It is a strange situation. Klopp hasn't actually been successful, but people have given him a sort of messianic status, as though all will come good because he is in charge. only time will tell. He certainly has the pedigree, but he is in a whole new world right now.

When you say hasn't actually been successful, what do you mean?

He hasn't won league titles or cups? He hasn't taken a team to record breaking points totals or winning streaks?

Or are you saying he hasn't won anything in three months of taking charge part way through a season, so that means he's unsuccessful?

Which is it?

Come on. With the injuries we have had i am sure pretty much any manager would be struggling. 3 out of 4 strikers injured and the 4th in shocking form. Our most creative player out injured. Constant injuries to our main CB's. He is working with one hand tied behind his back.

Not to mention Henderson had been out for months, all our centre halves been out been out for good periods, in a way these injuries might be a blessing in disguise as most of the squad have been getting chances to prove themselves, so when summer comes klopp should be able to see who to keep and get rid of.

It's neither Max and you're being obtuse. Success is the accomplishment of a goal. The goal of improving the teams performance had yet to be realised.

Have we actually fielded our full strength first team for any games at all this season? I would like to see a fully fit Firminio, Coutinho and Sturridge up top for a start.

Nobody is saying he has been successful so people should stop talking crap. He has improved us already but he himself will tell you that he isn't satisfied and neither should anyone else at the club. He has been handed a crap burger by BR and is making do with it and nobody should dare say we would have had the few great results, topped the EL group and made the CC final with the morose performance s under BR before he was sacked because that is a white lie. We have been poor in games and very good in games and that is normal in a roller coaster season. Many fans are just happy he's here and some of our players are improving while others are not and come this summer, he will have his chance to fully assess the players. Oh n btw if he beat City and win the CC, he would be a success and his detractors will have to get over it.

i remember when Benitez took charge, having ousted two financial powerhouses too the title with Valencia. i'm a fan of the odd ball from Spain, but it seems Klopp arrives with a similar mission statement and a similar pedigree. (i also believe Benteiz would have won the league if he had our current owners, maybe this one is for another discussion? )

im not comparing the two men, just circumstance. but who knows what Klopp will achieve. Time will tell. This season, appears, to me, to not be the one to tell us. but i believe next year to be better. (as i always do. )

Peace. x.
