Liverpool thread 2019/20

[Jimbo Jones]

4 league titles, 4 league cups, 2 fa cups, a fan base that doesn’t threaten players’ lives if they make a mistake, a solid unit, managers who don’t play for the cameras.

consistency then?

 

[Cellarite]

consistency then?

No, the consistency came from the rest. Agüero didn’t stay after the 1st Premier League because were we’re going to win more.

We can argue silly semantics all day long, I think it’s established and acknowledged here that it was a step up. The point was that we got his best days even though he won more at Chelsea.

Whataboutery. Don't just say 'it's established here', acknowledge it yourself. This is one of the reasons most other supporters detest you and your fans, deflect, deflect, deflect, it's liverpool fans' m.o.

You just can't admit it, can you?

there was no consistency from one season to the next though and perhaps they just fancied that extra few quid a move brings.
how did city manage to keep hold over its stars?

Winning things,the chance to take a club from under performing to something special,we weren't winning anything at the start of the takeover,we were the club that fucked everything up,the chance to make history for a club,not just go there as a glory hunter,at any time the likes of Dave or Sergio could have gone to Spain and earned more,our players have been on heavily performance related contracts,they could get more money elsewhere,also we had the likes of joe,vinny,zabba right from the start of the project,players that stay for 8/9/10 years and give their best years to us is because it is a challenge to move us on as a club,their names will always be remembered for delivering special moments that got us to the top and keep us there

We don't hang them when they fuck up,we are a humble fan base and so are they,they appreciate the way they are treated by the club and us

So there was consistency from city but not from Liverpool.
that was pretty much the point I was making.

I see Klippity has been on Scouse Sports News in Germany this afternoon. Has said nothing will stop them having an open top bus parade for being champions, even if it has to be 10 or 13 games into next season.

All they have to do is have a protest bus parade and they’ll be fine supporters as well.
