The Footie Thread

[clubchamp98]

He had just been beaten by his biggest rival.
The reporter obviously got to him.
It’s a disagreement as the reporter says.
He might apologise but dought it.
To be honest it sounds like a Trump interview.
But that’s football it’s a disagreement and we all know how they usually pan out.

Liverpool fans relax, its hard to maintain the standards you held for 3 years in a row, almost impossible.

Many city faultered last year, this is simply your year of doing the same.

A good summer window, couple of fresh faces in and you'll challenge again. Have faith in Klopp, hes one of the good guys. I imagine the pressures are all just mounting on him a bit at the moment as now its expected that you'll win trophies - it wasnt 2 years ago.

Great league this year, fully enjoying Villa's performances, I miss being in those stands every week.

P.S 7-2... can't not throw that in there

Sure the reporter wasn’t to upset about his scoop.
He’s done his job well to get a reaction.
But Klopp might think he was wrong ,
You think he wasn’t ,that’s football.
Didn’t Pep take some stick last year for constantly saying they couldn’t catch Liverpool and conceding the title a bit early.
Klopp shouldn’t lose his temper but who cares really.

Since when are numerical facts a matter of opinion?

Klopp isn’t the problem, he’s a superb manager, it’s the cult following that can’t accept he’s just a human being.

Does it really matter ? Klopp had a rant - so what ? A Premier League manager having a rant and a pop is not exactly ground breaking news and it’s a situation that has been happening for 30 years.

In regards the 10/13 points maybe some lost in translation as City are 10 points ahead with a game in hand hence the comment “his understanding” or maybe not but does it really matter.

Well none of this actually matters, we might as well delete the thread and have done with if you're going to take that attitude.

When you have got them wrong ! Like Klopp.
As Phil says he’s counting the game in hand as can’t see City losing atm.

That’s just a kick in the nuts.

Personally think there is a massive difference between having a "rant" and belittling and being rude to someone doing their job

Like his attuide to the fixtures which whilst correct he took it out on the employee not the people who make the calls

It's like going to a restaurant .. finding out they decided to change the menu and having a go at the waiter..clearly his fault

Yeah I totally agree with that. People will excuse him saying it's a stressful job and tough being interviewed directly after the match and whatnot, but the guy asking the questions is just trying to do his job as well. If you ask a stupid question you deserve a short answer, but I don't think that was the case here - or the time when he harangued the BT guy for the BT schedule.

For me with Klopp it's the smiley, happy as Larry, toothy facade when things are going well. All jokey and "hey I'm so chilled". He irritates the hell out of me as it appears so false - think his true colours showed a bit more in that interview.

I'm biased but I can't recall Pep ever being so "jolly" whether we win, lose or draw. I do think he pretty much shows his true colours and doesn't play silly games.

Or maybe it's Klopp's dentist to blame

Maybe Peps just a better actor / media presence.
Reporters are just doing their job but if Klopp just said “no” there’s no story.
But no excuse for being so rude . Just watched it.
There all different .

I don’t like Pep spitting all the time he does it more than the players even when he’s sitting down.
Atm that’s a health hazard.

 

[Kellfire]

The leaked tape of Saliba is totally ridiculous. How does anyone get in that situation?

I'm not sure Pep knows how to display anything but geniune emotion BUT do agree about the spitting. It's weird how he seems to always have a teeny bit of spittle to get rid of. Could be a dry mouth caused by the stress of managing City but hey just swallow it!

 

[Rlburnside]

Don’t know what all the fuss is about Paul and fundys spat last night was a lot worse ? ?

 

[Slime]

The video was moderated because of a swearword in the tweet I think. Here is a new version without that:

Condescending, patronising and plain rude.

 

[Slime]

0-0 after 90 minutes ........................................... nothing to see here.

 

[Slime]

Ah, Scott McDominate, right on cue.

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Klopps mother has passed away and he is unable to attend the funeral due to Covid restrictions

Could explain his demeanour the other night

Sad news for him ?
