Hi Eds,

Thanks a lot as this is the only place where I come looking for Liverpool related transfer news.

I have a few questions which I would like you to answer:

1) We are in the right direction under Klopp! ☺ I wish he was appointed after the end of 2014-15 season which could have given him a transfer window to sign the players he wanted. Was it because the board wanted to give Rodgers another chance to see if he could turn it around or simply because the preferred replacements weren't available?

2) How much exactly have we paid for Keita? Only the Express say it's 64m pounds and the others just say an extra 'premium'.

3) Could you please do a player profile on VVD, Lemar, Keita and Salah? Maybe I am wrong but based on what I have seen so far, sometimes I feel Salah is a bit selfish going for goal when a pass could be the better option! 🙂 What do you think?

Cheers.

{Ed002's Note - (1) It is unimportant now. Klopp has noit done significantly better in terms of results. (2) I won't know until the TMS is completed when the transfer goes ahead. (3) Ask Ed001.}

Statistically maybe by win percentage but the reds play some of the best soccer around. Once the necessary players are secured the results will happen and the silverware will be won. It is my humble opinion that Kloop is the best manager in football that is active. I really have complete confidence in his ability. If he is given the weapons the results will happen.

{Ed001's Note - it also must be remembered that Klopp took over a club destroyed by Rodgers, with a team that was shattered and had no confidence at all in themselves. Rodgers took over a team that was still high in confidence and feeling they were going place. That is a major difference that is always forgotten. Win percentages are meaningless bollox, just another pointless stat without context.}

I think it a skewed analysis if you compare Rodgers' 3 years and a bit at the club to Klopp's almost 2 years at the club, particularly if results are being compared.

Completely agree with Ed001. Win percentage is one of the most meaningless stats out there when not compared with context. We didn't win a bean under Rodgers, and won hardly any big matches, either. Conversely, Klopp outwits other top managers and teams at the drop of a hat, there is no question he's leagues and leagues ahead of Rodgers.

You are off your trolley mate if you don't think Klopp is better than BR.

You seem a bright person so am puzzled at why you keep having a go at every opportunity with Klopp.

Please explain

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - I didn't say that - why don't you find someone to read the post to you.}
