But they have had to use their coaching. It's why they are known as two of the best coaches in our generation. It's why players laud their methods. Trying to rewrite history to change that to make Klopp seem better and unique is an utter fantasy. It's never been in doubt before, yet suddenly now?

Also to put things in perspective, the amount Liverpool have spent on players so far this window is similar to Chelsea and more than City, Tottenham and Arsenal. So it seems like this whole idea of Klopp being averse to spending money was made only in comparison to United ignoring the fact that Liverpool are spending quite a lot relative to other teams in the league so far.

As you said, Klopp is a shrewd guy who knows what to say and when to say it. Another manager who understands the media well.

For 'shrewd' read 'brutally honest.' And that's not fan opinion. There's not many if any who know him, or have been in the media around him, either here or in Germany, will tell you he's anything but. He says what he believes. Period.

But you have your own agenda on what you chose to believe here so moving on .....


I don't wish to step into the middle of anything, but I'm pretty sure the 'plazzi' comments from Tezzz, without wishing to speak for him, aren't personal. They're just general you being a Chelsea supporter and all.

So I wouldn't take them personally at all for what that's worth.

Klopp is more up front than most. But he knows what to say too.

Liverpool will spend less than City for sure. But it will still be a decent wedge.

As for the plastic comments, I really don't care what the reason are, but it ends here. He can

I thought the start of this debate was that Klopp doens't like to invest those huge numbers in a single player, with the risk of him getting injured. I might just be wrong and you guys can keep going on :)

Haha but honestly what are the chances of them getting a long-term injury that irreovocably wrecks their career? Thats a risk any club has to take no matter whats the transfer fee.

Reminds me of that pillock with his FACTS who thot that LFC didnt spend anything on players when while he was there they spent more than most including UTD.

Klopp is so effin lovable ill admit to my chagrin but this incessant hagiography is getting tiresome.

Hey now. Pillocks and their sheet waving 'facts' are acceptable and in vogue again since we got set straight on kids the other month.

Get with the new programme!

It is what it is man. No point getting bent outta' shape over it. Injury's happen. That's football.

Hopefully Karius' mere presence has jolted Mingolet to step up his game. He needs to if he wants to 1) keep his place beyond the opening 2 months, and 2) put himself in the shop window for next summer.

Social media's busy loosing it's **** like with 'Well that's the season well and truly ****** before it's even begun!' and other such codswallop.

It is what it is. That's football. Next man uo!

Yeah I mean he may cost you a few goals but he will even that out with some worldies he had no right to save, if LFC want to challenge they need to be better defensively irrespective of the ming

He's had the odd wonder save, but it nowhere near levels out with his blunders mate..
 
Mingolet is inconsistent and in some positions you can take that but goalkeeper is definitely not one of them
 
More from Klopp on the way he works and coaches. Or is it just him being weird again? Who knows?

Klopp: Why Liverpool didn't sign Manchester United new boy Mkhitaryan - Liverpool Echo

'I had that player,” Klopp said. “If you have had players, you know more about them. You want to learn about other players. That's how it is.
“I knew quite early that he was going this way (to Old Trafford). There was absolutely no reason for me to jump in there. That isn’t how we work.
“We didn’t look for players we had already worked with. If you do that, you know their good, their bad and you wonder whether you will do it again.
“It’s not boring but you know everything about each other so how can you develop? Where is the next step? Where is the next push for development?
