"And should this Liverpool squad, find some success under klopp (this season), I'll kick that someone ass if he/she (fan in forum) says it's because of the predecessors players"
Same could be said about rafa when he first arrrived. His english wasnt all that fluent at first but that didnt stop us getting to Istanbul. Klopp's english is a lot better in comparison imo.
Rafa isn't exactly someone I would associate with motivational or passionate. He is cold. He is someone who would rather spend the time talking about tactics than firing up the team.
Motivational teamtalks are more important to Klopp than it is to Rafa. That said, Rodgers speaks perfect English with lots of fancy superlatives but hasn't done quite well himself.

That's why he had Sammy lee for to bridge that language or exude motivational pep talk.

Fair enough and i take your point. Honestly i wouldnt worry too much about it. He has good basic command of the language and being in england will help him improve his english along the way.
Which is why I hope for the return of big Didi. German and honorary Scouser. Who better to bridge the gap?
Ahh yes, him too. Well, as I added earlier, someone, ex player, close to the inner walls of Liverpool. But I still pick carra ahead of anyone because I think if there is any complimentary to Juergens confident and fiery personality, it would be carra I feel
not sure why ppl going anal over his supposed lack of his spoken English, as its still better than easily 80% of locals here. can tell from his 1st interview already that he wont have any problems motivating the players with his infectious character... damn there's that word again...

Oh please not Carra! Jurgen wouldn't be able to understand his extremely thick Scouse accent.

going anal? If instead of continuously complimenting on how perfect he is instead of pointing out just that one slight area I think he is currently lacking and needs working on is going anal then yeah sure.
being able to speak slowly and calmly in a press interview is much different than in a dressing room in the heat of the moment trying to find the right blend of words to motivate the players.
i'm loving Klopp but i'm not gonna pretend that he is the miracle to win us a quadruple in the 1st season. he will need to adapt to us as much as our squad has to adapt to him is what i'm saying. mastering the language is part of the adaptation.

Half the world couldn't understand fergie's bark when he is mad. It didn't stop him from getting the message across 😁
I'm not worried about Klopp supposedly weak English oral skills. Those eyes of his can do the talking
Hand gestures. Hey Thierry Henry, Neville, and millions of football fans watching them can understand carra 😆😆😆 on tv still.
Sammy Lee doesnt converse with queens English 😉 But the all understand 🍻🍻🍻🍻 Esp in carra pub!
Millions? Hahaha not quite sure about that. Everytime I'm watching a clip of Carra on MNF on Youtube I would see comments of how even the Englishmen themselves couldn't comprehend what Carra is saying.
And isn't there a running joke somewhere on the net I've read recently of how Carra's own teammates at the England camp struggles to understand what he is saying sometimes.

His scouse accent have actually toned down a lot since he first started being a pundit.
Edit: I wonder if Sterling and Gerrard regret their decisions now
Gerrard probably.
Pound Sterling is happily swimming in his weekly wages, what regrets? He'd be lucky to stay in this Man City team for 5 seasons. Next big thing in English football my arse, we will see.
