    He has never faced any adversity in his career. Never managed a middling side or faced with no money to buy the best players. He went straight into managing the best team in the world and was proclaimed as best manager in the world. Big difference. The emperor has no clothes. Wonder who will be first and brave enough in the media to shout it out.

    On the title and CL challenge

    The competitiveness is among the top 6 and among the rest. Rarely do we have a middle or bottom side giving a top 6 side a game even at home. Yes, anyone can beat anyone else but within their mini leagues. That is where the deluded RS will fall. They may be top of the top6 mini league because the top teams play an open game especially at home and attack. But the rest of teams are starting to learn that attacking them means they will be vulnerable to their hi energy game. So these smaller teams will defend for 90 minutes if they want to get anything from the game. Of all the top teams the RS are the most vulnerable to dropping points against the minnows. They are deluded if they think they will challenge for the title. They have the hardest run in (for them!) as they face teams who will put 10 defenders behind the ball. I won't be surprised if #kloppyflop finished outside the CL places as his running but talentless players get found out..<laugh>

    And ...Chelsea are the most ruthless in putting minnows to the sword.

    #kloppyflop may have a good lucky mini league record against the top 6 but his record against the other 14 teams is the worst. <ok>

    So #disappointment is again waiting for the deluded RS under fraud #kloppyflop

    His long ball high pressing game does not work on teams who just sit back and defend. <laugh>

    What should you do if you see an RS fan jogging?

    Trip him up and give the lady's purse back to her.

    Long Ball Liverpool brought on a centre half to play up front. Didn't work.

    You jinxed us didn't you? <whistle>


    Klopp was critical of JM for playing long ball. How many long balls did he launch against Swansea? #RS have been so certain about their title challenge this season. But it is looking like their form is so uncertain that the RS and United could be swapping places by the end of May. <whistle>

    #kloppyflop simple high pressing "lots of running" game is being slowly found out. Without a fast striker like Mane, they have little penetration despite having 70% possession and are reduced to play a lot in front of the opposition. Swansea played the perfect game. They had the courage to test that awful defence and each time they gave way.

    That is why those who say that they have the easiest run in May are wrong, they have the toughest (for them!) because they play the lower teams who will (hopefully) mass their defence leaving #kloppyflop high energy pressing game totally ineffective.

    Not so much a jinx as a cynical forecast of what would happen.

    Did anyone really think we'd go on and win after Liverpool had lost? I didn't.
