Also, Liverpool spent £170m last summer, over £100m more than City. He is spending his way to success, contradicting what he said when he first started the role. It's hilarious how the hipsters forget his lack of success. That you've enjoyed the season is nice, he needs at least one trophy to justify his gargantuan spending or it will be another year of failure for him. Seven whole years without a trophy is awful, he just doesn't compare to successful managers like Guardiola, Mourinho or Simeone. Football is difficult at that level, no matter what happens now its laughable to describe this season as anything other than a huge success for Klopp. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathetic and a brexit club to boot. They got the point that they needed to secure safety. If only John Barnes did that 30 years ago . -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seven whole years without a trophy is awful, he just doesn't compare to successful managers like Guardiola, Mourinho or Simeone. Saying he's spent a lot is a bit of a pointless criticism. What do you suggest he do? Not spend the money and piss about in 5th or 6th like Arsenal? Unless you get a miracle like Leicester you are going to have to spend £100s millions at that level to get the team winning the league. Their competitors are spending similar amounts, Chelsea spent £100 million on a goalkeeper, Man City buy full-backs for £50 million a pop and others who struggle to get a game for the same price. Man Utd have spent an insane amount on players yet have never been further away from potential league winners. That is just the game these days, the skill is spending the money properly, which Klopp has done. He has improved every position in that team since he arrived with the exception of a creative midfielder (through losing Coutinho). It's not like he's been signing proven world class players like Messi, Ronaldo and Hazard. All the guys he has signed, despite already being very good players, had a bit to prove at the top level: Mane was at Southampton, as was van Dijk, Salah did well with Roma but was a failure last time in the Premier League, Robertson was in the Championship, Wijnaldum, bringing Alexander-Arnold through. Plus as mentioned he lost his best player in the middle of all this. They may win nothing but regardless it has been an excellent season for them, and probably more importantly it is sustainable, he has built a squad that will continue to challenge domestically and in Europe therefore they will win something sooner or later. That is what Liverpool needed, since the early 90s they've had a few good teams and won trophies, but they never looked like returning to be one of the dominant English sides again, they now do. Compare their trajectory since Klopp arrived to the mess at Man Utd and you will see how good a job he's done, despite having arguably a worse starting point and spending less money. And I say all that as someone who can't stand the club! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reference to Klopp's spending came from his own hypocrisy (he didn't want to spend that money and get success that way apparently) and Rab saying they never spent to City levels last year, when they actually outspent city by £100m last summer. He's become the chequebook manager he said he wouldn't be, hasn't won a trophy yet but still has all the hipsters frothing about him. The facts are he hasn't won a trophy in seven years. He has spent an utter fortune yet people suggest he is working some miracle to have Liverpool in these positions. They should be in those positions given their spend. It would be disgraceful if he had them nowhere near the title again. Being in the mix is a bare minimum. Look at what Simeone has done in the last seven years, winning trophies against giants with nowhere near the budget whilst Klopp has returned nothing. He must deliver at least one trophy this year. Anything else is a clear failure. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s time to let it go and accept that Liverpool are back . -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Shane Long scores the fastest goal ever in the EPL. The ball was passed back to the Watford centre half who took too long on the ball and had his clearance charged down by Long who ran through and finished nicely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant just say "he's out spent city by 100mill last summer" and use it as a stick to beat klopp with, tally up the total squad cost and then beat him if its more than city's spend, infact add up liverpool, city, chelsea, man united, who'd have spent the most on their squad As for comparing him to simeone, atletico did a Leicester once, they won the copa del rey and yeah he's won two europa leagues but given klopp has only been in the europa league once under him and finished runners up, and been in the CL every other season i dont think you can compare European triumphs Would we class ranieri as a better manager than klopp? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
