Liverpool thread 2019/20

That Saudi Arabian team who somehow played in that tournament, must be hard to beat. FFS, were these supposedly the best teams in world football?.

The media trying to portray this world club trophy as a major achievement,ffs it’s like a glamourised pre season friendly tournament only played in December,although I would say the American owner would see this as far more prestigious than the champions league or premier league,as it has the word world champions on it,a bit like the Super Bowl or World Series baseball,although to be fair there was teams in it from more than one country,unlike Super Bowl or baseball ..

It's like the charity shield of confederation cups.

That’s why I’ve still got this burning in my belly for this title. There’s something still in this!

If we get to March within 5 points of them, we’ll win it!

Everyone had given up on the title last season and then 2019 began...
3rd January defeat to City
(7th January defeat to Wolves in the FA Cup)
30th January drew with Leicester
4th February drew with West Ham
(19th February drew with Bayern in the CL)
24th February drew with United
3rd March drew with Everton

They actually started 2019 with 7 non-wins from their first 11 games of the year in all competitions.

I'm not sure I fully share it but I for one certainly appreciate your optimism :-)

Er, I think not you dumb ****, you ain't won a PL title yet ....!

The pub world cup is a poor man's community shield ...

Have they won the Div 2 play-offs?

I think not ;-)

*(I haven't researched that do apologies if incorrect but you get my point)

Just winners of the various continental cup competitions.

The first game in the competition was between a Qatari team, and a team from New Caledonia (I'll let you look it up).

Liverpool have played 2 games in it, and haven't been convincing in either, needing an injury time, and an extra time winner.

Wonder if the 2nd, 3rd and 4th bestest teams in the world managed to win their own national leagues?

 

[Cellarite]

shouldn't the English champions as well as the European champions be playing in the world club championships

No, because then you’d have to have a team from every country in the world.

 

[Barcon]

Does this mean that the starting 11 of liverpool are world class?

We discount the charity shield because it's a 2 team pre-season opener. This aberration of a trophy only has 4 teams in it from the start and the European representative should win it every time.
