He wasn't called " Klopp the flop " for nothing.

Haha yer to most non supporters more so for they disliked seeing LFC be strong again and yes fail at some stages of his tenure luving to put the boot in so to speak.
Some and I mean some LFC supporters disliked his throw everything at it kind of game instead of closing up shop but overall he’s been brilliant for the Club/Liverpool and the game……
You can’t have it all but it’s been an awesum 9yrs overall I’d re live it again in a heart beat compared to the fits and starts of years before.

General consensus is we might see Douglas at Macarthur in 2 years, or will he return, that might be a bit leyte?  Must admit there's somthing about a pre season Brazilian signing that gets you enthusiastic again about being a SFC fan..  

I think the line was "I will return" :P ... and it pans out he wasn't "Lleyte" at all.. hahahah nice reference made me smile.

oi 70's and 80's :) my correction and yes overlooked your biggest club statement for yes thats LFC not RM haha but yer he failed there.
We're pretty harsh but thats us armchair devotees.
Oh look out Sutho joined the party :) we're all good eh even though I'm 17,040.49klms away from Anfield lol.......
Yes Boot Room was in the "zone" those days as robbos mentions we had it all and definately one of THE Clubs those 2 decades as you all know.
Sutho for clarity who was the flop ? Rafa or Klopp ?

As LFC will tell you, Liverpool not my fav team, but Klopp didn't have the financial backing of the 'boot room managers' where Liverpool were the Man City of the 80s, both in terms of winning trophies & financial powerhouse.

Manchester City are not a patch on Liverpool of the 70's and 80's.

For a start, Liverpool up until Dalglish was the manger, rarely if ever bought 2 players in a season. Most seasons they won the league and European cup with a squad of 16 or less.

Absolutele disrespect to Rafa on here shake my head 

way of the world my friend, forever in our hearts he is, went though a roller coaster ride but the highs we're bloody brilliant and certain players that excelled playing for him.
One who now is a Bundas undefeated Champ gaffa.
I'll give him more cred he believes SG is better than CR7 hahaha box to box absolutely :)

He actually done better than you expect - lost good players brought in some cracker players and did win 4 Cups but also went through a woeful ownership period.
robbos Souness/Woy and KK mk2 had worse win ratio than Rafa incl BR.

Anyway lets get back on topic as much as I enjoy this subject :)

yeah Mono, surprised you here talking A-league, you called the demise of the A-league after season end & the rise of the 4 teams NST that was going to take the footballing world in this country by storm. Unlike you, I am a football fan ahead of my little old club, so I'm rooting for the revolutionised 4 team competition, play each other 10 times & all teams straight to semis. Lets go, you got me interested, maybe not in any teams, but I'm all for revolutions in football in this country because nothing else seems to work.

Who are you rooting? Hope its fun for you and you got consent first.....

I dont think any of the "bitter faces" will know if he has scored or not Robbo ... maybe the rest of the football world will be talking about it so much that the thousands of fans busting down the turnstiles to see old Dougie will make enough noise that they will save the Aleague for ya... good luck.

I know he was bright in Liverpool.:w00t:

Hence why I laughed at his opinion, mine was different.

He succeeded at Liverpool, not to Klopp level, but did well, he failed miserably in the biggest club in the world, as a matter of fact probably the worst manager there in recent memory, maybe that clouded his judgement.

I support the A-league and would love to see football being successful in Australia in all forms, but I will also call it out when we need to get better. 

Like I said, think you were pointing out silly statements, others were showing their bias.

I saw this & took this with a grain of salt. However, we complain that the A-League does not promote, here we have the A-league promoting.
This is the first player signing that I have seen on mainstream TV for the A-League this season, so already this is a good thing.

Douglas Costa is a seriously good player, I saw him a lot when the great man Ronaldo was playing with him in Juve, he is a serious baller, that was only 3-4 years ago

The fact that at 33 years of age he is in the A-League does show that yes injuries, attitude, commitment maybe not there, who knows. Will he succeed or fail, I certainly don't know as some of you posters (not you TSF), who are all already calling him a failure. All I know for a fact is some of my mates are now interested in coming to SFC to see him play, whereas last season even with free tickets I couldn't get them to come.
Now if Dustin Martin does sign for Manly Warringah Wolves for next season Sydney AFL would I go & watch, don't think so, I would go WHO?
The beauty of A-League off Fox sports, I now have no Foxsports, but Stan, Optus & Paramount & proud to say I cannot tell you one AFL player.

Well said son.

Good luck to Douglas. Hopefully he still has some long range bombs in that left foot of his like he did in around Football Manager 2010.

I just am a much bigger supporter of the Central Coast type of model that is investing in local grassroots talent sprinkled in with shrewd well scouted overseas players with a point to prove. I believe this bodes well for the future of the game rather than investing in cringe clickbait. 

In saying that I will also be very happy if he does a Joe Lolley and absolutely tears it up!
