I am saying he has been mostly off it for nearly a year. And that any systemic change has been to cope with fatigue AND to make us less easy to figure.
As for “Idiots”...? Well come on geezer the constant trolling of Kev - and your selective reasoning don’t really equate with a mastermind do they.?
Also v Wolves as stated he was anonymous in the game - had no impact on the goals or the result - quite the reverse in fact. Just my opinion..
V Spurs he was much improved
It is great he is finding form again - nobody - NOBODY out there rooting for him more than me - but I am not going to pretend his longer term dip was the fault of Klopp.
Trolling Kev? Well, I'll admit I was a little, but his absolute joy at thoroughly disrespecting Bobby a couple of weeks back and how large he was giving it and running Bobby down when Jota bagged a few pissed me right off, so he thoroughly deserved it.
And he was also trolling Hendo the last couple of games too
I don't have selective reasoning, my reasoning I very much always focused on the team and the team playing at it's best'
I don't do new next bestest thing, I don't do knee jerk if someone who has been a regular fantastic contributor has a dip in form, or they are obviously working on expanding/evolving their game or it seems apparent to me that other changes that have been necessary are impacting on their ability to play at their best.
I don't do sentiment either though, as in, if I see evolution and the team playing to much higher levels with a different player in a position over a number of games, then what someone else has done, in a different style prior to the evolution, 2 years ago which never achieved the same levels of performance or consistency of results doesn't cut it for me
We can't include players on the basis of what they did 2 years ago prior to the team evolving, we have to move forward, and if they want to be included in a certain position they used to be the best in, albeit for a period of only 6 months/half a season, then they have to work as hard as the lad who took their place did to develop their game and take it as they absolutely should have to, they shouldn't just have it handed to them, Shanks, Bob, Joe, Kenny would never, NEVER in a million years have had it, and rightly so
That's the Liverpool way over 6 decades, someone comes in does better than you consistently over numerous games and the team plays far better with them in your place and the results are better, the shirt and that spot is theirs, and it's down to you to work your bollocks off to evolve and improve your own game to take it back when your chances, which are now more limited present themselves
