    Klopp will be welcome at City. Don't go to Liverpool they will sell Sterling and buy 4 pieces of **** with the money.

    He generally sells his best player every year and buys guys with potential in return.

    I think you've probably had enough of that though.

    True but that was at Dortmund.. It might be different at a team with the financial means. Not that Liverpool is up there with the Citys, PSG, Madrid, Chelsea, Man U, Barca, Bayern.

    Hard to tell, as accomplished players always wanted to leave BVB and he couldn't really build a long-term squad. This also resulted in them having to settle for mediocre or unknown players in transfers, hoping they'd pan out.

    Tactics-wise he wants to play a high paced offense that is built on his players pressuring the ball-handlers well into the opponent's half. The players then play fast counterattacks, similar to last year's Real Madrid.

    The problem is versatility, as he never really adapted or changed his style and failed to implement a strategy where the players create chances against defensive-minded teams. Also never bought players that are able to play 1on1 or orchestrate an offense.

    Bayern vs Porto now, hope we don't lose this game and maybe score a goal. They have a great team and we're crippled by injuries, so I don't expect a clear victory for us.

    Wow, disappointed I can't watch any of this. I can hardly believe it just looking at the gamecast.

    Bayern desperately need that away goal now. If they can walk out with only a 2-1 loss then it is more than manageable going back for the home leg.

    Xabi and Dante just stood there like idiots, didn't pass and let the opponents take away the ball, unbelievable blunders.

    Thiago still loses the ball too often. He needs to learn when to be fancy and when to play the simple pass.

    Can see Madrid sacking Ancelotti and then bringing Klopp in with Reus.

    Very true, think it'll come with more consistent playing time and experience. But our game desperately needs his brilliant moments.

    He's very likely to coach in the EPL, according to BILD he asked for permission to leave Dortmund last April, as he already agreed to coach a team in England. Rumors say it's City, and people still think he'll sign there next season.
