Liverpool 0-1 Fulham
Liverpool's fall from grace is stunning. It looks more than that squad coming to a natural end, Klopp's super effective football has weaknesses. It's so easy to get in behind em now. He might need a rethink.

Same thing happened in his final season at Dortmund. They finished 7th and that was after a late rally.
He's a brilliant manager, but his football is 100 miles an hour. Built on emotion and intensity, but not sustainable. The best managers can regenerate teams when its needed. Fergie was brilliant at it. Liverpool need a refresh. It probably needs something drastic, like selling Salah and freshening things up. They've also suffered more than most as a result of the ground closures to fans, because Anfield is the most emotional ground there is.

Great points. I'd never thought of it like that. So much of football is emotion, as ex pros tell us. And Klopp is an emotional fella too. So I suppose his teams burn bright then explode rather than gradually decline like most other greats.Edfuckingwoodward wrote: ↑3 years agoSame thing happened in his final season at Dortmund.

Not sure where he goes from here. It's a bad time to finance a rebuild cos covid has hit everyone in the pocket. We're lucky in that we only need a couple of players to be challenging so we might fair better in the next 2-3 years.

Klopp to Germany looks like a possibility, as Low is stepping down after the euros

VAR Football encapsulated in the Dortmund game the other night, anyone see it?
Haaland scores. VAR disallows, but VAR then awards a penalty for a foul in the build up. Haaland misses. VAR orders a retake. Haaland scores.
Fuck me.

Yup, totally bonkers. Couldn’t see anything wrong with the original (brilliant) goal.Edfuckingwoodward wrote: ↑3 years ago VAR Football encapsulated in the Dortmund game the other night, anyone see it?
