Okay and what in the book exactly are you saying has contributed to our recent form, obviously ignoring madrid and dortmund because they are terrible sides this season.
Still waiting for you to specifically call out the items, your nearly there as there is a wiff of an attempt but lacks any detail. If you are going to use the book, then use it, list the issues that have caused the slump and why. Hot air otherwise.
Who has said this is a shite Real Madrid side? They have the talent but they are a shadow of the side last season and most acknowledge that. The results and postion and league placing currently show that so there is little to inflate that by saying that they could do this or could do that. This is where they are now.
As for the book, well I bought it up because it is apt. There is a correlation between its release and our down turn in form. That may be a coincidence it may not be but it is a discussion point certainly. I find it concerning because it is often a sign of a manager buying into their own hype, it has shades of David O Leary to it and that cannot be a good thing.
I’m saying that a such a book which discloses details of the locker room may not be conducive to maintaining trust and harmony within a playing squad. That’s not exactly a concept difficult to grasp.
Yep they are 3 points off 2nd, hard to argue they will not finish there this year, there is a chance that they finish 3rd behind the Spanish Leicester whilst they have the same advantage Leicester did by not being in Europe whilst they battle with the teams that are.
If you want to discuss the book that is perfectly fine, not stopping you, I'm encouraging actually by asking you exactly what specifically are the issues that may have caused the poor results. Still waiting 3rd or 4th time of asking.
Again where did I state it definitely caused our slump? If it has played a part then I suspect that it will be due to public revelations and the erosion of trust this would have. Whether it is responsible or not we will have to see but undoubtedly is a idiotic idea on his part because no good could ever come from it. The most surprising part is the board allowing this to be released more so mid way through a season.
You do know that a lot of those details were dislosed by the players themselves?
You think the players didn't know what was being said in the book before it came out
And how many times do I need to answer this. Again it is the public nature of the revelations, it is the timing of this, it’s why a football manager would even want to engage in such a thing. This isn’t a managerial standard here.
And some of it wasn’t.
Is it really that that hard of concept to understand that a manager releasing a book centring on him and with revelations about the club and players midway through season may not have been the best of idea. That such a thing could have an adverse effect?
How do we know? But the fact that this even a question demonstrates that this should never have been one in the first place.
Strange that we went on a similar bad run from mid oct through to end of november at this stage last season and also went out of champions league around the same period with no poch book out.
Why do I suspect that had Klopp released this book and Liverpool had experienceda similar run of form the comments here would be very different?
I didn't say you said it was definitely the reason, but you keep mentioning it and offering it as a reason, you are bringing it up not me.
What public revelations do you refer to? What erosion of trust do you refer to? SPECIFICS.
There is hardly a football manager that doesn't have a book written about them. SPECIFICALLY what revelations?
You don't think Alderweireld getting injured might be the main issue?
So an annual Oct/Nov decline is to be expected each year then now?
Hung over and in a stinking mood when I woke up thinking about the conversation from last night. my first post was a frustrated rant.
You obviously have decided Im not genuine in what I say so why obsess about it bro.
Carry on believing I made it up and wasted my own time "trolling" the forum.
Talking about the dressing room issues when he arrived, taking about Dier and United, discussing Marcus Edward’s behavioural issues. Talking about private conversations he had with former players prior to their departure. Taking about taking other managerial jobs such as the England job. All of it is absolutely needless, all of it completely at odds with the standard in the game. If you a player what certainty do you have that any conversation that you have with him won’t be serialised in another book?
