The Jurgen Klopp out brigade reminds one Mailboxer ‘of the good old Fergie days’. Plus, Cristiano Ronaldo, Casemiro, Man Utd vs Real Sociedad, Graham Potter and do we need a manager transfer window?

Fergie (Klopp) out!
I had this week off so I managed to catch the Champions league games for Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool sides. Firstly, Chelsea were not bad, just not clinical but Dinamo Zagreb were the most organized side I have seen in a while. You could almost see the Mourinho-isque drilling that had been done with the side and they will cause problems in that group. As a United supporter, the City game I had to turn off at around 60minutes because they are too good. The first goal felt too simple to be true. Two passes down the line, a cross and a goal. Until you see the whole sequence and see how they created that space in the first place. Liverpool, however, were horrible. It really did feel like watching a United team defending with Harry Maguire and Lindelof in a high line. Anyone could run in behind.
All this clamour about Klopp out reminds me of the good old Fergie days. We were perfectly happy competing with Arsenal as both Fergie and Wenger were in a class of their own. But suddenly, Mourinho comes in and completely changes the template. Suddenly, Fergie’s teams looked out of touch and it felt like we were losing pace and every game felt like we should replace Fergie with a manager like Mourinho. But he was given time to rebuild and more importantly, Mourinho was not and he was able to dominate again for a good 5-6 years.
The same will happen with Liverpool if their owners let it. Guardiola is not going to stay at City forever, especially if he wins the Champions League this season. Liverpool and the rest need to make sure they are stable enough to take that opportunity when it arises instead of firing managers left, right and center.

City have a smaller squad than Liverpool and still manage…
The amount of Pool fans blaming last season, and previous seasons of intense football for their slump this season is hilarious. You’d swear they were they only team that runs.
City played one or two games less than Liverpool last season. They have a smaller squad. Klopp has won 1 league in almost 8 years. He’s Blackburn or Leicester with more ex-pros in the media singing his praises. 1 league and 3 cup…
