    Behave. Yes liverpool spent big this season after loosing a player for £130m. A board that reinvested the lot. No like ours. Hes easily better than pep imo. How many champions league finals now? With 2 different teams, both teams * when he took over. I * wished we could have a manager like him one day.

    I was simply responding to the lad who mentioned pep,pep has won the league, Klopp has not,Under Klopp Liverpool have won nothing since His appointment 2015,pep was appointed 2016 and has won the league.

    So im not sure why he is comparing the two ,when in the premiership(and maybe beyond )pep is more successful.

    I actually think hard to say which managers are more successful than others because their are so many variables to take into account money,league(were in a * league),players at your disposal etc, im mean if the rat had hung around he would be looking at a treble treble.

    If that happened in the epl he would be classed as the best manager in the world by some but in scotland people think well its easy in that league.

    But klopp is certainly not the beat manager in the world,yes he his very good at what he does but 3 seasons at liverpool and the leagues biggest spenders this season and no silverware is not the record of the best manager in the world.

    You say biggest spenders but you forget they lost a player worth £130m. That kind of talent cant be replaced. Somehow he managed it. City are financially dopped for how long now? * cant even fill a stadium and in the end will damage the * epl anyway.

    It's all opinion ofcourse but for me, hes the best manager around currently. Peps a *.

    I reckon Liverpool would happily swap the Champions League win for a league title.

    I reckon Man City would happily swap the CL for the title, after all isn't that what they brought Pep to the club for ? :67:

    keep seeing headlines and videos about the 'amazing atmosphere'....like what? it was actually embarrasing , the 4th goal was celebrated like a league goal ffs , just watched the highlights and even in that the crowd is mostly silent. Imagine if that was paradise, youd find yourself in whole different * stand after the celebrations.

    I miss champions league nights

    Liverpool vs Ajax would be a great final. I don't want to see an all EPL final.

    The atmosphere was decidedly average, considering.

    I thought the atmosphere looked and sounded brilliant tbh, especially at the end.


    Anfield is a very intimidating ground for teams to play in.

    Hopefully Ajax can finish the job seeing as Barca bottled it.

    3-1 Ajax

    Son being back for Spurs is a boost, and I think it’ll be a tight game, but Ajax have been so impressive this season so I think they’ll come out on top.

    People are kidding themselves on if they don’t think there was a cracking atmosphere there last night.

    There was a decent atmosphere, but for a team who have just turned around a 3-0 deficit against Barcelona it was little more. It probably isn't even Liverpool's fault, it is just the way football is now, but even within those constraints, I still expected a little bit more raw passion. It all felt very contrived.

    The thought of Liverpool spurs and Chelsea arsenal finals are giving me the fear

    That is fair enough, I guess we have different ideas of what mental is. I would class that as quite tame and civilised.
