It’s one thing beating Leeds 7-0 but there are plenty of stubborn teams that city will face this season, and their lack of a proper number 9 will haunt them. Still can't see past Chelsea myself. Based on the fact that I think Liverpool's relatively small squad will be their undoing. Then as you say, Man City missing a proper goal scorer will probably cause them to drop points they shouldn't drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NasPb Posted 15 December 2021 Share Posted 15 December 2021 I don't like klopp as a manager but he seems way more genuine than pep. Pep is overrated. It's easier to do what he does than what klopp has done. That's facts. And at least klopp doesn't make these half arsed "compliments" that don't mean anything 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nalis Posted 15 December 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 15 December 2021 Klopp usually moans about the ref and opposition players going in too hard rather than styles of play. Pep is a head patter when he wins and a sulker when it comes to opposition style of play when he loses. Both are awful but in different ways. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klopp has been unbearable since Liverpool started winning. They were intolerable when they were giving it large but winning fvck all but now they do, he's becoming as worse as Fergie was for Utd in terms of moaning about everything. It's the cost of winning, I guess. I understand several managers are advised to deflect away from players to protect them which is fair, but both Klopp and Pep constantly do this even when it's quite clear it is their own players failing as opposed to anything else.

Classic case in point was the shameful attack on Hamza to deflect from the Mane dive to win them the game. So clear and obvious what he was up to but the media didn't call him out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's probably an extent to which we have to begrudgingly admit that a certain amount of that is likely the the parts of their psychology that make them the best, though. And there's no doubting they are two of the absolute best in the world. As was Ferguson for a time, as was Mourinho for a time. Its likely not a coincidence that you'd name all of them as absolute pricks (Simeone, there's another one) while guys like Ranieri, Pellegrini, Benitez, etc are universally regarded as gentlemen and never hit the same heights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicesterpool Posted 15 December 2021 Share Posted 15 December 2021 Bielsa would do a decent job with his tactics at a Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea or even man u with the playing staff and extra funds hed have but at Leeds, I dont think his style is suiting the squad he has there. Not strong enough defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A proper leader, good footballing brain and demands the highest standards. He’s got that rough edge where players probably wouldn’t push their luck but also probably quite like him. I remember listening to the Peter crouch podcast and hearing how as a player, he made everyone step up. His standards were so high that the excellent becomes expected and not just a moment... sounds like the type of personality that will get the best out of players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
