On course to go out with a whimper at the moment.
Our performances seem to be going in one direction and we've actually become boring to watch. We've stopped pressing, half the players are out of form, his selections are getting predictable and turning out predictably bad.
I don't know what's going on with Pep but he needs to start doing something to change things, because it's only a matter of time before we drop more points and go out of cups if we carry on this path.
We've had some annoying injuries, but the issue is much deeper than that.
Posts like this age like a kebab left behind the back of an old radiator for a month.
Our main issue is ultimately the injuries in defence combined with the retirement of Kompany and our failure to bring in a replacement.
We would without question have more points if we didn’t have injuries we currently have. Laporte isn’t just our best defender, he makes the other defenders play better around him and can also start attacks from the back with his brilliant forward passing.
When you look at our defeats to Norwich and Wolves and the goals conceded, it’s hard to believe we’d have lost those games if Laporte was playing.
It’s also probably worth pointing out that Bluemoon posts and threads from December 2018 are absolutely full of posts like yours. Doubting and questioning the team and manager the moment things don’t look all rosey after a dip in form. We ended up winning the domestic treble which no team had ever done before and finished with the 2nd highest top flight points total in history.
Performance wise to win back to back titles competing against one of the other best English club sides ever (along side us as I’m sure you’ll agree) is incredibly tough to do from a mentality perspective. Going up against one of the best English sides ever to win 3 in a row is about as tough as it gets.
Liverpool’s record is also as good as it gets at this stage of a season and to be this many points behind that kind of run with the injuries we’ve had and the bit of luck they’ve had isn’t really as bad as you make it sound.
We might not win the league but I reckon if we don’t that we’ll absolutely smash it next season while Liverpool are living out an after Lord Mayors show season and we’ll probably do it with another incredible points total. At the same time of course Liverpool fans on RAWK will be questioning Klopp with some even hinting he should be replaced. It’s just the way football fans are.
