Liverpool Thread - 2021/22

[KS55]

According to a Liverpool fan on the BBC, we've made the game of football an ugly place.
Surprised my reply of " Liverpool made it an ugly place in 1985" was allowed

The 12 year olds that moderate the Beeb wouldn't get the reference.

The tv era has completely changed the nature of fandom. Used to be about family, school, location, one bus journey etc. Now it's just who is good on telly.

Maynes coach from Mossley to Maine Road back in the day...

"We're still spending the coutinho and sterling money on signings, we haven't got the funds city have".

Couldn't stop laughing.

Now that one was our fault. We still mock them by saying they are still spending those fees.
I never thought a Dipper would belive it to be true.

cant wait until summer when they have no option but to cash in on Salah...

I am one of those that think that we should table a substantial bid for him - ideally this January - if only for shits and giggles

Can you imagine the fume on RAWK??

Would make great - if disturbing - reading

Any talk about their lack of squad depth in terms of quality? And talk about TAA not being able to defend or the fact ‘the best CB in the world’ is actually not.

Not by a long chalk. He only became good when the scousers expressed an interest.

It is increasingly starting to look like their very, very excellent team 18-20 was one put together to win a title rather than sustain success. They've got an aging squad, no midfield, an inability to manage a squad so players move on rather than stay and fight for a place, and have bought players at their peak or just past it.

They can have their pluckiest smallest biggest club all they want, they're failing to capitalise on winning the lottery in the transfer market and having the quality of manager they have and it isn't simply because we have money and they don't.

African nations cup and Liverpool only have two leagues games hand picked too so it wasn’t against any top 6 team where as of Christmas we get handpicked two away in London and guess what BT bias broadcasting corporation thought hey let’s pick the Arsenal game for 12:30! They try to pick the hardest game they can for us and we still win.

Correct. It's like they realised they had to hit an absolute peak in order to just challenge us, with all their players peaking at the same time. But with that comes a team whose players fade at the same time.

I guess, like so many other businesses, we can’t know the impact the pandemic has had more widely on FSG, and their other investments and interests, although I’m sure it hasn’t impacted on dividends as much as it has on player recruitment.

They need to start rebuilding now or are they accepting being also rans for the final few seasons of Klopp’s reign. He’s had a year longer in the premier league than Pep, during that time Pep has built a 100 points and quadruple winning machine. Then dismantled it and rebuilt again into the side we see today.

I find it weird they are trying to nail Salah down to a new contract when they should be flogging him and rebuilding again. The other side is why would Salah stay there playing for a team that doesn’t want to be ambitious and attempt to dominate the league. They said this would be a red dynasty in 2020, it’s more of a footnote under City being the best team in the country.
