That’s why it took him more than a season and a half. If only our cretins could understand this.

Klopp under achieved with that side. He should have been able to win the league with that line up.

That was the team for his first game VC.

All this discussion I see on coaching from managers is a bit of nonsense when you see their first 11 now. You simply have to have the players to work with

You missed out the part where he said he wouldn't be in football when they pay large amounts for players as United did for Pogba.

They had Henderson, Firmino, Lovren and Gomez as well (though Gomez didn’t play much back then).

And Benteke and Sturridge.

No. He didn't mean that. Otherwise he'd have said it.

and TAA of course, though he was presumably still in nappies.

but i'm with jinja on this, if your scouts go out and buy you good players, you will have a good team. if they buy you very good players, you will have a very good team.

from what i read quite a lot of the credit, for some purchases certainly (robertson, salah), goes to the scouts rather than the manager.

so i know some people are determined to blame ole for what he doesn't do - why doesn't he shout a lot on the sidelines, klopp does? - but really the lessons to be learned at the club are mainly for the scouts and negotiating team - buy some good players for less than stupid fees please.

Pretty much. People talk like Klopp and Pep would help develop Lingard and Pereira into world class players.

Yeah no doubt. But I’m just putting into perspective that this wasn’t Liverpool’s ‘starting eleven’. They had loads of their best players missing.

Klopp’s a genius, though. Liverpool’s signings have been amazing but so many of these players have improved because of him.

At the start of the 18/19 season, when looking at Liverpool’s team, there’s not a single person in the world that would have predicted Liverpool to get 97 and then 96-99 points the following years. It’s ridiculous.

"We don’t care about what the world around is thinking. Like Man United didn’t care what I had to say about it (Pogba).

"It’s only an opinion in that moment. Did I change my opinion? Yes. That’s true. It’s better to change an opinion than to never have one."

It just shows how well they have spent. Apart from maybe Keita I can't think of a bad signing they've made. Thankfully we have started to improve but we are still well behind them in recruitment.

No one ever seems to have read Klopp quotes on this, instead just spouting some red top headline they read and bookmarked 4 or so years ago.

i'm pretty sure people have read the quotes, and can read english, and also understand the difference between a literal truth (hey, we haven't spent £100m on one player) and the gist of what he was saying.
