No ... if the players can't be bothered anymore that is well and truly on them. Their attitude stinks. If Jürgen doesn't sort it in the summer then that will be on him.
But im sorry ... stop protecting these cowards who have downed tools and put that on the manager. The players are to blame ... they've gone from champs to chumps that are the laugh of rival fans and they have not got anything within them so show any pride. Jürgen takes some of the blame as do the owners but this last 3 months is on the players end of story.
Disagree.
Jürgen has persisted with the same players over and over even if they’re painfully out of form. Thats his style of management where he builds relationships and trust with his players, but if they aren’t performing then how long does it take to drop them?
Bobby is the best example. He should have been hooked from the side a long time ago, yet he plays week after week.
The last dozen or so games have almost been identical. We see a lot of the ball but we create next to nothing. Thats Jurgens job to change system or tactics to find a way to win. Yet we deploy the same tactics every week and keep getting the same outcome.
It’s also on klopp to make decisions mid game too. Some of his decisions of late have been baffling. More recently subbing salah when we were losing against Chelsea. Bizarre.
When you’re in a rut like we are then you throw everything out the window and start again. Go back to basics. First thing is you make yourselves hard to beat. Concentrate solely on not losing the game. If that means we have to change systems or play much more defensively then so be it. Clean sheets and taking points builds confidence and it’s something to build on.
The point being, Jürgen is also part of this current mess and it’s not just on the players or the owners. A coach of his standard I would expect him to handle this situation much better in truth. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to come out with ludicrous shouts like he needs to leave like some other idiots have. He has earned plenty of time to sort this mess out. I’m talking years if necessary and there’s some dick heads wanting him out after two months.
Going to be great when we win the league next season. I’d say I’d quote a few people in here and embarrass them but I’ll be too busy on the ale in town.
