I have to admire your optimism at this point but it seems you are trying too hard this time

Typically your usual optimistic demeanour will activate itself naturally when things go bad but this time it sounds like you are forcing a gun at your head and while trying list down the positives.

lol calm down man, do you even know what he mean when he first reply you? 

lol what? when did i say that? 

U need to calm down dude. Nobody's interested to pick a fight with you. Showing your anger and challenging ppl to a fist fight because of some comments thrown at you is the last thing you wanna do in a public forum.

lol man are you on period? chill man, its not like I steal your cookies or something.

ah, ok i am sorry, I should never quote and reply anyone on this open forum.

Highlights the importance of a truly world class goalkeeper. Mignolet was shit and calls for him to be dropped is definitely justified but Brad Jones was never good enough in the first place. I don't understand how some fans were calling Mignolet to be dropped for Jones. Jones has been with us for quite awhile now and has made sporadic appearances in cup matches against lower league oppositions but has even then he has never impressed me. He has always looked shaky on the ball and a far worse shot stopper than Mignolet. If Mignolet is shit then Brad Jones is worse. Question should be why are we not buying/targeting better keepers? Keepers don't have to be old to be good as proven by De Gea and Courtois or even Casillas before them. Both Chelsea and United gambled on a young up and coming keeper for relatively cheap prices and it is paying off handsomely. On the other flip of the coin, I'm sure there are some good experienced but affordable keepers out there as well. United has done it with Van der Sar. Why can't we do both? Barcelona has recently gone with both experience and young blood in Claudio Bravo for league games and Marc Andre ter Stegen for European and Cup games.

Anyhow I would be surprised to see us making CL next season and not surprised to see Rodgers staying in the hot seat until next season at least as our owners may buy his excuse that this is a transition period akin to his first season. If we have to transition like this every time we lose a star player what will happen when we lose Sturridge or Sterling which is a real possibility considering our inconsistent league form. Will it be a one season in one season out the CL from now on for us? Our second half of the season in BR's first season improved considerably so save his ass so he will need some serious luck to make it again without Suarez and Sturridge.

On a better note though, Dortmund has lost another game so if there is a time to snap Jurgen Klopp up - this is it! (maybe at the end of the season). Klopp is a European style "head coach" accustomed to working with a Director of Football though instead of a do-it-all manager. Dortmund is suffering because their star players are either gone or out injured and their replacements have failed to shine. Wonder if Klopp can do a better job if he is tasked with buying his own players. Also wonder if it is better for the DoF structure to be implemented once again to suit Klopp's strengths which is coaching.
