The constant sniping at klopp has got to stop. The man has come out and told us he is tired probably being polite. Pressure and stress. DVLA say don't drive when your tired the BMA say don't operate heavy machinery yet here's a man running one of the top 5/ 6 clubs in the world facing setback after setback with the weight of expectations of the millions of fans on his shoulders too . We all make mistakes when we're tired just we don't have 50 news outlets 100 pundits and couple of million fans judging you. He turned the club around and now some of the fans are turning on him. Sad, we call ourselves the best fans in the world " this means more" let's show it then. If we finish 3rd it won't be for the lack of trying. He could have walked out mid season but he showed loyalty and stayed on, let you lot who are having a dig show him some loyalty. He is not the first Liverpool manger to struggle with stress and pressure, shanks, king kenny, smoking joe even Rafa had a touch . I'm glad social media wasn't around in them days. YNWA eh? Unless you slip up, make mistakes then your not one of us.

Klopps made a lot of mistakes since linders became his assistant and our build up play is non existent then 70 minutes in you can hear him screaming 442 yet we still have no build up play.
He's had a poor end to his career unfortunately and it's the right time to leave but I'm not sure how people can say they hate him, he took us to the next level and is number 3 on the all time list.

If klopp isn't up to it then he should have left back in Jan. It's what Kenny did when he didn't feel he could handle it.
We all love klopp but the season has been a disaster BECAUSE of how he feels. Could have put someone in charge for the interim and it would have benefited everyone and nobody would have been angry.

26 Apr 2024 20:55:49
Because we have not won the league means the fan boys arenāt happy, probably new generation keyboard warriors. No manager wins everything but with Klopp we are very much back as being the most successful team in England. Klopp has done so much for us and regardless of how the season ends, he will get the send off he deserves and will forever be a legend at LFC.

26 Apr 2024 20:54:02
I know what you mean, Ed025 but I watch the games on TV with my lad now so any strong words have to been done under my breath. He's ok with the milder ones. For the Palace and Everton games he has disappeared to play on some device or other and can just switch off from the game.
I wish I could.

At the start of the season no one gave us a glimmer of winning the league, with the midfield rebuild etc. And now everyone is crying that we've dropped to third with a handful of games left to play. 99% of us would of been more than happy with a 3rd place finish this season.

Klopp has taken us back to the top. Anyone hating on him now should refresh their memory of what went before him and moreover, what heās been up against, a club owned by an extremely wealthy nation state with allegations of cheating hanging over them. And heās still competed. No one before him had that to play against, in those circumstances heās done exceptionally well. Any other time in the premier league era, heād have won three or four titles.

26 Apr 2024 22:09:37
Spot on, Scouse John. The modern day fans are just in it for the vibes and the clicks provided their team win and they can go on SM to give it the big ones. Nobody is interested in actually supporting their teams thru thick and thin, the good times and the bad times. it's all about "We are LFC and should be winning trophies". These same turncoats prolly wanted Klopp sacked after last season and didn't even think we would be where we are challeging for the title, winning a Cup the way we did eitc. Now, they are here mouthing off as if someone owes them something. Absolute rubbish.
Klopp could have gone anywhere he wanted as he was the hottest manager at the time and YET he came to us at our worst. We were NOT a club that top managers went to. He came to us and exceeded many of our expectations. He won the freaking LOT, something nobody thought he could, not even me. Klopp gave me my dignity back as an LFC fan. he gave me some of the best times of my LFC supporting life. Could he have won mre? You can say that for every manager BUT the most important thing is that he won when we needed him to win and when his moment came, he WON those moments.
Thanks for ALL you did for me and the rest of my LFC borthers and sisters, Jurgen. We will NEVER forget you. But MOST importantly, find a new purpose in your life. You deserve it. YNWA!

26 Apr 2024 22:20:11
Nevada, Klopp hasn't said he can't handle it and this season has not been a disaster. Far from it.
He has said he is tired but that doesn't mean he can't handle it. He needs a rest in the summer, that's it. You can't compare what he has said to Dalglish resigning. Dalglish had to deal with Hillsborough and the aftermath. He attended the funerals of those we lost. What effect do you think that had on him?
You're way off the mark comparing what Klopp has said and what Dalglish went through.
1
26 Apr 2024 22:35:50
Itās not a brilliant post. Itās all one sided. If he had been the Man U manager and then ended the season like this the same posters would have had a field day.
As a team and as a manager we were favourites for the league with 7 games to go. We even had a 2 week international break to get the players back on track. Something has gone very very wrong. Klopp gets the praise when it goas well but equally deserves criticism when it goes wrong. His team selection and subs v Everton will never ever make sense. He has been great for Liverpool but now itās equally as important that he leaves.

