Nonsense. Klopp has only been here for a few months and hasn't spent any money yet so gets away with it for the moment. However, if he continues to back the likes of Mignolet over the next season or so without any improvement in performances and results then he too will start to feel the heat.

One thing that he doesn't do though, unlike Rodgers, is spout BS. This will earn him more time but at the end of the day, he too will be judged against his transfer activity, performances and results. So far it's not looking too good.


I still do not understand why we did not reinforce in Jan. It's looks clear to me that Klopp has been given time to only experiment this season

If people are assuming everything's the same, then as Brendan apparently wasted £300m, then equally Klopp should be responsible for any inactivity.

No we weren't, Rodgers' first season at LFC was pretty poor and only picked up after the January transfer window when Sturridge and Coutinho were recruited. We finished 7th if I remember correctly and were knocked out of the FA Cup by Oldham and the League Cup at home to Swansea.

He also inherited a squad which included Reina, Agger, Gerrard and Suarez, Klopp has inherited Mignolet, Lovren, Lallana and Benteke.

The above are facts, the club was in a much better position when Rodgers took over than it was when Klopp took over despite £300mil investment.

i would partly put that to BR himself... who the ffuck among the established players/superstars would like to play for him? im sure not many would sign thinking Rodgers who

Inactivity means, nothing spent with a delta of 300m, how can that be equal? After Your Brendan, there's no money left most probably

The problem is CJ that FSG aren't good enough and we can't move on from them. Rogers wasn't good enough, I question his integrity and he was quite happy to toe the line and compromise it, but they are as much to blame and most of it stems from a disastrous transfer policy that continues to dog the club even now with the ripples having ruined this season unless Sturridge can salvage something for us in the run in.

Whilst I think Klopp is a better manager and has reference points in his success to draw from, which Rogers didn't when situations arise on the field, the fact that he hasn't been able to get this lot to improve with any significant consistency (injuries duly noted) probably points to BR being a fair coach. Certainly far from the worst.

It's gone full circle for me now, where I once would have cheered at the news of Marquee signings now not only fills me with dread as they haven't worked out in 90% of cases under FSG, I am hoping we can get some tenacious, talented and honest guys in under Klopp and try and get a bit of the soul/identity back at Liverpool. Other lesser teams have lead the way this season with that ethos so why can't we?

As things stand I am becoming more and more switched off from this rubbish and it's just a horrible muddled mess at the moment.
