sidcow Posted February 13, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 13, 2021 Their title defence is over. They had a chance to take it forwards but Citeh already look a million miles ahead of them and Yanaated caught them up already. Would be hilarious if they failed to get top 4.

Thats it you think Fergie, José or even Pep be happy with one title. This was definitely a chance to dominate the league for next decade or so. City were in a bit of confusion, Chelsea too. United were all over the place and Spurs and Arsenal were being Spurs and Arsenal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complaining about the equaliser, when under the rules, was clearly onside is rediculous. He doesn't look as well as he used to, looks like the stress as really got to him.

He has done well at Liverpool but this management style has a limited shelf life. Its only so long you can tell 100k a week players to run like maniacs. Tbe Van Dijk injury is just a huge excuse to cover rhe cracks, issues were there before 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post villa4europe Posted February 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2021 The problem with Liverpool fans is they were the ones who were banging the drum about not only winning the title but being the best team to ever do it... So the decline of the team is now exaggerated to meet their exaggeration in the first place They have a lot of injuries, they don't have a great squad and klopp isn't using it, the 2nd best keeper in the world has become a pub player, the best defender in the world is missing, it is what it is, write the season off and move on to next year... But again they can't do that because the exaggeration of their own fans and the spouting that this was the beginning of a dynasty and a 10 year spell of Liverpool domination which means they can't apply pragmatism Instead they're in full blown victim mode, the injuries are a conspiracy, the VAR decisions are a conspiracy, the whole world is against them and klopp is part of that Usually I'd blame the media for building something up and then the glee of knocking it down, but not Liverpool, Liverpool fans built themselves up and now have to suffer with this 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) losing Van Dijk wasn’t as big a deal as it has been made out to be, they let it completely destroy them mentally. Granted he’s an unbelievable centre back but the victim mentality has almost manifested poor performances. probably the same when Alisson was out actually, almost like they were making excuses before games were played.

Their first choice CBs are both out for the season and their third is a sicknote. That's a huge part of the spine of the team that's in disarray. We've seen how much of a difference it's made for us this season now that we have a solid spine. I'm not necessarily defending (pun intended) the Scousers here, but imagine where we would be if we were playing most of our games with a CB pairing of Douglas Luiz & Hause/Engels...

I’m loving it though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted February 14, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 14, 2021 1 minute ago, Demitri_C said: Alot of rumours on social media that klopps resigned Mostly debunked as crap I think. Rumours are that Allison and Robertson had a fight in the dressing room at Leicester after the game (possibly true) and that Klopp did nothing to stop it (why would he, there would have been a dozen staff and twenty other players to do that) then he didn't travel back to Liverpool with the players (who don't all travel together anyway with Covid) and that he then resigned (which seems to have been stitched on for mischief). He's having a hard time of it at the moment, he's not the most likeable, but I think we can give him a pass. Leicesters official site and their "save the tears for another day" tweet was probably ill advised and more than a touch insensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