Putting an interim manager in could easily have led to the season completely falling apart and ending up outside the top four. And besides there was literally no one remotely suitable available.

For what it's worth klopp will go down a legend but with an axtric as in could have been better.
I'll always be greatfull for what he's done but I do wish he left a few seasons ago.

26 Apr 2024 23:23:03
I think a lot of people's arrogance thinking we somehow deserve to win everything comes from the amazing years Jurgen has given us. Don't bite the hand that feeds comes to mind. The same portion of the fanbase that will be on the new gaffers back if he doesn't start his tenure blowing everyone else out the water.
1
26 Apr 2024 23:42:33
I think it's an achievement to be favourites for the League with 7 games to go after finishing fifth last season, starting this one with a new midfield and taking into account the seasons both City and Arsenal have had.
I've changed my mind, I think it is an overachievement.

Great post John, I've been getting fed up of some of the negative stuff on SM, it's not like Jurgen has caused this mini slump intentionally! Let's roar him and the team on for these last few matches and remember our great years we've had under this legend of a manager.

26 Apr 2024 11:42:01
Iāve seen a lot of people blaming Trent for the second goal the other night. While I do agree he should have done better, why on earth is he left with Calvert Lewin who is going to beat him in the air every single time. This is why i despise zonal marking! Just gives the attacking team all the advantage of targeting the weaker opposition players!
6
26 Apr 2024 11:55:38
Personally, Im over the game now. it's gone. On to WH and hopefully we can finish strong and win all our games. We may finish 2nd with a few point behind City, who know?
5
26 Apr 2024 12:01:13
Look I would normally try to defend Trent, probably more than he can himself in fairness butI mean even if DCL steamrolls him - he should at least try and make an effort. He to all intents and purposes opened the door for him.
The footage from behind the goal is nothing other than criminal defending.
He sees the cross, sees DCL coming, moves BEHIND DCL and then barely touches him.
Sometimes you have to call a spade and spade and zonal marking be damned that was awful defending.
14
26 Apr 2024 12:53:05
That's why we miss Henderson and milner sometimes. Trent cowered out of the challenge just like Curtis Jones always does. Pathetic, thought Scousers were tough? Not them pair.
7
26 Apr 2024 13:57:07
The lack of effort shown by Trent at the back post the other night and In most defensive situations is an absolute disgrace. Shirking out of a challenge in the derby when youāre going for the league, criminal! Your captain and vice captain are meant to lead by example on and off the ball. Iāve said it countless times, Trent is a fantastic footballer, oozes ability on the ball that most pros can only dream of but defensively I canāt remember a weaker right back in red.
If he wasnāt a scouser and hadnāt come through the academy Iād sell him to the highest bidder. The main reason being what Iāve said above, defensively heās absolutely awful. More over the argument to have him play in midfield only works if you give him a free role and that doesnāt exist in modern day football. He doesnāt have the engine, bite, press, physicality or hunger to defend in midfield.
Iām typing this after having the time to reflect. The loss to Everton, the defensive frailty shown all season, the consistency of missed chances game after game, choosing players out of form and lastly the having no plan b from Klopp and the coaching staff is the reason Iām looking forward to a change. Klopp is a legend and Iāll be eternally grateful for the memories but fresh eyes are needed.
8
26 Apr 2024 13:58:09
This post isnāt me defending Trent either, he should do a lot better and put up more of a challenge. I was highlighting how ridiculous zonal marking is! If we man-marked at corners instead, Van Dijk or Konate are picking up Calvert Lewin and that goal doesnāt happen. Can anyone tell me the benefits of zonal marking? The cons definitely outweigh the pros for me!
4
26 Apr 2024 14:15:17
VVD and Konate both got bullied as well. Then it really highlighted the massive deficiencies of some other players when it comes to defending.
I hope Klopp changes at least half the team for tomorrowās game. I wouldnāt give Jones or Sob a seat on the plane never mind the bench.
2
26 Apr 2024 15:33:16
Problem with trent is he's truly woeful defensively but a brilliant passer. He's positive with the ball, he'll play the ball fans want played. That's a great asset but he's not imo ever going to succeed as a defensive midfielder. Trent has a lot of flaws as an overall player. He's not athletic like a Bellingham or past Gerrard. He's weak physically in the air, in challenges and doesn't have the legs to be a box to box midfielder.
Trent has to continue being an attacking full back and work qnd work on his defensive side. It's as simple as that.
4
26 Apr 2024 16:01:36
Ecogsi
I posted similar earlier in the season and got prayers
āHeās world classā - āperfect for midfieldā
Fact is he doesnāt tackle, doesnāt provide the energy that he used to, and switches off defensively
None of those can happen with a midfield player or we would get rinsed through the middle
We could get a very good fee, play Bradley, and strengthen other areas.
4
26 Apr 2024 16:39:39
There will be a system to get the best out of Trent. I wouldnāt mind seeing Bradly and Trent playing together down the right. Trent doesnāt have to charge around his delivery is world class from anywhere.
1
26 Apr 2024 19:22:43
I don't think people realise the modern game isn't all sliding tackles in one on ones.
Defending in midfield is done via interceptions and blocking passing lanes - both metrics which trent scores high every season. It's aerial duels and tackles. Despite everyone thinking mac was no good at DM he was actually far more effective than endo.
Sometimes I think everyone is trapped in the past. Busquets is considered by many to be one of the best DM in modern game and he was no midfield destroyer.
The modern game uses pressing into forced errors as a defence in midfield.
Also slot doesn't use a DM he uses two pivots whose sole job is to recycle the ball and keep possession. He inverts the fullbacks for defensive duties in mid.
3
26 Apr 2024 20:50:49
Bored of saying the same thing. When I say Trent is a liability at RB it is not because of his positioning, his tracking, his tackling or pave or effort. It's because he cannot defend the back post at set pieces or when crosses come in. Time and time again it happens. It's at the point where I am not blaming him because a blind man could see he shouldn't be there.
1
26 Apr 2024 21:00:31
That's a good point about interceptions, Nevada. I remember Sammy Lee saying his better performances were when he never had to make a tackle.
That said, all midfielders should be willing to tackle if they have to. They should all be able to pass the ball forwards. It annoys me to see the number of times I see midfielders not taking the ball on the half turn. And they should all be able to score a few goals.
I suppose I am old fashioned though.
2
26 Apr 2024 23:02:24
Back in July Klopp stated that Trent could play effectively as a 6 but chose to play him in this 3-2-2-3 formation instead as this "hybrid" role? What would be so wrong next season to have him move permanently to that specific 6 role instead of Endo with Bradley who is a much better technically defensive RB? Get Quansah hitting the weights in the summer to add some strength and speed and play him alongside VVD; Bradley RB and source a new LB to compete with an ageing Robbo and there's a more solid back 4 imo .

