We only had one good attacker. Vinicius became a great player when he left. Would not call it a massive failure. He won a league title.

What about Eibar?

You don’t sack managers like Klopp or Pep, they sack you

Didn't everyone think the same about Arsene Wenger?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He was sacked after years of mediocrity, not a bad run or even a season.

Years of mediocrity, falling out with sections of the fans for extended periods of time, poor transfers, lack of CL, stagnating methods and staff appointments, couldn’t win a game away from home…it was time to go sadly.

Yeah, you really went forward when you sacked him.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Did I say we went forward or did I just list some of the reasons why he left (because he wasn’t sacked).

I don't think Tuchel will last till next summer at Bayern, so I fully expect Alonso to join Bayern.

Pep doesn't rly have a reason to leave City. Only other team where he'd get the same resources is PSG and it's a shitshow of a club in a much weaker league. Unless he gets bored and goes back to Barca I don't rly see him leaving. Maybe to Italy if Klopp somehow ends up there or an NT.

Their improvement last season was due to many factors, not just Alonso. I think he'll be a good one but let's just chill. He hasn't proven much yet.

Same as gerrard. Gerrard was winning SPl without losing a match.

Last season watched his team when roma played against Bayer laverkusen.

They struggled to get a shot on target in almost 200 minutes of football. He had no clue to how to do things differently. And that was a roma team without 6-7 first teams players.

Mourinho outtacticed him

At this point it's all but confirmed Xabi will be our next manager, right? godspeed, hopefully florentino supports him and sign the players he wants/needs to succeed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I want to believe

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I honestly hope Pep Lijnders takes over for Klopp when Klopp leaves. He’s earned it and would be the perfect person to carry on the good work Klopp started and maintain the continuity and clarity in purpose, team building, and man management already in place, but he’d also bring a fresh energy and some new ideas.

I really do think that management transition at Liverpool could parallel that if the switch from Bill Shankly to Bob Paisley, if not in exact trophy count but at least in sustained success season over season.

But if not Pep Lijnders, then Xabi Alonso is my very next preferred choice to take over after Klopp.

I doubt he will become manager of liverpool next summer

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't think you guys have it in you to sack him. And that's understandable. So Klopp is Liverpool manager until he decides he no longer is

Fucking hell. We are rotating Carlo and Zizou since 2013 like there's no other manager. I love Zizou and would love to have him back but it'd be a nice change if we get someone else.

Winner decides the correct spelling of their name for the next year 🤣

Arsenal v Real Madrid next year will be battle of the immaculate hairlines

Unless Real has a stroke, it's a no brainer for them.

Unless Zidane.

Didn't he just retire. I won't know for sure. I'd rather call it retirement ?

Pep is just high maintenance tbh

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You should know by now that Madrid players respond well to respected (club) legends, and not to professor type coaches who have never won anything substantial.

They will leave together, walking into the sunset holding hands

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

He has yet to coach a full season and still drastically improved a struggling Leverkusen side. If that ain't worth the hype, what is?
