It's a fair point. I don't really care in the grand scheme of things, but Stevie is a good example. For all his achievements with Liverpool, I can't help thinking he was an alienating presence for others at the club. If he'd been a bit less about himself and a bit more about bringing people together, he may well have finished his career with a Premier League medal or two. So I do think massively egotistical (albeit super-talented) players can upset the balance of a team, and have a detrimental effect on other players. Which is why as a general rule, I'd prefer to avoid them.
Yep, understood. Still want the scum to lose every match they play.
Am I wrong in thinking that Klopp also considers the personality of players before we sign them. Because it feels like we haven't had that much experience with cunts in our team since he took over.
I can only remember one player who annoyed him and that was Sakho but Klopp didn't sign him.

100%.
You are mate, all our players were cunts before we signed them (because every player who isn't a current Liverpool player is a cunt), Klopp turned that cuntness into loveable rogueness and now those that left are back to being cunts, well some of them.
Well his magic didn't really work on little Fabs
Fabs was a cuddly little giant and was a loveable rogue.
In any case no one's claiming him to be a magician but he's as close to one as you'll find.
Yeah, I mean JK is big on togetherness and pushing in one direction. it helps to not recruit wankers. And yes, it's idealistic, but IMHO if you have a tenacious leader that insists on minimal arseholes (and thus team politics), your team's energy goes in the right direction.
As a 27 year old, I was always shocked how sports teams, and even companies were hurt by internal conflict, when they could be soaring. I maintain that view all those years later (once mediocrity is not accepted)

No disagreement.
But I'd take Bellingham level cuntery over Mbappe level cuntery. There are limits.
Good point.
If any cunt on here justifies a Utd win by referring to the UEFA coefficient then they are ... well, a cunt
This always crops up but I just don't buy it. Gerrard seemed to have a notably good on-field relationship with the good players at the club. There are many reasons we failed to win a title during his time but I don't think his failing to turn the likes of Diao, Nunez, Josemi et al into worthy players is one of them.
Every winning squad (bar maybe Man City) has some plodders in it. And not everyone responds well to leadership by machismo. I'm not suggesting that the Diaos of this world would suddenly have become world-beaters with a bit more encouragement, but the Smicers might have had more to contribute. You only have to look at the team spirit of Klopp's Liverpool to appreciate how a a team can be greater than the sum of its parts. And having a captain who doesn't blast the ball at you in your first training session or roll their eyes/throw their arms up when you make a mistake during matches is absolutely a part of that.
slog
/slɒɡ/
verb
work hard over a period of time.
"they were slogging away to meet a deadline"
noun
a spell of difficult, tiring work or travelling.
"it would be a hard slog back to the camp"
He works hard init, and sounds like the first part of his name
Oh, right. At least it's not Slow-boszlai.
I saw that earlier. Not really a fair comparison imo. Ox and Keita weren't first choice that season.
Its about availability as well though.
because they couldn’t play themselves into favor.
A little too late last season, though. Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to defend them, but their time at the club was up even before the season started. If we could have sold them we would have, I think.