26 Apr 2024 10:55:39
Hi Ed's
Do you think Salah's drop of form has coincided with Trent playing this awful invert fullback role. I have noticed when Bradley is playing, Salah seems to have more space as the defender is occupied with two player instead of one. Which gives Mo the extra space to do his stuff.
I know Mo has been awful the last few months but I don't think this inverted fullback tactic helps.
Would love to hear your opinion on this.
Thanks.

{Ed001's Note - that hasn't helped, but it is not the issue. It is not an inverted full-back that makes his touch so bad.}

Didnāt Salah have good form at the start of the season when Trent was also playing the inverted full back.
Iām not sure how many of Moās 24 goals and 13 assists have come when we havenāt played Trent there?
1
{Ed001's Note - yes mate he did. The only real difference it makes to Salah is that he plays wider. But early in the season he was creating more chances for others and playing some good stuff.}

26 Apr 2024 11:32:16
Definitely out of form we know he has lost some pace but personally I think he could play the false nine better than Firminho create more chances for others and still able to chip in with goals. What say you ed001
Up the pool.

{Ed001's Note - not convinced he could play there and even less convinced he would do it better than Bobby did. I do think he could play a little deeper but not that role, not the way Bobby did it.}

26 Apr 2024 11:43:36
Ed001 100% agree mate.
I'm not trying to defend the inverted full back system as i am just as frustrated as the next person with how we are playing.
I just don't think our defeats to Everton, Atalanta and Palace our our inability to finish our chances or defend and give away so many early goals is just down to the formation.
The 3 games mentioned above I can't remember the last time i saw this team look so carefree and lackluster whilst being behind.
Seen reports online that Klopp is wielding the axe this weekend with as many as 7 changes so will be expecting some of the youngsters to come in.

