Yeah but they get plenty wrong - and the money just means they can ride it.

 

How much did they spend on Lukaku and Werner - both total flops.

 

The stable thing IMO at their football club has been the luxury of being able to throw massive sums of money around without too much fear of 'what if it does not work out'

 

 

Lukaku was a disaster. Clearly someone Tuchel didn't want.

For Werner, we've had Keita at similar fees, so it happens.

Most of their signings have been spot on, to be fair to them.

It's definitely chaotic. They've been reliably linked with about a million different players. 

You said they were buying random players. I showed you they aren't random. They're like for like, and upgrades in every case except Koubaily.

Are we sure we're even interested in Nunes? Sporting would have to be open to selling as well. They've knocked back some bids this summer for him already. 

We must be. He scored a couple of long rangers. Isn't that the new criteria?

Yeah they defy all established logic...

 

Managerial/coaching stability/give time to build.....fuck that.

 

A careful transfer policy....fuck that.

 

Yet the sheer weight of the money they have thrown at it all makes it work.

On one hand, I agree.

On the other, their stability has come from everything above the manager, or head coach, as they call it.

Similar to Bayern, Real, and most Italian clubs.

This summer has been even more haphazard than usual.

Maybe. But they've had to deal with all sorts of shit with contracts, Barcelona fucking them, and a new ownership who've decided to get rid of the previous structure.

That side today includes their best players from last season, save for Koulibaly, who's as good as anything you have outside this league, plus Sterling and Cucurella with proper Premier league pedigree.

They are about to add Abamayeng to replace Werner, which is a mssive upgrade, and De Jong too.

It's hardly chaotic.

It's possible that Chelsea's strategy of just randomly buying good players might work.

When hasn't it?

Yes. Everytime the cunt goes like Graeme Graeme Graeme or Jamie Jamie Jamie or Kelly Kelly Kelly......just doesn't let anyone else talk or question the stupid reason he is trying desperately to give. Even after people point out the stupidity he sticks to the reason he gave initially.

 

The knob head earns in millions for spouting that kind of rubbish every single week. He is probably on a bonus based contract with Sky that is based on the amount of rubbish he spouts.

It's like no-one is allowed an opinion on 'his' club.

Can anyone else smell that stench?

I have no idea why you are having a pop at me here.

 

My comment was that Klopp was pissed off in a 2 minute video.

 

That is why i wrote 'really pissed off here' and posted the 2 min video.

 

The 'here' was referring to the clip.....and i stand by what i said - to me he looked and sounded really frustrated and pissed off with the woman asking the question and the question.

 

He even called it silly and also said something to her about 'you have such an easy life' or something like that.

 

Why you are having a pop at me over that and calling me a glass half empty guy over it i don't know. Feels wires are crossed somewhere on this one.

 

I am by own admission a glass half empty guy, yeah - but seriously i don't know why this comment about a 2 min video where in my view Klopp is clearly pissed off (and where we have already agreed i was not having a pop at Klopp) with the question he was fielding has got you worked up.

 

I was not suggesting for a moment Klopp being pissed off was a bad thing.

 

I can only assume you have somehow misinterpreted what i meant - or the clip i posted is not what i thought it was or something.

 

Anyway no big deal - just feels a bit weird it has blown to this point.

 

Here is the 2 mins i was referring to....IMHO, Klopp is pissed off here...

 

 

Mate, you do whatever works for you. We've obviously got totally different perspectives on what being really pissed off is. I'd invite you to watch the whole thing.

He's cool as fuck about the situation, and even in your clip, he goes out of his way to explain himself after his initial irritation with the criticism that we start games slowly.

My take is that he got arsey having to defend his side, and that lasted all of 10 seconds. That's Klopp 101.

What is up with you and your sarky comments on almost every thread today?

Everything is fucking doom and gloom on every fucking thread and I'm sick of it.

FSG are cunts, Klopp is pissed off, we haven't strengthened yet again, we have the shittest net spend yet again, everyone we do have is injury prone, and now, we're giving our secrets away in a fucking book.

There's very little that's positive on here, so I'm going to sarky the fuck out of every thread that isn't.

You’re clearly a piss in a glass and drink it kind of guy. Jog on, he was 100% pissed off in that clip and the guy who posted it made a simple remark stating so. Nothing more to it. 

As if I'm replying to you, you utter no mark.

I was commenting on just the barely 2 min clip in answer to one question that i posted.

Mate, I give up. You're clearly a glass half empty guy, and I hope that works for you.

He looked and sounded pissed off to me

Watch it again then.

Watch the whole 17 minutes properly. 

Or don't.

It's Curtis Jones, how many people would even recognise him outside of Liverpool? Don't think he needs 3-4 heavies to accompany him, seems a bit ott. Then again he is in London...

Good to know you've got all the details needed to make your point.

So apparently...

"Please be advised once you have forwarded your ticket it cannot be recalled, and one seat can only be forwarded a maximum of 3 times per game."

Now, I'm not the smartest tool in the box, but how the fuck can it be forwarded 3 times if I can't recall it?

The only thing I can think of is that the person I forward it to can then forward it to a Family and Friend if his, and that can happen once more by the new recipient.

Is that right?

It wasn't a criticism of him at all....just feel he was fed up with the stupid questions and yeah to me was pissed off in his reply and manner.

I didn't say it way a criticism.

You described that clip as him being "really pissed off here".

He clearly wasn't.

The book thing is a head scratcher. I've not read it & almost certainly won't read it but I would imagine other coaches & managers will be all over it & it worries me how much he is giving away in there.

Yeah, we're fucked.

Really pissed off here....

 

 

Really?

You call that pissed off?

He gets agitated by any negative generalisation of the team, and always has done.

The issue with Conte is he's volatile. No one would question how good a manager he is. Man United, who should only care about winning stuff at this point because they haven't for a while, obviously shouldn't have cared about that volatility. They clearly should have hired him. 

 

With Spurs, it's a different story because they don't have the resources or cache of Man United so it's fair to ask if they were the right fit for Conte. But if they continue backing him and he is happy, of course he can be the right man. 

That may be your take. But you don't speak on behalf of the forum and the proof is all there.

Conte needs millions, Conte won't last until the summer,  Conte won't make top 4.

Utter wibble.

Also, it's hilarious how Neville turned up his nose at Conte who's completely turned around Spurs at a fraction of the cost United have incurred. 

90% of this forum did the same 

Can someone please sum this up for me?

You can't give someone an extended run in a team who gets injured every time he plays a game.

Yeah, but apart from that

I can put those stats here as well, together with his average and the other players average from last season.

 

I get it, Frode, but 85% is not "good for Matip". Its average.

Also, the stats don't tell you what happened with the 15%, and in the last game, the 15% was utter dog turd.

6 hours ago, DJLJ said:

Code put Joel's passing stats up in the match thread I think. They were very good. 85% accuracy, so not sure why everyone is saying his passing was poor.

85% from a center back who doesn't ever hit it long, against relegation fodder, for a possession based side like us, is the absolute minimum I would expect.

The problem is the 15%. Most of it seemed to put us in trouble.
