Liverpool Thread - 2021/22

[Gorton_Tubster]

Liverpool could go into the 23/24 season a year from now without Mane, Salah and Firmino. The front 3 which their “greatest team” was built on for so long.

Next season will be their last as an elite challenger unless new and future signings somehow turn out to be as good as that line up was for them. You’d have to say the odds of that happening aren’t in their favour.

Not only that but as the Nunez signing has shown they won’t be able to get the likes of a Salah or Mane for £30m anymore. The value from these types of players, even when purchased from smaller clubs, has shot straight up.

Klopp cracking up 18 months from now.

I find it is more to do with the manager than the personel. Klopp gets great things from whomever he coaches, same as Pep.

Whoever lfc have on their playing staff they will do well because he's a good manager (I hate to say it), the media support them, seemingly so do the refs/pigmol.

Agreed that lfc have to pay more nowadays. Hopefully FSG dont see the potential and rely on Klopp to do it on a
"shoestring".

When we won the league under pellergrini and lost 3-2 at anfield, i had the misfortune of going into a pub in wavertree after going to the game as my dad has scouse pals (i know).
the vermin were particularly chipper as they thought theyd pretty much won the prem that day.
Anyway, got talking to one and he was pointing out photos that were around the bar of european trips theyd all been on. Showed me one, cant remember where, of a stand they were all in. They were stood on seats with someone stood in front of them, so basically doubled up. He told me there was twice as many in the stand as there shouldve been. People jumping turnstyles, passing tickets back through, etc. He was pretty proud.
I smiled , as you do. But all i was thinking was , “do you lot never fuckin learn”.

I remember recently a photo from Paris of three LiVARpool supporters with the caption " just jibbed my dad in."

That's a lie - most of them don't know who their dads are.

Just a reminder….


Liverpool first won the FA Cup 61 and 59 years after City and Everton respectively.
Up until 1973 City and liverpool had the same number of major trophies each, 8. So if City have no history when did liverpools history start?

Was it after investment from Littlewoods? Did we get the same net spend narrative whilst they were able to spend significantly more than other teams as a result of that investment or is that " history " conveniently forgotten?

Never forget the shiny new stand they have was only built because they forced residents out of their OWN houses.
A deliberate policy of buying houses, running them down and making the prices of the rest plummet, so they could buy them, meant they then had the room to expand.

Socialism at it's finest.

The latest sermon from the constantly entertaining Liverpool thought bank is possibly the best one yet

Today, playing for LFC is the ultimate Football challenge for a player.

When you sign for LFC...You are expected to win 4 trophies. You will play so many games that every muscle will be stretched to bits. You are up against the richest team in history who buy 100 million players like Grealish for fun every summer and put them on the bench like a showpiece. All 38 league games are a potential banana peel. You will have to play high octane, entertaining Football and be thrown in the situation of needing pull off late winning goals almost every week. And you won't be paid top dollar in salary like the rich clubs do. You have only 2 things going for you - you get the best coach in the world and Anfield.

This is not for the faint of heart. It's the most fun Football job available by an absolute mile. Imagine. Being. Us.

"Expected to win 4 trophies" first time in klopps reign they won 2, they are usually out of the cups before Feb. City meanwhile regularly win multiple cups and we're the first to do the domestic quad.

We "buy £100 million players for fun" after Grealish, our next highest spend is 60 on dias. Liverpool have 4 players who cost more than that...

"Won't be paid top dollar" I keep forgetting everybody plays for free for a club who have one of the top 5 highest wage bills in the world.

I can't get enough of the delusion.

The best bit is about needing to score late winning goals !!!!
Aided and abetted by Pigmol of course .

If we sold a player of his calibre for such a sum, the kick off on here would be almighty!

They’re having to take long term punts on youngsters like Elliot Carvalho & Ramsay in the hope they pay off to balance the big signings, which is a big shift from signing players just under the radar, they are operating at both ends of the scale as opposed to the middle ground where the likes of Spurs & Arsenal do their bidding. To compete with us in the next five years they’re going to have to go big & hope most come off just to hang on to our coat tails
