Klopp's Methods Getting Stick Again...

[Jay86]

I think Klopp will learn from this season and factor these things in in future. I don't think its that we are 'too intense' its just that its probably too intense for our current bunch of fannies and future signings will represent players who are physically,and mentally,stronger than our current crop.

Yea I agree he will learn, we don't really know how intense the training sessions are but I can imagine they are pretty intense and like you've said it may just be to much for our mentally challenged lot. This will def be altered in the summer, starting with signing a few German or Bundesliga players will help.

Our team are a bunch of teenage pampered vaginas. We need proper mentally tough lads. None of this Nivea and manicure bullshit.

vegan vaginas even.

Something sufficiently evolved to grow a spine would be nice too.

If we miss out on the CL, should Klopp be held accountable for not improving our thin squad in January, when we were in a good position?

You can't be going round here saying things like that, that's it, I'm jacking this footy lark off. #flounces off

Nobody is bigger than the club.

Come on it's a stupid fucking question.

Apart from the fact no-one knows if it was Klopp's choice or FSG's to not invest in January, what the fuck does "held accountable" even mean? Make him apologise publically? Put him in the stocks? Sack him? All ridiculous suggestions, and a ridiculous question. Utterly pointless drivel.

He should be forced to explain himself to the forum and made to spend £400m against his will.  Or he can go after the general election.  Brexit means Brexit.

“It is not as if there are 20 players out there who could make this team stronger, who are running around and are available,” Klopp continued.

"... and are available,” Klopp continued

Don't ignore that bit, the bit which could have a couple of meanings one being "available within our budget".

Besides, he's not going to come out less than 18 months into a job, a job he is likely to have been made fully aware the conditions of, and criticise the owners. I don't believe he'll ever do that unless they renege on previous assurances given.

And would you care to expand on "held accountable"?

[G Richards]

We tried to strengthen in January, but Draxler chose PSG. I'm waiting to see how the season ends (we still have top four in our own hands with two games to go) and then I'm waiting to see what business is done in summer before getting stuck into Klopp.

 

He's not perfect, but he has us going in the right direction, and so far it's on very little expenditure (the hope is we've been 'saving up' but we'll see about s summer).

No. It should be blamed on the people that sell off all our squad players every time we're not in Europe. The ones that are more obsessed with the wage bill than winning anything. 

[Ginny]

The business question is - what saves/makes more money with the least risk over a period of time.

 

Play for top four with minimal expenditure, wage bills and squad over a period of years. Anything more than that is exceeding expectations. Maybe a cup every now and then. Advertising and sponsors now locked in over time with a steady income from that.

 

Buy loads of expensive players, put them on big wages with no guarantee of qualifying or winning anything. Tailoring to their whims with inflated agents costs. What the difference in profit from winning the league etc... and how much you have to lay out compared to what we're doing over time.

To be fair those squad players are shit anyway and shouldn't haven been bought in the first place. Though replacing average Joe with a worse player for near double the money in Wijnaldum was inspired. As was dumping Sakho and wasting money on an infererior player in Klavan.

Include trying to replace a shit keeper with an even shitter one. No doubt that Zorc did the transfers pretty much alone in Dortmund.

[Grinch]

First it was Ian Arye's fault for not signing anyone, now it's the manager choosing to keep a weak squad. Maybe one day FSG will run out of scapegoats.

Maybe walk of shame? Nothing too extreme.

They're not mutually exclusive.

Unless you're asking Klopp to buy players with his own money then yes they are.

Klopp said it himself that there was no one available he thought was good enough to improve our team.

As usual with this line of thinking, we're assuming that Klopp has zero influence, is a moron with the wool pulled over his eyes or a pussy.

 

The far more likely scenario is that Klopp thought he could get by with this squad whilst we aren't in Europe and will buy more down the line.

[Grinch]

Klopp said it himself that there was no one available he thought was good enough to improve our team.

He also spoke many times in December and January about the need to strengthen. He could have bitched and moaned about the owners once the window closed but that wouldn't reopen the window nor help in the slightest in getting anything out of the piss poor squad he's been left with.

I'm assuming no such thing.

You definitely should because it's obvious that this is what has happened.
