I liked the guy who was saying 'ok, they only had two shots but they got two goals. If they had seven shots they would have got seven goals - that's how bad the defense is' He used the word 'disgrace' a lot.
He also said they deserved to win 4-0 which tells you everything about his set up. He really believes as long as they score enough they'll win, regardless of how much they concede.
), adding to their work load. but they haven't really done anything to fix their patently dreadful, to anyone who actually watched their games last season, defence. A few pages back @SugarRay said It's a point I've been wanting to make for a while (but been too busy). Folk think that because Klopp was successful at Germany's second club, of the moment, it inherently meant he was going to be successful at England's fifth best financed, but in many ways sixth best at most, ATM, club. But the leagues are very different. The English Prem is more competitive, more intense - you just don't get many gimmes here. Even the lowest team will keep fighting while they are a couple of goals down with twenty minutes to go. Even the bottom-feeders will at least try to blanket defend and hit anyone, anyone, on the break. He shouldn't be being surprised by this, it is essentially his third season here. You set your defence up to cope with what you are going to face. It isn't an afterthought. Poch and, I hate to say it, Mourinho, understand this. It's not about the personnel, it's about how the defence is organised and set-up. Buying one slightly better defender, or two, or whatever, and hoping that will make it a better defence is like a false economy. The only way to make a defence that you know will work for the BPL is to organise and set-up a defence that can cope with the BPL. I hardly think buying Oxlade-chamberlain is going to do it.
But...but...but.... FIVE TIMES MATTTTEEE
They suffer not having that extra edge without Mane as well.
