Liverpool v Newcastle Match Thread

[ianlfc]

Would it continue under a new Manager where players perhaps hace to prove themselves all over again?

Who would like to take over from Klopp ?

Exactly the right question you see nobody wants to put a name forward.

The easy thing is sack the manager but as you can see with WBA/Sheff Utd its made no difference.

Tuchel has made a difference as he is an experienced manager Lampard wasnt, same with Arsenal with Arteta.

The reality is we wont be title winners next season we will be playing for top 4.

If it wasnt for Klopp as Nineteen says City would be on for 4 in a row and start next season as favourites again.

It's frankly ridiculous to suggest Klopp is finished. He's made mistakes (playing Fab as CB and relying on Bobby for so long) but I think he's earned the right to make those mistakes. Few managers would cope with losing so many players at key times without a massive squad or at least a better squad. FSG have more culpability for failing to invest in quality players after winning the league. It's on them.

Substitutions again have made the difference. Newcastle’s were better

In fairness Milner made us much more solid.

The real problem is Fabinho is ok as a stop gap at CB but not long term.

We took Fab out of midfield in last two games both games we dropped points.

To add, let's not forget that Klopp lost his Mum pretty recently.

Well if he’s not finished he’d want to buck up his ideas in time for next season because all the signs are pointing right now to a massive decline in this teams collective ability to dig in and bust a gut for each other. How many times today did we misplace or under hit a simple 10 yard pass in midfield. Ok it happens but previously both the giver and receiver of that pass immediately spring into action to win it back instantly almost turning the give way into a counter attack. This season everyone leaves it to the other. We aren’t working hard enough in these games and klopp is doing nothing different. Send us out with a high line and the same slow dull tactics over and over again and if it works great if it doesn’t then shrug the shoulders. It’s not good enough. Why didn’t he use the last sub when we got the free for the var disallowed goal. Should have wasted out that final minute and gathered the thoughts. Not good enough.

The hunger is gone in a lot of them. Have their CL championship and a PL title on their resumes and now they just have no fire in the belly to do any of it again. I didn’t think they deserved the bad champions label earlier this season but now many of them look like it.

I agree with the last sub part Eggy I was thinking if Carroll came on I bet Rhys would have come on.

It is clear Klopp just doesnt trust many of the subs.

Keita performance away at Madrid well how do you describe it ? He is as fresh as anyone but he was just walking that was totally unacceptable.

Its not just Keita like that for the record but he just seemed to either have no energy, wasnt fit or not arsed ..fact Klopp took him off on 40 mins tells me the answer.
