1) how good is Klopp tactically
Fantastic, judging by the fact we've got the best record against the best managers I thought that would be obvious. Also we create almost the most amount of chances, concede one of the least amounts of shots on target in the entire league. All pointing to his tactical prowess. A manager cannot coach out individual mistakes, he cannot make a striker clinical once a chance presents itself. He could buy better players, that's for sure but in terms of tactics his are usually spot on.

2) how good is Klopp at coaching
Brilliant, by far the best in the world in my opinion. More players will improve under him than any other coach around, it's what he believes in more than most of the other top coaches.

3) does he see his teams weakness
Considering his top two targets in the summer were Keita and VvD that should answer itself and when we get VvD and Keita you'll see a much more balanced and cohesive unit.

4) does he see his opponets weakness
Again, we create the most chances, or thereabout, so the answer to this should be obvious. Also we have one of the highest possession stats, seems to me to point towards a good understanding of where they can be exploited and where we can gain advantage.

5) what was is finest moment at Liverpool
Taking us to the Europa League final by producing a breathtaking performance against Borussia Dortmund so far. Or dumping the Mancs out of Europe, both fantastic.

6) was the answer tio 5 down to him?
Without question, the first was the feeling in the crowd, the emotion and belief which he brought with him and which powered us through that first season in the cups. The second, well when you consider our record against any of the top 6 prior to him arriving then dumping the Mancs out of Europe has to be down to him.

Some genuine questions so genuine answers please.
1) how good is Klopp tactically
Seems a bit average so far. We seem to play one way whether we are 5-0 up, chasing a game, or looking to see a game out. Scratch that, we have never tried to see a game out under Klopp. He has struggled with bus parkers for the most part since he's been here, so that also tells me his tactics aren't working too well.

2) how good is Klopp at coaching
We are terrible in defence and set pieces, and have been since his first day here. That said, I don't know as I'm not at Melwood but going by the performances on the pitch, I'd say it's fair to say the coaching isn't reaping the rewards we'd hoped for. Or I'd hoped for.

3) does he see his teams weakness
I think so. I hope so. He wanted VvD and Keita so yes I think he's clued up on it. I think his loyalty to players and probably more so, his determination to do it his way leaves him tripping himself up.

4) does he see his opponets weakness
Hard to say. Against the top 5 teams, yes? Against the other 14, no.

5) what was is finest moment at Liverpool
Silverware aside, it has to be the 4-3 Dortmund semi-final game. But to be honest, for me he hasn't had one. Two cup final defeats don't count. LFC is about winning trophies.

6) was the answer tio 5 down to him?
Not sure. Against Sevilla, I think the players let him down. They bottled it. Against City, it was a penalty shootout and anything can happen then. That said, any manager who has ever picked 11 players has to take some share of the blame.
THIS is what I Love about this forum... One set of question asked and two different points of view posed....Neither of them right and neither of them wrong. Just different opinions and points of views...
Thank you Brian 78 for posing the questions and thank you Luke and Rush for your answers
