Remember in 2010 with Gillet & Hicks, when Hodgson was trying to lead us away from the relegation zone with the help of Konchesky and Poulson? How times have changed. Here we are in January World and European Champions miles ahead in the league and our biggest worry is a whether it's right to just play the 2nd string in an FA Cup replay, happy fooking days to all of us.
Opposing fans biggest problem with Klopp is his honesty, he will tell the world that he is giving players a break. Other managers are afraid of a middle-England rule Britannia vilification and are mostly rather upset that 99% of Liverpool supporters understand & agree with his decision. I love the narrative of disrespecting an inanimate object. Hell yeah, you glorified vase. Awwh shit no, you've upset the FA Cup.
Big Sam was out in support of our manager yesterday. He was saying we can't keep flogging players and they need this break. I noticed the copa America is on again this summer. Seems like it is a yearly competition now!
Greatest cup competition in the world though innit? Those working in the media love it also since it gives them something to write about in the days when there are no matches. All wading in with their opinion to keep themselves relevant.
I'm happy enough for any pundit that wants to have a go at the club about this to have a pop if they want, Klopp has put his head up here to get noticed so the only way that it will get the attention that it requires is by a huge amount of people talking about it and questioning him about it. If Klopp didn't want to make a statement out of it he could have very easily just managed the situation very differently and still have basically the exact same outcome as we're going to see in the game (though he'd have had to turn up to manage the kids they're putting out). I've seen some different viewpoints from lower league clubs suggesting that they feel this is a targeted attack on them and that the PL clubs only look after their only vested interests and they've might have a point in there somewhere but it needs to be addressed in an overall context rather than this one off issue, none of the lower league clubs have to deal with summer competitions when the season ends or release players for international commitments, deal with travelling abroad several times a year for CL games etc. so it's very hard to compare both sets of circumstances.
I'm on the lower league clubs side when it comes to cup replays,but that gimp from Accrington is in no position to be lecturing anybody about selfishness. He's a fame hungry wankbag who's dedication to the big guys helping out the little guys stops when it's not in his interests. Always going on about the "pyramid"because a pyramid has a base where the money he wants to see trickling down stops. When it comes to his business life he's from the "nobody helped me so why should more of my taxes go to help anybody else" school of thinking,pro Brexit which could decimate towns like Accrington and talked about how he wished the AfD were in charge of Europe(that's a German far right party). Jurgen Klopp cares far more about the little guy than him and unlike him has principles. The dickhead chairman from Peterborough is the same. Fame hungry,Trump loving cunt who thinks socialist principles are for the lazy and jealous,until it comes to redistributing the money generated by the PL, paying loan fees for players from big clubs,or getting taxpayer money to help fund a stadium, then his anti socialist principles go right out the window.
