Not sure what you mean, I have not changed my posting style<ok> This losing run seems to have you a little annoyed<ok>

Is it because Lallana and his hair have let you down?

The :bandit: obviously meant a little tongue in cheek mate

Annoyed schmannoyed. Claiming I'm annoyed is the recourse of a loser. A 10 year old loser. Don't bothere lowering yourself to that level

Your posts and "banter" have definitely changed.

maybe it's the to and fro with Astro, I know that can bring out the worse in people <laugh>



some more tongue in cheek comments mate

Yeah, imagine having a manager who thinks he is the best man for the job <whistle>

yup shocking.

A man can think what he likes.

when people KNOW a guy is top class by his record they are more inclined to sign for him for example.

Alexis sanchez - who's the midget with the trackie who keeps calling me wonderful technician mr wenger?

Wenger - ignore him look at my shiny FA cup and pic of the invincibles don't mind the dust... thats just for show.
 
People seriously need to get this **** out of their head. Whether it happened a day or ten years prior, players don't sign because of what a team has won previously. They sign based on their chances of winning something once they join (plus the money of course). You don't get a medal for joining a previously successful club FFS <doh>
 
Seriously, how is Klopp and Rodgers even a debate? I can understand Rodgers having some good will left from last year seeing that he overachieved for you guys and had you playing excellent football, but there is only one reason to have Rodgers over Klopp and that is because he is the current Liverpool Manager and you guy's don't just sack managers like that (except for Hodge Podge).

Otherwise Klopp wins hands down

Football Style
Klopp - more attacking, more goals, fast paced pressing style
Rodgers - doesn't have a set philosophy, only scored loads of goals in 1 season at pool, has had goals in only 1 of his seasons at liverpool and seemingly changes philosophies every half a season).

Transfers/Youth -
Klopp bought in (rather than inherited) Gundogan, Kagawa, Lewandoski, Reus, Gotze, Bender, Grosskeutz, Hummels, Pizcek, Aubemayang, Blaszczykowski and at relatively cheap prices. Apart from this year where he has spent 50m, he literally has a 0 Net spend. So that's 50m over 7 years.
Rodgers - His hits are Coutinho, Sturridge and Sahko. He has bought through Sterling (and even then fans are unhappy with sterling). He has spent 100m over 3 years and literally
Trophies
Klopp I don't even need to go into this. He took Dortmund to a champions league final and in an impressive stylish way and were unlucky to lose to Bayern.

Talk ****
Admittedly i don't follow german football much so can't comment on how much **** Klopp chats
Rodgers - King of the chatting **** including my all time favourite gaff of Spurs spending 100m should be challenging for a title (even though they finished 5th) when his own team is finishes 2nd and spends 120m.

Longevity
Klopp - done it over a longer period and been successful for 4 seasons running
Rodgers - Had 1 successful season.

Marked in bold is who wins

True he's done well with Flanno, even if MITO always disses him, i think he's a good asset (minus his Sturridge like injury record recently)

I added Ibe too <ok>

MITO is just one of a few haters. They tend to hate Brod too.


Edit: these haters would label all and sundry 'average' given the opportunity too :)

Lol, not having Ibe. He has played about 5 games, has like 0 assists and 0 goals. Firstly that sample is ridiculous. Even Barkley has done more in his first few games and we know how much of a flop he is. Ibe may become good but for now he has done f all

He's played thirteen games under Brod, plus been sent out on two loans gaining a further thirty-five appearances. He may not have done much yet but Brod has given him his chance and he's looked good in those games.

Well in 13 games that he's looked good, he has 0 assists and 0 goals. I'm not saying that stats is the end all and be all but apart from looking energetic and going on a few mazy runs, he hasn't exactly done much. As a winger he should be expected to be creating/scoring goals. If anything, he has been as much part of your problem in your last 2 games as everyone else with no goals.

As for counting his loan spell, does Mourinho get kudos for loaning Bamford out and developing him? or De Bruyne when we loaned him out and does he get credit for Courtois? Mourinho made his his 1st keeper!.

I am not sure that winning the bullshitting stakes is a great positive for him...<laugh>

He is his own worst enemy on many occasions., He raises expectations to such a level. He can't complain when people judge him by the same expectaions HE himself created. Example: just before the match gainst the mancs, he stated very clearly in no uncertain terms: "We are going for 2nd, not just top 4".

Is it then surprising that "he becomes the victim of his own massive success" with fans asking him to be sacked? <laugh>
