Spurs away 17/10/15

[Kevin D]

Not as much as it cost him.

Nobody is bigger than the club.

I think you're being unrealistic moof. There hasn't been time to instigate massive improvement. Perhaps by the beginning of next season we might see massive improvement.

The first thing he's gonna do is make sure the defence is organised and everyone's roles are clearly defined. That's a massive improvement, to me.

Yeah, nice to hear him talk about stability being the foundation for creativity.

[Oh Buoy]

The first thing he's gonna do is make sure the defence is organised and everyone's roles are clearly defined. That's a massive improvement, to me.

 

The fucking mentalist. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

As long as he sees character in a performance that displayed none.

That shit ain't gonna happen overnight.  Our defence has licked balls since Rafa left, there is no quick fix for that.  Stringy probably isn't too far off in saying next season before we see a big improvement.  In the meantime hopefully the individual errors on a regular basis will be sorted and we'll start to see gradual improvement in the defence as a whole.

[TheHowieLama]

Can guarantee we will be far more compact in our own half.

[Baltar]

The injuries have dampened my enthusiasm a bit, especially being away to a difficult team. Would have loved to see Klopp start his career at the club by having Henderson, Benteke, Gomez, Ings, and Firmino available for the first game. If Klopp pulls off the win, I'm backing us for the title.

[Red House]

Not expecting immediate fireworks myself with the international break, injuries and upcoming midweek Europa and Carling Cup games. Plus we have a really tough run of league games coming up.(Spurs (A), Southampton (H), Chelsea (A), Palace (H), City (A)). Really not the best time for a manager to come in and implement his ideas. We will probably see some snippets of the compact pressing and direct quick interchanges in possession, but it will probably take a couple of months till we can see it carried out over a full ninety minutes. That said, if we can nick some results here and there and stay within touching distance of the table toppers after that run of games, I reckon we could even have a go at the title, but that's a big if.

 

One thing we are definitely entitled to expect though is an immediate change in the mentality and attitude of the players. If they can't get up their games with a new manager like Klopp coming in, then they don't deserve to be here. But, I'm convinced we will at least see a change in attitude tomorrow.

[Tarwater]

Add Rossiter to injury list.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Christ our players body's are shitbags.

[manwiththestick]

He's training them too hard. Klopp out.

[TheHowieLama]

Remember Rodgers spouting off about how he handled fast twitch players differently - good times.

[Tarwater]

Rossiter's injury unfortunately a result of playing three games for England in five days...

[magicrat]

How bad is Rossiter ?

[Reckoner]

3 Games in 5 days for a young lad? Aidy Hoofroyd can take a bow the thick Yorkshire twat.

[Tarwater]

From Express:

 

Tensions between Liverpool and the Football Association have been further inflamed after Jordan Rossiter reported a hamstring injury after playing three games in five days for England U19s.

[moof]

Wouldn't like to be on the other end of the phone when Klopp calls the FA to find out what the fuck is going on

[TheHowieLama]

I would hope Klopp has better things to do than phone the FA about an under 19 player tbh.

[moof]

I'd be raging, three 90 minute games in 5 days? Fuck right off

[TheHowieLama]

Pretty sure he weren't the only one to do that.

[Tarwater]

He played every single minute even though they were qualified before the last game.

[TheHowieLama]

So did half the team - they needed to finish top of the group.

 

Rossiter has played what - 15 minutes in the league for us?

[moof]

Pretty sure he weren't the only one to do that.

Does it matter? I only care about Liverpool players and I don't think Klopp is going to let the FA run our players into the ground

[TheHowieLama]

So if he had not been injured you think Klopp would have named him in the squad for an early Saturday kickoff after coming back from playing 3 games in 5 days?
