I’m loving where we are atm. There’s excitement and a buzz around the club that is simply incredible.
But I think the excitement and buzz Klopp has created at Liverpool over the past 5 years tops that (by a distance). Liverpool fans have been strutting around the past few seasons with an arrogance that every rival fan has to begrudgingly accept. And everybody barring City is jealous, and even they probably look at Liverpool’s CL title and finals with some envy.
Battling City for titles, frequent CL finalists, chasing trebles and quadruples at various points. I have no doubt it would be more satisfying to experience what Liverpool fans have in recent years over whatever feelings of joy and hope we have atm.
The main question for me is whether our ceiling under Arteta is going to be as high as whatever Klopp could do with Arsenal. Klopp has been there and done it, I would choose his track record over potential for sure (if in some alternate dimension where he would even consider coming to us) .
It’s just the timing is not right. I would hire Klopp in an instant if the context was different.
The question was if Klopp was available tomorrow(or let’s say in the immediate future) would you really sack the current manager that’s doing exceptionally well at the minute?
Mind you, doing so would most likely cause some turmoil. As I said, most fans, players and staff are onboard with the current project.
If we’re talking about end of the season that would be a different matter.
Any team in the form Liverpool are in wouldn’t be considered top four material but apart from Man City and us, nearly all the clubs going for a top four place are inconsistent so it would only take a few wins for them to get back in contention.
I’d be surprised if at the end of the season Liverpool weren’t at least close to, if not in, the CL places.
Ultimately it’s one of the top 3 coaches in the world, so I’d have to say yes to this hypothetical.
I must admit I’m loving the progression and potential in Arteta though, but yeah that’s all it is at the moment, not a proven top 3 coach in the world.
The irony of Liverpool fans trying to make fun of Jesus for not scoring goals after going to war for anyone who tried to do the same to Firmino all these years.
It’s not really up to Liverpool, is it? If FSG wants to sell Liverpool and, I don’t know, the country of Qatar wants to buy them, they can if all conditions set forth by the FA/UEFA/FIFA are met, right?
