It will be interesting to see if FSG give Klopp any money in Jan and if so how much. And it will be interesting to see what he can do with it and if he has the midas touch. He got Lewandowksi, Reus and Hummels each for less than £5million.............that aint too shabby.............but he may have stinker buys too i'm not aware of

I'm wondering if he'll bring back any of the players out on loan, in particular Markovic.

 

I can't say I saw much to impress me with Markovic, but then again I don't feel he got much of a chance for someone who'd developed a good rep over the previous seasons elsewhere and was a stonking £20M.

 

(just looked on wiki and it says it's a season's loan, so I'm not sure if they'd be able to call him back).

Listening to Talksport yesterday, they had their German football reporter on talking about Klopp and what Liverpool can expect - and he kept making the point that Klopp was never that involved with the transfers that took place at Dortmund. He obviously had a say but the reporter kept making the point that he left the job of finding players to his scouting team and just trusted what they brought him - for example Kagawa was plucked from the Japanese 2nd division - of which I doubt Klopp spends much time watching.

 

Will be interesting how many backroom changes are made and whether he goes with the same approach.

I think Klopp will try things out first so I don't really expect the first few games to be as much as what others will think they're. Every team right now is having problems and we still have different cup games to play so this was the best time to get Klopp in ( if Rodgers was still in we probably would of been out of those cups lol )

Klopp is a coach. Never signed a player in his life.

Blatter, Platini, and Valcke now all suspended on corruption charges. About time...

Will be interesting to see who takes over, all potential candidates seem to be in trouble.

don't worry, I'm sure one of the corrupt will still be in charge.

[Chris Lfc]

So he's signed the deal, how odd is it that the metro known this quite beforehand lol

The Metro have to get something right some day I guess.

 

Excellent appointment for Liverpool, looking forward to seeing Klopp manage in the Prem. Think with the others underperforming a bit (bar City I suppose) it could make the 'battle for CL football' interesting.

AT FUCKING LAST.

It's a 50/50 chance I guess but the team isn't as bad as what people say it is, I think with the right formation and squad selection along with good transfers in January we could be contenders for the top 4. Or it could take him a lot longer to adapt and it will take us another season, but lets see.

Jurgen Klopp strikes me as the sort who will definitely have a spectacular breakdown at a press conference. Looking forward to it already. Plus, he might actually do a decent job with them.

[Chris Lfc]

Atleast he will be more aggressive performance wise than Rodgers, even when we lost a game by over 2 goals EVERY SINGLE TIME it was just "oh we was good we can do better" "we showed great character" he never said "we did bad we need to improve in this" Van gaal and mourinho spoke their minds and when their team does bad they actually mention it, but with Rodgers it was all positive even a heavy loss.

[DomDom1984]

James Forrest shouldn't be getting picked for Scotland at all, but now it appears we're putting him in the starting XI. He's an absolute shambles of a winger, and I can only assume he has files on each of his managers who are both blind to the fact that he's absolutely shit.

True source!

Let you off with that one haha.

So klopp has now gone officially shit....

there's absolutely no way that FSG would have sat around thinking "we'll sack rodgers in a couple of weeks, but we won't do anything about his replacement until after we've sacked him".

That Metro story just looked too-true as soon as Rodgers had been sacked.

I'm not a fan of Forrest but he's not been that bad anytime I've seen him this season, although he's not done enough to deserve a start. I get that we need pace out wide but I'd rather have Johnny Russell playing than Forrest. 

 

Harsh on McArthur being dropped too given he's arguably one of our better players.

From what I have seen of him he has fun with the press and takes the piss out of them............but maybe I only saw him when he was winning

Looking at klopps record, one thing that Liverpool will need is patience.

[Gucci Piggy]

Really like Klopp; now I definitely hope Chelsea continue to fuck up and Liverpool get top 4.

Getting top 4 ahead of United will 've fine, as well.

most peeps would say the players are under-performing anyway, and there's often a decent bounce from a new manager. That might be all they need to get going.
