Liverpool fan here, and it's obviously Mourinho. Mourinho came in and did something pretty unbelievable in taking on Ferguson and Wenger and wiping the floor with them for a couple of seasons, then coming back after success abroad and winning it again. You don't have to denigrate Klopp and his legacy of finally winning Liverpool a PL, winning them a CL, 103 out of 105 points over 2 seasons (i.e. having one of the country's greatest ever teams for 18 months) ... all while taking on the might of Guardiola's oil juggernaut ... in order to give Mourinho his due. Mourinho is only definitively behind Pep and Fergie in the PL greatest ever list.

It’s mourinho but Klopp had arguably one of the best teams ever for about 18 months. 103 points out of 105 at one point. Won the title earlier than any team ever (in terms of game week) and later than any team ever (in terms of calendar year) which is a strange record to hold lol but they were unstoppable for a time.

As a Liverpool fan, I have to be honest and say it has to be Mourinho. The man won three PL Titles across two stints and that's what gives him the edge. But don't get me wrong, its a close battle.

@@mehmetsheza1651 I don't know why people still believe this nonsense that Klopp isn't funded by his owners, forgetting that Klopp prefers training players over signing them. Klopp has never been a checkbook manager. If he were, he would have gone to a rich club like Madrid with unlimited resources. He chose Liverpool because he believes in FSG's philosophy of buying young and developing them. This is why he extended his contract not once, but twice with Liverpool. No one would extend their contract in a company if they feel their hands are tied. When Rodgers was sacked, two managers were favorites to be Liverpool manager: Klopp and Ancelotti. FSG chose Klopp over Ancelotti because Ancelotti told them Liverpool needed a new spine to be able to perform with the current squad. Klopp, on the other hand, said he was comfortable working with the current squad. This is why, in January, which was Klopp's first transfer window since he came mid-season, Klopp never bought a new player.

Gerrard was the complete midfielder who could play any role in the middle and excel, and that's exactly what he did. Lampard was a glorified attacking mid/centre forward who had a multitude of good defensive mids covering him, along with some of the best forwards to supply. His job was easier. When Lampard played for England, you could see his flaws when playing deeper.

Whilst I agree with Rory on why Arsenal didn't win the league being games they threw away, you cant deny someone like Ivan Toney would be an upgrade on Jesus, whilst still allowing arsenal to play the way they do with Martinelli/Saka/Trossard/Odegaard. He definitely cant with Chelsea's record against them 😂 I'm sure I've seen Rory talk down Arsenal's "invincible" season so I respect the shamelessness of using it here whilst ignoring he had unlimited budget & still ended up getting the boot. Where were they in the league when he was sacked the second time round? That 2nd place is the biggest myth in football. He signed a lot of those players and would have only won 1 out of the last 10 EPL's with that point tally & its on GD to Leicester. Klopps 'legacy' is still to be determined, if he only wins one league title, it will always be that he only managed the one, If he manages to rebuild this Liverpool side and win it again, it'll be that.

The lampard and gerrard debate is a good one and i do aggree with ade, im a united fan and we had pogba, his reputation is how poor he was but if you go and look at some off the successful passes he made which should have led to an assist, youll see how his reputation would be looked at now if the woeful players in front of him would have actually finished them

[@olavjorvik94]

Suarez, to me, is THE best 9 of all time. If we remove CR7 out of the equation, as he was RW, ST and LW at times. I rate him above Benz, Lewa, Kane, Zlatan, Shearer, Müller, R9, anyone. Prime Suarez between 2013 and 2018 was unstoppable. There’s a video on KZbin of all his Liverpool goals, it’s an absolute insane watch. Banger after banger. About 2 tap ins in total in the red shirt, rest was screamers and solo raids. Not to talk about his Barcelona run, and then to win the league first try with Atletico, when their lord and savour Griezmann went the other way and lost out. 2 golden boots, against Messi and Ronaldo. All the assists. My all time XI? He makes it in, every time.

