Has Klopp done well? Yes
Has he made mistakes? Yes
Have all managers made mistakes? Yes
Do I agree that Leicester won't effect title race? Not sure
Klopp said no effect, that's what I am arguing.
You're misunderstanding the point he's making. Klopp's point isn't that the Leicester game has no effect (that's something you've said, not him), it's that the other 37 games are just as important.
If you say we lost it at Leicester, why not at Everton, Arsenal, West Ham, Chelsea, Man Utd or what about the loss and draw to City? It's like saying if we do win the league we did so at Arsenal in December, those three points were more important than the other 97 (or whatever we end up with) for some reason. It's a simplistic, reductionist argument that holds no weight whatsoever.
As for Clyne there's absolutely nothing to suggest we'd have picked up more points with him than without. In fact as others have pointed out it could have had the opposite effect, who knows.
I don't get why we're discussing where we may possibly have lost the league before it's even over, or maybe more importantly why I feel the need to respond...
We're pushing one of the best teams in recent history for the title, and we're in yet another Champions League semi. No, Klopp isn't perfect, but he's the best man for the job and I have absolutely nothing to complain about. If we do miss out on trophies yet again I'll be bitterly disappointed but if you can't see the direction this team is heading you don't deserve to come along on the ride. ENJOY IT!
