ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[Khalekan]

You norf cocker knee boys will have just about all footie fans bar the deludoid RS behind you next week, urging Spurs to do them big time and hopefully quell some of this incessant, boring and frankly offensive RS dominated media mania.

Can you imagine Anfield a fortnight from today, Block?

When Saints come a' calling?

It will be like the Nuremburg rally.

FAT VILLAS BOAS!! YOU'RE JUST A FAT VILLAS BOAS!! FAT VILLAS BOOOAASS! YOU'RE JUST A FAT VILLAS BOOAASS!!

Sick of hearing kopites go on about the high pressing game.

High press us and get completely destroyed on the counter attack.

Surely they're using the word gegenpress now?

One of the comments that kept recurring this week from kopites and their media slaves: "Liverpool fans deserve success".

It's stated without any sort of comeback on it either. Any decent media employee would stop them in their tracks and ask why on earth they 'deserve success'. They deserve to be extinct given their history of carnage.

I can honestly say that his personality has always come across to me as a bit desperate. I can see how Kopites would want him. He's animated and a corn ball statement machine that never clocks off.

The manic touchline manager stuff has always had me cringeing. There seems to be a lot of it amongst managers in the Bundesliga. Just watch his successor there at Dortmund, Tuchel, he's exactly the same, and all the other managers seem a bit OTT compared with most PL managers. Maybe it's a cultural thing, but it's an unappealing trait and people over here will tire of Klopp very quickly. He's just Tony Pulis with a smile.

I don't know, there's a sincerity about him that I like, as if his corniness isn't a hollow facade in the same way as Fraudgers. Like he really is that sentimental.

My main concern stems from the Celta Vigo/Barca match I watched about two weeks back. You wouldn't have recognised Iago Aspas from the one that was at Liverpool, who was practically a posterboy for the failings of their "moneyball" system. He was quick, direct, purposeful and scored two great goals. It got me wondering. What if Liverpool have been buying good players all along, we just haven't been able to tell due to the cack-handed mismanagement of an uninspiring fraud who had no idea what he was doing? Klopp, if anything, will instill a work-rate that will, at the very least, liven up a team that has looked chronically flat for over a year.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's the end of the world, and I don't think they'll win the league or anything, but this manager will improve them. Enough reason to hope that he doesn't get any momentum and the dogs turn on him at the earliest opportunity as is their m.o.

Aye, the pukeworthy entitlement of them never ceases to astound, they have an almost fascist-like grip on major media channels.

I hate all that. No team 'deserves success', especially not that lot.

The most self entitled fanbase in the world.

If any decent manager (which Klopp is) is given £300M over three seasons then they'll land a trophy. It wont be the PL title, but a domestic cup/EL.

I fully expect a turnaround of sorts, because there's only one way to go there - up. I just dont see him having anything like the impact on English football that he had in Germany. Having watched about 6 seasons of the Bundesliga on the bounce avidly I see a league that's pretty lame in many areas. There's great GKs sure, but they have to be because the standard of defending is atrocious. It's a league that's not that competitive, despite the claims otherwise. I could comfortably say that beyond Bayern and maybe Wolfsburg at the minute the rest of them would be demolished week in week out over here apart from maybe when playing a Newcastle or Sunderland in their current form.

Klopp's biggest plus point was his CL run a couple of seasons back. But I think they caught a Real Madrid side that were arrogant and not doing their job in the tie they had with them. Bayern Munich always looked the superior team in the final. It was close scoreline wise, but Bayern were far and away the better team.

After all they've done 'for the good of the English game, home & abroad'????? With all their 'history' ?????

Think that entitles them to do as they like mate.

Never stopped them before, like

A good point well made.

We should insist they take Barkley and Stones for free for the sake of England and the Premier League.

If Klippitty starts all his press conferences speaking in a barely audible manner and gradually increases the volume, and then starts arm waving and clench fist pounding of his other hand, then images of Nuremburg will indeed be justified.

 

[Khalekan]

The Kloppites are setting themselves up for the biggest fall since Humpty Dumpty was pushed.

Why on earth would they deserve success any more than any other PL team...

...Theres absolutely no reason what so ever.
