Klopp has allowed the poor form to happen. He is the manager, he takes the stick. We have been poor for a few weeks. Nothing has been done about it. Why?
I got hammered the other week after the man utd cup game when i posted i hope klopp has them in the next morning for shooting and finishing practice as they missed so many chances and since then we have been just the same very poor finishing.
I also said Trent is never a full back while he has a hole in his hoop the second goals was very much like Madrid's winner in the Champions League where Trent never attacked the ball. I am convinced Bradley is a far better full back than Trent will ever be. As for the three forwards, Diaz tried the other two Mo and Nunez should never have been on the pitch.
i don't care how many goals Mo has scored, you don't put on the red shirt of Liverpool and go through the motions. We can see this so why can't klopp? I would rather throw Danns on even though he is a kid. He would put more effort into the game. This is not after the fact this is what i have posted over the season.

By saying Klopp has allowed our poor form to happen, do you think he could have prevented it and didn't?
If so, why would he do that?

I reckon he should have played the kids more often
Our poor performances have built since senior players returned
Which is why I think they have tapped out of listening to Klopp.

In fairness he’s looked at the business end of the season and gone with experience, I think a combination of poor tactics and players letting the club down are the issue. Consecutive stupid mistakes almost every game, sloppiness, no one taking responsibility, lack of quality in depth in key positions and players who are at the end of their careers in very visible decline. A toxic mixture to have at the end of the season.

Apart from Quansah / Bradley the kids haven’t really played much premier league football this season.
Even in the 3 cups the kids were accompanied with quite a few senior players for the majority of games.

Paisley79 respectfully, nonoe of us were advocating for playing the kids a the time when we emerged as title contenders so let's not start with the hindsight stuff. If anything, we were all looking forward to the senior players comong back to give the squad the bodies it needed and give us a boost. Alas, it did not happen and we got worse. If many were and he wasn't then, fair. Nobody did that so let's leave the past where it is.
As for Klopp "allowing it to happen", that would mean he knew better and chose to do nothing which I don't believe for a second. Now do I believe that he has either not recognised our issues which have existed from jump? Absolutely and that's on him. Now these issues have come back to bite and and we can't get out of the rutt we are in. It's that simple, IMO.

We'll never know what the kids would have done. Klopp works with them everyday and will have a better idea than us about them.
It's a cliché often rolled out when things are not going well: play the kids. Klopp and the players deserve criticism but it's hard to criticise someone that isn't playing.
Does anyone really think that Danns, McConnell and Clarke would win us the League? It's a genuine question because I know very little about them. Please don't use 'they couldn't have done worse' because they could when we are second in the League.

I seen mo huffing at his team mates last night because when the pass was on or he running to make space they wasn’t picking him out I’ve seen Nunez over the last few weeks do the same make runs and by the time someone does pass it forward he would be offside. To slow.
25 Apr 2024 21:30:33
I do think the players who played v fulham deserved to start. They showed a lot of bite that the current starting lot (who were benched Sunday) hadn’t shown the last few games.
25 Apr 2024 21:42:33
Whomever he picked, the result determines the reaction.
If he’d gone with kids and we’d lost, there would be hell to pay. If we lose, he gets pelters either way.
His subs though, well that’s another matter.
25 Apr 2024 22:04:05
I’m trying to imagine the world you’re describing. I guess it looks like Klopp sitting in a dark closet the morning after the manU game and doing nothing. Which is obviously bollocks, like your premise
You are confusing outcome with performance and effort. It’s ok, it’s a classic mistake that people make. The worse thing is to allow that confusion to get conflated by your own speculation and then pass it off as fact. That’s when we start to worry that there won’t be enough tinfoil for the rest of us.
25 Apr 2024 22:35:23
We can’t handle a run in. The only way we win the league is by winning almost every game from the beginning until it’s almost impossible for anyone to catch us.
25 Apr 2024 22:49:21
Exactly, Faith. More hindsight "genius after the fact" stuff, IMO.
25 Apr 2024 23:58:19
Look, anyone saying we’ve ’checked out’ or are not trying is completely wrong in my view.
Anyone saying Klopp allowed it to happen just has no idea about anything.
Klopp has sent a team out for each game that is good enough to win the game. I think we can all agree on that given the season we’ve had.
The players have just frozen under the pressure of a quad challenge and that has now taken over the entire squad it would seem. You can see the exasperated look on his face as he watches the game, they are obviously not doing what he’s asked them to do.
I do agree that he’s the gaffer so he has to take responsibility if the players aren’t mentally right but to say he allowed it to happen is just silly. We are not the first team that’s choked under the pressure of trying to win major trophies and we won’t be the last.
It really doesn’t have to be any more complicated than that.

LiverpoolFC8, isn't this the first run in that you could say we haven't handled a run in under Klopp?
The other two seasons when we were contenders we missed out by one point and City had to post ridiculous points totals to win it.
How did we not handle it?
26 Apr 2024 09:11:20
@OP. Your first sentence is ridiculous. I’m not sure about the rest as I stopped reading after the first sentence. How did Klopp”let” the poor form happen?
