Liverpool Thread - 2021/22

[WNRH]

My mum , who has absolute no interest in football, summed it up for me. They have nothing else but their football club, they are a small city, no way near the size or importance of Manchester.

But the Beatles?

Just did a squad comparison...

Liverpool

Goalkeepers - Alisson, Adrian, Kelleher (3)
Fullbacks - Alexander-Arnold, Robertson, Tsimikas (3)
Central Defenders - Van Dijk, Matip, Konate, Gomez (4)
Midfielders - Fabinho, Thiago, Keita, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Milner, Jones (7)
Forwards - Salah, Mane, Jota, Firmino, Minamino, Origi (6)

City

Goalkeepers - Ederson, Steffen, Carson (3)
Fullbacks - Cancelo, Walker, Zinchenko (3)
Central Defenders - Dias, Laporte, Stones, Aké (4)
Midfielders - Rodri, Fernandinho, Bernardo, De Bruyne, Gundogan (5)
Forwards - Mahrez, Jesus, Sterling, Foden, Grealish, Palmer (6)

They actually have a slightly bigger squad than us.

It's not just a question of numbers but of quality. Take Van Dijk out of their central defence and you can see why they concede goals.

But the Beatles?

They left the dump as fast as they could, went to Germany to practice their trade and never went back to live in dipperland again.

I don't know Liverpool, but I travel a lot between Leeds and Manchester and it has struck me how much more vibrant Manchester is compared to Leeds. Leeds has a wonderful historic City centre but it is a ghost town. I bet its the same with other Northern cities.

That's their fault.

Disagree. Leeds is busy and a nice size. Manchester is like Gotham these days with all Worsley's skyscrapers. It's narrower, darker, dirtier with more homeless on the streets.

Ok, nothing else for the past 50 years!

Who were that Scouse they fucked the place off as soon as someone bought one of their singles from Woolworths.

So true, this is the best post you’ve done in a while.

I am not slagging off Leeds, my focus is little Liverpool, but that sounds like an opinion you are expressing based on aesthetics, which is fair enough. If you base it on economy, population, income per population, investment, expenditure etc than Manchester (with its two big clubs, ok one is in Stretford) is the powerhouse of the north with Leeds a worthy second. Liverpool on the other hand is small and insignificant in comparison with an inferior complex that manifests itself in that red football club.

Cunts.

Ken Dodd? Might not have been him, but I know his dog died.

Apart from Newcastle which is a fantastic City, much smaller than Manchester but a cracking City nonetheless.

Well thought out comment, double like.

Liverpool - **** (1)

His dad’s did too.

Let's hope we ruin Boxing Day in Norway, Scandinavia, Ireland, Wales, London, the Home Counties, the Far East, etc, and amongst the '6000' LFC season ticket holders who come from Liverpool.

I would've rounded down, 5000

"Bought" not in Liverpool then!

Leeds is a nicer place to live. Yes Manchester has more investment and a larger population but like I say, it's being wasted on making it Gotham than doing something productive like making Piccadilly beautiful again.

Liverpool's a shit hole.

As good as Klopp can be, they'll struggle if they don't get this situation sorted. Jota is part-way to solving it but they won't keep getting transfer hits with their strategy.
