twister Posted 25 June 2020 Share Posted 25 June 2020 watching chelsea tonight they are playing at a miles better level than the lads have shown so far. its night and day. Yet in the two games against chelsea they could of beaten them on both occasions and should have maybe Its about attitude, chelsea were at it completely tonight, rodgers men need to start shaking the lethargy out and start playing, its now or never if top four football is to be attained.

If it wasn't a necessary factor, he would not have spent it. Great coach, but (just like Pep) the loads of dosh was a MASSIVE help! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s hope so - it will seem weird with there being no fans in the stadium to create the atmosphere that this day (may) warrant and needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 26 June 2020 Share Posted 26 June 2020 9 hours ago, The Horse's Mouth said: Hes spent almost 500 million, try 30 if you want to be lauded as some sort of genius Fergie used to spend £30mill on players in the early 00's. (His nearest rival, Wenger, never did). Veron, Ferdinand.... How much would that be now? £60m?/£70m? The last title he won, he spent £20m on Van Persie specifically to win it. He bought Andy Cole off Newcastle, their title rivals goalscorer... So you're discounting his stuff because of that? And what about Pep? Pep spent £60m just on one full back. I don't know why people use money as a disadvantage. Why wouldn't Klopp, or any manager of a big club, spend it? Liverpool sold Coutinho for a stupid amount, Klopp knew he needed a better defence and he bought to get it (aside from Trent and Gomes). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not looking like a Champion's League team and Chelsea and United are. We will get overhauled. The only consolation I can muster is that when it really mattered, with our one and only chance of ultimate glory, we did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Facecloth Posted 26 June 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 26 June 2020 I know its a bit doom and gloom at the minute, but I'm an optimist. We know we have the ability, and from the lowest point, I'd like to think it'll be a kick up the arse. I hope there's been some uncomfortable conversations over the last few days about commitment levels, and they snap out of it. I'd love to win the fa Cup, but this is free hit this weekend. Go out, try your hardest, and express yourself and try and play back into a bit of form. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything is possible, I will be positive if I seen us start the next game with a different mind set and formation. A big part of the problem is we keep trying the same thing again and again, we have been worked out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 26 June 2020 Share Posted 26 June 2020 The scenes outside Anfield were always going to happen, should probably have closed off streets around Anfield but probably difficult given its location. Neutral grounds would have made zero difference. It would be the same whichever won the league. I would describe Liverpool as ruthless, they make football look pretty simple really. Hard work, energy, leadership and obviously a fair bit of quality when it matters. They've created a formula which is pretty difficult to stop. I can't help but be bitter though, the celebrity 'fans', the ex players everywhere, the way the pubs around here are full of them whenever Liverpool play, the sense of entitlement, the office Liverpool fan who never knows who they are playing next and of course the years growing up in Leicester with Liverpool/Man Utd fans all over the place. But yeah, congrats to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had numpties on beaches crowded together, in parks, at protests, illegal raves and block parties. We may as well just let us all back in the stadiums now to be honest the public have given up on lockdown send them back to work. At least they are enjoying themselves and mostly not causing trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a huge bearing on the early results. That Anfield last minute Mane shambles was a disgrace. And the handball against Soyuncu in the other game. Not deliberate at all just like Dunks wasnt deliberate against us the other day. One given one not. We have had a few var decisions go our way as well but the inconsistency has been awful.

We won't be in this rut forever and we won't always come up against teams like Watford and Brighton that are happy to sit back. Before anyone pipes up I know the issues were there before lockdown however I do think in this squad there will be characters speaking up and conversations had to get us to where we need to be i.e. Top 4. An FA Cup progression is a bonus but with how the league is panning out in odd circumstances that's the priority right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have still taken a place/point more from last season as it still would have been some form of progress. While I’d be very disappointed if we didn’t have European football this season, it’s still been pretty good by and large with a record 9-0 win and hopefully Vardy joining the 100 goal club. Not to mention the new training ground and eventually () the King Power stadium expansion! There’s still plenty to play for and we’re still 3rd.
