Expect the Egyptian vertigo sufferer to announce he's staying immediately prior to CL final.

Ha yes and we'll announce Pep"s leavng and the Haaland deal has fallen through.

Just think of all those scousers with there passport out of date trying to get to Paris they’ll be buying dinghies to get there.

If they do hopefully they'll get diverted to Rwanda.

I think he won't. Origi is going but they are still to heavy up front. No way the yanks are paying wages for 2 strikers to be on the bench all season.

Then when he does leave it will just continue with his assistant, the Dutch guy, who is just an extension of him and indoctrinated into the Klopp philosophy.

I don't think it's a given that Lijnders would be a success if he took over. There's plenty of examples of good assistant managers failing when they take over the reigns. Not that it really matters, as it's few years yet before they have to make that decision. Obviously Klopp extending is a boost for them (as it will be for us when Guardiola extends again here), but I don't think it will have any impact on this season as some have suggested.

It would be a mistake,Mane is only half the player without Salah assists,in fact Salah has as many assists as Mane goals 13 to 14 and Mane has only 2 assists.
It's easy to see who is the most valuable of their front players.

I know where you are coming from. Yet to do it the dippers need to break their wage structure massively

But! But! But! We are all just bitter ha ha

They make out that they have save football from the nasty Man City. Please City! save us all from the Kopite Cult.

The narrative is so obvious. Nice wholesome good guys Liverpool and big nasty oil club Man City.

Yeah absolutely,either way it will have a huge impact.
Give in to his wage demands and it will dramatically alter their squad wage bill going forward,let him go and on the field they will be considerably weakened.
Hopefully it will be the latter.

Of course Pep needs to stay, but even he has to take note, change and adapt from time to time. He gets bogged down with over managing and going into this season without a striker - for whatever reason (and yes a shiny new Haaland would be nice next season), has to some extent aided and abetted this quad high possibility. I wonder if all the moral sentimentalists and rest experts will still be defending the FA semi team selection after the game in Paris, if Liverpool are parading the quad cups.

I am mostly impressed with Pep's ability to adapt. When he left Barcelona he was all about posession. He had some problems with fast, direct play in Germany, but a couple of years later he'd adapted the defense and managed to incorporate some fast, direct attacking in to his own team.

When he moved to England, he was hell bent on playing from the back. But after being punished by high pressing, he adapted and now City will play that ball behind the first press when the situation is right.

About Pep's overthinking, maybe there is something to it. But then again, I don't remember people complaining when he came out with a back five and beat Liverpool a couple of years back. It's easy to cherry pick the bad parts and over analyze.
