Never said that In fact I didn't call it a bad run - it isn't - it's only more emphasised because of the cup games. Klopp was under pressure from day 1. He called in his opening interview for patience and the sane amongst us [or in my case the semi-sane] all respect that. He's the right man for the job, no doubt about it. More losses will feed the media more than the discerning fans.
We are already out of top 4 and realistically the relative talent levels and squads wiyld suggest we wont get back there. Oh and its a terrible run. A shocker... but it makes no difference. Theres nobody in global football that could do a better job or would come to us.
Yet but, but, he has only had 1 full preseason and 3 transfer windows (not much help when you have to scrape in what you can to spend).
Nobody in global football could have won more than 1 game in 10 (against a 4th tier team), you seriously have to be kidding there
Surely that would be a good way to build squad strength by giving you a competent back up when you get the first choice in the summer?
Nobody who would join us Its like how utd had to pick up the worst performing chelsea manager for years. Beggers and choosers.. you know all about it
He's got to live or die by his decisions but I'm happy with proceedings so far. Sure, we're in a blip but he'll be learning more about the players now than when we were winning. Plus I think we will go on a good run soon enough.
Just a thought though... Teams have started sitting deep and narrow, clearly shouting "come and break is down". The biggest problem for us here is the removal of pressing. As Klopp shot himself in the foot? He went on MNF talking about pressing being the best No.10 in the world. Teams sitting back remove this strength!
i think personally its al about firmino not going the work any more.. forget the sit deep stuff. sides can do that and still mess up and pass and cough up an chance. the passing speed is awful right now. 4 touch football... not 1 touch... then you look at the front 3 and firmino is not starting the press any more. klopp needs to sort 3 things 1. incompetant defense. IF we had any competance these losses recently would have been draws. hull and woleves and swansea were down to rank defending... rank 2. passing speed. get one touch going. that requires moving to get a pass and constant moving 3. press from front.
No it isn't. As I said, take the cup games out which were a shocker but by a scratch team, and the last 5 league games aren't that bad, not what we expected for a team supposedly challenging but equally that early challenge run wasn't expected.
When at Dortmund they brought in that training machine to do passing. Balls came from any direction and you had to pass it to the right place straight away.
The cup games are still part of the fixture list so yes, it is a terrible run. However, just to play along... We've lodt two and drew three of our last five that included games against Hull, Sunderland and Swansea!
