But that wasn't your original point. Your said Klopp would love to win a 'decent match' what ever that means.
I just pointed out that beating man City & Chelsea surely qualifies as this.
Granted they would love to go on decent run, and that's what the issue has been,.
They have won 'decent games' they just haven't been able to back that up with consistent results and that is the majoe issue Klopp needs to address.
It was just another very poor attempt at a dig at Liverpool. He is constantly doing it. He never makes any sense as far as I can see. He says the most random things trying to get a dig,even when no one is discussing Liverpool.
I may or may not have said it before but I think he is obsessed with Liverpool.

In fairness Arsenal fans are never slow to call for Wengers sacking these days, and true to form there are a few WengerOut tweets going around.

I think Klopp is the one in most danger. He's been there 5 months and not won the title yet.

I'm sure Klopp would love to win a decent match, or get a run in the league....
You mean like beating Chelsea or City?

I'm sure you'd give up those 6 points for the wasted points on 'lesser' teams? but hey that's the buzz that keeps people happy and confident.... I'd be more pissed off at getting beat by teams that you should be beating but I suppose when you've settled for mediocrity beating the likes of Chelsea and City makes life rosy

Echoes of Liam Brady,and John Barnes,a big name appointment,unproven,likely to end in tears.
You could hardly support a team managed by an adulterer could you Tony?

Nice result.  8).  Martial is hitting form.
Title favourites now I'd say.

Jesus,  while we all have different interpretations of world class, 100 players is a bit too broad, and will always require filling up with like Schweiny who was but no longer is, or Martial who isn't but should become, or Coutinho who has the tools but nowhere near the consistency. Consistency really should be the key difference between top players and worldies. The latter does it nearly every week.

My own narrow variation of world class is based in whether Madrid or Barcelona would flex their muscles to get him. This can lead to short lists though as most of the genuine world class players are already at those clubs. So I've got a wider, more morbid criteria which says that if the Madrid bus was to smash into the Barca bus and put them all out of the game for good, then who would those clubs smash records and pull tricks to rebuild their teams around.

In  England:

Ozil, De Gea, Aguero - definitely.

De Bruyne, Kompany, Zabaleta, Silva, Lloris, Kane, Courtois, Fabregas, Willian, Hazard, Costa, Sanchez, Cech, Lukaku, Sturridge - probably.

Shaw, Alderwereld, Alli, Eriksen, Stones, Barkley, Mahrez, Kolorov, Martial, Mata, Koscielny, Coquelin, Ramsey, Giroud, Azpic, Matic, Payet - maybe.

Age would count against a few others. Form of Liverpool and Man Utd a big factor too.

Definitely not vintage times for the EPL in terms of quality. But at least it's exciting.
Can I have some of what you're smoking please  :-\
Luke Shaw world class...?! Some of the others are just as strange.

So United fans don't rate Pep now...  ;D
Sounds like a case of the green eyed monster to me.
City are now the number 1 team in Manchester and will be for a long time to come. The days of United fans hanging  banners with the amount of years since City last won a trophy are well gone....

Annapr. 14 of your last 30 posts on this Forum have been on the Man Utd Thread!
Unsurprisingly you don't get it. It's not about posting  on any particular thread it's about bringing up a certain club time and time again when no one is even talking about that club.
I post on both threads because I have an interest in football not the clubs.

Pep is going to city. If someone had said 10 years ago that the world's greatest manager would choose blue Manchester over Red he would have been sectioned.

If someone told me 26 years ago that Liverpool would become a mid table team...........
What's Liverpool got to do with what seafoid posted
Obsessed  ;D

:-*
Go on tell me. What had seafoids post got to do with Liverpool?  It was the same the other day when there were a few posters talking about players diving. Straight in you go and start posting videos of Liverpool players diving. The conversation hadn't been about any club or the posters weren't having a go at a particular club.
I know I'm not the only one who thinks it as I've got pm's from other posters saying the same.
I don't even support Liverpool, I just think your obsession with them is hilarious.

Seen quiet a few of these last year.

I understand why people would want to wear one and I can understand the old school rubbish it digs up!

Ironic considering most Dubs were fighting for the Brits in WWI at the time.

Totally agree, how anyone can stomach that stuff

I think everyone before you was lamenting the fact that its a problem all through the game, with all teams.

If you really want to turn it into a "my team is better than your's" pissing match, there's plenty of footage out there of United players.
He can't help himself. Totally obsessed with Liverpool he is.This just proves it beyond doubt.

Have you watched Spotlight yet Tony?  Great movie about the child abuse that was rampant in the Catholic Church in Boston.

ill be very surprised if LVG is still manager by the end of the week.

From what ive read the only thing keeping him as manager is the incompetent board who cant decide who the next manager should be.

Dont think much blame can be laid at the Board for this one, the cry after Moyes from the fans was for an experienced European manager and with his CV LVG was among the top candidates available at that time.

Also the club obviously dont want to get into a cycle of investment and then change when it isnt working, everyone knows that LVG is a sitting duck now and if he doesnt go before the end of the season he will go in the summer. But who is out there to realistically replace him and guarantee the type of football that the fans are demanding?

Pep looks like a done deal to City.
Maureen plays the same type of negative stuff as LVG

After those two isn't everyone a gamble in some respect or another?

A big problem is Woodward knows nothing about football but the Glazers according to reports hang on his every word and as LVG is Woodwards choice he's reluctant to sack him because he might lose some of his credibility with the Glazers. The owners aren't bothered what style of football we play, that won't be the reason Mourinho won't get the job. Mourinho's teams are not as bad to watch as what we've had to put up with the last 18 months.

LVG was only going to be here for 3 years so the board should surely have been planning his replacement, it looks like Pep was never under serious consideration otherwise they'd have moved on him along time ago because they were well aware City have been in talks for years with his representatives.

My first choice was always Klopp, I wonder will he live to regret taking the Liverpool job;  Given the squad he's inherited and he doesn't have the same resources he'd have have at United to get it right. If Klopp was still out of a job I'd have expected United to offer him the job.
Ah that old chestnut. He's not coming to us because we didn't want him anyway. ;D
Have you considered the possibility he may have been approached and he turned United down? You know,the way Klopp did.

Free header.. Lol
Imagine there were a few on here who thought United were only a January signing away from winning the league.
#deluded

And did you describe them as 'deluded' at the time????

I did and I was called a chimp and a wum for not agreeing with the 'experts' that LVG just needed a little more time and one or two more signings.....

Do have you got this post??
What's that in English?
