Liverpool thread 2019/20

[PsychoKipper]

You’ll be goosed come December.

Maybe we will, maybe we won't, but let's not pretend you're on the opposite end of the luck continuum.

Rawk is not for anyone similar to normal people, let alone being normal.

 

[super_city_si]

One noticeable difference is their inability to keep clean sheets this season. Allison would probably have prevented one of the goals conceded.

 

[citizen_maine]

How did VAR help them today?

Chelsea goal was given offside

 

[jrb]

They win games in the first half with their mad press. Then scrape through the 2nd half burnt out.

Today and at Southampton.

 

[blueinsa]

6 games in....not 6 games left.

One or two injuries away from doing fuck all this side of theirs.

I’m a Red and I wholeheartedly agree with this. In no real world is the majority of members on there representative of our fan base. Pathetic little try hards who are desperate to fit in and belong, most of which have never been to Anfield in their lives.
On the flip side, I know a few old school City fans in real life and none of them are remotely like the seeming majority of this place. Moral of the story is that judging an entire fan base based on one internet forum is usually futile. The thing that surprises me about here is the over the top cartoon hatred for us. We’ve never had a rivalry with you lot and never will. You’re a fucking superb football team, no doubt at all, but don’t understand the bile that comes from here on that. Going to be a hell of a tear up for the league this year though.

The league has always been the biggest/best prize on offer. The CL is the most glamorous.

am with you on that matey the title is the bread and butter of any great team and europe is 2nd to the league title, liverpool and united have to glory up everything they win because of the arm chair fan base who believe everything printed or shown on tv

but after the back to back title and winning 4 trophies in a season champions league is the number one target now for city, we now have to prove we are the best by winning it, even if its glamorous or not we must start to be in the finals season after season because we have done everything possible in the game in england that now its starting to feel 2nd best if we don't win it ?? like it or not the club needs the champions league title to finally become a great club in the media and in the press, and then how can they say otherwise when clearly liverpool and united are judge by it

Well, I guess Rawk fans were not those that attacked our players bus but good Liverpool fans that come to Anfield. That's where the hate comes from. There are other reasons of course, but that was the main point.

Was hopeful that Chelsea might've nicked a point today, and to be fair they probably deserved to after their second half performance. Credit to Liverpool though. They're on an incredible run at the moment, and we can't afford many more slip-ups if we're going to keep pace with them. It's going to be extremely close between us again this season.

 

[LFC-Fans]

Obviously we post on the match thread on a CITY forum,you lot however are posting on a rivals forum during your own games,get a life and watch your team play and comment with your own fans,you lot are fucking weird,rather troll on someone elses forum than watch the game,i trust if you lose a game you will be here in numbers again?

I guess it's different forum etiquette. The general section on a lot of other forums that I use usually consist of fans of different clubs talking amongst themselves in threads relating to their club. Whereas the main forum is primarily for supporters of that particular club. But I generally use lots of different forums because I like hearing other people's view, instead of just Liverpool fans who big us up all the time and think everything is good and dandy.

For instance earlier on in this thread someone said they weren't too worried about us and that we would drop points. That's interesting to me and it's nice to hear another view point other than. "We're gonna win the league". Or hearing other views on Sterling who I admire greatly and get slaughtered by fellow Liverpool fans for saying he could compete with Mane for a spot in our team

Having said that, that doesn't mean that has to be the case for this forum, I've learnt that the hard way on here. I'll try and limit that from now on, I think I post on here less than the other forums I use anyway, although recently I have made more than normal.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

What gives me hope besides the fact that we're back to back champions and there's still 96 points to play for is that they're giving up good chances in every game.

Norwich got behind them several times with ease and Southampton missed some great chances including the sitter Ings missed in the last minute to equalise. The best opportunities from open play today fell to Abraham and Mount which should have both resulted in goals and at least a point for Chelsea.

On the flip side, our game against Tottenham was the most one sided draw I've seen in my life. If that game had ended with a similar scoreline to Watford no one would've complained. I don't think we'll miss that amount of chances again this season.

In reality, they could quite feasibly have a few less points and we should have a couple more. Plenty of twists and turns to come yet.

If we'd won but played like Liverpool did today, I'd be worried. They got into the lead and sat back and soaked up the pressure, whereas we would have got into the lead and them kept the ball off them. In the end, they got lucky. But they also won one of their hardest away games. I hope they eventually get the results their performances merit.

 

[Callum Ramsey]

They've had 1 extraordinary season in the last 30 years where everything that could go for them did. No injuries to key players, out of 2 competitions in january and opposition goalkeepers dropping howlers in stoppage times on more than 1 occasion. Compared to a team that's had 2 such seasons in consecutive years, one of which being without their best player(de bruyne) for a large part of it and arguably most important one(fernandinho)injured for the latter part. Aswel as being involved in 4 competitions for the majority of the business end and still managing to come back from a 7 point deficit to win it.

They overperformed last season if you look at their expected goals in games by about 6 points and will not get close to that number again barring the same type of extraordinary circumstances where they go out of 2 or all other competitions early, rarely lose any key players to injury and get gifted goals in stoppage time. They certainly don't look unbeatable this season as napoli has already shown and a chelsea side with a new manager have looked better than them in both games they played so far and only losing because they lack genuine top class forward players. Of course I would be lying if I said they aren't a good side as they are a clearly very good team with a good defence and an attacking trio amongst the best in europe but in comparison to this city side they are a level below despite last seasons close race which didn't do it justice when you watched both sides and it was clear how better one side were to the other. I have no doubt that will prove to be the case again this season come may.

 

[Start2finish]

What you find is they all pull out of the internationals for the dipper cause

You mean like Kieta? Who was pushed to play for his national team when clearly not fit, only to suffer further injury?

I find it interesting that you think that Liverpool fans on here are trolling, when if you read the posts, rather than simply picking individual words or phrases from a reasoned argument, you might notice that most of us (not all) are actually making reasonable comments.

We're not arguing that Liverpool haven't done anything wrong, and in many cases feel that the punishment was light (eg hacking), but its not the Liverpool fans here who say the league is already won -just Manchester City fans claiming that we say this in order to justify their own irrational hatred.

If you want a forum that only caters for a single viewpoint that fits your way of thinking - that Liverpool and all its fans are scum, thieves, dippers etc, that Klopp is a vile, fake, useless manager, that the only reason Liverpool are doing well is money, bribery, cheating, luck etc, then why not just rename this thread to 'We hate Liverpool', at least then there would be no pretence of being willing to see differing viewpoints.

Just a thought (and no, I am still not Pete Matthews or any other poster)

Without going into all of your points, I am curious about your argument for Klopp wasting a lot of money? I can't think of many failures since he arrived. Karius being an obvious failure of course, and Keita still having much to prove.

I'm not criticising Pep for spending the money, all managers would, but failing to even consider the cost of the city squad as being a factor in your recent success just makes it easier for other fans to dismiss city as an oil club. Whether that is fair or not, simply trying to ignore the financial legup that you possess is the same as reds fans ignoring the financial power Liverpool had back in our golden days

You inserted the oil club reference for no particular reason,the leg up we possess? we are self suffient,no debt and we can only spend as per the rules and our owner being rich doesn't matter as he can't put anymore money in,you also went about net spend,all of you repeat the same things,LFC aside
