Has this been posted here yet? Apologies if it has.

That's brilliant.

Imagine no possessions.

No Scouse below us.

That's brilliant.

They missed a trick not using Sterling in the pic.

If Klopp was such a great manager would he allow his players to lose to an eventaully relegated Swansea four days after beating us ? That is some drop in performance and is directly attributable to the manager and his lack of ability to motivate his players , and similar results are prevalent throughout the Dippers recent history , LFC have no difficulty lifting their players for the big one-off games , but they simply can't and never will be able to match genuine title contenders for consistency . In a nutshell the Dippers are big time Charlies who actually regularly short change their devoted desciples who attend Klanfield. Maybe next year will be their year .

Klopp hasn't got anywhere near our budget - but gets Liverpool to the CL finals and nails down a top-4 spot in the PL.

Moreover, he's no dummy in tactics - nor in long term team management. He knows what Liverpool's weaknesses are and will improve his side next season.

Top manager.

He’s a great manager at what he does.
Press and counter, full on till they tire.

When they tire, they can’t keep the ball and are resigned to defending. And defending deep.

Against most teams, we are good at keeping the ball under pressure but v Liverpool, we struggle, due to their fantastic pressing.
When we Keep the ball better at that level, then we will be the best team on the planet.

Whilst potentially good news what is the purpose of mentioning our potential spend in the article and why no mention of what the dippers HAVE spent plus what they also intend to spend if its relevant? What axe does James Ducker have to grind?

 

[BlueAnorak]

Typical UEFA. No fecking punishment at all. Punishing the away club they play as well.
I bet Pep gets a heavier punishment for being correct.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Playing behind closed doors, with the threat of a ban if it happens again is about the best we can hope for, doubt uefa have the balls though.

 

[Kylep999]

Absolute bollocks, it should be an eye for an eye. If Liverpool manage to get to the quarter-finals next year, their home tie should be played in a neutral stadium, far away from Clanfield. One home tie played behind closed doors in the group stage is nothing, they'd still have 2 home ties and 3 away ties to qualify for the next round. It'd also more than likely be, the 1 home game played behind closed doors would be against poor opposition anyway.

Either they start the group stage with negative points, or if they manage to get to the quarters, their home tie is played at a neutral stadium. That should be the punishment given to them, not this slap on the wrist shite their fans will laugh at.

Not sure where this animosity is coming from honesty.

Probably you hate Liverpool - for reasons, as a person born and living in the states - I won't ever appreciate.

That aside - Klopp is a wonderful manager.

Liverpool's current owners won't spend anything like we will - they have a limited budget. The team Klopp took over was a mess.

Has he won the PL title in his tenure? Nope.

Will he before he leaves - probably not.

That said, he's a very solid manager, has improved his side tremendously, and honestly, given his budget, is doing far better than some run-of-the-mill manager (Rodgers, Dalgleish, etc.).

What the fuck are you talking about?

He spent nearly £340m and hasn’t won a bean.

If that makes him a wonderful manger, or is it solid manager, then I give up.

I’ll send you a link to RAWK if that’s what you want.

Liverpool face the threat of being forced to play a Champions League match behind closed doors next season with Uefa to determine on Thursday what punishment the Merseyside club will face over the disgraceful attack on Manchester City’s team bus last month.

Liverpool were swift to condemn the trouble but they may find themselves in hot water with Uefa, who could dish out a fine and warning or even order the club to play their first Champions League group game at Anfield next season in an empty stadium

I know this is too much to expect from UEFA , but can only hope !

 

[Bewar3them00n]

It’ll probably be “someone else’s fault” rogue Evertonians, hell bent on getting payback..... !

 

[Bluesince1979]

Love to think this could happen but i can only see a snall fine and ground closure suspended

 

[quiet_riot]

Pointless. Empty stadium against some minnows of timbuktu, and they win 4-0 anyway.

A ban is needed or they've basically got away with it.

 

[blue corby]

A ban in the early group games is pointless and is no punishment, although personally I think the most they will get is a fine and a warning .

 

[Champions again in 2012]

I think they also have a disciplinary case against them for fans behaviour against Roma
