Voted as expected as the team has over performed every now and then reaching a cup final and we are still in the Europa league. I don't think this team with argueably only one top player could have reached so far in the Europa league for example. The team is the weakest ever I can think of, we usually at least had a couple of top players.

That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

there does seem to be a bit of unhealthy bias towards Klopp in my opinion, I was no fan of Rodgers but Klopp has not done much to improve us in my opinion. I think before people start with he's only been here 5 mins or wait and judge when his own players are in or even Its not his fault the players are so poor, I would just like to clear a few things up. Firstly yes he has been here a short time and has missed a full pre season but we still should be better than what we are League and performance wise, secondly yes he needs to be judged when he brings in his own players and this for me is where he will sink or swim, he needs to have some really good judgement because for me he can't get a tune out of modest and ordinary players, this season has proved that, the third one for me is the players are not top quality, we all know that but they are certainly not poor or relegation fodder players, we have a defensive centre half partnership which cost just shy of 40 million pound alone 70 million pound forward line and a midfield costing just under 90 million pound so that's not too shabby at all. Klopp does need to up his game as flashing his Brendan style teeth and ruffling his hair in front of the camera won't save him, he will get three transfer windows which is ample time for me...

On average may be slightly better than Rodgers but very up and down. We didn't have that bounce at the start but there has been a gradual improvement since Klopp first took over.

It's not bias, it's confidence in the manager to come good and build something like he did with Dortmund. Something very few had with Brendan as he'd achieved nothing previously.

There is a bias, a foreign big name manager is going to be more popular among most fans than say Rodgers.

That might well be right but the poll was how he had done so far

No, the fact that old pearly whites wasted £300m, whilst Klopp has spent diddly squat and already got us to a final may have a bearing.

I voted as expected. He needs to learn this league and in an upside down season he hasn't done too bad. He will be judged on the players he brings in and so far we haven't seen that.

The performances have been a bit in and out but there is still an opportunity to win a trophy and if he pulls that off he will be a hero.

I know fans of other teams who are telling me that they fear what we will do next season because of how good we will be once he has his own players on board. He has shown how to wipe the floor with Man City and Chelsea but also how to drop points v the likes of Newcastle, Watford and Sunderland. This with the players left behind by Rodgers.

I wonder where we would be without the Europa League campaign and perhaps we might have fared better against Southampton but this guy has the tools in his box to beat Dortmund. After that result on Sunday it is perhaps time to put all the eggs in one basket.

It is good to see how he has not brought in new players and has therefore not made a rod for his own back. Next season will be different but he knows that and is certainly nobody's fool.
