extra TV cash taking us to the next level,
