Liverpool thread 2017/18

[Chris in London]

If we win the league again next season, and throw in another trophy like this season, i couldn't give a toss if the dippers do the double over us. At the end of seadon we'll have real trophies and they can have their "we beat city twice" cup.

This.

I was gutted on the day that we lost to the rags. Whilst it would have been to secure the league by beating them, what matters is that we won the league. As with the dippers, I’d take losing at home to the rags all day long if it meant another double.

There was a time when avoiding relegation and beating the rags counted as a successful season, those days are over.

So Mane's sending off is relevant but the decisions Liverpool got in their favour in both CL games and the league game at Anfield aren't?

But in other games we have had bad refereeing decisions but still found a way to win.so are Liverpool almost ou4 equal and we need the rub of the green to go our way( that’s not true comparing th3 teams on paper, it must be their pattern of play worries us, so what do we do to change things next season

Don’t get me wrong, I couldn’t believe the way w3 stood up after that run of bad results and beat spurs.then finished the run in in style. Proud as , and two trophies I know it’s being greedy but I would have loved to have won the league against the rags( becaus3 we smashed them but had a horrendous 15 mins.) but it wasn’t a one off against Liverpool so I want to know why their style suits our game enough to make it difficult for us three times.

At the top of their game they are almost our equal. Their problem is they can't maintain that form consistently because it is so intense, they can't even maintain it within 90 minutes sometimes.

What do we do? Match their intensity in them games and our quality will come to the fore ( providing we don't get multiple dodgy decisions against us)

Not sure where this animosity is coming from honesty.

Probably you hate Liverpool - for reasons, as a person born and living in the states - I won't ever appreciate.

That aside - Klopp is a wonderful manager.

Liverpool's current owners won't spend anything like we will - they have a limited budget. The team Klopp took over was a mess.

Has he won the PL title in his tenure? Nope.

Will he before he leaves - probably not.

That said, he's a very solid manager, has improved his side tremendously, and honestly, given his budget, is doing far better than some run-of-the-mill manager (Rodgers, Dalgleish, etc.).

Christ. You Yanks eh.

FWIW, Rogers did better and spent less in the league.

An appropriate punishment would be too make them play in the qualifying rounds (instead of Spurs) and, if they qualify, play their first home group game behind closed doors.

Will never happen though. I would be surprised if they get anything more than a fine. Would even be happy with a suspended threat of closed doors games.

Nobody is playing in the qualifying rounds though, not even Spurs!
If they have to play behind closed doors it should be their first and second home games when they next reach the knockout stages.

Ban their 'welcomes', simple.

On a side note, when are bbc sports going to stop having the tossed salad injury as there top story ? It's getting fucking tiresome.

Could the attack on our team's bus be interpreted as an act of terrorism?

That might be a stretch too far now.