{Ed001's Note - none of the players who have come back in have performed, so it would make sense to turn back to the kids who did.}
5
26 Apr 2024 13:03:08
Right, come on, Reds: who are the kids that we should play for the rest of the season and why?
Quansah, ok. Bradley is injured.
Have Danns, Clark, McConnell, Koumas etc done enough this season to start in the PL?
I've only seen glimpses of them in the League Cup, Europa and a few substitute appearances in the PL so I don't know how good they are and what they have achieved so far.
In my defence, the League Cup final was tense so I probably didn't notice them as much as I should have done.

{Ed001's Note - Danns has, McConnell was just starting to bed in and begin to play. The rest were at least trying to play forward, which is better than their replacements have been doing.}

26 Apr 2024 13:23:38
The last 2 afcons that have been held in jan and salah form has fell off a cliff afterwards. 2 years ago 1st half of season he was the best player in world for me and kept us in touch when we playing average enough. Team then had great run and a good rattle at quad but salh form not near what it was for remander of season. Same this time although wouldn't say he as good in 1st half of this season as hd was 2 years ago.

26 Apr 2024 13:29:30
Rigsby if the question was after my comment above mate then it wasnāt me saying we should be playing the youngsters.
It was more Iāve seen online as many as 7 changes. Looking at the bench wed and squad then Iām preempting that some youngsters will be involved.
But with Klopp subs on Wed o wouldnāt be surprised to see the same starting line up as Everton.
0
26 Apr 2024 13:31:27
Ed, crazy to think that we were winning games when we were playing the kids in the starting lineup. But the moment the first teamers got back from injury and inserted into starting eleven, everything started to fall off. It is supposed to go the other way around. I guess the kids just want it more.

Mfahmee which kids were starting mate?

26 Apr 2024 14:00:01
No, it wasn't aimed at you, JK.
Even if we did make seven changes, it doesn't necessarily mean it'll be the kids. By kids, I mean Danns, Clark, McConnell etc anyway.
I just wondered what they had done that I hadn't seen.
At his press conference Klopp mentioned playing more positively and he could be expecting the senior players to do that. Why they wouldn't when behind in important games is strange though.
If the youngsters are ready then put them in but is there evidence that says they are?
1
26 Apr 2024 14:35:13
Rigsby i agree woth you as the youngsters have hardly played many league minutes this season apart from Bradley and Quansah but both have been in the team that failed to beat utd or Atalanta.
I was putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 5 in regards to the 7 changes.
If 4 changes are the subs from Wed night then we should all strap ourselves in for a bumpy ride tomorrow.

JK23, I'm thinking maybe Danns. With how our forward line is firing blank right now, there is no harm in playing him. See what can he do as a starter. In midfield, McConnell maybe and Elliot.
1
26 Apr 2024 16:03:50
Sob is hiding in games. As Klopp says he is not telling the players donāt work hard, donāt press. He is a counter pressing manager, itās just the players arenāt doing as instructed. Not just Sob but he is one of the worst atm. Lack of desire, energy, playing it safe, making wrong decisions. I hope next season he shuts his mouth and puts more effort into becoming a much better all round player.

26 Apr 2024 16:55:14
If we get slot and play szob as a 10 rather than an 8 I think we will see the best of him but attitude needs to change as does a lot of the lads if they want to be the best.
1
26 Apr 2024 20:12:40
Itās not that the kids have ādone enoughā to be starters for a title chasing team. Itās just that they've done enough that I want to see what they can do with an extended run in the team.
The way the first team are playing, weāre not winning many more games so the title is a very long shot.
Even more of a long shot is not finishing in the top 4.
Therefore we have little to lose by playing them in my opinion. Youāll never know what they can do unless you give them a chance.

26 Apr 2024 09:33:22
i have never liked Jurgen Klopp. Could have won the league and Europa if he kept his emotions to himself, but no he wants a spectacle for everything. When your manager says he is tired and his engine is dry and he then asks his players to do more for him, its called hypocrisy.
I don't blame the players, it's all on klopp. His mind is set on a holiday and his players are a reflection of his mindset.
5 games 150+ shots and just one win. Obviously manager has zero motivation to work and change things up and the results are a reflection of that.
The best era for Liverpool since the 80s resulted in just 2 big trophies. Utterly unacceptable. Glad we won the title and the champions league so thank you, Klopp. But we deserved a better ending.

