KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Klopp: In or Out?

When UTD didn't have the flair last season, Mourinho made them difficult to beat and grinded out results, we need to take this approach atm, as we don't have a strong defense, I just don't see Klopp changing his view/tactics, he has 1 way of playing, win or lose.....

i hope so

i kinda agree. we can do that with TAA,Klavan,Gomez n the likes. or even get academy players to put a shift in

Mourinho appreciates the defensive side of the game and is more than happy to shut up shop when needed. If Utd had gone down to 10 men at City like we did, there is absolutely no way they'd have lost 5-0.

Like you rightly say Klopp doesn't have it in him to change things. There is so much pressure on our attack to win us games and we aren't going to be able to score 3 or 4 every week.

give me one name who would literally throw his head at everything like that fooker Felliani does. do we have any such midfielder? who do we rely on to do dirty work? none of our lot can do that

I can name you plenty of players like that, none that play for Liverpool though.

exactly so we cant expect any miracles

I dont think Klopp didnt realise there is problem in our defence.

Have he ignored it? No, he tried to sort it out by signing VVD but he just failed.

There are a lot of areas that we need to be strengthened this summer. Peopele said we are doing okay offensively but all of them ignore two facts:-

1/ we are lack of squad depth (Klopp fixed it by bringing in Salah, Ox & Robertson. Milner can move back to Midfield now. Look at our squad, we have a much thicker squad now)
2/ We dont have clue when facing teams that parking bus against us. We signed Solanke who is a tall striker that good at header. He can definiely be a force when facing small team that park bus against us.

Defence is just one of the problems we need to be sorted out. But if you look at the way that Klopp works, you know that he wont rush to do business and try to fix everything now. (TBH, I dont think we can as it is hard to fix all the problems we had. We are way too behind from the top in the recent years.)

Klopp believes it is a project that is on-going in Liverpool. That's why he signed Keita next year. However, we dont have unlimited transfer fund to spend like Citeh and Scum. He must spend carefully and wisely.

He isnt blind and he knows there are problems with our centre back. He will fix it but you cannot expect him to fix everythings in just three transfer windows.

Everyone said Michael Keane and Davinson Sanchez are good in the summer and said we should go for them. Look, they are in EPL now and they proved that they are quite average (Tbh, I would say awful). Spending a lot to go for average players may actually ruin our project.

Without getting the players he wanted, Klopp can only lift the morale of the current centre back. Everyone is blaming to our defence now which put a lot pressure to Lovern and Klavan. To be honest, they are not world class defenders, but they are actually not that bad (at least would not be as bad as the performance showing in this season). Klopp is now protecting his players from critisim and tried to relieve their pressure. Once pressure is gone, their performance will greatly improved.


I would choose to shut up and believe in Klopp and see what we could get in January or next summer.

@Liverotto

Allardyce, Benitez, Mourinho, all fix their defences in weeks. They didn't require years to organise a defence. We choose to believe in Klopp right now because he deserves this season at least, but there is no way we are going to keep quiet after seeing 3 dismal back to back performances (city,sevilla, burnley), and honestly if the players can't handle pressure then they need to examine their choice to become a professional footballer. The best teams all thrive under pressure when the odds are against them.

Well said Angry Asian. I like your style man. Fookin-A!
