    Based on current evidence, Klopp has made the step up very well and is currently the best manager in the league (except for Ranieri if he keeps it up, but who also doesn't have the pressure of being at a big club so is difficult to compare right now)

    What "step up", he has just spent years managing Dortmund now he has come to a mid table premier league side.

    He's taken a step down and therefore doesn't have any pressure, same as Ranieri.

    You don't rate him as highly as Rodgers. That's documented.

    Klopps not the best manager in the league or even close. Klopps current stock is that of a modtable manager at a midtable club. While Klopp certainly has the quality to improve that and rebuild his reputation, he's at the very worst club to do that. A club that's reputation has been trounced over and over again.

    Quite rightly so too. If Palace get a point tonight against Sunderland it will mean Klopp has taken them one place down in the league since taking over (9th to 10th).

    All the bounce of a bean bag so far :emoticon-0100-smile

    Scott Dann (scouser) has just given Sunderland all 3 points. Klopp has gained 1 place on Rodgers.

    Maybe as much bounce as a medicine ball :emoticon-0100-smile

    Yep, in the 5 games since Klopp took over they have had some amazing results and tonight Sunderland made sure they have moved up the table by 1 place.
    At this rate 40 more games and they will be top :emoticon-0100-smile

    10th or 9th, the madcap rollercoaster ride of midtable mediocrity.

    How does the hashtag go again? #progress :)

    I think you'll find the new one is #consistency

    Can't knock Norbert on that one - since he took over he has consistently kept them in 9th or 10th place <ok>

    Ah yes, I remember that argument.

    It was the same one you brought out in the 2010/11 season if I recall correctly <ok>
