Liverpool Thread - 2021/22

Who is it they've signed again?

Name isn't familiar.

I believe he is the guy who was going to go to Newcastle in January for £30m but changed his mind at the last moment

So Nunez joins and he's on £140k a week. For someone who is on a par, by scouse pundits, with Haaland thats a low wage. It about the same as a mid table average striker. No wonder Mane £100k a week, Salah £180k a week want to leave. All players wages at livarpool do not reflect that they play for the bestest club in the world, are the bestest team in the world are the bestest in the world in their posistions and have the bestest manager. Methinks players at liverpool are getting their pants pulled down by the owners. Or alternatively they are not the bestest at everything. Pull your pants up Nunez because like Salah and Mane soon you will realise, that if you are good, you have been taken in by the bulls××t.

Mane's on 200K and Salah's on 225K, they're paying their new wonderboy roughly the same as they pay Matip/Milner/Kieta; which is low considering he's the bestest in the world ever,

Had a discussion with the 9 scousers I play footy with.

“Us two have dominated the prem for the last 5 years” they reckon.

“No lads, City have. What you’ve dominated at is being the second best team. You’re the best at being second best”.

The wheels turn in their heads…. And out comes the classic scouse comeback

“Yeah but only cos you’ve got more money than us”.

Headcases.

Are they proper scousers or armchair dwellers?

I watched the 2018/19 season review on Sky. The Kompany goal does run the Sergio moment close for emotion. You can add Gundo’s goals against Villa to the list.

Anyway, it just struck me how much the club has won and the character on show is phenomenal. Pep and the players are so resilient to the onslaught from a genuinely fierce opponent in Liverpool.

Bit off topic but I firmly believe as the years go on the Pep era will be looked back on with a huge sigh followed by I can’t believe the players & the boss collectively continued to reach new untold heights. Coming up against a formidable foe and still keeping our noses in-front.

The rebirth of a great footballing institution.

Now Haaland is onboard and the story will continue…

I always try and find some positive in any bad situation...the bad situation being that we are starting to have this habit of finishing 2nd to you lot.
The positive being that City are a truly great team and so to get so close and to (in my view and taking the sort of spin that the Echo usually puts on things) push City to being even better...has to have some positives to it.
Yes it is galling to lose by a point again, but then, really is there any shame in coming 2nd to this City side by a point twice?
Just try harder!
I'm not sure that Haaland is a game changer, in the sense that you are already at the peak, but that he will make it evemn harder to keep up with you. I see Nunez as an attempt to try and keep up...the old line of going backwards if you dont strengthen. Whereas, with Mane going and possibly Salah, they have to do something.
Certainly going to be interesting, especially when you lob in a mid season WC.

Isn't it funny how Liverpool are in the top 5 highest wage bills in the world yet according to them and their cult PR machine, everybody is playing for free or peanuts. Unless they're paying their academy players a similar wage to their first team players, something doesn't quite add up.

 

[Nellies left peg]

They will pay the add on cash if Nunez gets up before 10 in any 7 days on the trot.

The add on is another 25 million if he tests positive for asthma

Milner knew what he was doing going there. Bet he feels like he won the lottery

You didn’t lose the league by a point though did you?
