The OFFICIAL Liverpool FC thread - #DankeJürgen

Poor stuff. No width, no cutting edge, no urgency. No subs until the 70th minute. It was clear after 20 the way this was panning out.  Even on the occasional break Liverpool were ponderous. The penalty miss typified things.  Not really surprising though. This is the way things have been since Christmas.  Win one or two, then drop points.  Shows how poor the sides around them are when Liverpool are still in the hunt for top 4.

Amazing to see how Klopp has managed to struggle with what should be a procession to a top four finish.

Have to agree. Then again you could say the same thing about Arsenal, Man City and Man Utd!

On the evidence of the last few months they don't deserve it

There are only 5 decent teams and Arsenal

Everton are a bit behind
The rest are Championship plus money

Chelsea with no European football helped them greatly. Tottenham the 2nd best in league doesn't say much for the overall quality of the so called best league in world

Does anybody still call it that? Anytime I've seen those words in a sentence, relating to the EPL, they are always preceded by 'The So called', just as you have done...

In reality it is the best league in the world. Maybe not the best teams overall in it, but the depth is beyond what the other big leagues have.

Just look at Real and Barca hammering everyone now they've their arses in gear and know they can't drop points. Such a massive gap.

Fair point. Apart from the lads in the SKY sports studio that get paid to say it or Syferus I can't imagine many call it that anymore.

No way Origi can start next week v West Ham

[The Stallion]

Why not?  Klopp is clearly a big fan despite Origi having no discernible talent for the sport. This is Klopp, his ineptitude knows no bounds.

[north_antrim_hound]

Don't think Klopp would be starting Origi if Mane was fit
I think Liverpool has been unlucky with injuries to so many key players

So which league then in your opinion is the best in the world and why ,and what makes it better than the EPL?

The Primera Division of Chile has only 7 points separating 1st from 10th. Maybe that league is a contender?

La Liga is the best i have watched the best in the world i don't know as i haven't watch all of the leagues. The La Liga has some the best players in the world and even the technical ability on the ball of some of their lesser known players is on a different level to most players in England.

The Premier league this season promised so much before a ball was kicked. It was hoped with some the best managers in the world in Conte,Guardiola,Mourinho,Klopp that the league would improve from past seasons however apart from Conte who had the luxury of no European football they were unable to get the best out of their sides or produce a good season for the spectators watching.

The French,German,Italian leagues are nothing great either though all are arguably better than the Premier league right now.

Had Sturridge had a full half you might have won the game. Apart from him it was very pedestrian stuff. Pure shite infact.

"Before Sunday's game against Southampton, current Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and ex-boss Brendan Rodgers had identical Premier League records after their first 65 games in charge of the Reds: W33 D18 L14 (117 points).

We know Klopp drew his 66th game against Southampton.

How did Brendan do?

He won his."
