What I need to know for my own judgement of arrogance is what I see from you, which is arogance. Certain people beg, borrow, and steal formations and behave like it was their work all along, You are not one of these characters, but I'm sure we can all think of a few examples. @vgates (sorry to drag his good name into this) and I among many, many others in this very PL you strut around are the masters of our own destiny, for better, for worse. Perhaps also too proud to ask for help, but (arrogance from me) generally capable of seeing a problem, fixing it, creating a new problem, fixing it, repeat. We can read the game.

In public you are a totally different character to behind the scenes. In public you are a smartass, a tactical genius with all the answers, but behind the scenes you need assistance from people you call sensei, master, or whatever. When things are going well, you advertise it, not for public interest but to show off how clever you are and how easy Div 3 is. When you lose, I get a PM asking what went wrong. If what you have said is here on the forum is true, that you haven't seen fit to edit your formation in 2 seasons, then you are truly the best manager in the game. Your formation is so good you don't even need to adapt it for your opponents. Nobody you've played has come close to your brilliance. Unless you lose.

My problem with all this is the lack of public humility. I am quite prepared to be a sounding board for semi-intelligent mutual tactical discussion for anybody in this PL, but not as a fairweather one-way resource of information. I don't consider myself good at this game, but I expect any advice, to be taken with a pinch of salt and a large side order of humility and appropriate behavior in the forum, which is very often lacking with you, Klopp. Clever, though you may be, you don't have to act like you know it.

You are welcome, Klopp. It doesn't need to be taken too personally, but in a week when I come home from vacation and see you have been saying how you have unbeatable tactics and writing here and on Striker News about how easy Div 3 is, and then at the same time Whatamidoinghere posts a great article reminiscing about Vinny D, I am sure I'm not the only one seeing at least some similarities!
Consider this my attempt to offer you advice in the same way someone can, in a way, help another person get to hospital by kicking them all the way there...

You even act like you don't read forum.
