Gigenpress is his tactic which he single handedly perfected. It's not a dinosaur tactic, far from it.

This same argument you're using to discredit Klopp is exactly the same one you can use to discredit Mourinho. Mourinho was poor in his first years too, and he was in the same position with Chelsea which Klopp was in at Dortmund. But people look past both of those performances because of what they've done positively.

Klopp is a good man motivator, and his side usually peaks into his second and third years in charge, like at Dortmund. Pulis doesn't press, he parks the bus and tries to smash and grab a 1-0 victory. If you are not at your best against Klopp, he will make sure to punish your every mistake and beat you hands down. Liverpool while they are deficient now is not necessarily because of him, other than Coutinho, Clyne, and one or two other outfield players, I can't see past a pub team tbh. A very fit pub team however. Klopp isn't the long term option either, but he is the kind of manager who will make them good into his second year.

Klopp in my opinion is fairly rated, the British media loves him though so they do tend to make him sound better than he perhaps is.
