Super bored at work so thought I would see if the Ed's or any readers wanted to answer any of the following.

1) since taking over how do you think Peter Moore has done? Whether that is commercially, how he has done in transfer dealings, or anything else.

2) There seems to be a good amount of Klopp to Bayern rumours starting. Do you think this is purely just lazy journalism, where Bayern need a new coach and Klopp is the logical choice in a perfect world. Or do you think there is a legitimate chance that Bayern will make a serious attempt to pry him away?

3) I read a funny post somewhere yesterday. Pep coached in Spain, Spain won the world cup. Pep coached in Germany, Germany won the world cup. Pep is coaching in England, England to win the world cup? . my question is what do you think is more probable, England winning the world cup or Liverpool winning the Champions league this season?

4) How do you think Gerrard has done so far in management. Purely looking at the results he seems to be doing a fine job. However at that age results are far less important than development. How do you think Stevie has done with improving his players and creating opportunities for then to learn.

Thanks for reading and replying if you do. anything to make the day go faster right.

Peter moore probably needs more time to be judged.

Lazy journalism I feel plus I would hope Klopp feels he is buidling somehting with us. If he wants the Bayern job think there may be other oppurtunities to go there in the future.

Liverpool more likely 1 in 8 chance vs England 1 in 32 ;)
In all seriousness at Barcelona the team had a good majority of the spanish team and the same for Bayern and Germany. Unfortunately there are few English players at City so doubt that trend or his impact will be felt.

As for Gerrard results don't matter at that age as such the main thing is developing players which will take a while to judge.

1) too early to judge

2) it is less lazy journalism, and more stupid comments made by Klopp's agent basically admitting he doesn't think English football is good for his health, and that Bayern is a good fit for Klopp. Ed002 made us aware of this a while ago though so it is nothing new.

3) Liverpool. No team with Pickford, Maguire, Dier, Wilshere and Vardy in it will go very far. Too many average players for international level.

4) too early to judge.

{Ed001's Note - his agent also said he was aware Klopp was not considering going anywhere yet and would not be going to Bayern.}

Dier is alright to be fair. Don't mind him playing the holding role. Agree on Maguire and Wilshere though.

Yeah, should've made that clearer Ed. When I say it is nothing new, I was trying to convey that it is nothing worth worrying about.

I have no standing when it comes to inside knowledge so only have instinct to go on but I do not see Klopp leaving liverpool unless sacked or he has won everything and needs a 'new challenge'. I much less envisage him going to bayern as i feel that they are the enemy in Klopps eyes, having a strong bond with Dortmund is enough alone for most fans and supporters to have a hatred of bayern but the way they helped to dismantle the team he built at Dortmund would make him a traitor to then go on to manage them. Only my opinion and I understand anything can happen in football but i would be shocked to see Klopp at Bayern Munich.

I gon't get Dier. He is horrendously over rated. He tries the Hollywood pass too much and even when he gets it partially right, he plays them at an awkward height or pace to control which results in his team mates getting clattered or losing possession. You have to be a pretty average midfielder to get dropped for Wanyama as well!

As a centre back, Dier is average, and as a midfielder he is average. He's a good squad player because of his ability to play multiple positions to an okay level, but he is nothing special in any specific role and yet he'll start for England. Unpopular opinion, I know. I just don't think Dier is that good.

I don't like dier. The type of youngster who lacks respect. I remember him on football focus saying "call me versatile but don't call me utility man" I saw it as a dig at milner. Some people don't give him enough respect but milner has been playing at the top level for a long time, a longevity that dier will never emulate. Dier is not and will never be the player milner is and has been.

I agree with you on that one MK, Dier isn’t that good, he’s just the best of a bad bunch of English holding midfielders.

Seems like the Klopp to Bayern and Firmino to Bayern rumours starting at the same time are a little parculiar. They say no smoke without fire but if you rub those two together I'm not sure how much combustion you'd get.

for me dier by name dier by player really poor centre back playing in midfield but with loads of good player around him. think most player would get away with it playing alongside Mousa Dembele. as for International level it is so poor now, worst England team I have ever seen in my 43 years. yet we are still one of the favs for the world cup say it all.

Bayern interest in Firmino started by some pundit who knows nothing.
Bayern interest in Klopp has been for a long time and all his agent did was turn them down politely. Nothing to worry about.
