We were outthought, outfought and outplayed. We simply didn’t fancy the fight and Klopp looked clueless as to what might be done about it. We can forget any thoughts of a title challenge or even the minimum target of top four. Imo it’s going to be a fight to even make 6th this season, despite the fact that everybody above us is slipping up. We look like a side that might just finish in mid table. If this shyte is Klopp’s full throttle, heavy metal football, he can stick it up his [oops]*ing exhaust pipe! What can Klopp do if the players are a bunch of fairies and don't want to fight? Well it's pretty clear they aren't up for the fight, most of them don't even want to put their foot into a tackle, they don't take opponents on with the ball. They don't want to try and run in behind defenders. They don't often try to get to the bye line. Their passing is sloppy and often misses their target. Their first touch is so poor that you'd think you were watching school kids. I've seen posts saying that the side is improving!? Well you could've fooled me. If you we're manager under those circumstances wilkij, what would you do? If I was manager in that situation, I'd go out and buy the best players I could to suit what I wanted them to do. At least then I could be judged fairly with my own players not a bunch of left over fairies! But that's what the clubs recruitment policies prescribed, a bunch of young hopeful prospects. The policy is still in place, so you wouldn't be able to sign anything but more fairies, so would you resign, or just take the money?

How do you know it hasn't changed? They went for an experienced manager. One that is very highly thought of too so a change from the 'prospect' manager we had. It might just cross over to signings too?

Plus, not all young prospects will be fairies. I imagine Klopp will look for good players to suit his style instead of Rodgers trying to build a mini Barca.

And if Klopp's reported opening statements are anything to go by it won't! Ah well, maybe they're trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the market!!! Or heaven forbid us fans...again!

No one knows what's available funds wise. If it's £20m then as long as it's used wisely then I ain't going to complain.
I also don't think Klopp or any manager will come into a club and openly say he wants to buy loads of players and have a clear out, especially when there a good few months to the transfer window and the difficult January one at that. His comments about wanting to work with what we have are worrying but I don't really believe that he'd pass up on signing players given the chance.

Well they've all been fairies thus far, all 30 +, but I'd accept that FSG are hoping for a Messi or Ronaldo, same as you say. I'd agree maybe Klopp might get luckier than Rodgers, but if it's still prospects in quantity I'd be betting against it. After all a club doing the same thing 30 times and failing 30 times, would give decent odds at the bookies, I'd imagine.

They're only fairies as that's the type of player Rodgers bought. Coutinho, Firmino, Allen, Lallana, Alberto, Markovic etc. None of them are what you'd call a hard man. The only real exceptions were Benteke(?), Can(?) and maybe Mario(?). Question marks over all of them too.
Now if we look at this young Grujic fella, 6'2", looks strong, quick and looks like he could handle himself. That's not to say he won't be a dud aswell but at least it looks like a different kind of player.
