Cannot believe I'm reading posts questioning Klopp. And I see Ed002 has immediately taken to stirring with replies.

Think some need to take a breath. Two seasons ago we almost won the league. The only reason was a front line of Sturridge, Suarez (main reason) and Sterling. Also Gerrard was still towards the top of his game. We all knew at the time the rest of the squad was between poor and average. We still have that poor GK without competition. We still have a poor defence without a decent LB or a commanding CB. We still have an average midfield. And until a few months into this season we still had a poor manager.

We lost those four players and the clubs recruits haven't been good enough, we all knew Benteke was a good player who could be a handful, but never suited our style.

Klopp has come in during a season, with these players, he has in 3-4 months had a huge amount of injuries, sorry but these athletes must have had it a bit easy if a step up in gear causes break down. No striker for how long and we can see Benteke isn't a solution. He has got us to a cup final, we are still in two others.

He is not a miracle worker, but he has done really well with what he has. Give him time.

Totally agree Max. Good post mate.

Good points Max and January Transfer Windows are usually mild anyway. Klopp will put us a team on the park given time and I expect some serious moves in the summer. I like big Forster over at Southampton (biased as I am a Celtic fan as well)

Pretty shocking alright. I just had to stop reading.
Sure, sack Klopp because of a poor run of form. As you and he said from the start, he's not a miracle worker. He can't be judged until after his first full season with some of his own chosen players.

I mean, when you've got Lallana and Milner as your attacking so called creative midfielders, you can't make shinola outta turd. Messi and Neymar they ain't. Now I know people will say, well Klopp picked those players, but it's not like we have SIlva and De Bruyne on the bench. Or even Hazard and Sanchez.

Anyway, chance creation, goal scoring and resuls will improve as players return to fitness. In the meantime though, I do think it's past time to give Teixeira a start and Allen also.

So when does he need to start producing consecutive results? In 2 seasons time? So we give klopp the prestige of getting us to a cup final but blame Rodgers for the squad that klopp has to deal with in the PL. That on its self is a double standard.

{Ed001's Note - how is it? Klopp took over midseason, he has to be given a full season to be judged. If anyone is clueless enough to think that Bodgers could have got these same players to a cup final, then they shouldn't be allowed online, as they clearly do not have the brain capacity required for intelligent thought.}

Jurgen

I would have actually given Ojo or Kent a run in. Proper wingers they are. they possess the proper insinct of Wingers, They have pace and Leicester are blessed with poor full backs on both the sides.
There is no point in playing your CM on the flanks mate.

Once he's had a chance to shift the rubbish and build his own team of course. Actually, your post makes no sense whyscouse. We give him the prestige? Well, he earned it by getting to a cup final. Something Rodgers couldn't even manage against Aston Villa. And we blame Rodgers for the squad that Klopp inherited? Well, yes. Who else should be blamed? He built the thing. He bought these players. My head hurts from trying to understand your nonsense. Think I'll stop now.

atleast Klopp is not sugar coating it. he doesn't like what his team is giving him. and that tells you what is going to happen in summer.

Well yes, I know what you mean Transition. I mentioned Teixeira because he could play as an inside left and has more creativity in his big toe than Milner has in his whole huff and puff body. Having zero senior wide players, well we can thank Bodgers for that one. Genius.

Klopp will be moving on at least 12-13 players this summer, of that i'm 100%sure. U can tell by his body language how frustrated and angry he is with our players' lack of talent and footballing brain. I will get a lot of abuse especially from Ed002 about this, but the cold hard truth is that our squad has more deadwood than quality, and that my friends is a recipe for disaster. I could do what Milner and Lallana do on the pitch better because all they do is run around like headless chickens and put aimless crosses into the box.
Out of a squad of around 40 senior players, i would only keep around 10-12 of them and just ship out the rest. Even God would not deliver us top4 with this mediocrity. Whether fellow LFC fans like it or not, a long transition period is around the corner, but Klopp gives me hope that we will come through better and stronger from that.
