Okay Mr. Manager.

How can you forget Abbas Saad.

At least Owen has played in top flight football. Although he says the dumbest thing.

“What a shot! That’s completely unstoppable, but the keeper’s got to do better for me.”

To be very frank, the discussion in this thread is much more comprehensive despite the salt and disagreement in many different things.

Some other football threads all have 1 liners like it is /k. With that, I'm very proud to say that Liverpool fans have much more substance

Sorry, I don't know much football but I heard it is borderline illegal to backpass.

Fabinho was nowhere to be seen after his yellow card. He became too careful and don't dare to commit. That's what my POV and Klopp didn't replace him because there was no one at all available to do that with both Keita and Headlesson out.

I think we did well and were really unlucky with VVD's chances and the disallowed goal. Time to move on. We can't afford to drop points to non-top 4 teams.

Damn, must be Henderson's backpass.

A good win although Fulham looked very lifeless to be honest.

The other 2 draws are also fairly important.

Memory issue?

Do you remember the team Rafa took over from Gerard Houllier? Rafa finished 2nd on his 4th season, consistently challenging Chelsea with Abrahamovic's money. Won Champions League followed by FA Cup the following season.

Do you remember the team BR took over from Kenny Dalglish/Roy Hogdson? BR actually challenged for title on his 2nd season.

If you analyze deeper, we have always lost out to Man Utd - and I cannot fault any of our managers except Graeme Souness for this because SAF was the elite manager. Then there was Chelsea spending like nobody's business and we had cowboys like Tom Hicks and partner. It went downhill with the appointment of Roy followed by Kenny.

BR gave us a breath of fresh air and hope with the run in 13/14 season. He brought in Coutinho, kept Suarez for another season, and brought in Sturridge. We have not always been a high spending club.

Klopp is a very good manager but he also gets to spend this much because we have sold Suarez and Coutinho both on very high profit. I'm glad he bought the right players in and the team is gelling well. Still, the reality is we are not spending like Man City because we don't have the money. That's the fact. We need a lot of luck to win without money. The crazy run by Leicester happens like once every 20 years with Blackburn winning in 94/95.

Rafa was challenging for silverware almost every season and his specialty is always with the cup.

04/05 - Champions League Winner
05/06 - FA Cup Winner & UEFA Super Cup (if that matters)
06/07 - Champions League finalist
07/08 - Champions League Semifinal - most underwhelming season
08/09 - 2nd place in Premier League - pretty close run
09/10 - the ultimate downfall

All these under the shit administration of Tom Hicks and George Gillet.

15/16 - League Cup finalist, Europa League Finalist, and 8th place league finish.
16/17 - Round 4 FA Cup, 4th place league. Semi Final League Cup
17/18 - Champions League finalist, 4th place league, early exit in domestic cups.

The best players he had was Gerrard, Carragher, Hyypia. He had minimal and slow rebuild with Alonso, Garcia, Reina and co. Klopp came in with a much better starting 11 and a better owner.

I'm not knighting Rafa or dissing Klopp. I just don't know how you came up with Rafa was not consistent in challenging silverware even more so less than Klopp when you can actually see, Klopp is behind in the 1st 3 seasons. Just because he had a crap final season doesn't mean that is all we should remember him by. Rafa did more with less and I hope Klopp can do much better with this much resources available to him.

Have you forgotten about the team sheet of Man Utd, Arsenal, and Chelsea around 2007?

Thanks for sharing. People seem to remember downfall more. Rafa has always been awkward with interviews and never really had the charm or energy like Klopp. Sure Klopp gives hugs to everyone and celebrates the goals while Rafa rarely celebrate. Probably that's why stickmancheong thinks Klopp is more consistent because of the hype and the energy Klopp brings.

Coz got people keep bashing him in here so he frustrated. haha.

I thought it was a decent win. A shaky 1st half but they came in big 2nd half and ended the game on a high. Superb free kick, excellent counter attack goal.

Ugly win is maybe last minute penalty or tap in 1-0 win.

I understand where you are coming from. But realistically, there will be up and down for performance. We have a huge team and many new players.

Maybe just me but I dont expect every player to play at 8/10 and gel like super glue every game.

Do you blame the player for his playstyle, or do you blame the coach for picking that player and losing the game?

we beat Ancelottis AC Milan in 2005.

Cool guys don't look at explosions. He already knew where it was going and what is going to happen.

I notice that gergen pressing style is less aggressive this season. I think it is to balance both balance and attack and this might have nullify Firmino a little as he is the Kuyt type of player but with better technique and skill. Tireless and continuous pressing.

This is probably why he wasn't as effective as last season, but he is still the best forward we have although this system works well for more traditional strikers like Sturridge.

Origi was very impressive coming on albeit that hair. His pace was amazing, knocking the ball and shrugging off the defender and that accurate cross to Mane was so good. This guy and Solanke is for the future after Sturridge and Firmino.

I think so. Kind of disrespect for the other team and manager. Imagine Mourinho doing that, you'd be pissed too.

He did apologize during his post match conference.
