Jürgen, please for the love of God, if we go 1 up and there's 15-20 minutes left in the match, can you please get TAA on and go 5 at the back. Start shutting up shop like every other team does in that situation.
We did set up shop and moved to five at the back.
Back five were Chamberlain - Gomez - Matip - Klavan - Moreno. In front of them Milner - Henderson - Wijnaldum - Coutinho and Salah as the forward. He clearly gestured on the side lines that he wanted us to set up 5-4-1 and even wanted to bring on Lallana too to put an extra body in midfield that can actually defend instead of Coutinho who was utter sh*t again today. Said it before and I stand by it, Coutinho can not play as a midfielder in our midfield three, certainly not in big games. It's the front three or the bench for me.
I love klopp but l began think he lose it playing milner in midfield and Henderson Christ both sh*t sorry but we need better midfield and defense still no better city win tommory we be 14 points behind league over we hard job get top 4 again out league cup no chance we win champion league only thing left is fa cup
Will you just be patient? Do people realise the schedule that is coming up? The amount of games that we have to play? We are playing again in 3 days time, we have to rotate. Conte rotated too. Pep has been rotating all season. We have Lallana coming back from injury, Chamberlain looked decent, though not spectacular today. That gives us more options and we won't have to play Milner there anymore. He's not losing it, he's trying to keep his squad fit for the upcoming schedule and making the best of what he
currently has at his disposal. Had Can not been injured today, Milner wouldn' have set foot on the pitch. We have plenty of options with everyone fit, we lacked options today due to injuries and players returning from injury.
Had we not conceded (we obviously did) we'd be talking about how it was a masterstroke that he managed to beat the chavs with the line-up he put out this afternoon.
Understand people's frustration and at times i am frustrated by Jürgen subs but talk of the sack is utterly ridiculous, replace him with who exactly, the utter hysteria that greats every draw or defeat now is embarrassing. Be careful what you wish for folks. Another period of transition, no thanks
I understand it too and I know people are tired of the "be patient" line and "look at next season", but in Klopp's case, it is what it is. If we manage to bring in Keita and Van Dijk and please God a replacement for Henderson we will look brilliant and will finally have a side that completely is a Klopp side. It's a process, it was said from the beginning when he was appointed as manager. He built up two clubs from the ground already in Mainz and Dortmund (who ironically gave up a four goal lead today against Schalke). He'll do the same for us.
Get top four, consolidate our position in the CL, add to the squad (3-4 players) and we're good to go.
