Klopp, guardiola, tuchel , that try hard from Leipzig. All the same sort of bullshit . If their tactics were that great they wouldn’t need to spend 600-700 million on a squad, a team that is yet to make it past the semis of the champions league (pep) or the team wouldn’t be so fragile after 3 first team injuries (klopp) or he wouldn’t struggle to win the champions league with an unlimited check book (tuchel)

Definitely.

Contrast with someone like Ancelotti at Everton. Not sure how many of us noticed as we put our foot through the telly, but he was calm as anything when that equaliser went in at our place. He doesn’t get overexcited. He doesn’t bitch and moan in interviews. He knows Everton’s level, what they’re good at, what they’re not etc and doesn’t make it all about himself.

As you’ve listed there, Klopp, Pep, Tuchel, Nagelsmann are the type I just can’t be arsed with. They’re good managers, ofcourse, but you can keep all the stone washed demin, philoso£#%&! constant crying. They’re like fake mates who hug when they meet even though they saw each other yesterday.

Arteta seems in that mould. Don’t like Hassenhutl either. Didn’t he cry recently when they beat Liverpool? Get a grip man, ffs.

For me, one of Ole’s best qualities. He’s a bit more ‘old school’. Doesn’t moan in the media, backs his players, doesn’t bounce up and down the touch line like a tit.

I don’t know how much of it is “look at me” the arm gesturing and bouncing , I don’t believe it has that much of an impact on the field. I understand tactics at half time and telling them to do something , but during the game when they wave their hand and jump , for me it’s for show and doesn’t have any impact on the game. Esp. When fans are in the stadium, how much of it do players actually hear?

Even LVG who is credited with looking at football with analytics . He wasn’t a jumpy moron on the touch line ( minus the Arsenal game) but even that was having a go at the ref rather than trying to micromanage thick as shit footballers from the touch line with 70k odd people screaming and shouting.

Might sound biased here being a united fan but I think motivating players outweighs tactics once you hit a certain level. One of the reasons Ferguson was so good was his ability to get players playing 20/30% better than they were.

It was only a couple of years ago that a relatively new friend did this to me for the first time.

I just stood rigid with embarrassment...i'll drink with you but don't £#%&!ing touch me.

At least nagelsmann is only 33 and wears stuff people his age wear. Klopp looks like he’s been dragged out of a cemetery and pep ffs least said the better. That £#%&!ing cardigan he slept in.

Great start, walked through the back line.

liverpool looking sluggish.

4-1.

and then alexander-arnold.

odd...why is Klopp wearing Adidas shoes when Liverpool are sponsored by Nike?

fantastic slide rule ball by James for the richarlison goal...love seeing Pool down 1-0 so early in the game

Persistent fouling by Liverpool.

Wonderful save that. Nailed on for a monumental #@&%! up at some point now to make up for it.

Would love Pickford to wipe out another one of theirs at the last today.

Hendo injured

Oh now this would be f***ing hilarious

Yep, hammy’s gone.

Shame...

Looks like Henderson has done his hamstring

Must be all that funny running

Hendo Hammy
