Liverpool thread 2020/21

[LGWIO]

Jeez I don't check for a few hours and the board goes mad. Did think maybe Greggery and Tony should have just got their own thread!

Thanks mate. If you’re the person I think you are, you’re nearly as unpopular as me on here. Aren’t you the lad calling your own fans & this forum out on other teams fora? Give you something, takes balls to do that and then come back. I remember that thread well, there were a few naughty words in that.

I think you might be getting your forums mixed up. I don't remember anything like that.
Even if it did happen, It's most certainly is not the **** that you're talking to.

Not sure if anyone has seen this before just seen it on Facebook. Utter despicable pricks


FSG need to make one of the two decisions now:

1. Spend money like Man City. Match them dollar to dollar. (Impossible)

OR

2. Find a way to stop Man City's financial lawlessness. Demand that FFP rules be made water tight. LFC follows the rules, why should we be afraid of promoting tight and fair rules? Get them banned from UCL. Demand tht UEFA fight cases in court better.

Man City's bench has a better defense than us. Their bench can be a separate Premier League club and win Europa League. They will never have an injury crisis because of their buying power. And every passing season they will only be stronger.

You can win against strong opponents, but you can't keep winning for long against outright cheaters. This is not Klopp's fight, he fought hard last 2 years, this is FSG's responsibility.

.2 they’ve been trying to change and enforce rules for years anyway, them and several other clubs. They are proven cheats at FFP and email hacking, then there’s their sponsors.

FFS City have always suffered with long term first team injuries, we usually buy them injured or take a punt on someone just over a 15 year recurring injury not getting injured again. Our squads rarely resemble the full allocation and guess what, we’ve always got on with it.

The answer will never come, he's already gone past stage 4 and accused me of something done by another

I think the dipper likes you.

By your logic here, every single position on the pitch should be immediately interchangeable for each member of the squad. If you think that footballers can just adapt to new positions with different needs and skill sets just because they’re first teamers, I’d say it might be a little sinking in that’s needed at your side. If football was as fluid and linear as that, everybody could be a manager. But do you even realise the difference between playing centre mid and centre half? They’re the two hardest positions on the pitch to play and whilst they’re often close to each other, their roles are markedly different. To expect seamless transition at this level is madness.
I’d have replied earlier but I’ve been up the wall with work.

We used to think like that before Pep.

Fabian fucking Delph was left back in our centurion season.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

That's not quite true though is it? They have, as I've said previously, been responsible owners financially (even if they're a snide, amoral bunch of cheats). But they've lent the club money to build the new main stand and they're getting interest on the repayments.

I think the scouting reports they stole from us have run out. Minamino was they first clue, but when their centre halves all got injured, they confirmed this.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I'm quaking in my boots here at the thought of Curtis Jones playing forLiverpool

Curtis Jones was their best midfielder against us on Sunday. His withdrawal was a part of their demise.

Wijnaldum was their worst midfielder. He did absolutely nothing.

Tbh thats the concept behind how Pep trains the players. Total football and all that :)

 

[I'm With Stupid]

I’m not so sure that it’s as cut & dried as that, but I take the sentiment of it. The most supported clubs are likely to be near the top of the most hated list purely by association.

It's not just the most supported though, it's the type of people who support them. Man Utd and previously Liverpool are magnets for glory supporters, who are the worst kind of fans. The sort of people who are giving it billy big bollocks when they're winning, but are suddenly nowhere to be found when they're not doing so well. The number of Liverpool fans who have recently reemerged after "not really being into football" for about 10 years was incredible. And because they only started supporting them in the first place because they were the best team, they feel like they've got some sort of divine right to always win things. Most people outside of Manchester grew up knowing one or two City fans, if any. But go to any small town with a shit football team and 90% of the wankers in the town are Man Utd fans if they're my age, and Liverpool fans if they're my dad's age. The type of people who walk into the pub on a Sunday clearly not knowing that their team is playing and then pretend to give a shit when they notice the score shows they're winning.

No doubt it'll change if we keep winning and attract more glory supporters, but most City fans at the moment are still of an age where they can remember being in the third tier not knowing if their club would survive. Nobody who's not currently a kid is supporting City because they are the best team.
