    Klopp is able to get the absolute max out of players, and keep them going to absolute very end.

    Meh.

    Leicester had even more injuries. And a smaller squad to begin with. Reeling them in was good, but you make it sound like The Greatest Story Ever Told!

    Liverpool players missed significantly more games/days than anyone else. Think Palace were actually second, with Sheffield Utd 3rd, and after that came the likes of Leicester, Everton, and Burnley.

    Agreed otherwise though, Klopp's well off manager of the year this year. It was an impressive fightback, but he'd be behind Moyes, Bielsa, Dyche, Rodgers and Pep I think.

    You have to laugh at the sight of Ole in there, like that guy who used to sneak in with teams and pose with players for the photos before big games...

    Incidentally, the "bossing it" reference. It's like an ad for Paddy Power. Will the winner be "totally stoked"?

    They finished 2nd like. Who would have picked them for 2nd? Would I have him as a clear 5th in that list? Yeah, but I think a Liverpool fan making the case for Klopp or a Villa fan making the case for Smith would be using some serious fan goggles.

    For getting the second most expensive squad to second is fine.

    But hardly manager of the season material.

    Klopp had plenty of injuries, but he chose to play Fabinho in the back and weaken his midfield for quite a few games, when he wasnt sure about the young defenders.

    At the time, it was madness, your defence is already weakened, so why weaken another part of the pitch.

    Their form immediately took an upturn once he went back into midfield, but he doesn't enter into the conversation for manager of the season to be honest/

    Pep, Tuchel, Rodgers, Moyes, Smith and even Ole are all ahead imo for this season. Klopp is a better manager than at least 3 of them, and and as good if not better than the other 2 in general though, but this season he's not

    That's fairly honest assessment

    pretty spot on.

    on this season, you can't have Klopp anywhere near it.

    it bore out that he should never have moved Fabinho into defence. fair play to him for fixing it before it was too late, but for that move along, he has to be disqualified, no matter how impressive the late season fightback was.
