What has been Klopps excuse?

Last year it was fixture congestion #excuseinkloppstyle

 

Very odd ones.


You've just ignored my point.

Top teams? By definition top teams are the ones winning stuff anyway.

Let's be frank.

Spurs... not a top team for 50 years or whatever.. still not a top team. Have not won ****.

Simple.

As for fans of top teams. You can divide those into many cstehories but plastics always scream loudest so why tar everyone with their drmands.

If you are a fan of a side who've not had success you will enjoy a cup win or a promotion or whatever greatly. The process of winning is the drama, the edge of the seat stuff.

Look at Leicester, you could never call the ****e they served up knocking it long at Vardy and plonking two dms in from of two ugly cbs exciting... did they care? Did they ****.

If you are city or Utd and assume the win is a given then you don't have the wonder in that run. It's the individual game that's got to grab you or whatever....

Btw... lfc is not drama, it's waiting for the other shoe to drop. You can't enjoy a good performance until they are 4 up cos they are one second from implosion all tbe time.

Let's be frank lfc v juve in 2005 was awful two games but it was drama. Each round was new and exciting so the fare in the game was unimportant at the time.

Anyway........ big sides are not always top sides and there are some with unrealistic views. Like arsenal fans... can get tired of not going anywhere yes but to expect to win the league with billionaire clubs around is just silly. 2 fa cups and tgry dont evern celebrate. If thry somehow win the league cup it will be meaningless to them....

Excuse for getting us in the CL, or for improving us to the 2nd best team in the country?

 

I am amazed that he hasn’t sorted the defence out. Maybe the Keegan way is the only way he knows. Everyone remembers that great Keegan side that won nothing don’t they.

 

Who is being unable to defend entertaining for? The neutral?

 

One game a week, Leicester managed to win the league and get CL. They were lucky to escape relegation the year before.

2nd best team, the league tells a different story at the moment.

 

To be fair I'd like to see us with a Clyne, Van Dijk, Matip & Robertson/Moreno back four on a regular basis and see how it goes. Plus Keita in midfield to add some energy which we lack, leading the defence to get overwhelmed by midfield runners.

We don't actually concede that many shots, so there's something in the type of chances we concede or our goalkeeper problem.

 

They only really remember the meltdown.

And the 5-0 win if not a far of a certain side.

 

How is your manager taking you forward?
2 cup final losses with the previous managers team in his first season then what? top 4 in his second and nothing else
Brendan got you top 4 a couple of times too you know.
Our manager got us 2 cup wins in his first season and back in the CL, who knows what either of us will get this season.
I can say that Jose took us further forward in 1 season than Klopp has taken you in 2 and a half.

 

We're 3rd and rising. The team in 2nd is imploding. You work it out. Or act surprised when it happens.

 

Yeah, they probably do, but as he actually had a chance to finish his time at Newcastle before people could say he won **** all there I think you are jumping the gun, I'd guess Klopp still has time to win something before drawing comparisons with Keegan.

 

Your manager took you nowhere. The £300m pumped into the squad is the only reason you've had any success, and even that was Jose running to 2nd rate cups because he bottled the big competitions.

 

I like that post

 

There's a button for that

 

Wow, 3rd and rising yet this weekend could see you 5th and falling

 

I used it

 

TBF their owner is worth $8 billion and they were promised leaving Highbury for the library would allow them to compete

 

Could being the key word here. The fact is we are 3rd, not 5th

 

Yeah but to be fair your manager chucked the big competitions to go after the same 2 cups and bottled them both

 

So you think Mourinho and Klopp both started of their respective careers at our clubs on an equal basis?

Your manager had a pre-season and two transfer windows in his first season and mega bucks to spend compared to Klopp who had one window during a 7 month first season with far less funding .
