Liverpool Thread - 2022/23

[FightLikeAGirl]

Ajax have lost their manager and many of their key player.

At least that gives them an excuse. Still annoying though. I was at a Cave In gig at Club Academy last night and they were showing the football on TV in the union bar and of course they had Steve McManamanamanaman commenting on the Liverpool highlights.

Fully expecting Leeds next, they will be very easy to takeover as they're just like Newcastle. Based in a large city with one team and rabid fans starved of success. Football is a working class sport so it's very easy to sportswash as these idiots will sell themselves out to anyone who will bring them quick success.

Leeds have been ripe for years. Surprised it's not already happened. Stadium looks fairly easy to improve as well. Have a bit of heritage to boot. . . . well, more than Man City did.

More fact free rubbish from Squawk...

a club formed over 20 years after City (from a club formed a decade after City) that have an all time average attendance nearly 5,000 lower than City's, who surpassed City's 2 league titles in the last year before the PL started and who've one FA Cup and one League Cup, with no European trophies of any significance have "more heritage" than City...

Whatever metric you use as a guide for "heritage" this bin dipping rat eater is clearly a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

25,000 less and i think Liverpool's highest attendance is 22,000 less than ours and unsuprisingly considerably less than Everton's highest attendance.

Liverpool’s highest attendance would not be in City’s top 20. We’ve had bigger average attendances than them lot when we had the likes of Pearce and Keegan in charge. We have never had attendances as low as they have achieved for a European cup tie.

They are fair weather supporters, Klopp has put together a very good side so they turn up. When the likes of Hodgson was at the helm and they were doing crap they weren’t that bothered about going. Will be interesting to see how full their expanded stadium will be if Klopp gets off in 2026 and they appoint another Hodgson or Rodgers.

All these fans from other clubs who give vile chants while Lfc fans always respect

Henderson at least knows what was actually said though.

I think it's rather telling that in the two liverpool matches I have watched since the "racism" incident, Henderson has, on numerous occasions, covered his mouth with his hand when he speaks angrily to the ref so that no cameras can lipread his words.

I know players do this quite a lot after the match when chatting and they notice a camera on them; not seen it done quite so much during a game. Like I said, rather telling IMO.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Don't forget, a referee must send a player off for "using offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or action(s)". The referee cannot have heard anything untoward, or he would have sent Henderson from the field. The allegation must have come from the Arsenal player to the referee, and the referee then reported what had been said to him to both managers.

Any player hearing the allegation made by the Arsenal player to the referee then relays the allegation to his teammates, and hence the reactions from Firminho, Allison etc.

Whether anyone else heard Henderson use racist or abusive language towards another player is unknown. However, it appears that nobody testified to this, and nothing was picked up by TV cameras.

On this basis, the FA really has no option other than to drop the charges against Henderson, because it is one person's word against another's. This isn't really a case of the FA succumbing to LFC pressure. Henderson at least knows what was actually said though.

If Gabriel was adamant that he’s been called something racist, I would have expected Arsenal to come out and defend him robustly. Arteta isn’t shy in having digs at others.

Klopp fined £30,000 after being sent off in our game. It doesn't say anything about a touchline ban. Slap on the wrist for the wanker.

It probably won't even come out of his own pocket.

It's not unknown, the FA statement says that 6 players in the vicinity didn't hear anything, the referee didn't hear anything.

This entire thing is Gabriel thinking Henderson said something in a language Henderson doesn't even speak.
