Klopp doesn't want to face an easy opponent like Sunderland

[Thurston]

"We are in a very positive mood," he said in his pre-match press conference.

"The game will be difficult but we still want to play - we don't want to play, I don't know, rather

because it [the Barcelona game] is around the corner.

"We want to go there [St James' Park] and play the game."

Bizarre thing to come out with.

I know what he means. I’d rather play against a side who actually win trophies like, I don’t know, Man City, than an easier game like Liverpool.

Germans, exact reason I voted brexit like

And we shall destroy everything and everyone in our path until we reach the summit, on which we shall look down upon all beneath us, as the one true victor.

From the summit of Tunstall Hill.

I think the mags will get a result today.

Klopp, I reckon is going to have a serious meltdown soon.

To be fair, Benitez v Liverpool and Brendan Rodgers v Man City is a headline writer’s dream, one way or another.

We're gunna fight fight fight for Sunderland til we win division three

 

[Legend]

doesn’t “it’s round the corner” referring to us being close to Newcastle, rather than the Barcelona game?

Isn’t he saying that the game is going to be difficult but not so difficult that he wants to play someone else? I.e. it’s a game they still think they can win etc. He’s mentioned us because of our proximity, rather than because we’re particularly shit?

 

[Mikeftw]

The bloke is an utter helmet

 

[Legend]

Silly comparison really when we're two leagues apart, surely he should reference Fulham or Huddersfield

That’s why I’m pretty certain we’re being mentioned for being “round the corner” - he’d not be thinking about us otherwise

Well I feel thoroughly 'trolled'

£400m in fours years. Trophies, nil.

So has he failed and should he be sacked?

 

[LondonMackem]

Blokes a f***ing weirdo, proper loon that looks like he reeks

 

[nelford_safc]

bet he smells

Last time we played them, he actually criticised us for defending!

Then he's gonna love rafa's tactics

 

[toosb]

Hes a whopper.

Remember the 2-2 home draw a few years back where he went on like a toddler because we got two penalties. He failed to mention we had a third stone wall one denied which would have won us the game.

He complained about having to play 2 days after their previous match, ignoring the fact that we had as well.

 

[Iballistic George]

I think it's because he knows the fsw might not be there soon and they will come calling for him . He knows he can't resist such a massive club and it'll be a step up from Liverpool so he's just keeping them sweet until he takes the hot seat .

 

[gipetto]

The refs letting all these fouls go.

 

[Wearside Wanderer II]

He could eat an apple through a letterbox that fucker
