Ed002, Can you explain to me the difference between Pochettino and Klopp philosophy. The reason why I ask is because you have been critical of Klopp style of play. Yet Tottenham have been successful implementing a pressing game. I was curious what makes one style better than the other.

{Ed002's Note - Yes, of course. One has learned that at the upper end of the game you need to adapt and change your stype depending on the circumstances. The other has yet to learn that valuable lesson.}

I would say Poch is a better manager because of learning with Southampton and rectifying any mistakes he made during training, tactics etc that is why tottenham are doing so well and he has had a extra year in the premier league hopefully Klopp can learn like ed said.

Kloop is not a super hero he's talking over a average team with some good players. He will need to sign a couple of players .

Sorry ed just to expand on this a little. I have watched the majority of our games and since end of nov time there has been a definite switch away from pressing tactics. We are now dropping off a lot more when other teams have possession. I would love if someone were able to give a detailed tactical analysis of us at the moment.

{Ed002's Note - Klopp let Gerrard in to the training sessions causing the players to get hyperactive waiting to get him to sign autographs and of course, as we all knew, results plummeted. That of course was not Klipperty's stupidity but the fault of Rodgers. Again as we all know. Now we are riding the "didn't have a pre-seaon to get them fit" excuse for the unacceptable performances - and "the players get too tired playing more than a game a week so they have to stay in bed and recover rather than train". In general terms the Liverpool fans find the results acceptable and justifiable because they cannot see that everyone is falling short. There is a certain futility in trying to explain what a chameleon looks like to a blind person.}

Players make a difference also . And a reliable goalkeeper helps . Let's get coutinhio and a couple of strikers back playin, specially Sturridge, and see if we can finish the season with a bit of run . Win a cup, or 3! And get a bit of confidence to go into next season with . With a few new faces hopefully .

{Ed002's Note - You have an incredibly naive view, but heck, you are a Liverpool fan.}

Better manager 😂
No disrespect to Poch but he's probably got 1 Manager of the month award whereas Klopp has major honours mate.
He's not the better manager, Klopps only been at the club half a season, give him time and he'll add more major trophies to his list, no doubt about it.

{Ed002's Note - Of course, I forgot. A few years ago Klipperty did win a few things. And don't forget his side are nailing Spurs right now. Sadly, I have to say that what Liverpool did 40 years ago may get the fans damp but it is not a guide to what is happening now. Klipperty pre-bugger, fand heraus, did well for two or three years.}

ed, you almost sound like a liverpool fan. converting from the darkside?

{Ed002's Note - I am not a particular supporter of any one club - I have a preference for Chelsea but am not worried if Liverpool or Stoke are doing well.}

Naive in what way?

{Ed002's Note - You are deflecting and looking for excuses - try looking at it objectively - maybe pretend you are critiquing it but not as a supporter.}

Okay Ed002, but you cannot seriously tell me Poch is a better manager than Klopp.

Trophies are everything in football for a manager. They're the be-all and end-all so tell me what major (or any) trophies Poch has won.

Klopp, even if you quite rightly pointed out a few years back, has won multiple major trophies.

{Ed002's Note - I disn't say he was - I answered the question. You need to get over this comparison syndome.}

A preference for Chelsea. Jesus Christ quite possibly the most disliked horrible club of all time.

{Ed002's Note - Sure, whateer you want.}

Ed002, just out of curiousity, what would you like us to say?

Yes I suppose we are making excuses for Klopp, but what would you rather have us do? Call for his head already?!

We're trying to look on the bright side of things and yes, make excuses to make us feel better. We're football fans for god sake.

Try not to get too upset with us venting, I'm afraid it'll never stop (ask Ed001) and I'm positive we're not the only ones like it.

Whilst I agree letting Gerrard train wasn't the best idea. However it's not earth shattering as you're making it out to be. It's not unheard of players of US clubs training with Prem teams over the Xmas period.

I realise that a few members represent the labotomised shitlark community, however, there's no need for the rude manner sometimes. It'll only wind everyone up.

On a lighter note, thank you to you and all other Ed's for keeping us updated through yet another transfer window, you guys do a fantastic job.

{Ed002's Note - I would like a rationale arument against what I say rather than deflection or blaming someone else. We appreciate you thanking the Eds but the reality is the others do nothing at all. It is me uou need to thank.}

Poch is a very good manager but when Klopp was dominating Germany and was terrorizing the whole of Europe including the most expensive side in Europe biting the dust under with a BVB side under his tutelage, Poch was learning his trade, getting the sack at Espanyol and still doesn't have a sausage to his name. The day he's won things like Klopp has, then we can discuss. Until then, compare what is comparable instead of using false equivalences to support snide digs at your own manager.
