None of that crowd will be anywhere near Spurs.

Arse will get 4th if they keep their striker fit.

Can anyone make out the conversation between John Henry and Klopp around 3 mins in? Henry says something like 'So no transfers?' but its hard to make out what Klopps response was

H: "So no signings?"
K: "Yeah"
H: "What? So you didn't want them?"
K: "If you want them all to play football you have to do that." *Big Grin*

#LFC expecting to be without Alisson Becker for between 4 and 8 weeks depending on how quickly he heals. Club working on having Andy Lonergan on the bench for the Super Cup with Adrian starting.

In the "This is Anfield" video wasn't Kelleher warming up with Adrian before the game on Friday? I knew he was injured but assumed he was back.

Who ever takes over better be in same mould. It's only a English thing to throw away all the hard work of one manager and appoint a Hodgson who does it his way.
Barca only appoint those who keep the mould, we have to do the same. Club has changed from ground up since Klopp came in, that needs building on, not destroying.

Pep Lijnders is the obvious in-house candidate to succeed Klopp.

Kelleher is back training but not 100% fit is how Klopp put it in the post match interviews.

Why are we talking about new managers as if our current one isn't one of the best we've ever had?

Funnily enough, I would be very very worried if the owners/management of the club do not have reasonably robust plans for the major scenarios in which Klopp might leave.

I'd take Pep Lijnders before Gerrard.

Lampard at Chelsea should be a warning for anyone yearning for Gerrard to succeed Klopp. Speaking of which Sheyi Ojo had a good game for Rangers today it seems. Made two and scored one in a route.

Eh I don't think he has a better team to play tbh, that's a dreadful team, poor man knew what he was in for but it's still an incredibly tough job.

What's with the anti-Gerrard bias, one of our best ever players and a legend of Liverpool, no reason why he couldn't get the job with little experience and have a chance to be successful like Zidane and guardiola. Our own Dalglish didnt have much experience at the time...

As for the Gerrard controversy, I only mentioned it as I have read comments that he should follow Klopp, obviously that would be madness as things stand. As for Kenny D, all he needed to be was himself in 1985 so far ahead of the rest was that squad.

Why the hate Harry why the hate go on answer why the hate for one of the greatest ever?

I have to agree there is something very unlikeable about him as a person for me I couldn't take to him.

A great footballer no doubt.

Same feeling for Carra as well.

Harry Palmr

Hate?! Wtf? It's not hate, it's simply not mindless genuflection. Ditto Gerrard. There are few real heroes out there. Footballers are not among them. Dalglish was much more important off the pitch when it most mattered.

Agent Coulson

To be totally honest If I had to pick a player from that era to be the next manager of Liverpool after Klopp there is only one choice for me and that is Xabi Alonso.

Gerrard's the face of the club imo, even more so than Kenny, but that doesn't mean he'd be a good manager. I'd like to see him prove himself like any other candidate before giving him a job.

I’ll say it. Gerrard was an amazing player but it was all about me, me, me in his interviews. From the few I’ve seen of his Rangers debut, it hasn’t changed. Never about the team.

He is not ready to take over from Klopp who is the complete opposite in approach. When have you ever heard Klopp say anything but praise for the team effort. When things go wrong he puts his hand up and accepts it.

Klopp will eventually take the German national team job. Hopefully it’s a long way off.

Xabi is managing kids isn't he, at Real Zaragoza .

For some reason spelling predictor reckons xabi is a cabinet.

For what it's worth Gerrard seems to be going about it the right way for now, not hanging around the club asking for a job like Giggs.

Never thought that, tbh. He always seemed uncomfortable in interviews, like he didn't enjoy the spotlight. I'm sure behind the scenes he was raging at the mediocrity in the squad, but in front of the camera's he never threw anyone under the bus, as far as I recall.

That is the one positive but I have a horrible feeling that when it does come down it and Klopp has a bad run or announces he is stepping down there will be a significant amount of fans crying out for him to get it. Then the pundits will start reinforcing it and it’ll get to a position where the owners feel they have no choice but to give it to him.

Hopefully Solksjaer and Lampard will be cautionary tales this year.

Not a fan. He should steer clear of Lingaard before he disappears up his own hole.

Their new signings look good, tbf. Maguire is a likeable player.

As long as they both lose to us twice and beat City twice, they can be Aesops tales and Duck tales for all I care.

This is absolute bollocks. Man poured his heart and soul into the club ffs.

And for people writing Gerrard off as a manager already, and acting as if there is some sort of footballing hipster movement that forces you to act as if you cannot bear even being associated with the thought of liking the man, you're being ridiculous.

I disagree with everything you have just said. Stop trying to be cool, Gerrard was me me me? Are you serious? He went to a club with a serious attitude problem, where they are like United, thinking "Our history is amazing so we deserve to win everything", but in reality, they were awful, Their players assume the league is a walk in the park and drop silly points as a result.

Gerrard is being smart, by keeping those players level headed, and making them realize they are not the rangers of old

gimli2112

One of the best feelings I had as a Liverpool fan was Rick Parry walking up to the Sky camera and saying "He's staying". Gerrard was a fantastic servant to the club and brought us success we didn't truly deserve. Fantastic career and incredibly loyal, in the end. Spent years worrying what would happen when he left. Fortunately Klopp happened.


I'm totally fine with Gerrard coming back and even making a hames of it. If we can get through Roy nothing else holds any fear.

In fairness you would probably have worded it can we threadban anyone who talks about Gerrard? Sometimes it's not what you say but how you say it.

shamrock55

I'd happily welcome stevie as a future manager, the guy always gave his all for the club and loves and knows it like no other, hopefully though this won't be on the cards for a number of years and that klopp stays with us for at least another 5/6 years and in the meantime stevie gains more managerial experience maybe even having a club or two more before coming back home

MD1990

I would love to see Gerrard as our manager. He stayed at the club when at times we were a poor side.

Doing a great job at Rangers. Comes across well in the media as well. Bit like Kenny has no time for stupid questions.
There is a weird attitude to Liverpool legends in this thread at times. Some were embarrassed because Dalglish was short with the media for instance.

That'd be a strange move - €20 million isn't much in the grand scheme of things and we aren't exactly flush with defensive options as it is. Lovren is probably 4th choice at the moment so I could understand if he wants to go, but given that Gomez is also our cover in the full-back roles, there just isn't a huge amount of options there.

Maybe Klopp really rates Hoever?

Surely not, we'd be left with 3 senior centre backs, 2 of which are injury prone and 1 of those 2 also being our primary right back cover.

brevity

I think Gerrard as a manager would be a disaster for the club to be honest.

Excellent player but his attitudes when moved to positions that he didn’t like, but was much more effective for him as a player and the team as a whole, leave a poor taste. It raises other questions too.

I think the whole ordeal would be dripping with emotions and history and that’s a recipe for disaster imo.

Id sell Lovren. Hoever and Sepp can't be any worse. I'd never have bought Lovren but I'd have sold him long ago. Never had any time for him.
