Liverpool thread 2019/20

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Surely if he claimed that Liverpool was the best team in the world, your fans would be up in arms? The general concensus among rational Liverpool fans (as opposed to the rabid minority) is that City is still the better squad/team, even if it is only by a fraction, so I feel that no matter what he said, a large portion of your fanbase would criticise him regardless.

The whole blowing 7 point lead has always seemed ridiculous when you look at the actual number of points dropped over the number of games remaining. If it's Liverpool that bottled it, wouldn't that diminish the lustre of the city performance and run of victories to get the 2nd highest points total in history, implying that that the only reason you won the title was that Liverpool failed?

And since this comment thread started regarding Klopp winning FIFA manager of the year, as a reds fan I think that Peps achievements shaded it, but that the award is biased towards the winners of the champions league.

Your football team "bottled" it at Klanfield when you where hanging on for a draw (Carragher even stated this) and should have lost had Mahrez not tried to hit the moon with his penalty , and your total change of tactics when you lost at the Etihad in the return was similar to a team of surrender monkeys , pure cowardice. If a football club wants to take the title from their opponents then they should show the "Bottle" and beat them , we did it to Chelsea the season before and beat them home and away comfortably
Although there is a five point difference the title is in our hands , because i fully expect us to take six points in the two league meetings between the clubs this season, because your manager and team have an inferiority complex, Pep's got your number. Your fans have been dining out on a champs league quarter final victory for a couple of years now , where an attack on our players before the 1st leg and several dubious refereeing decisions where the only reason you progressed to the final. Since that fluke result Pep has got the measure of Klopp and his one dimensional tactics.

a 10 point gap for City heading into a tricky festive away game on the back of 2 defeats should be brought into consideration, and referred to when praising City on their enormity of their comeback.

Liverpool lost a 7 point lead for sure.

Oh, I'm in no way diminishing City's performance. In fact quite the opposite - it's because of City's superlative performance after that point and for the rest of the season that I wouldn't say Liverpool bottled it. Lost a 7 point lead? Of course, no denying that, I just disagree with the bottling description that's all.

Not sure using the term bottle is appropriate where dipperpool are concerned, just saying

OK, but leaving aside the description of bottled it, that 10 point lead included a game in hand for City - ignoring that is more than a little disingenuous. If we led you by 15 points but you had 5 games in hand and won them all, would that still be bottling it? (an extreme example but I hope you get my point)

Evening.. just to point out, we had no games in hand when 7 points behind. so it's not the same as winning 5 games in hand is it? You did what you did to our team coach.. bottled it!..

To all those (few) Liverpool fans who have slated May City and their owners let’s look at your owners, The Fenway Group. According to them Liverpool no longer have fans, they have customers, as stated on their website just after they took over the club.

They also referred to Liverpool as a “Storied Franchise”, like Disney. So who's the Mickey Mouse Club now?

So no supporters just customers.
