Pep / Klopp - media

Pep has come under intense media scrutiny this season.

My question is simply...

Why has the media gone for Pep, yet hasn't gone for Klopp to the same extent?

Yes, they have on several occasions and I have heard pundits on the radio saying it too.

If you could be bothered to read the thing you're complaining about like on the BBC site on the first page you'll see a writer, who happens to be an Everton fan criticising Klopp as well as several pundits, throughout. Although it makes it more fun to say 'they're all against our manager and Klopp never gets the blame, wah wah'. Some people need to grow up.

Klopp has Liverpool sat in the top 4, that's good progress for us.

So he's doing a good job.

Most everyone who knows anything about football would have had much, much higher expectations of Guardiola than Klopp. Ones a serial winner and the other tries very hard and is good for a cup final appearance here and there (until this season)
So obviously Pep is bound to get a harder time than Jeurgen, aside from Liverpool luvvies in the media and their cretinous set of deluded supporters, not many actually believe that Liverpool amount to much in the modern game. You don't go nearly 30 years without winning your own league and still think of yourselves as a big club unless, of course, you are unfortunate to be one of their own set of rather special little wannabe half wits on here.

Pep displayed arrogance and ignorance over his dropping of Hart. Completely misunderstood the need for a different type of keeper in the EPL. Next year will be a better time to judge him.

Klopp has learnt a lot quicker, but, compared to Pep, he has a lot of detritus to deal with. Klopp has actually over achieved with his squad, whilst Pep has hugely under achieved with his.

Why would anyone have especially high expectations for Guardiola? He has had it handed to him on a plate for his whole managerial career until now. Klopp has never had that luxury, and still managed to succeed.

SWTN has never heard of Pat Nevin, Andy Townsend, Jason Cundy, Ruud Gullit, Dennis Wise, Gianluca Vialli, Marcel Desailly, Frank Lampard amongst others.

He has only heard of pundits who have played for Liverpool.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
With the exception of Pat Nevin, none of the others are regulars and only one other sometimes get a voice in the newspapers. Not even a close comparison

Only took a fortnight to come up with a response.

It's a perfectly valid comparison.

All of those pundits work for the 'Liverpool biased' media.

You are just too bitter to see how stupid you are.

first time i saw it...it was only your post on th sun thread that made be look back.

Not bitter at all,why would i be bitter of Liverpool?

If you go back to the origin I said it was only natural down to the club's dominance in late 70s and 80s that they would create this generation.

You need to lighten up and lose that chip of your shoulder.
