Let's not forget that this is nearly the same team that walked the league last season.

A shame really. He was so perfect for Liverpool.

I assume a replacement us already lined up?

Official statement says "The process to appoint a new manager is underway." which could go either way really but I imagine it means they've already got someone lined up.

lol listen to this from his post-match interview

quote:

But Rodgers added: "There are two points: the first is I don't feel any pressure, I can honestly say that.
"There is pressure to sell newspapers and make stories and I understand and respect that. My job is to worry about the team, that is the only pressure I will feel.
"People will want to put pressure on for different reasons. I don't feel it, I don't want it but anything externally, there is no drama.
"I have never felt anything other than secure. That is not being complacent. I was brought here to do a job, I signed a new deal (in May 2014) and the owners know it takes time."

Klopp isn't some wizard that's going to magically resolve the fact that Liverpool have made some terrible transfers and guarantee them a top four spot this season, it seems pretty weird that Liverpool spent what they spent in the summer then sacked the manager 8 games into the season.

I heard one theory that they wanted to appoint him in the summer but he wanted a break before managing again after leaving Dortmund so they let Rodgers hang on for the beginning of the season as basically a dead man walking, just keeping the seat warm until Klopp was ready.

That Suarez bullet header right into the corner from the edge of the area (off an Aly Cissokho cross lmao) against West Brom I think was also ridiculous, best header I've ever seen.

Sturridge and Bentekkers are good strikers, Ings is decent so far and Origi was named one of the worst strikers in France last year.

Plus, it would be really funny if he scored his 100th Premier League goal against West Ham considering how much poo poo we gave him.

Since he's currently only on 70 goals this would be quite an achievement and probably justify his signing by Sunderland imo.

Not a great match but at least Klopp didn't lose his first one in charge. I'm just waiting for the first loss so we can get headlines like Stop! Klopp's Kop Flop: Jurgen Plopp Drops Pop at Top
