Parky

It's either all a front or he's wildly deluded with little grasp on reality. We're currently not creating more than 2/3 chances a game to score and we're sitting too deep which is killing 2 out of our supposed front 3. We actually play 451 for round 80% of matches. I'd be interested to see how much Sis and Winj play in our own half...The reason is that both our holding CM's rarely carry the ball forward with menace so our wide am/f pick up the ball too deep and have to do all the work. This whole scenario is compounded by a striker with no pace which means we rarely turn a defence with one or two quick passes out.

As HTT says the whole season hangs on three rookies to the league with two of them barely out of nappies.

If we're playing as a counter side then the forward and the auxiliary forward have to have pace. Neither Mitro, Onelung, Cisse or Ayoze have pace. Also if the two players with pace are picking up the ball on the half way line then the opp have time to organise. It's all wrong.

Those two Watford lads are a good package if you consider the demands of the PL. Pace, power and determination. Proper scary. You either have to be an instinctive finisher or have pace and power. The strikers who are have neither have to be in a dominating side who play high up and keep the ball. He's on a hiding to nothing.

Got a bit of a stare on him innit.

He built a legacy at Barça. I don't think there's ever been a more influential manager in hour history, and I'm including Cruyff here. Guardiola has always said that he wants to be at different places throughout his career, so he's not going to remain many years at the same club. Are you sure about this? Isn't Cruyff the colossus at Barca? Pretty sure he oversaw the transitions through styles and managers...

Yeah it's early days. If he gets time then we're looking at at least 2 windows before we know what is what..Think the PL is going to be much harder than the Bundesliga mainly because almost anyone can beat you on their day.

Think they fell short tactically and competitively today. They need to buy half a team (again). But they don't have the huge financial edge they had in days gone by.

Jesus balls hoiked over the top for Origi to chase.

Like the Watford left back.

Should have been 3.

The difference is that nowadays nearly every team in the PL can beat you and they all have 3/4 good players.

Kluesless.

Another rude awakening on the cards today.

Ayoze and Mitro should be starting. Both hungry and with plenty of bite and guile. Instead he starts the sleeper and the dreamer.

Nearly everything goes down the right cause Dummett is rubbish and rarely overlaps or interchanges with purpose. You can see Wij in acres of space miles away from the ball.

The primadonas also play up against the elite sides for the camera and the shop window. Other than that I agree with Wullie.

Need to get rid. Looks asleep.

Proper Sith Lord. I'll miss his antics in the PL.

The players start to resent all the high intensity and the focus...They get jaded and overworked the poor flowers.

Two tricky games coming up.

It's a bit foolhardy to come to Liverpool and start almost from day one to criticise the atmosphere, the support and then go into his faux circus act. This ISN'T GERMANY KLOPP!

I don't think the players really wanted to do it, especially after such a pitiful performance...It looked awkward. It's Anfield not the fukin circus.

Cause its a load of old pony fake shit innit. German football is riddled with all this glad handing, back slapping, grinning nonsense. Almost like they are over compensating for lack of personalities.

This stuff about the support is a distraction isn't it..? He's beginning to realise this isn't going to be easy. Moaning about the support for 2/3 weeks then doing the in arms thing smacks of delusion and the kind of messianic complex prevalent in Germany. Today was the first real sign of a chink in his armour and wagging his finger at Pulis instead of shaking hands was unsporting, especially as they only gained a draw with a deflected goal in the 96th min. Only the other day they spent half the game going long to Benteke. Think the PL can be shock in the sense that results at elite clubs have to be almost instantaneous. We'll ideally see the panic buy of 2/3 Krauts at vastly inflated fees. The clock has started. I might have a chance.
