    I've given you a direct quote of what you said about Arteta "overtaking" Klopp...

    I've broken down the spending gaps by season..

    Ive given you the 12 most expensive signings of the shared Klopp and Arteta era.

    And yet you still can't back up what you said in any demonstrable way.. cant wax lyrically...

    I see your back to FSG and talking absolute bollocks...

    No integrity. No substance.

    Still arguing against a point I didn't make.

    Stating that Arteta overtook Klopp in the league table is a fact, not an opinion on who is the 'better' coach.

    The reason for that overtake is the substance you're ignoring: Backing.

    The fact is Arteta has averaged well over £80 million per transfer window net - Klopp had less than £40 million a season. It’s half the backing from an already lower net spend which predated Mikel up at the Arsenal.

    You can list 'expensive signings' all you want, but the Net Spend data proves Klopp was operating with one hand tied behind his back compared to the investment Arsenal put into their rebuild. Klopp’s squad was running on fumes after winning everything, while Arteta was allowed to spend heavily to refresh. Ignoring that financial handicap is where the real lack of integrity lies.

    This thread makes for intereseting reading. Any wonder I don't visit this place.

    🤡 🤡 LISTEN UP CLOWNS 🤡 🤡

    Now is the time to support the team and the club. There's a lot going on that make it a difficult season. The new players haven't settled yet, Jota's death is still having an impact and Salah needs a rest. Oh and we lost the best right back in the world in the summer. Remember how you all bragged that we'd be better off without him?

    A lot of our problems have been down to the defense. Konate has played like a drunken Traore for most of the season. Kerkez doesn't look quite good enough and we badly miss the aforementioned TAA. That's life girls.

    There is still plenty to be positive about. Wirtz is a class player. Isak will come good. Our manager was brilliant last year. He made so many good decisions at half-time which helped change games for us. He hasn't suddenly forgotten that. And Mo? Let's hope he's got a few good months left in him.

    There you go. Ups and downs. Swings and roundabouts. Call it whatever you want. Every club has dips in form. We're currently in one. How you react defines you as a fan. You lot are a bunch of shithouses.

    The reason you have never defended your position is that after I analysed it and showed the 12 most expensive additions of both managers, you realised just how silly your position is...

    Comparing the top 12 most expensive signings over their shared era, it is.....

    Rice
    Havertz
    White
    Jesus
    Partey
    Cauliflower
    Timber
    Ooodegard
    Zinchenko
    Viera
    Merino
    Raya

    Versus

    Nunez
    Sobozla
    Jota
    Gakpo
    MacA
    Konate
    Grav
    Thiago
    Endo
    Tsimi
    Carvalho
    Minamino

    Once the players were put in front of you, you dissappear

    No integrity, no substance.

    "Once the players were put in front of you"...?

    No really? What part of the following

    "You can list 'expensive signings' all you want, but the Net Spend data proves Klopp was operating with one hand tied behind his back compared to the investment Arsenal put into their rebuild. Klopp’s squad was running on fumes after winning everything, while Arteta was allowed to spend heavily to refresh. Ignoring that financial handicap is where the real lack of integrity lies."

    Klopp had less than HALF the net spend and as a result the opportunity in the market that Arteta had. WHY? Had he not proved through the incredible use of the Coutinho funds that he could land the players the other top clubs wanted..? A time where we could go toe to toe with City, Chelsea and the Arse for top targets. This opportunity was missed to pay for stands.. Super swift pay back on a cheap as chips - half solution.. This is what resulted in missing out x2 on titles we win with just a little more backing.... Why? when revenues were at record levels? WHY when the value of all Premier league football clubs was rising out of all proportion?

    Why the rush?

    Were F$G broke? So short of funds that they couldn't allow their biggest franchise to pay for its own upgrades over a more reasonable time frame..? NO.. The attitude was - Klopp is a genius and he will get us there or there abouts operating well below the spends of his direct rivals. This results in a shattered boom and bust squad. Mentality drained and legs rinsed to make titles un winnable for rivals - rewarded with puny spends in the market when we needed to go again. A mistake CLEARLY acknowledged this very summer.. THIS is what held him back.. the missing pieces of the puzzle. This is what allowed Arteta to close the huge gap of 43 points on us and overtake us in Klopps last 2 seasons. If not this... Please explain what happened..? Are you suggesting that Klopp went to shit?



    If you refuse to accept the facts - that's cool, nobody expects much less from such an obvious shill.

    And people don't disappear they simply work out that you are a WUM and ignore you. I have tried to engage purely out of sympathy.

    That ends...

    I hope klopp takes over another team soon so stevo can fuck off and support them

    Fuck me you're linking that video for the 50th time in 2 days

    One thing I don't like about Slot is the what he says in the press, why is he so open about everything? he's already told everyone best way to play against us, "top 4 target" well no shit it's not the title now is it.

    Well you know this highlights the confusion on here - One poster is defending Klopp from me - the other is saying I am basically a Jurgen Klopp fan more than a Liverpool fan..

    Hmm.

    Here's the other one kev lad

    I’m with Steveo

    Arsenal

    2 top keepers

    5 senior high quality CBs

    3 quality RBs

    3 quality LBs

    2 quality DMs

    Choice of 6 quality mid

    2 quality 10’s

    3 quality LFWD

    3 quality RFWDs

    3 quality 9s

    Some of this includes players who play several positions but they had incredible strength in depth bought for top money

    That’s what FSG should have backed Jurgen with and built a squad of the same quality and strength in depth
