Liverpool thread 2019/20

[jimmygrimblesboots]

If you peruse recent media match reports , the general consensus is that the Dippers were brilliant whilst beating Leicester but Leicester were a "disappointment" when we beat them at the Etihad a few days previously. Just imagine how the media must wind the Rags up though , they have despised the Dippers for decades and any praise given to the Klopp and company must really be hurting them, in comparison we are wet behind the ears ,ive only despised them since the totally disrespectful coach attack.

Go on tell us the three. Liverpool have had more luck over the past two season to last a lifetime.

Bournemouth away - deflection for winner (Raheem sent off after winner scored, so made no difference)

Huddersfield away - deflection off Raheem for the winner

Southampton at home - Raheem scores winner in very generously awarded part of injury time

Also thought we got the rub of the green away against Newcastle and United.

It’s simply not possible to go on a winning run like that and not get the rub of the green. To suggest otherwise is absurd.

So, referees helped us as much in 17/18 as they have helped Liverpool this season?

Where have I said that? Why do people try to keep putting words into my mouth? I’m perfectly capable of speaking for myself and am very well rewarded for so doing.

Personally, I prefer the manner in which we have won titles. Liverpool were great last night but most of the time they have been functional. In most of their games they don't look like a really special team, just a highly efficient machine. Klopp had to sacrifice beauty in order to stand a chance against City, despite us suffering bad injuries. From their perspective it's justified, since they're the only big club in the world that hasn't won a league title for decades. Not envy of their success, just glad I have the privilege to watch City play the way Pep wants us to play: which is to break records in a great (not functional) style.

The only record that Liverpool are likely to break is about most points, not most goals, best GD, most consecutive wins, etc.

They don't what?

They are more direct but can't pass the ball better than what we can do with the same amount of confidence they arte playing with

It doesn't harm to say that they have been helped by officials while recognising their quality. Both things are not mutually exclusive. Yet you prefer to give them credit while remaining silent about the circumstances which have helped them big time. You needed to be questioned to admit that, as great as they have been, they have been helped by officials to get to 17-1-0.

Liverpool stopped the run in 2017-2018 we can do the same (if we are allowed) to them

Fuck me there some grasping at straws there.

They aren't a posh wimbledon and are capable of playing it on the ground, some right bitter fuckers on here who can't accept that they are currently a better more balanced side than us.

They aren't that good.

Think the fixture in April is around the CL games. I hope we play in the CL quarters and concentrate on them. Would feel nice to beat them, of course.

Which one in particular?

 

[Rochdale Blue]

It doesn’t though, does it? Your point is another non-sequitur. Where have I or @Gray praised their playing style? We’re just saying they deserve a degree of credit for having a 17-1-0 record so far, which has no direct connection to their playing style despite what you’ve stridently claimed.

Oliver, Atkinson, Var and friends deserve a bit of credit for their part in that record. I'm not saying they don't deserve to be where they are, but the help they have had does take a bit of the shine off and they certainly aren't as good or entertaining as a fully fit and in form City team.

 

[Scottyboi]

They aren't that good.

Behave they have just won the champions league and are running away with the prem against our self titled ''best prem team ever''. How can they not be that good?

Needed to be questioned to admit it? Great cross examination technique there, mate. Well done.

Ok, that’s fair enough and agree that they aren’t as good as us, but that doesn’t make them less than a very good side.

They are running away with the prem against a team that has already won it twice, has been crippled by injuries and hampered by referees. It's not like they are competing with City 17-19.

Your posts were one-sided. You were willing to praise them while ignoring the circumstances of their success in the league this season.

They were 2 points off it last season, i'd say they have competed with our best and now they have overtaken us. Even with Laporte in the side of don't see our team winning them games we lost tbh.

 

[Rochdale Blue]

Don't be so bitter.

How is speaking the truth being bitter?
