So who should be our next manager?

He lost Caicdeo, Mac Allister & Colwill returned to Chelsea and the players they identified, aren’t as good. Mitoma has been injured for long periods. 
 

Take the 3 / 4 best players out of any side and replace them inferior players and they’d struggle. 

 

Yeah thats what i was getting at as some reason for it

But he has kind of looked defeated to me, from the little i have watched at them. Maybe just seeing your best players sold each year has soured things a bit. He is obviously a good coach, if thats enough to walk into a dressing room like ours is another thing.

Rumour is DeZerbi. Not for me. In fact I'm already calling for his shittly gelled head, the little shit beard. 

Fuck me, what a kick in the balls this is gonna be. 

 

Are they really going to force me to drive all the way to Brighton to deal with this?

It looks like he is staying at Stuttgart but maybe one to keep a eye on

They also said in England, the closest to Klopp is Michael Carrick. 
 

IMO, we can’t go for Klopp 2. We need to do something a bit different.

that's the nail there. 
 

there's something missing for me to connect as a fan. 
 

I had no idea who the other guy was from

sporting but a lot of people did. But I didn't have the same feelings about him as I did de zerbi

It’s gonna end up like moyes walking into the Mancs dressing room and it’s who’s this fucking gimp

His comments after the game with us were telling. He wants more ambition shown at Brighton, he can’t keep selling his best players for hundreds of millions, buy unheard of players for peanuts and turn them into superstars every time. 
 

Don’t get me wrong, I have concerns on his personality as well.

No wonder we were getting the leaks of Liverpool aren't scared to ignore the popular choice. Its probably going to be someone mediocre isn't it but ticks a few little boxes and will doth the cap to Edwards and his bezzy  Hughes.

 

This appointment is massive and even the popular choices are underwhelming. Zerbi, Thomas Frank or Baldy slot... jeez that's grim. It was always going to be the case after Klopp it's a downgrade and it's clearly not an easy task to replace him. 

Frank seems like a good egg and the gig probably requires that trait above any other. The club has it currently stands doesn't need a radical overhaul, its needs continued stability. The squad is built, it doesn't require some tactical genius that is a clown or fraud like Rodgers,  equally someone that falls out with everyone is no use.  It's  Hughes and Edwards job to establish if the football he plays his based on resources or his natural inclination.

If we’re giving everything, improving and winning, the connection will come. 
 

Look at Benitez, he’s one of the coldest coaches we’ve ever had. I can’t see him ever being as friendly with the players as Klopp (Gerrard’s books confirm this), he never celebrated when we scored, barely ever smiled or showed a sense of humour… but, for a time at least, we all loved him.  

[Leyton388]

It is going to be Rodgers 2.0. FSG hit the lottory with Klopp and now he's had enough the shit will hit the fan and they'll be exposed as the frauds they are.

The issue is he joined Brighton knowing thats how they do things, this is his first full season(i do realise he was managing Brighton from October last season mind) and is already throwing a fit after a very unfortunate second half of the season due to injuries(which frankly also concern me as it kind of hints thats his training methods responsible plus our injury record is hardly great as is), his attitude also has seemingly spread to their actual team who just seem to now lack that bit of belief that seemed to push them on last season, not really something I'd want to see at Liverpool.

 Jobs for the boys Edwards probably employs Howe.

Given the amount of muscle injuries everybody has suffered this season, I don’t think any conclusions can be drawn from any training methods because everybody has suffered.

 

I agree with your point on his attitude. I’m not sold on his personality, he seems to confrontational - officials, his chairman etc… the scrutiny will be a lot higher with us.

When Rodger’s was sacked, according to the Data Game book I’ve finished reading, the shortlist to take over was Klopp, Ancelotti & Howe.  

[Bobby Hundreds]

If we got Howe and his bell end number 2 that would definitely be my final nail in the football coffin.

I'd have Rodgers, Moyes, Solskjaer,  Mourinho or Usworth before Eddie Howe.

Have mentioned him a few times, he's doing really well with Stuttgart.

 

But the family connection with Bayern probably means he's going there.

People are going to be delusional enough to think we are entitled be a top four side as a result of our history despite spending like a lower top 10 side. Following our recent dip in form, I’ve seen a ton of social media cretins declaring that Klopp’s departure might be a good thing - they’re going to have a rude awakening next season, when the extent of our over-performance under his management becomes clear.

 

The reality is that Europa League qualification would have to be seen as a really good result for a club that invests on the pitch like ours.
