The OFFICIAL Liverpool FC thread - SlotBall era has begun

Eerily quiet again in here.

Strange.

Does this mean Klopp's record is now worse than LVG's after 84 games?

Well, Yes!

I suppose the only other excuse is the cheque book!

[laoislad]

I suppose the only positive from that today may be that there is only league games left now.  Every other team going for top 4 will have Cup games and European games to play.
There is nothing  positive to take from what's happening on the pitch though! 
They are going to have to turn it around pretty soon.
I wonder will sign anyone before the deadline.

There's a bit of banter and then there's the type of bile you've come out with.  There's a couple of you Man u guys on here who have the mentality of 16 year olds in the school playground. Catch yourself on.

He's been on the board long enough at this stage that you'd think he'd have grown up just a wee bit at this stage.

But don't worry, Liverpool will turn it around in the next few weeks and he'll disappear again.

Do you still think Klopp is a world class manager J70?

Well at least the past month or so has shown that the team is not really fit to play the game Klopp wants if Mane, Coutinho, Lallana and Firmino are not present and fit. The likes of Sturridge doesn't fit in, and how would he when he needs a couple of touches and the ball is being passed slowly from side to side with zero penetration and him completely overcrowded. Need to get back up in in the summer who can play that fast, one touch game. A quick centre half is badly needed to partner Matip too. Those Wolves breaks were embarrassing.

I never said he was world class.

I said he was a highly regarded manager with a proven track record who has a big job on his hands and has more than earned the chance to do it based on what he's done so far at the club.

One bad month doesn't change it, no more than it did for Mourinho or Wenger or Conte earlier this season.

No doubt you were gunning for Rafa in early 2005 after Djimi Traore did his Cruyff pull-back into his own net.

Paul Lambert was  quite modest in his post match comment, "the game plan was brilliant".

Worse than Liverpool's performance were the 3 or so blatant dives/simulating being fouled after minimal contact in the penalty box and this enacted against a low in the table championship side.

Only remember the Woodburn one, but that was a showcase example of why retrospective punishment absolutely has to be brought in. Disgraceful stuff.

Lambert is entitled to stick his chest out. He won it fairly comfortably.

Really disappointed in Klopp's team selection today. If ever there was a time to field a full strength team at home and try to get some confidence back before bigger tests ahead that was it.

Yeah the Woodburn dive was as bad as it gets.  From a17 year old.  When I was 17 you would have had to hit me with a sledgehammer to get me to go down in the box.

As poor as Liverpool were today the way things are at the minute they are more likely to get goals against the so called bigger teams because these teams will look to attack and will look to hold onto the ball.  Liverpool have no way of breaking down well structured defensive teams at the minute irrespective of possession.

Get chelsea out of the way then f**k off January. ..

Well it's not an issue anymore!

Full strength, as available, every game now for the rest of the season.

[The Stallion]

Yes, Henderson, Mignolet and Milner. Every. Single. Game.

Klopp's masterplan after spending over 60 million in the Summer. And he is lauded as a genius. Staggering.

[Minus15]

You are right there J70. We will prob only see the same 14 or 15 players for the rest of the season injuries permitted. Sturridge is finished at Liverpool. I really think Sakho should be given another chance.
