Liverpool thread 2020/21

[Mike Cledford]

When Klopp first came to UK there were plenty of newspaper comments of his engaging personality and charisma.
He is many things but l don't think l am being unfair in saying l have seen very lille evidence of either quality.

 

[East Level 2]

He's telling the fans what they want to hear. He's a fully fledged cultist at this point so I wouldn't get too upset with whatever words of wisdom come out of his overfilled gob.

This, this and only this. They want crap excuses with no scrutiny: He provides the excuses and the media don't scrutinise them.

you know when Villa battered them was that due to an injury crisis????

face it the signs where in place before Van Dijk got injured they where conceding for fun so he cannot just blame that for there pathetic collapse

klopp burnt them out playing the same team for 2 seasons without little rotation that is why they are not champions this season ? klopp built a team not for the long term but for the here and now and tomorrow can fuck off. you even seen it after they come back from covid-19 to finish the season they won the league. lucky they had enough points banked but on the come back took some beatings and city dicked them at the etihad

burn out is the worst thing a manager can do to his players. the long term damage is irreversible and cuts players careers short and can be finished by the age of 28/29

Mind you, it's good to know that they don't care about us.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

But that's exactly the sort of short-term profit-driven attitude that these owners have. Of course women's football is loss-making for big clubs right now. But the whole point is that we invest in it now and it will hopefully become a popular sport as it gets better. And if it does, us and Chelsea will be in pole position to take advantage, while the rags and dippers will still be relying on the historical achievements of the men's team to claim prestige. It'll be City players starring in the Champions League, World Cup or Olympics. It'll be City selling more kits to little girls. And if it never becomes that big, well let's be honest, it's all for the price of a squad player in the men's team.

To be fair, I think the rags have recognised this and that's why they seem a bit keener to make a go at it after years of not giving a shit. It still irritates me to hear them referred to as a big team though, as if the women's team has anything to do with the men's team. If anything, it shows a lack of respect for teams that have been successful in women's football for years.

I hate to say it but the WSL needs the likes of United and Liverpool to make it really successful. United have put a little in to start of the project but as we have seen with Liverpool, they haven‘t taken it as seriously as the likes of us, Chelsea and Arsenal which as led to their manager walking, complaining about infrastructure and being an aside to the clubs football business.

He’s right too. Difference is of course, Human Rights Abusers FC can just go out and dropp £100 mill on centre backs after failing to cope with losing 1 as happened last season.

Not to mention that Liverpool where also massively hampered by losing much of their midfield for long stretches. Never mind the disruption of having to use Fab and then Hendo in defence, but losing Thiago for months, then Hendo for the season, Keita again being made of glass, and Fab himself missing time as well.

What Liverpool have done last couple months to drag themselves out of this, is far more impressive than Abu Dhabi buying yet another souless league win.

Still not champions

Oh and come on palace

 

[JULES]

my oh my,...they must love us....

This must be the most repulsive CL final pairing of all time. Two grotesque 'clubs' without any redeeming features whatsoever. Neither deserve to get their grubby paws on this trophy and the trophy doesn't deserve to be tainted by either of them lifting it. A sad state of affairs and living proof that cheats and criminals do tend to prosper.

Of course, I won't be watching, but I do hope that the original English Sportswash vehicle beats the newer one to the tainted trophy. An asteroid hit on both 'clubs' would be preferable but, failing that, Abu Dhabian tears and tantrums would be a most welcome sight.

There are no winners here though. Two grotesque reputation laundering vehicles vying to purchase and taint the game's greatest club trophy. It's a horrible sight for anyone who loves the game and cares about its welfare. An abomination of a final that UEFA must be ashamed of.

Worse than United.

Nothing - not one single thing - is worse than the rags.
