well as i may of said last season i'm not a fan of lvg ,decent manager nothing more and imo past his sell by date.
got shot down a lot by the "lvg can do no wrong " gang last season .
looks like a lot are turning on him after 4 games but that's fickle fans for you.

people make a big deal out of the fact he won a title at munich but and this is important the football at munich was crap to watch .
the style we are playing is the lvg style this is what you get with him.
slow possession , players playing out of position and the team more important than star players.
add in a few falling outs .

for what its worth he will get us there or there about this season but it won't be pretty to watch .

I agree and I'd still go for Klopp in the summer, even if we finished 2nd this season. I'd bid for Lewandowski and Mario Goetze and bring in Klopp.

Maybe it's just me , but I really don't think the football is a bad as a lot of people are making out. Alright , its not edge of the seat stuff for 90 minutes. But its not the complete rubbish that it is being made out to be.

Anyone who says we have not made progress since Moyes it talking complete nonsense. We are playing with control , and keeping possession well. We look a tighter unit in general play , and will be hard to beat in most games. What we are lacking is a cutting edge going forwards. Yes , I accept that we look hesitant at times going forwards , but that is often because our CF is not where he should be. I'm not trying to start another Rooney debate , but he needs to play more advanced.
When we attack from deep , or on the counter , Rooney still makes some good forward runs. He did again today , but was too hesitant in front of goal. Our real problem is when we have possession in the final third , there is not enough movement up front to create space. Rooney gets frustrated and likes to find space , so drops deep or goes wide to find that space. That leaves us with no focal point , and no threat. We are easy to defend against , and are too predictable.
Personally , I don't see too much wrong with our general play. We should have scored more goals today. If we had , and won the game , everyone would be saying we played well.
I am sure many will disagree , but I think we are on the right road. It still needs some tweeking , and perhaps a Cantons type catalyst , but we are far better than we were 12 months ago.

Possession football can also be entertaining , as long as there is an end product. We are lacking that at the moment , but whether you like LvG or not , I am sure he is aware of our shortcomings. The days of 442 and gung ho football is gone. Teams and managers are for more tactical now , and the days of "you score 4 and we'll score 5" are long gone.

I'm not trying to say all is rosy , but a footballing performance cannot to defined solely in the result. By that , I'm obviously trying to say that you can still play well and not win. Unfortunately , depending on that last 2 days of the transfer window , I think our season will be defined by lack of goals , not bad performances.

Klopp makes a lot of sense in more ways than one think about it if we get him we have a great chance of getting hummels and reus and probs lewandowski and he will play a lot better football.Lvgs is hopeless been saying it for months and rooney needs someone challenging him for the striker role because he's not firing at all

and bring Kagawa, the guy has been back to his best with Dortmund now.
Tuchel seems to be a great coach to me.

betty
like i say at the end of my post lvg will get us there or there abouts but i don't think it will edge of the seat stuff.
people seem to think if we buy x superstar lvg will tell the whole team to play a different style.
maybe we should spend 60 mill on an argie superstar who has pace and can take people on , put a bit of excitement and star quality into the team
