Liverpool thread 2020/21

Not good. They seem terribly worried about human rights in the ME, VAR, bent refs etc - well, a lot more worried than they were this time last year. I've already heard a couple of cries for king kenny to come to the rescue before appointing Stevie G in the summer. This pleases me greatly.

Hows Aldridge these days..not seen him on the box recently

To all the Everton fans in here. Enjoy the moment and give it large to all those Livarpool vermin. That's if they manage to show their pathetic little faces. Merseyside is BLUE.

Guardiola really had a point when he publically reprimanded Klopp for looking for excuses.

Funny how the rumours of LiVARpool having all those asthmatics a couple of months ago and being allowed to use inhalers left, right and centre....maybe they've had to put them back in the medical cabinet in case there was an enquiry?

I believe it should have been a red card. It is only a yellow if you believe he was making a geniune attempt to win the ball. In my view, the 2nd trip is nowhere near the ball as it had been parried by the dodgy keeper.

Thought that at the time, the first contact may have been accidental, but then he raised his leg to trip him afterwards in a deliberate act, red all day for me

You've just gone and spoiled my day.

No not at all ! The point I was making was Aguero and Sterling have both been booked when they were taken out by the opposing player. ;)

Aguero at St Mary's a few seasons back. Can't remember if he was booked, but that was farcical. Ditto Bellamy at Bolton (he was sent off, wasn't he?).

It’s funny really, last season I was resigned to the fact that Liverpool would be title challengers for the next few years if not longer.

But hindsight is a wonderful thing, and I now think they’ve truly bottled it.

They threw absolutely everything towards last season’s title and the UCL before that. Purposefully disregarding cups, spending hundreds of millions on players in their prime (despite age and limited resale value), flogging the same XI for two seasons, and completely failing to plan for the future, instead buying players like Origi and Minamino, and keeping an injured Ox on the sidelines.

Add to that: everything their fan base did to edge them over the line (e.g. bus wrecking), the sickening media support, the compulsive diving, the VAR decisions, COVID, hacking, and sheer luck.

And what do you get? In all their short sighted desperation, something that increasingly looks like a one-off PL title. Not the sort of domestic dominance they’d want you to believe.

What excuse did bingo come out with after yesterday's defeat??
