I don't know about all you reds, but for me Klopp doing interviews about what he and his wife are going to do when he retires has in my opinion, meant him taken his eye off the ball. He has six more league games left and hopefully a uefa cup, that he has been well paid for. so let's hope he gets back to having his mind on these games and leave with the love and praise he deserves.

The players as well.
I know there's a lot of talk about tactics and that's got some validity for sure.
But tactics don't count for anything when players aren't closing down, playing passes behind players, falling over at bad times and missing sitters.
That was my point in the match posts. Yes, the coach is responsible for some of this but the players own an awful lot of what is happening right now. They need to really wake up now.

Iwillbeared, ever heard of multi-tasking or having multiple thoughts at the same time? Klopp was asked questions and he answered them. It's not like he brought up these topics on his own, did he? Pls, let's move on from these innuendos cos that's all this is, IMO.
IMO, these are red herring topics that have nothing to do with what has been happening for months this seasons in terms of how the team has been playing, our ability (or lack thereof) to stop spotting the opposition team a goal majority of the time and the inconsistencies in our finishing that have plagued us for the most part of the season. That's what I'm focused.

I agree Klopp and the players should think about football and Liverpool football club 24/ 7. The fact that they even eat, sleep or go to the bathroom is a disgrace.
{Ed002's Note - Not going to the bathroom could be a disgrace.}
15 Apr 2024 23:14:55
It makes me laugh.
You people expect Klopp and the players to give you absolutely everything yet the first time the results don’t go the way you want you turn on them.
What happened to us all being in this together? Or does that only apply when we’re winning?
You’ll Never Walk Alone, unless you lose and then you can all just be sacked.
And they say football fans are fickle.

Fact is there is only a few games left with big prizes up for grabs but when we play the way we have lately. The players should be running themselves into the ground not this lack lustre play . with open goals galore n bad defending, do you expect us to say oh its OK don't worry about it. we will all be here again supporting our team next year n year after . But let say how it is without being classed as a bad supporter.

If I'm being asked on what am I going to do after work, and I said I want to grab a dinner and watch a movie with the missus, does that mean that I'm done with my current job?
16 Apr 2024 02:25:05
@Haizan - nobody in their right mind thinks anything at all except for their job.
@Iwillbe red - you need to get out more and get a few hobbies, mate. Perhaps if the manager had been able to spend a bit more time with his wife and on holidays he might have had the strength and desire to carry on a bit longer at Liverpool eh?
16 Apr 2024 05:44:07
What happened to us all being in it together when the match going fans were blamed last week for the Atalanta defeat?
16 Apr 2024 06:07:45
WDW I find the less time I spend with my wife the more energy I have.
16 Apr 2024 06:42:19
I hope you give all your energy to your employer and no energy to your personal life just as you expect Klopp and the Players to give all their energy to LFC.
It's about balance . WDW hits the nail on the head.
16 Apr 2024 06:51:46
The knives are out for Klopp. He’s gone from being the best manager we’ve had in 30 years to someone who gets picked apart by everything he says and does. Sad really.
16 Apr 2024 07:20:33
Irish I doubt Klopp will lose much sleep over it mate.
At a guess he’s probably a legend in 97.3% of LFC fans eyes but you can’t please everybody all of the time.
Once Klopp goes he will be missed. He’s made being a LFC fan an amazing experience over the years.
For that I’ll always be grateful to him.
16 Apr 2024 07:23:29
Awful post, nothing else to add.
16 Apr 2024 08:03:45
Ditto what burley said.
16 Apr 2024 09:06:03
JK I did call out the fans for what happened on Thursday and that’s exactly my point.
The fans are going to the game expecting the players to give everything on the pitch. They are expecting the club to push the finances to buy the best players yet in the current climate when everything now costs more they are not prepared to accept that they have to pay more for their ticket.
Not only that but they decide to stage what was basically a silent protest at a European quarter final yet they still expect the players to perform at their highest level.
If we are all in this together then we as fans have to appreciate the world we are living in and that the club’s expenditure will have increased just like everything else has. LFC is not in a bubble that remains unaffected by a global cost of living crisis.
16 Apr 2024 09:39:19
Amen to that @JK but at least I don’t have to worry about finding things to do when the missus is around.
16 Apr 2024 10:36:57
Beckers i was at the game last Thursday and it definitely wasn't silent. The atmosphere was bouncing before the game and slowly died down in line with the performance, but from what i recall the section in the Anfield Upper where i was sang up to probably Atlanta's third goal.
Perhaps your tv or stream volume was the problem.
In the past you've stated that we are the best fans in the world but I'm guessing what you meant was we have the best online / streaming fans in the world.
For the unhappy fans the easiest option to get flags into Anfield and improve the atmosphere i'd say would be to lead from the front and go to games themselves.

"What happened to us all being in this together? Or does that only apply when we’re winning? "
@BP Yes, it only applies when we are winning for a lot of our fans and that is a fact.
However once the winning stops, these people go back to slandering and scapegoating their preferred targets du jour, the same ones they were bigging up when we were winning. Make it make sense. In fact, don't bother.
16 Apr 2024 13:14:49
WDW, usually because she already has a list of things to be done!
16 Apr 2024 12:54:26
Didn’t someone scapegoat the coaching staff in the post above.
There’s no us in following a football team on an illegal free stream.
16 Apr 2024 15:50:12
Guys, you know what the protest is about.
The fans are getting fleeced by the club and you expect them to just take it? If that happens the fleecing will get worse. If the protest affected the performance then good
If “we’re in it together” then don’t exploit your fans.
The protest is on the club, not the poor fans who shell out every game.

Man utd 4-3, Man utd 2-2, Atalanta 0-3, Palace 0-1. OliRed, this is what happens when taking your eye off the ball. also Klopp is going because he can not carry on doing the job so making videos about retiring has had an affect, but you OliRed being someone that has never had anything to do with football, but just watch it, would not understand where i am coming from.
