THIS isn’t going to prove popular because Jürgen Klopp is universally loved by Liverpool fans young old and new. For the majority of supporters; desperate that Liverpool become successful again, and in particular successful under this magnetic, “cool” personality, he...
SO there you are. Jürgen Klopp can’t work miracles. He isn’t Jesus and he can’t walk on water. He hasn’t got magic dust. Liverpool aren’t title contenders right now. All the stuff he’d already told the world on his arrival at Anfield two weeks and two months ago. He...
VERY poor wasn’t it? From back to front. A keeper who can’t catch, a defence who can’t clear, a midfield who can’t pass and a forward line that can’t even stand onside. Baffling how clueless they were. How easily they were dragged down to...