Something people seem to forget that legacies can also be tarnished. Klopp's lowest low in charge of Liverpool was finishing 5th(?), Jose has absolutely plummeted 2+ other clubs in the league. Hes gotten sacked what, 3 times? His legacy takes a hit with these events which imo makes it more of a close call than most think.

[@Artemis_simetrA]

Great point there. Jose, whom i absolutely admired even as a liverpool fan, kinda felt sorry for him towards the bitter end of his Premier league days.

[@Cr7KaKa8BeNzEmA9]

Lol what clubs did Jose "absolutely plummet"? He made Chelsea into a big club so obviously not them. Utd he took to their best league finish in the last 10 years so not them. Spurs have always been a joke club so they don't really count. As far as getting sacked.. Spurs sacked him right before a cup final, that's a reflection of them not Jose. Utd have been an absolute joke since Fergie so that doesn't mean much. Chelsea he was the victim of his own success. Turned them into a big club winning trophies every year so the expectations changed, Roman wanted success every year and sacked anyone who didn't get it. Klopp meanwhile had the good fortune of landing at Liverpool, a loser club who had no expectations so he was afforded the time to build the team how he wanted. Klopp's first 2 full seasons Liverpool finished 4th and 4th, do you honestly think he would have lasted under Roman with those finishes? This is a guy who sacked Ancelotti for finishing 2nd literally 1 year after winning the EPL and FA cup double. So yeah, sacking and what not doesn't mean much.

Akins take of mou and Klopp made no sense, yes Chelsea spends money for squads but he completely ignored the fact klopp broke signing records with buying VVD and Allison Chelsea first time round was buying players for 20-35m and made a team out of the spending that only bought in 2 players for Liverpool. Same again in 2012 Chelsea bought 5/6 players at 25-40 mill each and made another team to win multiple leagues. Liverpool are yet to do that since they won the league. Cannot compare mou and klopp cause mou is just head and shoulders above majority coaches (pep, Ferguson and wenger being the only 3 who’ve come close)

Winning trophies with Liverpool is not equal to winning it with Chelsea (especially when Mourinho was there), how many Chelsea managers have won major trophies? Ancelotti won the PL and FA Cup, Di Matteo won the CL(!) and FA Cup, Benitez won the EL, Conte won the PL and FA Cup, Sarri won the EL, Tuchel won the CL, etc. Sure Mourinho is the best manager Chelsea have had in the modern era but it's not just a case of 3x PL vs 1x PL, context matters.

[@Anon97123]

And who started that? Who instilled that winning mentality in the players? Chelsea hadn't won a title for 50 years before Mourinho. First season 95 points, 15 goals conceded, 1 loss, retained the title, Cup double in the third season. Champions League semis in like all seasons. Then came back 10 years later and won the title in a different era. He's also the best post Fergie United manager. That club is broken.

Now Man City has the cream of players alone, sort of a greedy team and the teams of this generation are easier for Man City because they are weaker. I would have loved to see a Pep team play against a team with say Gerald, Carragher, Torres, etc: or Rooney, Christiano, or John Terry, Lampard, Drogba, Cavalho, etc. You guys saw how Pep's Barcelona struggled in the Champions league in almost all meetings with that Chelsea team.

I think it's always difficult to compare different eras. I'm sure if The Normal One was there at the same time The Special One was at Chelsea, Mourinho's legacy would have been less special.

If Mourinho was the one who took over Liverpool in 2016 with financial problems we have he would not have won the league. Klopp built a team that can compete based on his philosophy.

Wrong it’s the total amount of goals you score not if halland score 30. Arsenal last year and this year scored the most or almost most goals. 88 goals last year and 23 in just a quarter of this season gone. Plus if that one striker is injured or is off form then the team loses but if we have 4 scorers then when 1 is out the other 3 can score. Plus Defense wins leagues not offense. Midfield is even more Important than the front line. If we get a top scorer then Saka martinelli odegard would all score less goals as they have to change how they play to support this top striker. Defense is priority. I would take another Saka or an inside forward/winger to rotate with Saka and or martinelli. A fit Thomas partey would do more for this team than an Ivan toney.
