[Albion] Klopp - generous or patronising?

[Not Andy Naylor]

Did anyone else find it a little patronising when Klopp said he was happy that his team didn't take more of their chances because 'Brighton wouldn't have deserved that'?

If we'd lost 6-0 then yes, I think we'd all agree that we would have deserved it. I don't know whether we want rival managers feeling sorry for us.

Klopp is becoming a boring, egotistical **** these days

Wonder what he might be like if trounced 5-0 in the Champions League final

 

[blockhseagull]

Although I get your point, I don’t care what Klopp thinks about us anymore that your average Palace ‘ultra’

I do find Klopp as irritating as Jose if I’m honest and that comment sums him up I think.

 

[Wozza]

Yes, I was thinking the same.

On the fence here....Let's ask Mick McCarthy:

He did specifically say that Mat Ryan wouldn't have deserved that - and on that I'd agree.

I assumed it was a bit of a peace offering type statement after (inadvertently?) angering Hughton when they walloped us at the Amex.

Plus its really easy to be magnanimous when you've taken the opposition to school, guaranteed a top four finish, had two players score their first goals for the club, escaped with no injuries and having everybody firing and in form for a champions league final in two weeks time.

Anyway, it's probably quite easy to read it as patronising but I doubt that was the intent.

Well said.

Relieved that we didn't threaten at all. With our three attacking players and our best defender dropped he did not want any unpleasant surprises. He should be grateful and he was.

 

[Biscuit]

I don't have an enormous under-dog chip on my shoulder so I didn't read it as patronising at all,

In the context of Matt Ryan's brilliant goal keeping performance then absolutely, he wouldn't have deserved it.

Great performance from Ryan, let down by others.

 

[Southern Scouse]

I think the OP is being slightly unfair. When you speak a second language it is very common to say too much, ie keep throwing stones until the message is understood. What he meant was, Brighton did not deserve to lose by more than four goals. That’s it....
Unlike, the vast majority of managers, I struggle to recall when he has tried to sleight, play mind games or demean any other manager and I listen to most of how public appearances.
Why would he try and antagonise a club he has just scored four goals against two weeks before a European Cup final against Real Madrid? Completely unnecessary and baseless post, in my opinion of course.

To be honest, I find it quite funny how much fans try and take offence at things like this. He was complimenting Maty Ryan (rightly so). We weren't at the races, never tested them and looked like we were on the beach. Let's take a mild mannered comment from their manager for what it is and move on.

I like Klopp.

I think that Klopp has been a breath of fresh air, although he sometimes farts a bit loud when he shouldn’t.

Everyone would be crying had he said Brighton got off lightly losing by 4 and not by a cricket score . People take offence at everything these days

Man says something nice.

 

[Hungry Joe]

I like Klopp.

Me too.

 

[el punal]

Honestly, some people get so precious on here. The bloke said nice things about us and that’s fair enough. What would have happened if he said that we were absolutely tonked, were mediocre opposition and that we didn’t deserve to be in the Premier League?
