Actually a ton of people have said it's not a good enough squad (at least when Brendan was in charge) and made the point that Brendan had not assembled a good enough group of players to actually win anything.
They did indeed FL.. tons and effing tons; the posts are there for all to see but to be fair, people then changed their minds and then... they changed them back again, then... back again (depending on results) so it's easy to forgive anyone who's become confused on the subject.
I'm one who doesn't believe we have enough "ready-made" quality to win titles [which is the holy grail, for me] - I've mentioned that often enough. I 'knew' that, irrespective of how brilliant Jürgen is, he wouldn't and couldn't change that 'fact' so I had no need to flip-flop or hurt myself in a scramble for 'answers'.
What I will say is; as much as the lads deserve praise for fantastic performances, in the knock-out stages - in my opinion, Jürgen Klopp deserves huge credit for instilling belief and an infectious positivity every time it's been needed.
Something which rubbed off on me to by the way - [check out my posts on these games] - I just F***ing 'knew' and I can, hand-on-heart say: that was down to Jürgen.
I had the added bonus of having £6 on a 3 nil win @ 11/1 so all's good - Well in lads.
