Klopp's 13pts clear thanks to video ref

Current form:
Team is doing great!

... Should we sack the manager?




Man, what a incredibly toxic, short-term, kneejerk view of developing a club.

The team wasn't doing well at the time hth

He seems dead set on acquiring VVD in the January window so let's see if he can pull that off. If VVD remains unavailable, can he adjust and find more help.

Klopp owns.

I don't think that VVD is the solution to our problems, but it would be a start. Not buying anyone in the summer was a poor decision imo.

I can't believe I'm doing this, but EvilHawk has been watching Liverpool suffer from very similar problems under multiple managers so I can see why his patience is running thin.

I think he expects a bit more transfer action than is realistic given how FSG want to spend and who they have in charge of finding new people, but it's not like he's Roman Abramovich.

Exactly this. The money was available to Klopp and he chose not to spend it. Any failures as a result are on him.

But, again, the team is playing well right now, and are on their way to reaching the goals I had at the start of the season, so that's cool and good.

Gosh I just think Liverpool should spend another 150m on transfers because that’s not enough

Alternatively, why didn't he have more than one possible target lined up?

You're loving retarded. He chose not to spend any of it on a loving centre back. We went into this season with a first choice who can't stay fit for two weeks, a second choice who is a liability, Ragnar loving Klavan, and Joe Gomez.

bewbies posted:

He didn't need to overpay. All he needed was a better second/third choice. Basically everyone else around us managed to buy a centre back, but there was nobody better than Lovren or Klavan, apparently.

RideTheSpiral posted:

There are repeated defensive errors, primarily at set pieces, that are caused by the system Klopp has decided to use. That has nothing to do with the attack.

My understanding of coaching and skill is also rooted in a dollar value. Clearly Klopp isn't spending enough. Anything short of winning everything means Klopp is poo poo and should be run out of town.

Ronaldo just won his 5th ballon d'or. Amazing. Glad to be alive to witness the era of Ronaldo, TRP's favorite player ever. He's now won as many as Messi, the "alien from outer space" and "best player of all time" who "does things with a ball we've never seen before" (puking, growth hormones, epo, blood transfusions, losing finals, passing on his lovely genes to his children thus fating them to a life of wedgies and getting their heads dunked in dirty toilets). drat. Good job all Ronaldo fans, we did it.
