Liverpool thread 2019/20

Thought Mane did his hammy last night

I put him in my fantasy team. My fault.

Are they really as good a side as the results and table positions suggests or have we and the other so called challengers just really regressed and allowed them a free run at it?

Over the last two seasons, it’s been a two-horse race. The top two’s points tallies have been amazing. The other runners, who normally fight for top 4, have been comparatively shit. Changes of manager, transfer ban, “transition” and so on.

This year we have regressed and nobody else is challenging, hence the size of the gap.

But they are smashing everybody and heading for a new points record. They are an excellent, highly motivated team whose playing style is sweeping the board until others find a way to counter. Without over-egging it, they’ve had a good share of luck too.

 

[Hesperus]

Wolves had them under the cosh for most of the second half and they looked leggy and vulnerable. They will no doubt clinch the title, but I see points being dropped between now and may

I hope you’re right. Can’t be doing with them going unbeaten and breaking records. My grandkids would never hear the end of it and I’m not likely to have any of those for another 20 years at least.

Many on here were arguing we are the best prem team of all time so what happens when this lot break our records?

They'll be classed as the best ever by their adoring media, irrespective of whether they beat our points total or not.
Personally, i think they'll smash it unfortunately but then i never looked on us as the best ever when we ended up with 100pts

Can you include a few more of them ?

 

[Ric]

they are not good enough outside of the premier league with VAR and will come unstuck

Come on, they've reached back to back CL finals and are joint favourites (with us) this season too. I don't think even you believe it when you keep attributing their success solely to VAR.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Only by breaking the program.
I see I even made him captain, to completely screw up my team this week.

Nobody outside of our fanbase gave us the credit we deserved for the last two seasons.
Think it’s fair to say that won’t be the case when they win it this time around.

 

[Ric]

I have an awful feeling these bastards might do the treble, everyone is rolling over for them, no injuries, if they get past athletico they can rest players in the league to go for the cups as it will have been done an dusted.

Still annoyed that Everton managed to fuck it up against their reserves in the FA Cup 3rd round. Hoping for a Simeone masterclass in the CL (1-0 at home, 0-0 away) but they're not as good as they once were.

Aren’t you the cynic...

If they rest too much in the league they won't go unbeaten or break our points record.

Surely that will give us the impetus to try to break their records next season.Even great sides,of which we are one,need new horizons to aim for.

The impression that the Dippers are smashing teams is wide of the mark , they are just doing enough to win games , they have won eleven games by the odd goal , and half of those could be classed as fortunate , they are not out classing opposing teams but winning becomes a habit and opposing teams now fear them
The Dippers will only lose one game this season at the Etihad because we will hopefully be at full strength and barring VAR and Michael Oliver we will beat them, on the day i would back our first eleven against there's any day of the week , really hope we draw them again in the Champs league , preferably in final , we have unfinished business with these f*ckers.

Think Klopp has said how City raised the bar and that it helped motivate them. Hopefully it'll have the same effect on us next season.

We’d probably have to win at least 35 out of 38 to beat the records they’re going to set, drawing 2 of the other 3! We seem a long way off that! It’s a ridiculous run.

Losing the title with 97 points has cut deep , and Klopp has used this as motivation for this season , disregarding VAR and luck etc. etc. they have been the most consistent team , and deserve to be where they are , but we were constantly reminded when we walked the title in 2018 that truly great teams have to win back to back titles. It will be interesting if Klopp can keep on going back to the same nine players he uses in virtually every game and if he will be able to flog them to death for another season.

Me too. I blame Sterling. :) He was my regular captain until he hit the buffers.

To be fair if they set the bar that high I can’t see anyone ever doing that again.

Liverpool have got the best defence in Europe and that is their base for everything. Klopp has made them incredibly resilient. Some elements of their fanbase are despicable but surely even our most diehard fans must see that they are a magnificent team. Personally I think ourselves and now Liverpool have transformed the quality of English football. I don't accept those people who are starting to say the Premier League is weak. For me that's bollocks. English teams have dominated the final stages of both European competitions in recent years. Internationally Premier League players have dominated the latter stages of the World Cup and European Championships (England got third place) while Belgium is packed with English-based players.
English football is packed with more talented young players than ever. Don't listen to the bitter Rags who claim the Premier League is weak. They re just trying to devalue the success of their two strongest rivals.
