In regards to A, Klopp said afterwards he told the players to not play a high line so whether there not following orders or he's not telling the truth is anyone guess.

If the team go out and don't do what you, the manager, says, then you, the manager, are responsible. Tough, but the buck stops there.

i'd rather see Can as one of 3 CB's than DM where he just goes missing .

I'd rather see him at CB than Lucas, but I am conscious that Mahrez just left him rooted to the ground twice last night. He's not the most agile player, is he? Sort of Phil Jones without any speed, tackling or heading ability. He can pass.... occasionally.
 
If Klopp is a truly ambitious manager he needs to put the gun to FSG heads or tell us all why they wont spend the cash and walk away.
Players are regressing under him because we dont have the squad to support the total pressing game he wants to play - I didnt see a single press last night ?
Lets be realistic - even if we get top 4 we wont survive the extra demands it will make on this squad and we embarrassingly may not survive any necessary pre-qualification ! .

Klopp has had 3 transfer windows to fix what we can all see ..
1. The goalie is flakey
2. We don't have a natural defender in the squad
3. We are short on leaders
4. Too many of the players are becoming injury prone ... and some dont want to play the press game ..

He's spent c. 68m and recovered 73m ... and none of these problems have been fixed. He's looking for bargain basement answers to BIG structural problems ... Benitez had the same issue - Rogers ha the same issue .. buy crap = buy twice / three times ... FSG need to step in now and back Klopp with big cash or he may well be off boys .. Klopp can see whats wrong but once again the americanos have not ponied up any new cash ... we buy dross and it bites us and we have little or no impact from thr bench (see last nights bench v MC - Chelsea - Utd - Arsenal benches)

If FSG don't want to take liverpool to a new level then they should sell up and move on ... we are currently going nowhere fast under this regime ..

<applause> I'll shut up now as you've said it all there bar one thing - I truly don't think Klopp is 100% innocent in all this, and I think it's his ego as much as anything that he refuses to buy big in a Wenger-like belief that he can always turn players around. Well, he damn well must have known we desperately needed players in January, even fillers on loan, and we're now out of two cup competitions and a nailed-on Top Four place thanks to a collective paralysis and aversion to facts at the heart of our club. I'd sack the board (and those owners who are not that much cop either) before I'd sack Klopp - but he's not above criticism in all this.

I have to agree. klopp cannot be absolved of his own errors cos thats not rational. however those who associate daring one utterance of critique as a call for heads is seriously foolish.
 
Are we having a vote? About time. I vote that we should rejoin.

Klopp has his fault but he's one of the top managers in the World. I would say once he actually has a decent squad then we can judge him on errors.

There are so few likable players in our squad its worrying.
