Liverpool thread 2019/20

[cookster]

I can’t stand Liverpool but I don’t think Klopp is too bad a bloke actually.

He's sound when their winning but a grade A c@nt when their not.
Not a bad trait in a manager but it gets pathetic when you're blaming rain, grass and snow for dropping points.

 

[ScottSinclair]

I’d say he’s the third best. Conte is better in my opinion.

I like Conte, but I feel like hes everything they say Pep is. He needs backing and every little detail just as he wants it or else he throws a tantrum.

What I really respect with Klopp is that he really tries to get the best out of every resource he have, but he still has the nous to be ruthless when the opportunity comes across.

He has also shown he is willing to basically sacrifise his own philosophy if it makes his chances to win higher. Put it this way, however as much results the current Scouseball yields its pretty fucking far from the "heavy metal" football Dortmund mesmerized the world with. But this can be used both for and against him I guess.

Conte and Pep are the my way or the highway type managers, do as they say and you will dominate, not just in results but you would look unbeatable. And even though Klopps Liverpool basically have been unbeatable the last couple of seasons, theyve never looked like it imo, and always looked like a bubble ready to burst.
But tbf that bubble might well be Klopp, similiar to Ferguson at United

Anyone else have to spend Xmas day with dippers?

Two nephews were crowing about being champions of the world and having done it using "earnt" money. Neither has seen Liverpool live let alone been to Anfield and had never heard of Heysel.

I argued with them for a few minutes, tried to set them straight about a few things but, after their claims that they have been hard done by by VAR this season realised life is too short to cure dipperism - it really is a cult

Really ? Cant think of one other manager that stands on the half way staring out the other team as they warm up. Seems like a right knobhead to me !!

It's all about him and his ego.

The toothy **** won't rest until a statue of him dressed as the club shop is put outside Klanfield.

Aren’t all managers egomaniacs?


If they’re any good, that is.

Fair point.

I suppose it's the way it manifests itself in public.

 

[MCFC ISRAEL]

They have the two best full backs in the world along with the best CB in the world. That's all the difference between us and unfortunately it's a huge difference.

 

[Blue Maverick]

It’s simple football, go long and run into it or get it wide and get some bloody good crosses in, the law of averages say it will go in eventually. Teams struggle with the lace of it all that third showed it, simple football. We score loads ye but our build up is so slow sometimes we struggle, when we play fast paced football like Leicester at home last week no one can live with us. These twats will go unbeaten until we play them and then we hopefully will beat them and as long as they don’t beat our 100 I’ll be happy.

 

[Worzel Gummidge#9]

They're too good (consistently) this season. Simple as that, a bitter pill to swallow yes but sometimes credit where due.

 

[city2]

They do put a lot of balls in the box I noticed tonight, something we don’t do a lot of because we hardly ever have 3 players in there unlike the scousers

 

[Dr Jacoby]

I’m beginning to hate them almost as much as some of the squads United assembled under Ferguson. Whilst they don’t play particularly eye-catching football, they seem stronger and more resilient than any team in the world at the moment. They have sublime attacking full-backs, three top class forwards, the best defender in the game, a reliable midfield and a brilliant coach....who I’d never tire of punching.

Unfortunately their first PL title is now a formality. I just pray they don’t break our points record. It would be a great shame if they did.

 

[TFC]

Fair play to the ****s, it'll be easy enough for me to have a media blackout when they clinch it. Feel for those back home who'll be subjected to a summer long sycophantic wank fest.

 

[Fordyboy46]

They aren't losing more than a couple of matches in the prem this season, let's just accept that.

 

[vin]

I don’t think they’ll lose 1.

 

[jrb]

On the plus side.

They will win title really early like we did, so for all other football fans it will be an anti-climax.

And their last game is away at Newcastle, so no lifting the PL trophy at Anfield and in-front if the KOP.

Small pluses.

PS. Their new Champions of the World chant is nauseating. Only the Scousers could make up a chant so quickly about winning a 2 game FIFA World 4 club tournament,

 

[Ardwick Green Blue]

Their energy levels are far higher than ours this season. We look mentally & physically exhausted whereas they seem to keep going at pace throughout their side.

The league is almost certainly gone unless there is a turnaround of the scale that hasn't been seen before. If that is the case we will have to take it on the chin and then go again.

I don't recall us being so entitled as to think that we should automatically win the league in my 50 plus years of match going so why start now?

Worse if they go unbeaten

I really started hating them when their followers (I refuse to use the word fans) attacked our team bus. And they started bending rules to get the points.
And unfortunately they will smash our records as there doesn't appear to be any team able to compete with them.
Our only hope of them missing out on our record is for 4 or 5 of their stars to suffer long term injuries at the same time.
