Liverpool Thread - 2022/23

Playing the victim about a song about them playing the victim, is just so scouse.

Fabinho and TAA could both have had two yellows each yesterday but not mentioned anywhere in the media. Just rodri

Fabinho gets away with it every game he plays in.

He did a few good songs in the 80's though. Wishing Well is decent!

Changed his name to Sananda Francesco Maitreya. Reckoned TTD was dead!!!

Yep, it must be exhausting being a Liverpool fan. Every day having to deal with conspiracies against you, sinister forces at UEFA, the media, the police, the government, dodgy nation states, referees, who all exist to pick on humble little Liverpool, who despite it all miraculously punch above their weight. I’m not surprised so many of them have succumbed to delusion, but it really is time we gave them more respect……

Not to mention filling in benefit claim forms.

Good Morning Norway.

Manchester calling. “ Can we have the score from the public vote? 4-1 :-)”.

Liverpool nul points, back to spit in the studio…

I find it all very embarrassing to be honest.

Why weren't those fuckers in the ground?

I think he was trying to say that "it's never their fault"

Sorry, my fault.

….Not hard is it ;)

For me, anyone that does watch alongs should immediately be shot.

But only after being savagely tortured.

Yesterday Liverpool faced the team most capable of taking them apart and it was no surprise that Liverpool got a football lesson ending in a thrashing. Butit's about time scouse fans binned the ridiculous excuses and faced the facts that since the world cup their team hasn't played anyone particularly good and, though their home form isn't bad, their away form is hopelessly disastrous. It is, in fact, relegation form and we saw why in glorious technicolour yesterday.

We have had the more obvious explanations put forward as excuses recently but yesterday they were all exposed by a great team playing near its best even without Haaland and Foden. In contrast we are told Liverpool need to refresh the midfield! In fact they need a new team. Liverpool always depended largely on their front three, a workaholic midfield and a tight central defence which allowed wing backs to get forward. Very much a counter attacking team. Now they have none of this.

Salah is still a force and got his goal yesterday but was taken off largely because he rarely got into the game otherwise. Jota seems to be struggling to get over his injury and struggles for confidence, Luis has been injured for a long time, Gakpo certainly is no replacement for Mane and if you have to bring Nunez on to shoot straight you really are in trouble. And behind the forwards? Henderson always lacked creativity but now his workrate fades as the game progresses, Fabinho is even late for his fouls now (though they are as regular as ever and begin earlier in the match - he was clearly targeted as a weakness yesterday) and Elliott seems way short of top class. Most observers seem to have woken up to the fact that TAA isn't even a bad full back and he can't play anywhere else, Robertson probably doesn't deserve too much criticism but he ends up miles upfield when attacks break down because VVD is a shadow of what he was and I would have loved to see him trying to deal with Haaland's pace. Actually, he never got to grips with Alvarez! But none of that back four got anywhere near our front three!

Anyway, it was good to see the Liverpool fans get the performance they richly deserve from their team and I hope they enjoy several more this season because they are the most sporting and humorous fans in the world, la.
