KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum I've made my judgement on Klopp already

Fantastic motivator, gets the last drop out of every player. I actually think Klopp and FSG are a really good fit. I like how he wants to build a team of 11 rather than building a team around a couple of individuals. Fans love him, really good brand of football when we play well. He is a specialist in developing teams with modest resources.

My only problem I have is how far can we go with limited resources (FSG). This is the Prem not the Bundesliga after all , and we have got Utd and City with vast resources and great tacticians in Guardiola and Mourinho. Klopp I believe is the best manager in the world to work on the resources we have and compete right at the top of the table.

The only question I have left is can Klopp make up for the gap in resources between the top teams and be able to compete with the master tacticians such as Mourinho and Guardiola on a consistent basis?

I fear the only we can truly compete is with more resources and a master tactician like our rivals, but you just never know.

Er... why have you started this thread when we already have one for 'Klopp the Man'? That seems an appropriate thread to discuss everything Klopp and you've already contributed there accordingly?

Well he has already performed exactly the same task in Germany by overcoming a team with much larger resources in Bayern Munich, so surely he is the man for the job. What other manager can you suggest who has done the same? The only others I can think of are Rafa and Ranieri. Would you suggest one of these?

Granted it is more difficult in the Premier league as there are three clubs who will spend their way out of any problems rather than one in Germany, however I think he is the perfect manager for us at this time and I can't think of another manager who would have a better chance of bringing back trophies. He's already come close to two in just a few months with what was a struggling team.

Ah..er..I have a hazy memory of two previous managers working under FSG restrictions who not only got us to cup finals but actually won one each...ahem...

Er ahem, with players THEY bought not inherited.

Excuses, excuses always excuses.

I'll wait 3 years before I judge Klopp. Building something takes patience. I've been waiting since 1991 so no rush now. Unfortunately as a club we can't fix everything in one or two windows.

the disappointing thing is that after almost a year and two transfer windows, we don't seem to have fixed anything.

we still have Migs; the defence is shaky and unsettled as ever; the midfield is nothing to shout about; our best striker seems unsettled. overall, we're not yet a united force pulling in the same direction given the issues around Sturridge and Sakho.

The only things we have are Klopp's personality and the team's ability to produce some scintillating performances from time to time.

To be honest with you Mighty we are only three games in so I think it's too early to be saying those things. Remember mate we have played 3 away games and two of those against teams who ended 2nd and 3rd last season. The Burnley game admittedly was frustrating but in this league that'll happen. I just hope as a fan base we show the patience required to let Klopp build us something here.

I haven't written the season off Kano. Also, how can it be too early to state things that are facts? we do still have Migs; no one will dispute that the defence is unsettled; same with the situations relating to Sturridge, Sakho and our midfield. We don't even have full faith in our captain's playing or leadership qualities.

That doesn't mean we won't support the team of course. We'll continue to back Klopp and the team and hope for the best.
