You's are like kids on Christmas Eve debating the merits of the Easter Bunny.

Would you's ever shut the fvck up and go to bed. The sooner you do, the sooner Santa Klopp arrives.

Most people forget all about Steve Finnan, but he's one of the finest right back's we've ever had. He'd get into any Liverpool team. Defensively solid and he was superb going forward and whipping in a cross.

Haven't had a full back since that could cross as well. Excellent full back, best I've seen in a Liverpool shirt.

Maybe? Maybe I'm wrong, are you serious here?...........blowing teams away and you mildly questioned your opinion on a manager bringing it all together? and all it took was the closest title charge we had in the EPL era?...........absolute spoofer comment :pac:

At the end of that season I honestly thought we had an incredible young manager on our hands, its a shame he turned his back on everything that made us great that season.

You just said, season 1. mind made up.season 2 bandwagoned it for awhile.

This, it requires jedi levels of hate not to see it. Rodgers defiantly got the club and it's position in the community

I thought he did it willingly enough :P

All the best to Rodgers, I stood behind him till the end (which was about a month ago). He entertained us and I thought his hamming up of his role in "Being Lpool" gave us more clues to his talents than we saw at the time..came across as a first class waffler when the sh1t hit the fan.

Seems to be a real bang of desperation from the journalists about this. All trying to be the first to have any slight bit of news. I guess being outscooped by some no names on Twitter damaged some pride.

Ya, my point was we all thought he was the real deal, or the vast majority, I would say you included but apologies if wrong.......did you not say you were wrong? Not that you thought you were wrong but you were actually wrong?

Its not important, just poking a bit of fun and looking forward to a manager that really is the real deal.

Why do people care so much about arguing with Mr Alan? The sooner Klopp is confirmed and we have something definite else to talk about the better.

Rodgers done a good job overall. 13/14 was an incredible season that I will never forget & Rodgers deserves great credit for that season. I still believe he is a good coach & I think he will go on to have a good career. He also came acoss as a good man despite your constant personal abuse of him which dragged down this thead for years.

Twas the night before Jurgen, for all of the Scouse, something great was occurring, no more Rodgers in the house.

Yeah, while I was watching Liverpool smash teams left right and centre and go on a record breaking amount of league wins that season, I just couldn't fully enjoy it with the niggle in the back of my mind about our poor defense and the players we signed, it's all I could think about.

Yea, I thought I had been wrong. Turned out I hadn't.

Rodgers will find his level and end up at Sunderland or Newcastle or somewhere similar and good luck to him.

Who cares!

Klopp is something to be excited about.

It's aimed at the whole conversation really, not anyone in particular, but including Alan for participating fully in it too. It's a repeated conversation that's very tiresome to me.

Emmmm trying to bite my lip here, but no, no he didn't.


He spent nearly £300m and left the club in at best the same position it was in when he took over.

I'd argue it's a worse position when you factor in the lack of any world class talents in the team

It's quite simple, if he'd done a good job, he wouldn't have just been sacked.

Im a Newcastle fan and I'm so ****ing jealous.

Ye now have the coolest, maddest, scariest and most inspiring mother ****er managing ye. How could the players not run through a wall for him or the fans not get behind him.

Seeing as it seems to be a done deal, I figured id share this interview klopp did with the guardian before the dortmund bayern final. I remember reading it at the time and finding it fascinating, all the more fascinating now. I strongly recommend reading it, gives is a great insight into the eccentricity of the man. He comes across as a very interesting and likeable guy, but also completely bonkers.

Why do people....

• argue with Mr. Alan?
• argue with the really annoying pro-Rodgers guy?
• argue with the equally annoying anti-Rodgers guy?
• tell us about what they had for breakfast?
• moan about the fact that the forum ain't what it used to be?
• moan about the people who moan about the fact that the forum ain't what it used to be?
• make so many UFC references?
• search people's history of posts just to prove someone wrong?
• never use Google to find out what fucking channel we're on?
• never allow for the fact that, occasioanlly, we all change our minds/opinions on things/players?
• fools fall in love?

