So why didn't Rafa do that first time around?
I sat through all of it, went all the Champions League games and was in Istanbul. Sorry but his time has come and gone.
Jürgen has won both with slightly better resources than Rafa had, but even he has one arm tied behind his back competing with City, same way Rafa was competing with Utd and Chelsea.
Rafa did that and in the end was forced to sell players which ended us but even then his worst is better than what we have here
Rafa had far far less resources in comparison to the big teams than klopp has had
But most importantly Rafa is ruthless enough to bring in players or at least try and does not keep players out of only loyalty when they should be gone
Compare our current season to rafas last, even with Rafa forced to sell players to pay interest and then buy someone under the condition it had to spread over years, we were better than what we are now
Our issues today is due to klopps decision making, make no mistake about it, he still refuses to buy midfield players. it’s now cost us cl football, there is no excuse, he sanctioned our last buy, it’s bollocks we don’t have money, we always seem to have it for strikers but not midfield players
Klopp could have used the money on a midfield player instead of a striker
The excuses are our attackers are injured, still blind to our actual issues in midfield
It’s done, the club is always bigger than the manager and I have faith we will come back under a new manager and team. It’s how football works, nothing last forever, klopp is a legend and always will be but like wenger and Jose, it’s time for the next generation who can adapt to take the reigns
