Hi eds,
Please can any of the eds give their opinion of the klopp era so far and what you think the future holds?
{Ed002's Note - It has been a bumpy ride Josh and it will likely continue that way for a while. He arrived agreeing to work with the players at the club and within the operational framework of the club. He has made much of the concept of a "pre-season" so if Liverpool were to organize what they plan to do for the summer pretty early on then he will have little excuse on that front.}

I agree, Ed. He will have time molding the team and I think he will need at least two seasons to really get us going. However, I fully expect that he knows what the deal is and improvement will demanded and rightfully so.
{Ed002's Note - This whole issue surround a couple more years of transition I just can't buy.}

The summer will be difficult for Klopp sadly because of the distraction of the European Championships. Maybe that's why we are stocking up on Brazilians? 😄
I just want to see incremental improvements, I agree transition is a term used too frequently. We need to see gradual improvements, and when some of our youngsters mature then hopefully the culture will be vastly improved.
{Ed002's Note - The Copa America takes place in Argentina this summer.}

Now this, Ed002 i totally agree with.
07 Feb 2016 19:49:25
Ed, I thought The Copa America is in the U. S this summer.
{Ed002's Note - Yes you are right - it is the centennial celebration of the first which was in Argentina.}

Oh I forgot about the Copa America 😡.

If we see Klopp start to assemble his own squad and there is a big improvement on this season. I for one would be happy.

If Leicester can make such a transformation in one season why do we have to put up with year or two of transformation, simple game made complicated by idiots. Score more goals than they do, either by great defence (George Graham) or great attack (Sir Red Nose) or a bit of both, simples.

I remember Graham's defensive tactic
Ball comes in
Defenders dart out
Waving their hands in the air like they are being chased by a 600lb rapist with a lasso in his hand
And the linesmen always fell for it
They must have caught the most offsides ever recorded in English football during that era
Saying that keown and Adams could communicate and head a ball as well which helped.

They had back passes in George Graham's day too. I remember that all too well 😞.
