Which is why klopp will never truly be considered in the ‘world class’ bracketThe thing that sets Pep apart is that winning the league is not the incentive behind this run. It is just about having that hunger and desire to be the best and win every game regardless of who we play or what competition it is.
Pep will be making damn sure that even when its sewn up those levels don't drop. He will rotate 5 players here or there as he has done and expect the players to still fight for every single win.
We might want to see an academy 11 so that we are fresh for the CL but Pep will see the winning mentality as just as vital as fresh legs. I don't expect him to start resting players, that's just not him.
The title is done. I never thought I would say that before it was mathematically certain, but we don't have a challenger. Even if the rags were 2pts behind they'd be too limp to make a fight of it.
I sort of got that last season; the prize if winning the league was too great for his domestic focus to be elsewhere. By the time Liverpool were pretty much guaranteed the league they were out if the Cups, but he’s carried that MO on this season too.Which is why klopp will never truly be considered in the ‘world class’ bracket
Top managers want to win every game. GPC , wenger, maureen (years ago) all collected FA and league cups along the way. They still wanted to win every cup
Klopp throws the domestics
Hes done it each season. He cant cope on all fronts.I sort of got that last season; the prize if winning the league was too great for his domestic focus to be elsewhere.

He has, but if were him, I’d have done exactly the same last season, and if that means I’m not a true winner, then I guess I’ll have to live with that!Hes done it each season. He cant cope on all fronts.
true winners want the lot.
Is it a choice thing tho? Could pep , by choice, throw a cup? I dont think soHe has, but if were him, I’d have done exactly the same last season, and if that means I’m not a true winner, then I guess I’ll have to live with that!
Absolutely no chance of that happening mate, he will always play to win no matter what..Is it a choice thing tho? Could pep , by choice, throw a cup? I dont think so
Careful potential media narrative when we win there, ‘the mighty man United form helps cross town team win league at a canter’ with a nice picture of brunoGets lower every time the rags play a match strangely.
when we beat Liverpool comfortably at home at the end of last season, message was crystal clear to the players and fans and was said by Pep & Raz in the post match comms - Next Season Starts Now! i remember thinking wow these players have been put on notice.He has, but if were him, I’d have done exactly the same last season, and if that means I’m not a true winner, then I guess I’ll have to live with that!
Our run there is just farcical. Discount our 1st 14 games, and we would still sit 8th in the league overall, above Spurs on GD.
No. That was my pointIf the Rags had been in our position would they have left them out?
Isn't there now a tradition that you use fireworks to set fire to a famous local landmark if you win the Premier League. I am sure Mario will supply the fireworks, we just need a Bluemoon poll to decide the building :-)Personally I think this all a big conspiracy so that City win the Premier League whilst the country is still in full lockdown, and we can't even do a Liverpool and set fire to all the Rag statues whilst wearing balaclavas and standing on Police vans.

Of course it's a choice.Is it a choice thing tho? Could pep , by choice, throw a cup? I dont think so

Don’t for a minute think he threw it, but Pep certainly learned from his first season when he played a second string team in the League Cup away at the Swamp and we lost 1-0. He (deservedly) got a bit of stick about that as the Scum went on to win it that season. In effect, we gifted that shower of shite a trophy.Is it a choice thing tho? Could pep , by choice, throw a cup? I dont think so
And you are 100% correct, it makes my blood boil how we are treated by all the media.No. That was my point
I know I'm being a jobsworth, but Wenger never won the League Cup.Top managers want to win every game. GPC , wenger, maureen (years ago) all collected FA and league cups along the way.
