I understand that we were also in the market for another keeper to give him some competition for his place I saw a tweet last week from someone saying Chelsea were considering selling Kepa in this upcoming summer and looking to replace him with Nick Pope. Which tbh, I think is a bit weird as I'm pretty certain Pope's statistically one of the worst performing keepers in the league this season going off this: https://statsscoreindex.com/20200114/stats-perform-goalkeeper-rankings-jan-15/ - and that's while playing behind 2 flat rows of 4 most of the time at Burnley. Would be a bit of a worry if you put him behind a side that plays more progressive football, like Lampard's goal is with Chelsea. It's probably just twitter bollocks though. Quote

Didn't read any of that and yea, would be a bit silly to look at offloading him, sure he needs to improve but with all our defensive errors it would be unfair to lay the blame just at his door, having said that he is just as guilty of making the some costly howlers as those in front of him so having another keeper to keep him focused wouldn't do him any harm... To be fair it has been, and always was going to be a bit of a mixed bag season going with the youngsters and the transfer ban etc... Edited January 31, 2020 by Bluewolf Quote
Cicero Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 You should already know it’s bollocks. According to Twitter these past seasons, we’ve signed Crouch, King, Butland, Lacelles, and Dunk Quote

Not all twitter sources are equal, obviously Quote

To be fair it has been, and always was going to be a bit of a mixed bag season going with the youngsters and the transfer ban etc... He's still very young for a keeper. You've got a young side with a young manager, I feel like howlers are a given this season. 1 Quote
Burning Gold Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 It's not the howlers that are the problem for Kepa. It's that he doesn't fucking save anything. 1 Quote

Do they need teaching? Wasn’t an issue with Sarri or Conte. (And don’t tell me David Luiz was the difference) The amount of goals we’ve conceded this season from set pieces is horrific. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was genuinely 80-90% Quote
DeadLinesman Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Whilst the occasional ‘swear word’ is said in interviews, is it a bit cringe that he does it all the time? I’m genuinely not being bitter . Quote

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted February 2, 2020 Subscriber Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) This guy grows on you, he says more than shit Planet Football - 8th May 2019 Jurgen Klopp was typically passionate after Liverpool's stunning comeback against Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final at Anfield on Tuesday night. Liverpool overturned a 3-0 first-leg deficit with a 4-0 win over Barcelona, secured thanks to braces from Divock Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum. Straight after the final whistle, Klopp ran to embrace James Milner, who was in tears after becoming overwhelmed by emotion, and the Reds boss did not hide his own feelings in his interview with BT Sport. To be fair to Klopp, at least he had the decency to check it was past the watershed before lauding his “f*cking unbelievable” players, and he’s more than happy to pay any fine which comes his way.

Oh, theres nothing wrong with swearing persay, this is me of course lol! I just think you’re a professional giving interviews. The occasional is fine by my, but it’s almost as if it’s not natural and he’s trying to find a way to slip it in sometimes. Quote
Rick Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 I’d argue that it’s more natural having the odd swear word than being prim and proper. At least he’s not trying to be somebody he isn’t. He’s hardly saying “fuck” and “cunt”, the odd “shit” Is alright though. Quote
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted February 2, 2020 Subscriber Posted February 2, 2020 Well...this guy used to sware a lot, off camera and on camera. Quote
