Morning Eds and Reds,
Eds just wanted to pick your brain a bit,
In your opinion what do you think Klopp is thinking at the moment?
1. Do you reckon he new the magnitude of the job when he took it, As in do you think he thought it would be easier then it has been so far?
2. Do you think the league is still a priority for him or do you reckon he is just concentrating on the cups and just writing of this season?
3. What do you think his plans will be this summer? Judging on recent performance there is only maybe 1/ 2 players i would keep personally, Do you reckon there will be a massive clearout and restart all over again, using the funds of sales and whatever budget is there to rebuild or just add 1 or 2 quality players?
I know its impossible to know for sure in this moment ;-) but I just wanted your opinion of what you think would happen,
Thanks in advance for any answers you can give.
Dev.
{Ed002's Note - The latest news about Klipperty is that he is in bed recovering, eating porridge and is having the hair on the soles of his feet combed. Tough to know what he is thinking. (1) The expectations of the fans was that he was the superhero who would come in and win every game from get go. The reality is that he is a good manager who won a few things a number of years ago but is far from what the fans elevate him to be. So much of the "magnitude" is down to unrealistic expectations not being met. (2) If every game is not a priority then he has to go immediately. (3) He came in to work with the players at the club and within the structure the club has in place. There will be changes in the summer but they are not going to replace all 40 first team players the club has on the books.}

Thanks for the reply ed,
I have to say i agree, Many people seen Klopp as the mesiah who would save us all, the reality is while he maybe a better manager then rodgers he isn't a miracle worker and can only work with what he has, that said will he be sitting down in 4 years times with a premier league trophy who knows.
Who would have thought leicester would be where they are now?
Regarding point 2 ed, I get what your saying i guess i was just hoping there was some reason why our league form has been so bad, I know this goes against what i just said, but i can't help feeling if rodgers was still in charge we would be further up the table, i'm only 25 but in those years of watching liverpool this has to be the worst I've seen any liverpool team play and our league form reflects that even if the cup competitions dont.
{Ed002's Note - In four years time Klipperty will be sitting down to a mid morning snack in Munich.}

Well said ed it really is about fans expectations, i mean a football supporter always wants there team to do well and i never want Liverpool to lose but over the years ill learnt not to expect so much and more about supporting the players and club at whatever position we may be in. love this game,90 mins can bring out every emotion i have.

We are the only set of supporters in this universe who write off the league as early as december to suit their own ridiculous exuses. No wonder y we are called " Next year is our year. "
There are 15 games left and how about trying to get 45 points in those?

Ed02, in 2 replies in quick succession (see below) you seem to doubt Klipperty, as you call him, by saying he is a "good" manager yet seem certain he will be at Bayern in 4 years. I know you don't mention Bayern but it's obvious that's what you mean.
Don't you think Bayern will be looking for something better than a good manager?
"The reality is that he is a good manager who won a few things a number of years ago but is far from what the fans elevate him to be".
"In four years time Klipperty will be sitting down to a mid morning snack in Munich".
{Ed002's Note - What do you see as being incorrect there? Klipperty is indeed a good manager. Klipperty did win some trophys a few years ago. Bayern did want Klipperty for this coming summer but Guardiola screwed them around. Bayern will return for Klipperty in 2019. Or are you just saying Klipperty is not good enough for Bayern Munich.}

You can barely plan for next week in football so goodness knows how you can forsee something happening in 4 years. A lot can happen within that time. You may find ‘Klipperty’ in Beijing at the Bombay Banquet in 4 years time tucking into a little Hoisin Duck. Who knows, maybe Thomas Tuchel will get the nod from Bayern? Maybe Brendan Rodgers? Graeme Souness even?

Incorrect, where did I mention that Ed? You described Klopp as a good manager, I asked don't you think Bayern would aim higher than good? I have yet to give my opinion on Klopp at Liverpool never mind at Bayern.

{Ed002's Note - You let me know if it doesn't happen then.}

Not out to hunt you down or prove you wrong. You’re a intelligent person, I think you know what my point is.
{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what your point is. Sorry.}

"In four years time Klipperty will be sitting down to a mid morning snack in Munich" 😆
Will Kirikou be his guest after he's just taken WDS for a walk? You crack me up Ed 😂.
{Ed002's Note - #WonderDogSparky has never been taken for a walk.}

I think he has been taken for a ride though Ed 😂.
