I have to admit, the man is totally getting on my tits now. Here's the latest round of bullshit to pour from his mouth:
Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp says it was 'not possible' for players to do better against Chelsea[/news
The Liverpool manager believes concerns about his side's game management are overblown
Jürgen Klopp denied that Liverpool have a problem with game management on Tuesday, claiming he cannot fault his players despite conceding a late goal to draw 1-1 with Chelsea last weekend.
Klopp’s side were pegged back by Willian at Anfield on Saturday after the Brazilian’s 85th-minute cross-cum-shot deceived goalkeeper Simon Mignolet and drifted in at the far post.
The draw with Chelsea came in the same week as the surrender of a three-goal advantage in a Champions League clash with Sevilla, leaving Klopp to ponder how his players dropped four points in the space of four days.

https://ind.pn/2zx9oBHI'll probably get flack from this from his cult of mindless woshipers but quite honestly if Brendan Rodgers came out with this rubbish the board would be full of outrage and people calling for his head. That doesn't mean I want Klopp fired, but it does mean I want an end to the constant stream of bullshit excuses that he comes out with, I want him to stop taking me for an idiot and I want him to recognise that A) there is a deep, structural problem with a team that cannot hold a lead, and B) that problem exists because too few of our players are good enough.
The stats don't lie. Since he took over, our goal difference is just +3 and we've let in 30 goals in the last 20 minutes of games. Compare that with City who have +34 with only 16 in the last 20, Arsenal with +30, Spurs with +21 and United with +17. In total, since he took over, we've conceded 100 goals, more than any other club. Like any other problem, you have to acknowledge its existence before you can deal with it. He needs to stop making excuses, acknowledge that we have a problem and take appropriate steps to deal with it.
