one of my most controversial opinions is that Jurgen Klopp just isn’t that good. Won hardly anything for the squad he had.

that’s not to minimise Slots achievement which is fantastic, especially in season 1

I mean pipped to the league by City twice, when Liverpool themselves got 92 and and 97 points. Basically coming across a gulf oil state when whilst spending money are more pragmatic about it than other elite sides.

Then the spend 16/17 - 23/24 (Klopp was autumn 2015)

Liverpool Income 90, 184, 41, 48, 17,31, 81, 60 = 552
Liverpool expenditure 126, 173, 182, 10, 85, 94, 146, 172= 988

Net 436m

City Income 35, 91, 57, 71, 64, 94, 162, 138= 712
City Expenditure 216, 318, 78, 99, 174, 140, 155, 260= 1,44billion

Net 728m

436m net spend over 8 season, 54m a year and we know for a fact that the city wages etc blow liverpool out the water so factor that in to.

Inherited a side that had finished 6th, some 20 points behind city and included world beaters such as Balotelli, Origi, Lambert etc

Could arguably have another 2 prem titles on his hands when the City 115 drops, dont think it works like that but on a technicality, took the rag and tag liverpool side to the euopra final, losing to emmerys incredible seviilla and he lost two champions league finals to madrid, the second in close fashion and the first was an absolute farce in which ramos purposefully went out and crippled salah and didnt even get a card, and salah was HIM at that moment.

Not to mention the regular obliterations of Peps city and just the blood and thunder football and not this metronomic possession nonsense we see that dominates the landscape.
 
I dont mind admitting - Phillip Billing and Scott McTominay in midfield for Napoli sitting top of Serie A wasn't on my bingo card but fair play to them.
 
He wouldn’t flop. Got the lot.

Was winding my mate up about his opponents last night, one of the CB’s was a £25k purchase from Cameroon and the other a freebie who couldn’t get a game in the Uruguay league :emoticon-0102-bigsm whether or not he’ll do it in the prem is to be seen but he’s undoubtedly playing against absolute cannon fodder most weeks. Wadnt even get a game for Shields those two
 
Wouldn’t wish injury on anyone but if Leeds could go in extra hard tonight it would be appreciated
 
Leeds United 20:00 Bristol City
I'm not really sure what I want to happen in this game to be honest.

It's possible the final playoff place will be decided by goal difference.

Let's say Bristol lose tonight which leaves them on 67 points.

If Boro beat Coventry they would go onto 67 points but with a better GD. They'd go above Coventry who only have 66 points
