Hi Eds
What do you make of Klopps first six games in charge overall? For me we look more of a overall unit and a togetherness throughoit the players.
{Ed001's Note - I would agree with that, the team spirit is the main change I see. Yes, we are playing much better, but it is in big part due to how the team are working as a team. There were times when our 11 on the pitch looked like they had just turned up and met for the first time. Now they are gradually starting to gel.
It is not perfect, but things are defo moving in the right direction. Klopp is like a force of nature, his charisma has lifted the whole club out of the doldrums. With the better work on opposition analysis he brought in with him, we look like a team that is on the up. Each game you can just see more signs that things are getting better.}

With or Without Klopp, When this Liverpool team press high up the pitch through out, We look one hell of a force.
Shame BR turned away from it.

Ed what you mean by better opposition analysis? Oh and did you see the look on Milner's face when he was taken off.
{Ed001's Note - I mean the change in opposition analysis, bringing in Klopp's guys instead of the hapless people we had at the club, has made a huge difference. There is a reason we slightly change our approach to each game, it is because the analysis has highlighted weaknesses to exploit.
Milner does not look happy, I hope that is just with himself though, as he must realise he is not performing well at the moment.}

Eds01,
I think you must be the most excited, this is the guy you wanted the club to go after all along and they did. Ed01, do you know how the rest of the staff is responding to him ( ayre, backroom staff etc) .
{Ed001's Note - Klopp has pretty much swept everyone along in the wave of euphoria that has accompanied his appointment.}

Klopp stands on the tech area and shouts at Milner through the game out of disappointment. He gets in the way, loses the ball, gives away cheap free kicks and can't seem to cross a decent ball.
Captain?

Klopp will tell you like it is and if Milner is honest, he will know he is not playing well. He needs to show his vaunted professionalism and hardworking nature now because Klopp will be fed up with him if he doesn`t shape up. There`s a new sherrif in town at LFC and if you don`t buck up, you`ll get the boot. End of.

Thanks Ed I never knew we had people at the club spotting the oppositions weakness. Where they that bad?
{Ed001's Note - yes mate. They were a major part of the problem, they were simply not able to analyse the opponents and find their weaknesses.}
06 Nov 2015 14:54:56
And it showed. Thanks again.

No captain for me. Even if he was brilliant, there are more deserving players imo.

Morale's certainly improved and things are much more optimistic, our defence seems more confident and that's a huge thing. I think the area that Klopp's biggest struggle is in attack. I think Klopp wants us to be an expansive team using all the pitch but our players are struggling to coordinate with each other and runs, crosses and passes aren't marrying up. Hopefully this is just a transition thing and the players will adjust.

Remember, it's likely Milner chose Liverpool because of the managers promises.
He'll get over it.
06 Nov 2015 23:50:45
The team just looks happier, and want to play more.
