Paul Robinson may have inadvertently struck upon gold, here. Of course, I might well agree with Robbo’s thoughts as I am genuinely struggling to believe that any truly top flight side will be interested in a manager who has, in the final analysis, failed to win a single trophy. However, in isolation does not mean that ‘England’s number one’ is entirely off point.
I take a view that Paul Robinson may have, in truth, stumbled upon a situation far more likely than many of the ambitious claims made in the footballing media over the course of the last year or so. Poch still needs to pay his dues. This may shock or even appal some readers, but if you were the CEO of a blue chip corporation, whom might you employ to lead the way for your business. a proven winner, or a guy with a cuddly face, who had won nothing?
Why are you so bothered about what Poch does next. It’s boring
Klopps game plan changed after a minute when they scored the first penalty sit back soak up the pressure,didn’t have to attack,a bit like what Jose is doing with us at the minute ,like when we scored early against City. The second Origi goal came with us chasing the game. Klopp knew the result was more important than the performance.After beating Barcelona 4.0 I don’t think they were scared of Spurs.Ive just been reminded I was on the sauce a bit early that day and could be completely wrong.
The UCL final I watched, Liverpool were sh*t scared of THFC & weren’t better than Ajax had played.
Agreed.
Same scenario as Sir Alf Ramsey in ’66, not recalling Jimmy Greaves after an injury for Sir Geoff Hurst & we all know what happened there.
Moura has only ever proved really inspired in that one match though hasn’t he? Liverpool were a different proposition to Ajax.
IMO nice fellow he is he made a bad call in the CL final though selecting Kane over Moura and found wanting on other occasions. Managers earn their corn living and falling on big decisions. Probably not have made any difference but given that Mourra was buzzing after his heroics against Ajax in the semi final it was in hindsight a bad call omitting Mourra from the starting X1 but a rather predictable one!!
Make that BOTCH.
Are we still going on about Notch ? Yaaawwwnnn !
Poch proved that he is a miracle worker to get us into 4 years of CL on a shoestring budget and being given mostly crappy players by Levy, few of whom he actually wanted. Give him a few quid and watch him go. Given the luxury that Mou has of 2 decent players for each position and of course he would have won trophies.
