Rafa used to drive me insane when he was our club's manager rotating and the likes and now Klopp seems to drive a few of you insane.
Yet, I must admit that Rafa did an incredible job for us in general, let's hope that the Klopp detractors will admit that he was good for us in a few years.
I still believe Klopp is the best manager we've had in a long time.
He's only had ONE full season in charge remember (plus 7 months of the previous season), when he hit his target and even if he hadn't, I'd still want him to stay.
So in almost 2 seasons he's taken us to 2 cup finals plus we're on the verge of the Champions league - that's pretty impressive to me and considering he hasn't spent fortunes.
Get behind him, the players, the new signings we get in the next week and we'll have a good season once we address and fix our frailties.

I really like Klopp but it doesn't make him bulletproof.

Of course not, but what used to make us an even more attractive club was our patience with managers who may not reach targets each season such as Evans, Houllier, Souness etc.
I'm not saying we will or won't reach targets this season but just that I'd suggest we have patience.
We're not a moneybags club really so I personally can't understand why 'fans' lose patience so easily after a bad result or two.
I guess it's the Twitter/ Social Media way these days.

Moneybags club?

We pay some of the highest wages though.

Olrish I believe it's down to the world of social media. Years ago fans would be just as unhappy but would air it in a pub to whoever was in earshot. Now its easily accesible to have hundreds or thousands of people all over the world putting their 2 pence in (which as fans everyone is entitled too. That's why we love the sport) Last season our aim was to get top 4 and we successfully managed that. For me this window was a chance to push on but I believe this current squad makes our aim the exact same again of top 4. We are no closer to a title or CL challenge. But that is just my opinion. I sincerely hope I am proven wrong. I agree with your Op and thought it was a good comment. I was rushed in my initial reply. YNWA.

He needs to win the PL title else not much different from Mr Wenger!

Love your comment, Orlish. I love Klopp, worts and all. he makes mistakes and needs to adapt BUT who doesn't. Rafa rotated for sometimes no reason at all which is what irritated me the most as managers rotate all the time. Rafa would do it as if it was some kind of tactic, which was annoying.

As for today's fans, they are part of the social media brigade, who post nonsense all the time and have NO patience whatsoever with our club. You should see some of them and their comments on other fan sites, where they are literally rooting for us to fail so they can say, "I told you so" as if LFC failing will make them rich or something.

They also literally make stuff up based on some crazy conspiracy theory like "FSG are sucking us dry" or "They are not backing Klopp" or some other lunacy just to look like they know what is going on behind closed doors whereas they have no clue cos they live in an echo chamber where all they can hear is themselves. A complete disgrace.

So people who criticise anything about the club are complete disgraces. Does that include your Milner comments Bingored or is that different.

No worries Jayden, I think we have to be realistic though. Winning the PL would be very very difficult to achieve, far from impossible but certainly not easy.
We should be able to have a title push almost every season though so long as we have some luck injury wise etc.
We're still a very very high reputation club which should help us in various ways.
What are your sources for that statement Davey about wages?
Do we pay these due to free transfers such as with Milner and Matip for example do you think?
Please share if you can.
Thanks Bingo, wouldn't say they're fans at all to behave like that.
The social media era does my head in personally, I see the awful comments on Twitter from the brave boys sitting in their parents' basements. It's disgusting some of it.
I believe they were out in force over the last couple of days on Matt Le Tissier's Twitter account.
He took it well considering, but I certainly wouldn't consider these people fans, they're nothing short of angry, failures in life in many cases who take out their frustrations on the successful.
I'm sure the money is great and all being famous but nothing is worth the abuse some of them and their family receive.

22 Aug 2017 18:48:54
I don't expect us to win it but a title challenge would be the least we are aiming for. And when I mean challenge that's not finishing 2nd and 10-20 points off top. It's sustaining a proper challenge where we are a couple of points off top or keeping pace with them at the very least.

22 Aug 2017 18:48:57
Houllier fisted Evans.

22 Aug 2017 19:08:41
Jay, I criticized Milner cos he was crap during the game, based on my evaluation. You are free to disagree. Now regarding fans being disgraces cos they criticize the club, I said no such thing. You are free to criticize the club, no problem. But if you are going to do that by making things up in your head and rooting for us to fail so you can win a pathetic argument that no one else is having with you but yourself then sorry, that is not criticism. That is having an agenda and such fans are a disgrace.

22 Aug 2017 19:19:15
I believe that could be realistic for sure but probably not every season. I'd take it if we got it once every two to three seasons personally.
Lfcder, try to keep your personal fantasies to yourself I would suggest.

22 Aug 2017 20:08:41
Bingored fair enough mate. I've clearly misinterpreted your comment for something that it is not. Apologies.
