Put that Manc journo in his place good & proper.

[Frankenhooker]

What I find so refreshing is that he watches the same game as the rest of us, he described the 90 minutes I watched. Half the time I didn't know what game Rodgers was talking about, it certainly wasn't same one I witnessed.

 

He also clearly knows what the problem is, it'll take him time but he'll get us there.

Klopp on Matip: "There is nothing to say about it. If and when something is fixed you will be the first to know."

 

Klopp on first 100 days in charge of #LFC: "This isn't the time to think about these things too much. We have a very important game v Utd."

 

Klopp: "We could have done better, we could have done worse. Some great moments and some average moments."

 

Klopp: "We could have done better, we could have done worse. Some great moments and some average moments."

 

Klopp on Van Gaal: "He is one of the most successful managers in the world. He has a special idea of football & you have to respect this."

 

Klopp on style: "First of all I am a football fan. I like to be entertained. You need to play football that people want to talk about."

 

Klopp: "I like football because of the moments you can enjoy. It's our job to try to do it as often as possible."

 

Klopp: "Sunday is important for the table because we are close together. Both teams need the points. Derbies are the salt in the soup."

 

Klopp: "I had really good moments with Sir Alex. It was an honour to talk with him. Maybe he's greatest ever - the John Lennon of football."

 

Klopp: "It's a special game for me and for the club. I enjoyed the atmosphere v Arsenal but I think we can do better."

 

Klopp: "Everyone who was in the stadium on Wednesday, if he/she could get tickets again, do it again."

 

Klopp: "I don't think (difference in styles with Utd) is too important. It's a different idea of football but both want to be successful."

 

Klopp: "We are different characters. He (van Gaal) is more experienced. Maybe I'm more lively on touchline than him."

 

Klopp on Firmino: "Everyone needs time. Sometimes we couldn't change when we wanted. He's in good moment. He's not just a big team player."

 

Klopp: "Henderson okay, Ibe okay, Sakho okay. Kolo is still in the ice bath. No update on Sturridge."

 

Klopp is asked any idea when Sturridge will be back. "No." Lovren out for weekend

 

Klopp on return of loan players: "Not all of them will have matches in PL season but we want to take the rush out of their development."

 

Klopp: "They (Loan Players) have the potential but potential is not only thing. It is the performance you can make in front of 80,000 eyes."

That John Lennon comment. Christ.

That John Lennon comment. Christ.

 

god is a concept by which we measure our pain

[Jairzinho]

[VladimirIlyich]

I liked his Battery analogy when speaking to reporters,it might shut them up about 'gegenpressing' for 5 minutes.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Jesus, that Lennon comment is a bit naive.

[Sugar Ape]

Manc pre-match presser.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Lovren definitely out then, eek.

[Paco]

fergie the greatest ever. centre backs up front. where will it end?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

with shit loads of trophies I hope

[El Rojo]

Phew.

 

Thankfully he didn't call him the George Harrison of football. Would have been a shame if he compared him to the most talented Beatle.

[Pan77]

Jesus, that Lennon comment is a bit naive.

I couldn't care less about that. Ferguson is a cunt but he is one of the greater ever managers. That's certainly how he's perceived globally. Maybe it's a bit naive but that's part of his appeal for me. He just says it like it is. What would you want him to say...'Ferguson is a shite manager and a total cunt. I hated speaking to him'.

Praise him by all means, it's petty to do otherwise. But to be sat in front to LFC TV and use Lennon as the comparison just seems like it has the potential to rub a lot of people up the wrong way.

 

I can't honestly say I care as I'm not scouse. I'm from Northern Ireland so don't have any great pride in the Beatles as they are nothing to do with me or my culture, upbringing, family etc. Maybe I'm being naive in thinking it would bother people in Liverpool.

only if you decide to let it.  No doubt there will be people spending great energy on getting offended by it - energy that could far more productively be expended by doing the dishes or emptying the washing machine.

You're probably right. It will rub people up the wrong way. In my opinion though, it's pretty daft to get pissed off about something like that.
