I think he's great. I love the passion, the humour, the lack of caring what he says. Such a great personality for the club, and selling point for players.
He is, of course, not perfect, but we are lucky to have him.
Positives
- Great football. Some of the best in my 25 years watching the club
- The club's purchases have drastically improved since he came on board. We seem to be getting the big signings correct now
- You get the sense that there is actually a long term vision and master plan in place, rather than shooting in the dark each season
- Unwilling to spend unless its the right fit
- Clear philosophy seems to have been integrated into the first team
- The classic celebrations
Negatives
- Has taken ages to sort the defense. Only now, 2 and a half years later, and after spending 75 mil on Van Dijk is it looking better (arguably). Worth remembering that Benitez made us the best defence in the league without spending a cent on the back four.
- In-game management has never convinced me. Quite slow to make adjustments when things arent working. Subs are often the wrong ones.
- I think there are far more tactically astute managers out there. Klopp seems to rely very much on attacking football and 'passion'
- Has had 5 transfer windows to sign a proper deep lying midfielder, but seems to have a blind spot in that regard
- His patience with Lovren is starting to seriously annoy me
