I don't understand the lack of desire to change games or to even attack it's massively frustrating 😞

yeah I don't get it either really I wouldn't even mind if we played hoofball and just get everyone around the big lads but we try and play nice football without any of the cutting edge of a Bournemouth, just feels really ineffective.

I still think he's probably the best man for the job atm but it's not been an easy watch all season.

imo the league should play 19 games and then have a short transfer window and then play the other 19 games, and you should only be allowed to change managers during the transfer window also, so that teams don't get a particular advantage or disadvantage by having to play a team before or after they sack a garbageman

This is the dumbest thing I've ever read on these forums.

every team should have a squad of managers and they get subbed in and out depending on who the team is playing next.

Yeah but only three manager subs allowed during a game, even if it goes into extra time

what's the most credible source saying he donated the money?

If you're not striving to improve, you'll end up going backwards.
So Klopps job is relatively safe for now. At least until next year...however if he doesnt get either:

a) A decent CB
b) A competent CM
c) A decent lone striker


Any of the combinations of 2 of the above by the end of next season i might see why people would say he could start to worry, bearing in mind hes only been in charge for just over a year now and has been dealing with mostly Rodgers' wastemen it would be loving crazy to get rid of him now.

If he is having trouble dealing with Rodger's wastemen why did rodgers do better with his wastemen?

I don't know how we've managed to go through so many managers and so many defenders and the defence never improves. No manager we've had since Benitez has managed to actually get Liverpool to defend well for longer than a few games in a row. I think maybe under Dalglish there was like a half-season or so when we were consistently good defensively, so we promptly fired our defensive coach and went back to being poo poo. I don't remember the exact details though.

The last time i remember our defense being good was when we had Agger, Aurelio, Skrtl and <Insert RB here> in our defense.


Since then its just been utter garbage

Not surprising tbh...Moyes did not do as badly as everyone seems to think. Plus Klopp has played more matches with (arguably) a weaker team