Why?

Agent Coulson

We are going from a manager who was 5ft5 to one who is 6ft4 that is just more imposing on the sideline as well over the 4th officials.

Fair point. If they don;t show motivation after Klopp, then there's really no hope for them.

The already fragile mental state of the defence, now - that could go either way...

Can you imagine buying a new cool car. A Tesla for example. Its fcuking cool, its fcuking fast. You've wanted one for ages and spent hours watching YouTube clips on the finer points of the car. No-one can believe that you have managed to buy this car.

The Jeremy Clarksons of this world, even though they know you're on to a winner will say the car's credentials are fraudulent. But you don't give a **** because its like all you're Christmas mornings at once.

AND YOU SPEND THE WHOLE NIGHT BEFORE IT ARRIVES ARGUING THE FINER POINTS OF THE MAZDA 3 YOU TRADED IN TO BUY IT WITH THE MAN DOWN THE ROAD

That's the LFC thread

MR NINE

A lot of people seem to be mentioning being content with 5th or 6th place this season. I understand that there shouldnt be a minimum requirement of bettering that this season and it shouldnt be until the end of next season that we start judging his performance. However, I think were in a really good position to challenge for fourth or even better this season. I think we have a pretty good squad of players, though there are a couple weaknesses admittedly. All the big teams are underperforming so far and the table is very bunched. Were 8 games in and weve already been to old trafford, emirates and goodison. I dont really know how good klopp is, but going by his record and reputation, he'll be one of the best managers in the league. I think we have a decent chance of finishing in the top four and will be slightly disappointed if we dont come very close to doing so.

This is bullsh!t, Al. You make it sound like we didn't need a manager that year. Just play Suarez and it will be grand. Fvcking bull****.

Sure Shankly was a spoofer, it was Keegan and Toshack that brought him his success. But that was them two alone. Nothing to do with the manager.

Paisley...another spoofer. Had Dalglish playing in his team. All about Dalglish, no other player on the team exists. Forget about tactics. And then the eejit did another silly thing by sticking by Ian Rush. Paisley was a sh!te manager, it was just Rush scoring goals.

As for Dalglish, don't get me started on him. That gobsh!te was playing Beardsley Barnes and Aldridge just to win a game. Yeah fine, they won stuff. But without them, how sh!t would Kenny be. It's almost like he was playing them because they were bought for a specific purpose.

Net spend and yeah, we're in a better position than when Kenny left us.

Mr Alan

You really talking about Rodgers in the same breath as Shankly, Paisely & Dalglish?

Our squad is alot better than it was in 2012. Maybe we had some bigger names but apart from Suarez they were all past there best. Coutinho is a potential world class talent so is Sturridge if he can remain fit. Benteke has shown some promising signs too. Firmino hasn't settled yet but under Klopp i expect him to be a very good player for us. Clyne has made a great start for & Moreno is starting to show what a good player he is. Danny Ings looks like he will be a good striker for us as well. Maybe we lack big name playes but overall I think we have a squad to challenge for the Top 4.

Which is what we had when Rodgers came....?

If I had a choice between Klopp inheriting the squad we had them or the squad we have now, if pick the one we had then. I think anyone would be mad not to tbh.

Just saw this quote from Giles earlier, sums up Rodgers perfectly;

I was very critical of him at times because I think he used to talk too much and promise too much. He had this business talk or business speak, rather than football talk. At times he was like the fella who you'd ask the time and he'd tell you how to build a clock.

rob316

I don't know if I said it already but I'm so excited. We never sign high profile players so this is new territory signing a world class manager, the level of expectation I have is crazy. I definitely need to calm down. My wife is sick of me talking about Klopp the past few days.

We finished 8th befoe Rodgers came on 52 points. 17 points behind 4th.
So no we didn't have a squad to challenge fo Top 4. We were closer to finishing in the bottom 3 than the top 4.
