Liverpool have won their last 5 games without a ‘wow performance’, they’ve looked like not winning each and every one of them.I'm not interested in talking about press narratives, it's the road to mental ruin bothering with that shite, it will and does drive people potty:-)
Anyhow i was just replying to your post as it was. What we need is a Wow performance, the last two games do not fit into that category imho and there have been some ott giddiness but that's what being a supporter is sometimes.
Let's hope we are very happy indeed after the weekend. I'm holding out for that really good performance in one of those big big games.
I think that’s fair except the comparison with the treble winners. No team will ever be as good as they were.As mad as it sounds, I don’t think we played brilliantly against United. We conceded too many chances and were lucky that they are absolutely shite. We were good to create more chances ourselves - but an absolute mile off how controlled we were in 22/23.
Last night was significantly better, but clearly supported by the early red card.
I don’t think we should be getting giddy after two games. Arsenal will be a real test on Sunday (sorry to be negative, just an honest view).
I dont think we are quite ready for a wow performance yet but im quite liking that they are willing to put the grind in, the team look like they are happy to fight which hasnt been noticeable for sometime.I'm not interested in talking about press narratives, it's the road to mental ruin bothering with that shite, it will and does drive people potty:-)

Fair point. I suppose I could make the same argument for any season in that '4-in-a-row' team. I think we're showing promising signs that we COULD get back to those levels. But a bit of patience is required.I think that’s fair except the comparison with the treble winners. No team will ever be as good as they were.
This just like when Utd were good ( in the dark and distant past )and lost a game it was because Utd were shit that game ,but when they won it was because they were brilliant, no mention then that their opponents were shit ,Press ,Media and fans alike can be just be so fickle to suit their agenda(s)Erm lets not get too giddy and united are crap (agree with you there) and napoli are stubborn but limited ( 1 defeat in 25 says you were a bit off there) so yeah it responded to what you said that when city win its cos the other teams are poor, i went off on a tangent but the original bit where i said that we can only win cos the other teams are poor is effectively responding to what you said.
Oooh now theres a debate as i think the centurions have a shout for it.I think that’s fair except the comparison with the treble winners. No team will ever be as good as they were.
I love your positivity, mate!Donnarumma looks like he has given a few a wake up call, tonight we looked like we wouldn't be bullied
the spine of our team needs to be
Donnarumma
Diaz or Stones
Foden
Rodri
Silva
Haarland
Every one of them would get in Liverpool and Arsenals starting 11 IMO!
All SEVEN of them are treble winners and all are captains! That experience and attitude is exactly what united had in the early 2000's under Ferguson! if the above players want it like they did tonight, the rest of the squad will give everything they have to be part of it, and raise their game!
If we carry on wanting it like we did tonight, teams will soon be scared of playing us again, and be beat before they step foot on the pitch! just like in 2023!
Foden was born to do this, David Silva was his teacher!
He didn't though did he...Helps when your captain doesn’t say he’ll trade his medals in for a Europa League.
looks like now or never chat has took place but early days yetDoku looks like hes starting to get it

I very much hope so.Doku looks like hes starting to get it
them crosses are Kolarov'esk boom low and hard looking forward to more of it as confidance growsDonna coming in has helped, but I think Khus' attitude helps the team. The guys a beast and seeing him leather players will get the team going
I love your positivity, mate!
But if every single one of Donnarumma, Diaz, Stones, Foden, Rodri, B. Silva and Haaland magically transfer to Liverpool and become available to play...
I think that Foden (on current excellent form) and Rodri would start.
Haaland doesn't particularly fit Liverpool's system - but might start ahead of Isak given that he's more prolific at scoring.
No way that Donnarumma, Diaz, Stones, or Silva make the first choice starting 11 for Liverpool most times.
A fully fit - injury free Stones would make his way into Liverpool's side. But due to injury he'd often be unavailable.
Do you actually think for an instant that Liverpool would be happy to trade Alisson for Donnarumma and VVD for Gvardiol? It's a downgrade in both positions - and a keeper that doesn't fit their style of play.Alisson and VVD are 33 and 34 respectively. Virtually any team would rather have Donna (26) and Gvardiol (23), unless the time horizon is 6 months. I think Gvardiol will have a better season than VVD anyway, and objectively there isn't much between Donna and Alisson right now. Donna outperformed him last season, including in the tie between Liverpool and PSG.
