So your saying Klopp was backed with one good player now?

Alisson was also expensive and doing okay. No doubt Liverpool's recruiting has been far superior to ours. Robertson (Hull), Gomez (Charlton), Mane (Southampton) and despite coming from Roma, Salad didn't cost very much.
Of course Klopp is doing a good job, but he had to spend big on those 2 players to complete his team
 
This was Liverpool’s bench against us - are people seriously trying to tell me that they didn’t need to strengthen their squad last summer?

Do you think Poch would have won stuff with VVD and Allison the years we were finishing above Liverpool?
 
But I told you 11 became regular first team quality and if you compare Klopps 23 in just one less season, only 7 became regular first team quality.

So was Klopp not backed either?
Or is he just better perhaps
Is that the same Klopp you used to call wank and a fraud up until October last year?
 
What was the excuse in 2016 or are you going to keep running
What about 2016?
No manager would have beaten Leicester to the title. I think SchmoodSpur SchmoodSpur eloquently stated on numerous occassions why that was.

Mourinho's Chelsea finished 10th remember. The man we hired to replace Poch got sacked for taking a team with the likes of Hazard, Willian, Costa, Pedro, Terry, Matic etc. to finish below the likes of Stoke, Southampton and and West 😂 Ham.

While Pochettino somehow moulded the same bunch relatively cheap punts and Home growns that make up the bulk our squad today into a title challenge and champions league finish..

Even your hero Klopp only managed 8th! But guess what. His board backed him.

You have just shown that teams that spend more can finish below others that spend less.

The year all our rivals were trash, Poch couldn’t guide our team at its peak past Leicester.
You keep talking about the gallant effort Poch made that year.

Suddenly you aren’t blaming Levy for 2016, because we finished above teams that vastly outspent us.
Yet we finished below Leicester.

Ao what happened that season?
“No manager could beat Leicester” isn’t an answer.
Why wasn’t Poch able to even finish second?
 
I love the suggestion that Poch wasn’t backed.

Given a squad that contained:

Kane, Lloris, Walker, Dembele, Eriksen Vertonghen.

A transfer structure that gave him:

Son, Ali, Alderwield,

A board that broke our record fee multiple times:

Son £23 million, Sissoko, £30 million, Sanchez £42, Ndombele £62 million.

One which spent over £120 million on 3 players in a single window.

But the magician wasn’t backed lol.
