[Albion] Klopp offering to "send us the points"

[giveusfalmerplease]

Interesting and valid argument on BBC sport about Liverpools schedule. They played Sunday then Wednesday and again against us on the early kickoff next week. Obviously there have been times when we've done that but Liverpool have been doing it since September every week. Hence he suggest he might as well send us the points as he expects to lose (!) anyway.

Tbh, I'd accept a point off him right now!!

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Fine. I can drive them down as I live pretty close to Liverpool.

 

[Icy Gull]

Nice try Jurgen, you are playing a team whose stars cost less than some of your not ready youngsters.

In fact you binned the player who is possibly our best player, because you couldn’t give him game time.

Move over Harry Redknapp, your replacement has arrived

Jurgen “bare bones” Klopp

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

I'm lighting a candle for Liverpool's lose

must be a sign of how well we have improved. few years ago he might have said it would affect their goal difference as they might only win 2-0 instead of 5-0!

 

[herecomesaregular]

yeah right Jurgs, only scraped past Leicester last night....

Meanwhile many of us continue to struggle in the real world business hangs by a thread and yet we got to feel for a player who gets injured on £80,000 grand a week nope me neither jog on clip clop

Leicester were apparently playing Liverpool at the right time.How did that work out for them?

As much as he has a point regarding the Weds/Sat playing taking its toll, these are professional athletes so they aren't dead on their feet just yet.

Perhaps he will play some fringe players, but lets be honest, Liverpools squad players are probably a match at least for us, and they wont have played two games a week .

 

[Stat Brother]

Are they home or away on Wednesday?

If they're away I might raise my level of believability by 1%.
Up too...









...1%.

I used to like Klopp, but he seems to be a tedious whinner now, like Mourinho - you just have to accept as one of the top sides in the country you will play more games. Hence you spend millions on squad players and scoop up all the good young players for your reserves!

I've an idea, let's give the title to Liverpool and a bye to the Champions League Final, that way his players will be nice and fresh and will have no excuses. As an added bonus we then won't have to listen to his constant moaning!

same old boring debate from managers playing in Europe and domestic league. yes Klopp, you play twice a week, you also have the funds for two first class XI, while the rest of the league do not.

 

[warmleyseagull]

Great kidology; we all know their 2nd XI would be better than our first, which is why the top 6 dominate the cup competitions now.

I may be daft, but I dont entirely get his argument; two games a week has been the norm for European qualifiers for years; OK, it is perhaps a tad more intense now but by degree rather than quantum change. It is not just (or even) Sky & BT to blame, it is also the CL scheduling that goes Weds-Tues (they play Ajax on 1/12). So if our game were on Sunday, they have 48+ hours before Ajax, that is no good. Has to be Sat and is he really serious that playing at 12.30 is materially different to 1500 or later?

Personally, I'm happy Liverpool beat Leicester, and I hope they beat Atalanta (albeit in a bruising encounter). Need Liverpool to be thinking they can continue to compete on multiple fronts, at some point they won't be able to keep up the pace. I hope it's Saturday.

Klopp right to be making the noises he's making

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I think he's got a valid point about tv scheduling. Many of us moaned when we were given the Monday 17.30 slot.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Yes Juergen, you really have a terrible team. It must be very hard for you.....

Don't worry Jurgen. I am sure the Premier League will let you choose the officials you want again!

Looked really leggy as they brushed aside Leicester last night.....................
