This has to be his biggest challenge. Klopp made winning the UCL seem easy, got the pl title the next year.
I love Pep but enough with the "trophy padding"! winning the cups and community shield just to say "hey at least we won this trophy". Its time he stops playing ignorant.
The CFG know why he is here,The fans know why he is here,The media know why he is here surely Pep has to know this also!
The challenge is to win the UCL. He hasn't done anything out of the ordinary! Statistics are just fancy numbers thrown around by statisticians, football manager addicts and the media. What really matters is winning! Yes he won the title with 100pts, Bobby won it at the last day and Slippy Gerrard helped Manuel win the title but guess what? they all did the samething! It could even be said that Bobby's title winning team outperformed every other team we have had, considering the fact that they had never won the pl title and they showed mental strength to go 8 games unbeaten, in other words they knew what had to be done and did what had to be done, how many times has Pep team showed mental weakness? Bottled winning the league in front of the rags, bottled the Spurs game, Totally fucked it last night.
Most of his signings seem like trying to fit a square peg in a round / circular hole, totally out of place!
Lets not lie to ourselves, yes we don't get the credit we deserve for winning the league by 100pts but the truth is the UCL would define Pep's legacy here.
Klopp has gotten to the finals three times in 7 years! If Pep can't get us to atleast 1 final then something just doesn't add up.
