Jürgen Klopp - Liverpool Legend

I think Milly would be great, but does lack experience but nothing seems to phase him

I don’t want Jurgen back, just because he wears his heart on his sleeve and puts more pressure on himself.

What I do feel though, is Jurgen would have found the right words to use the passing of Jota to get the players fired up in the right way to come out firing in the memory of Diogo.

While the losses of TAA and Jota are beyond our control, Slot and management bear the full responsibility over Diaz’s departure.

Diaz wanted to go. Although we could have kept him, we have form for not keeping players against their wishes. In the grand scheme of things I think that helps us, rather than hurts us. Players come to Liverpool knowing that we are a professional outfit who will treat them well, in good times and bad.

Diaz wanted out, so we allowed it and extracted a good price for him. I can live with that, even if he is a very good player.

Yes thats an inevitable side effect of charismatic leaders, but its that which I think we miss, and am now leaning to the idea, poor Slot has been served this too, and someone has changed the club too much too fast. Slot isnt the same type of manager as Klopp in a key sense; he isnt charismatic. And cant therefore fill the hole.

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool lost a total of 6 Premier League games at Anfield between 2018 and 2024. Here are the details:

  • 2018-2019: 1 loss
  • 2019-2020: 0 losses (they won the title with 99 points)
  • 2020-2021: 3 losses (including a 7-2 thrashing by Aston Villa)
  • 2021-2022: 0 losses (they won 2nd place with 92 points)
  • 2022-2023: 2 losses (including a 3-0 defeat by Brighton)
  • 2023-2024: 0 losses (they finished 3rd with 78+ points)

Klopp’s overall record at Anfield is impressive, with a win percentage of 62.57%, the highest among Liverpool managers with over 30 matches.

Ok, I admit I am running on 2.5 hours of sleep today, but I am counting 7 home losses for 20/21 alone.
Burnley, BHA, City, Everton, Chelsea, Fulham, Atalanta.

Then 5 draws ontop of that.

We need to stop pining over the past, which isn’t as good as we believe it was.

We have the right to talk about and admire Klopp forever in this forum.

But to keep thinking the great man should waltz back in and save the day is fanciful. He’s left the room, the ship has sailed and we can all have fond memories.

At least we won the League after the great Klopp left, unlike that other mob down the road who have been a basket case for so long now.

We can dream can’t we… for a while. :pleading_face:

That we can Maria….

In fact I’m just dreaming about having a win right now!!

It’s a bit depressing.

I don’t want Jurgen back.

  1. The man has done his time and he owes us nothing. He was exhausted and looked ten years older when he left.

  2. I don’t want to sour his legacy. What if he comes back and can’t turn this around.

  3. We cannot create the idea that Jurgen is all there is. You think he was irreplaceable in 2024? He will be if he does a second stint.

For me it is nothing about his legacy, he needs to enjoy his life.

Definitely about his legacy for me. Gave me the best memories I’ll probably have in my life supporting Liverpool. No one is saying it was all perfect. It was how he dealt with adversity, bringing the team back from losing cup finals, and missing the league by a point, to achieve success. That was all part of the story. Turning doubters into believers.

There’s no way he could commit for long enough to create another story and I would also worry about a negative impact on his legend

Fuck no. No disrespect to the immense figure he was but Steven Gerrard has in no way demonstrated that he deserves to be anywhere near coaching us.

Agreed, I don’t want Jurgen. I’d be excited if he did come but I don’t think we need him and he certainly doesn’t need us.

Compared to when he took over, 8-9 years before?

No wonder then.

:joy:

I’d do he same. But the ship has sailed, he won’t come back as the head coach. He has stated it without any ambiguity in several recent interviews.

You know what I mean. :grinning_face: a couple of months after leaving he looked a different man.
