GermanBlue 82 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Klopp is more than unrealistic. He lives Dortmund, he breathes BVB. It's all a big family there and Klopp was only at two clubs as a coach (Mainz and Dortmund) and he was a big success and very popular there, he cried when he left Mainz, he's a loyal guy. But certainly, as the type of coach, he'd suit great, I think. He's a motivator through and through and still great at tactics. He likes to try things out and is honest with it when they fail. But as I said, it's unrealistic that he'd come here. He once said a long time ago that he wants to go to the BPL one day, but then again some time ago after that success at Dortmund, he said that it isn't a dream anymore.I'd support Laudrup, because I love the way Swansea plays and I'm sure we can play like that, too. He's a great tactical talent, but I assume Roman will be going for a big name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They beat us 2-0 but they were absolutely lucky and we could and should have won by 5 or 6. They just sat back and had the odd counter attack. They are not a good football team despite the general opinion. We play significantly better football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They usually play very nice attacking football but they are a considerably less talented team than we are so smartly decided to play defensively.

Hutcho 8,443 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Since when is a manager though, only able to implement 1 style of football... They do what they think is best with the squad of players... If laudrup came here then he would do what he think was best with the squad we have, nothing to suggest he would implement the exact same style of football as at swansea.

I have seen them play a lot this season and they are no different in most games. They have changed a lot from last season and have less possession and are far more direct.

It's been a little more cautious this season, but they still play high possession, passing football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a little more cautious this season, but they still play high possession, passing football. I have watched them play against Utd, Man City, Eveton x2, Spurs and us x2 and in each of those games they were thoroughly outplayed. Wigan for instance play better football and Martinez is a better manager than Laudrup. The post I replied to wanted us to play like Swansea then I don't want to play like them, they are nothing special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mufassir08 2,400 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 The good thing about managers like klopp and laudrup is that i can see players like oscar,hazard,lukaku,KDB and other young players(kalas,PVA,chalobah,Mceachran) going to the next level under them.

Very close to Swansea on the possession and pass pcts rankings. Cheers. The positional statistics are very interesting. 44% of Everton's attacks come from the left side, no surprise there! We're actually fairly balanced in our attacks despite many people thinking we mostly attack through the centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterfall 893 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Didn't Liverpool hire a manager because they liked Swansea's style of game? How's that working out for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azpinator 2,325 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 We keep talking about this for months while Roman makes his decision in a matter of hours I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrique 9,133 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Klopp is not a realistic option.Mourinho is not a realistic option.Joachin Low is not a realistic option.We have Moyes, Laudrup, Simeone and Benitez. For me Moyes is the best option and Simeone is the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Moyes is the best option and Simeone is the worst.I'm not so sure Mourinho us unrealistic and out of those available, I'm not sure how Moyes is the best option. Good manager, but not really the person I'd see fitting in at our club especially when you look at his footballing philosophy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never said he want to return to Chelsea, and Roman never said he want to hire him again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave30 728 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 No way Jose will come back here in my opinion he'll be looking at the Manchester clubs and no one else. So like Henrique's said Moyes is the best option we've got available. Constantly overachieves and has the personality to take control and the respect to get everyone on side. Only problem is i think he's got the United job in his heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
