Liverpool (N) | Community Shield | Post-Match

So there we have it, after one final warm up game, Nunes is better than Haaland, Cancelo is dreadful, we shouldn't have sold Sterling or Jesus and Klopp is better than Pep.
What a dreadful season we are in for...again

am i overthinking this or does pep genuinely have a mental block when it comes to facing flopp?

Don’t think it’s a mental block but as they say in boxing styles make fights.

Liverpools strengths perfectly exploit our weaknesses, now with Thiago they are able to play through our press better and more efficiently and with salah and Diaz out wide they can counter extremely well. Klopps style of football is basically kryptonite to peps possession based game

Mental block. It's the other way around, Liverpool keep losing the title too us, they celebrated that win yesterday as if the had won the world Cup.

Credit where credit is due. Thiago was fantastic yesterday

Let’s be honest, on a one to one basis the scousers will beat us 9 times out of 10. They have more belief and more desire. Man for man our team is better but I can’t ever see us getting any better against them. We’re clearly scared and in awe of them. They run us ragged. And anyone who doesn’t see that is deluded. Ignore all this pre season bullshit excuses, as a team their spirit is far better than ours.

Fucking moron.

Between mins 25-80 I thought we were the better team despite clearly being rusty.

But seriously how fucking small time are the dippers?

- Booing the national anthem
- Throwing multiple flares on the pitch
- Fans getting on the pitch for Nunez goal
- Nunez and team celebrating as if they'd won the CL final rather than a glorified pre season friendly.

Credit must go to Klopp. NO I don't like him, im not a closet ''micky'' but he knows how to exploit us...no CDM for us today..he made his team exploit that..fair play. But he does always find a way tbf

He sure does...I mean look how many Premier League titles he's won ..it's a massive 1 compared to Peps paltry 4 ...

Their H2H record in the PL is in Pep's favour. When was Liverpool's last win in the league? Nearly 3 years ago. And it came after scandalous officiating (that 3:1 game at Anfield).

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

4 titles out of 5 too isn't too shabby.

Given the way we won the league in 2019 and 2022, anyone questioning the mental fortitude or desire to win of this group of players is an idiot.

We just need to adjust to Haaland and Alvarez in our team now . Couple of times Kdb pulled the ball behind Haaland instead of where Erling wanted it in front of him . It's just a recalibration of where we put the final ball . We don't need Erling doing fancy step overs etc, we have players that can do that in their sleep, but what we need is those players delivering the type of final ball that a born striker wants and needs . Erling said it to Jack last week in the tunnel ! He wants those balls going across the box at pace or delivered in front of him . We will be fine we just have to adapt to a goalscorer that's not what we are used to.
