I’ve got no issue with a framework and idea - but the difference is Klopp identified the issues and changed it up. Burnley’s issues were there to be seen - yet Kompany ploughed on. we’re not saying switch to hoof ball, but showing some kind of awareness on how to effect the game

Actually Klopp changed and adapted a number of times. Especially at Liverpool. the philosophy stayed the same but he retooled his defence and midfield to win the league

Would like to know what that’s based on?

Got a feeling it’s now or never for us. Doubtful next season is going to be any easier with Potentially wolves and West Ham

If that’s the case - I’d have him here if he can be arsed

My mate was telling me the owner fucked off during the summer with the recruitment director on holiday. Didn’t go down well I’m told. is it a case of riding the storm out whilst you wait for the high earners leave? Players like winks won’t get 90k a week again- so they’ll hold out. Why isn’t...

Yep. Lots of twists and turns to go. I personally think Ipswich will win the league. Stronger squad-wise. are you gonna sack Cifuentes yet?

2bh - that’s what football is about. Everyone has different opinions and that’s ok

Remember when Rangers were out of the SPL and Celtic were breaking records? Thats what I consider Kompany’s record as. Things like this don’t stand out. now if he wins the CL - I’ll give him his flowers

I’d somewhat agree - as I’ve said, it’s more nuanced. Kompany’s playing name has got him opportunities at the right time, and would command more player respect than Say Rob Edwards. I think Glasner is a far better manager, but given his past career as a player. He wouldn’t get the job at Bayern’s

I’d argue that Leverkusen massively overachieved that season - through sheer brilliance and to Kompany’s credit - a poor Bayern year. Bayern reacted by spending 150m and flexed their muscles. Leverkusen never had the capital to compete with that. Kompany isn’t a terrible manager by all means...

Again as before that’s a nuanced question. Do think he’d be winning the league? Yes I do. when you have one of the elite forwards in the world up top, the goals tend to flow that being said there is a different skill set required for elite teams and in terms of elite board and fans. That will...

Again, we’ll see - I don’t think he’s a bad manager. But he’s not doing anything unexpected. funnily you mention Rob Edwards though - I dont think Kompany would do any different with that wolves team

11 points for me. Beat: Millwall, Oxford and West Brom Draw: Middlesbrough, QPR Lose: Norwich - they turn into prime Barca against us most of the time

As per our previous conversations - that will still depend on how well he does in the CL. Bayern generally operate by weakening the rest of the league by aggressively poaching the competition

What is the general issue at Leicester? Got a mate who supports you, and he says it’s massively down to the old owner’s son in charge and a the recruitment team not having a clue. says too many players from the premier league days on too much money not giving a shit. Harry Winks is his main target

Funny you say that - I mentioned him as a possible loan to my brother in December when we were flying high

Didn’t he say he knew Dermot Coleman when he was asked at the time of the takeover?

I thought he signed a 4 year deal? Got another year hasn’t he
