turvontour Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Wonder if this game at Leeds will go ahead tonight with snow forecast for most of the day. Should imagine a few fixtures might be impacted this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure he would have done what Klopp has at liverpool though. Hes starting from a similar position at Everton as Klopp did at Liverpool, lets see what he does and achieves with them. Sorry but that is ridiculous to compare Everton’s position when he arrived to that of Liverpool when Klopp did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the facts are completely against you, but other than that, you're spot on. Klopp joined Liverpool when they were in a bit of poor form and 10th in the league, but it was only October and they finished the previous season 6th and got to two semi finals. Ancelotti took over Everton in 15th, 34 points off the bottom 3, with a much worse squad at a club with far fewer resources. For Ancelotti to come close to what Klopp has done at Liverpool would be absolutely miraculous. It's absurd to claim they're starting from similar positions.

The previous season to when Klopp took over Liverpool finished 6th on 62 points, the previous season for Ancelotti they finished 8th on 54 points. So not as a greater difference as you think. I'm not expected him to do what Klopp has done at Liverpool not even close. I think Pep and Klopp are the best two managers in world football and we have bene lucky to have them in the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what that has to do with the original point? There is no comparison between Everton when Ancelloti arrived and Liverpool when Klopp arrived.

stewiek2 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Methinks someone at Sky's studio stumbled across Chris Coleman walking the corridors and just handed him the tablet and pen then shoved him in front of the the cameras. He's not touched the tablet once. Blatantly obvious he's not got a clue how to use it. I guess Carragher will be giving him a crash course during the break.

a-k Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Only 6 subs on the bench for Palace tonight...must be real encouraging for some of the U23s to know they're so poorly rated that they're not even considered as a last-resort sub option, even for the experience.
