I believe there was a discussion about Jurgen Klopp and the Neville brothers going on here and I thought I'd contribute, but it seems that everybody has got bored with talking about football and it's morphed into a careers resume..?

When my daughter is in full time school, I intend to go back to uni to take my Phd. I just thought you'd all like to know.


To summarise the topic though:

Klopp: Is right to defend his player.

G Neville: Is entitled to an opinion even if he was a rotten manager.

Carragher: Hasn't even tried to be a manager, because he's either chicken or (more likely) possesses a sound self-awareness of his abilities and is savvy enough to not overreach himself. Take your pick. He's entitled to an opinion too though. Which is what Sky pay him for.

Karius: Just do your job and answer the critics with your performances. If you can.

Overall: The whole nonsense is yet another trivial, petty, storm in a teacup which, frankly, is a matter of monumental unimportance to anything.
Which begs the question; Was there any need for the rest of that waffle?

let's start a petition?

Pundits doing their job, Klopp within his right to defend his player if he wants to or he was pushed to. But i don't believe that him reacting deflects attention from the player or is clever or whatever. It just protracts the discussion and puts even more focus on the keeper in the next game

Its a no win situation for the manager

Pundit: Player A is rubbish

Manager: Well you can't talk, you were an abject failure yourself!

Pundit: Manager deflecting

At least Klopp is walking the walk where we now all know neville is only talking the talk.

Has every pundit thats turned manager been a failure?

Shearer, Neville - who else?

His job is to talk the talk

Klopp job is to walk the walk

So both are doing their jobs very well according to you

Neville doesn't fit the high standards set by football punditary.

Being a dirty red doesn't help either!
