Some of their starting players would look very average on other teams or system. Their midfield isnt exactly star studded but they work well together.
Liverpool team plays better than its parts because of Klopp.
He makes the players believe in his system, trains them well, and gets the most out of them.
They beat more talented teams on their way to CL title and Klopp is the #1 reason why.
They're a complete team. No obvious weaknesses. They have the best centre-back in the world, the best pair of full-backs in the world, and probably the best front three in the world.
I'd argue that they're the best run major club in Europe.
Agree about Virgil but the best three in the world? Certainly not individually. They work well together. Of the three I would only consider Salah as an elite player.
They are nowhere going to be as damaging if not in Klopp's system.
Same with their midfield.
It's a team that has mastered Klopp's system.
The same group of players would be no where as good if klopp was not there managing them. They wouldn't even have been constructed the way they have been.
Mad that hes had x amount of years to get to this point and it didn't just click at the start of season 2.
Impossible to explain that.
His attack and offense caught on very quick and he played to that strength until he shored up the midfield and defense.
Liverpool were scoring plenty of goals early despite giving up goals as well.
He realized what the strength of the team was early on and tried to take advantage of it.
Excellent manager that implements his strategy/tactics with clear short term and long term plan.
He has a track history. His Dortmund team won consecutive league titles in an era where pretty much no one but Bayern wins it.
He also got absolutely battered during that period and had people on here cracking up saying he was destroyed after he nearly relegated Dortmund.
It's taken him 6 years to get to where he is. He lost in EL finals early on too (to Emery lol). Meanwhile, emery is being destroyed by some on here because he can't go toe to toe with a 6 year old klopp team and massive investment to get to a CL final.
I don't even f***ing care if he goes at the end of the season if hes not good enough, I just think its absolute madness for some of you to sit here and compare him to Guardiola klopp potch after one full season and 3 games like hes supposed to have turned the ship around.
It's just f***ing ludicrous and probably the most illogical train I thought.
Potch is being hailed as elite and never won anything in all those years.
Klopp has taken 6 years to get the CL and has his team running how he wants.
Guardiola has literally never been tested outside of having the biggest budget and best squad in all 3 leagues hes managed. Even our apparent lord and saviour took 2 or 3 years to actually win major trophies and hes still getting shown up in the CL.
Mourinho still can't find work other than being a stand up on Sky Sports.
Arteta has never managed a first team in his life ffs.
Simeone allegri etc are out of our pay grade or simply didn't want to come here.
This is the level of hyperbole on these threads.
