Totally agree with you Ben. Guardiola wouldn't never have won PL with Leicester...

I'm pretty sure you are right. He seems to be a one trick pony: go to a rich team with a grocery list of players who can pass the ball around till everyone's sleeping. He certainly doesn't seem to be the guy who'll just make it do.

Forget Ranieri! Forget Guardiola! Klopp is the man. In just 7 months he brought passion, self belief and motivation and here we are ladies and gentlemen, heading again to the Europa League final.
Liverpool saved the honour of the English clubs in European competitions of 2016 that otherwise tend to become a Spanish affair.
And what a hell of a road to the final.....

Forget Ranieri ??? Are you ok ? How you can compare what he's done by winning the PL managing a side like Leicester , with an Europa League finale reached by Klopp ??? Without this finale, Klopp season would have been a total flop...

[gadjo_dilo]

In my opinion Champions League ( total flop for english teams ) and Europa League ( in case the Reds win it ) are more important than PL.
Besides, unlike Ranieri, Klopp is also a very charismatic guy.

Why should I follow the advice of an infatuated italian?

Because your infatuated Italian friend, care about your health

Does he?

Generally, nobody does.....

Klopp has hardly set the world alight in the Premier League and, unfortunately (for the competition itself), the Europa League doesn't seem to be of interest to too many teams. When accidentally some top team ends up in Europa League, they usually take it half-assed and are out rapidly. But it's still good for small teams like Liverpool

Klopp has hardly set the world alight in the Premier League :

He signed just 7 months before. Maybe they lost some matches but the team plays different since he came. In 7 months he brought Liverpool to 2 finals, Europa League and Capital One Cup ( lost vs M City, on penalties )

and, unfortunately (for the competition itself), the Europa League doesn't seem to be of interest to too many teams. When accidentally some top team ends up in Europa League, they usually take it half-assed and are out rapidly. But it's still good for small teams like Liverpool

Yeah....I reckon that's why Man Utd and Borussia Dortmund lost against Liverpool. To countinue it would have been a waste of time and energy for a poor amount of money....
