Yeah, they did better than I thought, but I'm still not sure what your point is. Klopp is an excellent manager but he still lacked consistency until he got his squad fixed, particularly in defence. Then he moved up a level.@Makingtrax @EmeryCouldnt
Top 6 mini-league from Klopp's season. That's what I mean by showing that their ceiling was high.
Season 16/17 :
- Liverpool (5/5/0 - 20 points) (7) (4th)
- Chelsea (5/1/4 - 16 points) (2) (1st)
- Tottenham (4/3/4 - 15 points) (3) (2nd)
- Man City (2/4/4 - 10 points) (-4) (3rd)
- Man Utd (2/4/4 - 10 points) (-5) (6th)
- Arsenal (2/3/5 - 9 points) (-3) (5th)
Spot on. Second half he was forcing that back line to squeeze the midfield, by constant gesticulating and encouragement. And it paid off.Exactly. I think we (and Arteta) needs more games to say he is tactically creative or not.
But at the very least, it's very clear he has ability to get into the heads of the players. That is an incredibly difficult skill. You can't teach or learn that. That's what im really pleased with so far.
Nah nah, A-M told me Arteta was gonna be a yes man, a push over, someone who couldn't get the players to respect him.
My main concern is that we back Arteta in the off season, I know its early doors but he is showing a level of quality that we can really invest in.
If all goes well, this could be the decade where we re-establish ourselves as an elite side again.
To quote our sister @Rimaal..... fingers crossed.
Seriously? After a 1-0 win against a Championship side?
Learn about football my man, it would be in your interest to do so.
AM told me that Arteta is already a Top 3 manager in the world.Seriously? After a 1-0 win against a Championship side?

I thought we dominated the entire second half tbh.
First half was just atrocious but I feel it was players underestimating how hard working and technically gifted Leeds are.
In the second half, we showed our quality and dominated them technically.
Emery just got on their titsExactly. I think we (and Arteta) needs more games to say he is tactically creative or not.

Oh fair enough, I should have specified his first full season, I've edited it now to state that.I see. I was focused on 2015/2016 since you mentioned "immediate impact". Looks like he definitely had them rolling in 16/17 though, I'll give you that.
Yeah I agree with you in that fixing the squad and defence grants that consistency.Yeah, they did better than I thought, but I'm still not sure what your point is. Klopp is an excellent manager but he still lacked consistency until he got his squad fixed, particularly in defence. Then he moved up a level.
My point is that Arteta will be the same. He can only get so far with this squad however good he is. To move up to be title contenders will will need some smarter buying, like Liverpool have done.
Not sure what's contentious about that.
I'm trying to learn but I think you're counting your chickens way before they hatch. I'm seeing a lot of excitment but it's been a couple decent results, we still only play well for one half even under Arteta.
He's got a lot to fix and a lot of work to do, you're predicting us to be an elite side again based on blind optimism. It's a bit childish tbh, you come across as a simpleton.
That the mentality this club has since moved to Emirates wenger didn't try to change it and Emery too.I do worry having read the post match comments. It could well be that this group of players simply aren’t good/mentally strong enough.
After the past 12 months of dire/poor results do these players seriously think that they’re good enough just to turn up and win? Its reported that Arteta watched leeds lots and warned them about how tough it was going to be. What do they do? Ignore what the manager tells them and turn up arrogantly expecting to win. Honestly I do fear that no matter the manager and initial impact they may have it wont be long before the team decide to not be up for w game
