The Liverpool FC Thread XIV

I don't read the thread as much as I used to now but I think someone said something like 'outside of Coutinho and Sturridge' they wouldn't care who was replaced from the current squad... I'd say Henderson, Coutinho, Sturridge, Benteke, Sakho, Clyne, Firmino is the makings of a good squad. After that it's really about a manager's talent in getting the best out of lesser players. Klopp did win two titles with Schmelzer at LB and he's never been better than average, and eg from our squad Moreno probably has a higher ceiling too. Really we need a good ball playing CM in, we need to get Milner wide, and we need a proper centreback. We're good to go after that.

Lets be honest, it's by far the most likely outcome.
Don't want to get my hopes up too much just yet but it has been very probable for a while that Klopp was to be our next manager.

How do you feel about that if it happens?

You're next manager will have 2 days to prepare your team for the spurs. Really strange time.

FSG finally whipped. Good decision to give him his marching orders. No aspiring team would want an inexperienced manager who couldn't pick a talented footballer even if he was there right in front of his eyes.

With 3+ years and 300million greens, he had tangibly nothing to show for himself, or the team. His flashes of arrogance before having any taste of success disgusted me and I'm glad he is given the boot.

No owners in the Premier league would have tolerated rodgers for this long. He managed to waste funds quite comprehensively and consistently (lovren, Lallana, Ballo, Benteke (his philosophy was never based around a target man)) burnt bridges with colleagues (Reina, Agger, Sahin, Enrique) and even backstabbed his backroom staff (could be a far fetched claim)

He was way too inexperienced to handle a team like Liverpool and he probably will be for another 5 years. However, Klopp is also inexperienced and I don't really prefer him (though it looks like its the inevitable), but I hope by the power of the Gods, Simone will fly to Melwood for demanding the hot seat.

It's international break?

What happened to benteke? No one gives a **** about him anymore

**** me, still can't believe we paid that much for Lovren, up there with Andy Caroll in the history of worst transfers.

Klopp is also inexperienced

At least Lovren isn't your captain, guaranteed to start every game and earning £300k per week.



I hope you mean in English football because otherwise that's a very bizarre comment.

It's international break?

Rooney is going through a terrible patch though, he can get better, just needs to be taken out of the firing line for some time. Lovren is just bad no matter the form.

The Liverpool echo have narrowed the options down to Ancelotti, Klopp, Simeone, Mourinho and Villas-Boas

Well it's been inevitable for a while that Rodgers would go and Klopp or Ancelotti would replace him. As I said above, I don't think your squad needs too many additions to be contending for the top four. The new manager will inject some optimism into the club for the first time since Suarez left and that alone will make a massive difference.

Will be a shame as well because I like Klopp and i'm automatically programmed to hate anything associated with LFC.

Please appoint AVB. Please.
