    Doubt we're a big catch at the moment, probably restricted transfer wise due to the summer spend, and a lot of work to do and some very ordinary players that need to be replaced.

    Squads kinda far off still with Salah and VVD towards the end too.

    and a broken 135m striker, it's all good, and a RB that spends more time injured but would be first choice with frimpong playing further forward, and gomez isn't good enough to cover/stay fit for long period.

    Get your bets in folks..

    F$G fired Rodgers in October 2015... we had lost 4 and just drawn a turgid game v the BS... Not quite the same scenario and Rodgers hadn't won a title BUT F$G know what it was that won the title.. they may be many things - but thicko football fans and punditry - they are not.. They know full well that was 80% and more on Jurgen Klopp. 100% Klopp's team - built by - coached by and managed by the man who then sang out the name of the man HE endorsed in a battle cry to the Kop at his own farewell. A call to arms - answered before tools were downed.

    Alonso failed at Madrid. Spectacularly. 7 months and given the boot.

    And the glory hunters want him here? I'm sure it makes sense in their tiny minds somehow.
    VOTE JOCKY tae fix this fiasco.

    Failed?
    4pts behind barca,both lost 2 league games,ahead of barca in champions league.
    If we where 4pts off arsenal with 2 defeats,we wouldnt be calling for his sacking.

    What he did at leverkusen was pretty special though

    Wirtz at age 20, was pretty special too that season, but he's shite so it doesn't matter lolsssss

    Probably the toughest team for a young manager to manage.

    Player power from all the egos there, hanky waving twat fans from the slightest blip and a president that has zero patience.

    I think Alonso needs to go away and rebuild his career after that Madrid episode. Totally undermined by the players in public. It was embarrassing. PSG might be a good option in the summer. Guaranteed league win and a chance to have a real go at the CL.

    Agree about Leverkusen. He did a fantastic job there. Still failed when he stepped up to Madrid though. He could still do well at LFC but it's risky.

    Was it a bad choice in him taking that role? Tough one to turn down but it never felt like he was quite ready for it.

    It does appear to be a kind of player revolt against him and his style of management. That's from certain media reports anyway.
    Probably too big a job at this point for him, there's very little room for error and it must be a task in itself managing those ego players, I'd add Vinicius to the two you mention aswell.
