Klopp's inability over the years to refuse to change his tactics blows my mind for such a good manager. Yet again tonight you lot lined up with a suicidal line and pressed Madrid as if you were 2018 Liverpool and got spanked for it. If he wants to run that maniac pressing system he better have the legs for it, which he clearly doesn't. Made no sense and even then you got off to the best possible start jumping on them.

Could live with a Ramos/Kolo-Muani with him

I noticed BT lost one of the 3 Liverpool fans at HT, bet Rio will be on his own by FT
Yeah he will probably laugh his head off when he gets back in the car,well that's if it's not on bricks
Klopp is one trick pony tactically. He's exceptional at what he does, but he doesn't have way to change to wingback system for example to make better uses of his wing backs (not as good defensively, but still an asset offensively). Or a pseduo 4-4-2. Too rely on pressing, so can't move from 4-3-3.
Benzema in the PL would certainly make the scousers foam at the mouth and shit their pants at the same time
Yeah could have virtually a full squad to pick from apart from Eriksen which we haven't been able to say for few years
Think they might well be the best team in the world right now but the CL isn't about being the best over a season, it's about being the better than 1 opponent 7 different times. Experience matters for a lot, the ability to be at your best when it matters...
Ultimately probably won't matter here because eintracht are just overmatched, but tonight was a game they should have won by more than 2 goals and effectively killed the tie

Well we have two of his old team mates
Has this been discussed yet?
Oh yeah guarantee they turn into prime Barcelona against us,what I would give to boss them like City did in that 4-1 last season
Very apt indeed
Congratulations on your smash and grab
For a United fan, you seem very upset that Liverpool lost.
Tomorrow's time to cheer for Guardiola's City i guess.
Do you mean the one in 2020/21 when there were no fans at games? Last year both games were 2-2 draws.
He’s right. That entire backline besides Robertson has been crap defensively for a bit now. Allisson finally had a bad game as well when he’s normally the one bailing them out
"This Liverpool defence who we've been told for years have got some of best players in the world"
Well who do you think is partly responsible for that notion you plonker? I can't listen to half the shit he talks.
Got them at 11-1 yesterday
I loathe both teams equally. I can't understand any football fan wanting Real Madrid closer to any more CL trophies
It feels like a vindication of all my past posts on the subject
Stats nonces putting faith in this xG shite, instead of evaluating what they’re seeing with their own two eyes, never fails to make me chuckle.
Ah yeah same season we drew 0-0 at Anfield
Yeah the one that started our run of not being able to score in open play at home. Our following six home games were losses I think.
As a Chelsea fan I’m not in any position to laugh at Liverpools poor season but defensively they are woeful. Madrid weren’t particularly great but they let them walk through.
Tbf defense is the one things we've still got left to brag about.
Remarkably we've got the joint 2nd best record in the league.
Absolutely. The mighty premier league!
You can and you should, even if your team is doing poorly, never stop enjoying your opponents' troubles. Otherwise only the winning teams would be enjoying themselves
Liverpool are now 0W 1D 6L against Real Madrid since their 4-0 win at Anfield 14 years ago.
It does my head in when it's used as the sole criterion for games.

I bet that Liverpool game brought back memories for Karius. The same fixture he made a mistake in and then the 2 keepers last night made mistakes.
Yeah I want Napoli to win it all this year.
But they’re so convinced he only has eyes for them. I thought that signing was nailed on. #FSGin
He's a football fan first and foremost.
A lot of understandable attention is given to Osimhen/Kvara but Anguissa also deserves a lot of credit. He has turned into a monster of a player
Just been watching the highlights. Muani's red card for Frankfurt was super harsh.
Vinicius Junior has developed into a really fantastic footballer to watch, and Modric is still so classy.

I don’t understand Carragher saying they need new defenders. So he’s saying they need to replace , Trent. Robertson, Konate and VVD ? Can’t see Klopp replacing any one of them.
What they need is a proper coach. ETH is the prime example. He’s made Shaw, AWB, Dalot and even Linderloff into brilliant players. Carrahger use to say, “you can’t just throw money at it.” How things have turned on its head!
Nah, he's not "turned into", he's been a monster of a player for years
VVD, Trent, Robertson and Gomez. Sad Smile.
Fecking brilliant. In your face ya scouse, in your bin dipping face.
That's almost too cruel, but ....
. Thanks for posting NIfaN. Bats eyelids.Since last season at least. At Fulham, he wasn't this good nor consistent
I mean what they need is to stop being sentimental and replace many of the "boys" with newer replacements but Klopp notoriously doesn't do that. Realistically it's not really the defenders fault (besides Gomez and Matip, both of them are crap). Klopp KNOWS Trent is a terrible defender but he still insists on a suicidal high line without the midfielders that have sufficient legs to cover and help tracking back.
It's the same shit he pulled with Dortmund and the reason they were in the relegation zone for half of the season his final year there. You can't preach and play this freakishly intense pressing style for years on end without constantly replacing players or adjusting your style. I actually think Liverpool would be a pretty good team on the counter if they tweaked their setup and sat back more in a deeper formation, but he's either too naive or too arrogant to do so.