I love Klopp and i am so thankful for the good times he has brought us during his reign.
Just because i love him as our manager it doesn't mean everyone else has too and Akiraold you're more than entitled to your opinion on him.
It is an interesting point you make here though "When your manager says he is tired and his engine is dry and he then asks his players to do more for him"
Whilst i'll blind loyalty disagree that this has happened if it was another manager at another club then maybe from a non biased view I'd say you could have a point.
I think the belief is the players would up the anti to give their manager the send off he deserves but if my work manager told me they were tired and leaving I'd imagine i'd be in cruise control whenever i possibly could get away with it.

I am going to go out on a limb and say, any other manager who walked in when Klopp did would not have delivered us the success he has. We were a mess and people have short memories so where we were, we have been so lucky to have him but also unlucky that City were so dominant at the same time.
Give it 2 years, you might regret that statement!
6
26 Apr 2024 11:27:54
Me too jk, especially knowing a new manager might come in and destroy everything thatās been such a family place to work and good friends youāve made whilst being there. But on the other Iām looking forward to klopp leaving for a new era to start. But heās still and always will be a legend to me.

I couldn't agree more, Piffmunda.
The only other manager that I can think of is Guardiola but could he have done it at Liverpool? Having managed at Barca, Bayern and City it's difficult to say but we know Klopp did it at Liverpool. And Kloppwould have done a lot more were it not for the 'circumstances' at City of which he could do nothing about.
5
26 Apr 2024 12:52:29
To be honest, I think Klopp pre and post 2020 were not the same.
Klopp brought Liverpool out of a really dark place and gave us lots of great memories, but I do think his best Liverpool days were pre-2020.
No idea what Slot will be like. However, I suspect his tenure will somewhat resemble Benitez' - a likeable manager who will achieve and win things with Liverpool, but whose achievements may not be as lofty as Klopp's.

Klopp has been incredible for us most of the time. I do think he was too loyal to ageing players, plus we seem
To have had injury crises. I think itās time for a change he looks tired. A break will do him and us good.
8 trophies is a great haul. Best in 30 odd years, it would have been more if we werenāt against state sponsored clubs with one fabulous manager.

Ok, this is just my theory on the, I really believed Amorim is really the first choice of who FSG wanted as our next manager (after Alonso). Both parties surely had talks ongoing and probably had a disagreement on certain things.
Then what happened, the Amorim team decided to play games by approaching West Ham, and leak it to the media maybe to put pressure on FSG?
And what happened next, FSG definitely not happy with it, decided they won't bother wasting time with the Amorim team.

Possible, but i think itās equally likely that they felt they were incompatible with his formation and amount of control he would demand over transfers. Slot plays in a way that already suits the squad of players we have and would require far less change. Furthermore, a coach who is happy to collaborate with analysts once more is important, it was one of the underpinnings of our success compared to the clubs below us in the league. Move us back towards the transfer policy of the 2010ās and away from the manager and his coaches signing players they seem to just fancy, like Thiago and Nunez.

Amorim is not the guy. Slot more than likely is and really wants to come to us. Nothing else to see here. We move.

Isn't our whole club, from youth to senior, asked to play in the same way? We've got in younger players to play Klopps football and they do, and seem pretty good at it. To change system throughout would be a massive overhaul.
I know nothing of Slot until 002 mentioned him, but I'm quite looking forward to it.
A change is as good as a rest, so they say.

Hi eds,
Just a quick question regarding Slot: it seems he plays a 4-2-3-1, and so I was wondering how he may use some of our players?
For example, would you predict he uses Szob and Harvey behind the striker?
How does he use his widemen: wide as a traditional winger or more like midfielers besides the 10? I ask because I wonder about Salah and Diaz: if replaced, is it like-for-like, or more like creative midfielders beside the 10?
Cheers.

OP - have looked at some Feyenoord games on YouTube over the past couple of days
They were highlights only though
Iād say the system is very fluid -at times the 3 behind are very wide and at other times they are a bit narrower
I donāt think I saw any of the 3 though crossing from wide (that tended to be the FB) so Iām guessing they will be tucked in a bit more centrally
That requires technically gifted players so I wouldnāt be surprised if itās Gakpo one side and Szob the other.
