That game summed up Klopp's liverpool this season. good and bad - inconsistent.


Well I did a little bit of research yesterday, and so it looks like you basically qualify for the Champions league if you win. You know how you 'get in' if your a top 3 team...and that 4th team has to do a round of qualifiers? That's where you are if you win it.

If you lose, you are in an even earlier round of qualifiers. Prob 2 rounds of qualifiers below that. So our chances of making it into the real meat of the Champions league tourney is incredibly low. But technically we have a shot.

If Klopp can get his squad going next season, perhaps we will be that team no-one wants to face throughout the qualifiers, and actually get in. Liverpool need to get something going. Really need that league title, or Champions League title again. Get back on the map. We're falling off, slowly but surely. Would you even say we are a top 5 'destination' in EPL anymore? I'd almost wonder if we're a top 10. I'm very hopeful that Klopp can get us some hardware. Especially that elusive league title. There's just no buzz around our team these days. I remember when we were maybe not a TOP TOP destination.....but certainly one of the big ones. Now we're a stepping stone on the way to Chel$ea. It's embarrassing.

Gotta fix it.

I was only going on what the BBC said that Liverpool won't be playing in Europe next season which may hurt their transfer capability.

Honestly, I think your source is prob 5 times more reliable than whatever I came across. I'll try and find it again, but for now, it looks like we got nada. Thats a bummer

Yeah, I dont know what I read. I find all sorts of articles saying we get jack-squat now. The only article I found saying anything about us qualifying was a year old. Sevilla won last year too...so I dunno, maybe I read something a year old.

Either way....Klopp's quest just got that much harder. I suppose this allows him to focus solely on the league.

True but nothing compares to European nights at Anfield. Probably will need to trim the size of the squad down...I was looking at numbers. We have a massive squad.

Perfect for Brendo as a similarly piss poor charlatan of a manager. :D

It's about his only chance for trophies/CL these days.

Well OK, It looks like the Goalkeeper Karius is in Liverpool for a medical. Feels so weird to say this, since I live in the real world, but 4.7m is almost nothing for a transfer these days. Makes me worried. Does anyone know this guy?

Don't get me wrong...I love it when you get guys cheaply. But it just seems like a top-notch goalie aughta fetch north of 30-40m these days. The numbers are just bonkers now. 4.7 sounds like we picked up a youth-level pick.

Either way....Klopp is on the move! I like it. Can't wait to see the boys at the Rose Bowl.

4.7? More like 8 mil pound. 4.7 is not getting it done. Gotta pay the release clause.

Even at those 8 mil. he's a bargain, though.

Lmao mainzer sold its best talent for only 6 million euro. What a dumb club it is. At least get something like 9-10. Gladbach got 40 million for its best player.

I dont know where you are getting the information that he was sold for 6 mil. but thats certainly a false information.

We had the option to resign him last year with a moderate release clause of 10 mil € or let him go for free.

There's no way we sold him for less than the release clause.

He's easily worth 15-20 mil. in todays market, though.

Gonna have to follow Pool next season now. :roll:
