I think it's disgusting that their excuse for losing is the death of a player. However, players do spend a lot time together during the season. They're also pretty young guys who probably don't have much experience of death amongst their peers. I also think it's pretty typical of that club to use a tragedy as an excuse.

Unless it's a tragedy their fans caused of course.
 
I see the narrative around Jota is gathering pace. Not a single bit of discussion about their current form is without a statement about Jota. I'm pretty sure at least a few pundits and journalists think it's bollocks. There is now a new one (obviously saying this now due to some comments by other fans) that their early season form was also pump but glossed over by late goals and lucky wins.

Absolutely fucking pathetic and I'm not sure any other club would get away with it.

So if they win today, they’re over it?

Guess so. Strange how it was never mentioned when they were winning names early in the season.

I'm sure they were deeply saddened by it but I don't see what his death has got to do with the fact their best players legs are going. I also don't see what it's got to do with the fact their new signings are flops and they probably barely knew the man.

Disgraceful and disrespectful from the media to drag his name into it.

Also not to sound callous but people lose close ones all the time and still get on with their jobs to a good standard.

Awful what happened to him but his death has nothing to do with Liverpool being shite.

Let's be real though, it his name was gonna get dragged into things. If they won the league this season, then they'd benl hyped up as the big brave Liverpool winning it for him and his death being an inspiration. Or If they're shite like now, they're in mourning.

Let him rest in peace.
 
In fairness the red media are driving the case for Jota so well that I have had to go down quite a bit to refresh my memory that Jota was on the list of surplus to requirements in the weeks before his passing.
It's all there saying he was past his best, injury problems taking it's toll, best to cash in etc.
Embarrassing themselves at every opportunity.

Liverpool fans used to explain our success with money. In the summer, they broke the record for most expensive signings twice and now have lost 8 from the last 11 games, the last 3 games by 3 goals. Now they must know, if they are not hopelessly thick, that our success wasn't mostly about money, but about having the right environment and a genius manager.

That said, their problems show how difficult it is to win multiple titles in a row and that some of our fans are too critical of Pep.

Absolutely spot on, and the reason why I get so annoyed with the whingers on the post match after every defeat, draw or even win when it wasn't the walkover it was apparently supposed to be, today v. Leeds being the classic example. But that makes me a happy clapper apparently, (that coming from a compete spoon who said a few weeks ago that we were light years away from Liverpool and it would take us at least a couple of years to catch up) .

It's tough, all teams want to win and nobody wants to be turned over, doesn't matter who you are and the rags are all the proof you need that throwing money at it isn't the answer.

What Liverpool's current meltdown does do is prove how well we did last season under difficult circumstances. We had a similar bad run of something like not winning 8 from 11 (don't think we lost them all though), but we had a severe extensive injury list, not nearly half a billion quid worth of new players on show.

Must admit I'm enjoying their collapse though, they're the gift that keeps on giving at the moment.

Well said.

And at the risk of repeating myself, practically the entire squad was mentally exhausted too. It wasn’t just physical injuries they were suffering from.

Just made a little edit for you
 
So when they started well it wasn’t to do with Jota, but their grief suddenly kicked in a couple of months later when they were losing games? Well thank fuck they beat Villa while grieving otherwise Villa would be playing wolves today for 3 points to go above us

Could not agree more. Was also mentioned on Football Focus yesterday which I don't watch but was on in the background. It's disgusting that this narrative is now being pushed and frankly not many of us are surprised.
 
Oops . I meant this ..here's the two MOtD anchors exploring this ....

Apparently collective grief has left everyone floored . Suggestion from the psychologist is that the season has gone because of it and the Liverpool players should be manning helplines for the traumatized fans.
I'm all for bringing mental health issues out in the open but this is OTT

I genuinely don't give a fuck about them doing it, but it has infested Talkshite and BBC recently.

It's the new bollocks about trying your fucking hardest not to offend people because social media will blow up. Let's face it, anyone who goes against the narrative will have the banhammer coming down on them.

I'm just surprised they haven't sued Lamborghini or banned the colour yellow from the stadium yet.
 
Just watched the 1st half of this game. I can only imagine the vitriol some of the Bluemooners would come out with if we put in a similar performance to this.
Spit has just claimed that this is by far Wirtz best game. Well, it is a very low bar afterall.
He is also still putting Isaks poor form down to a lack of a pre season
