Quote from: NAG1 on April 19, 2024, 11:01:36 AMSay it quietly around the Reds on here, but if Klopp goes this season without winning the title will his tenure be deemed as an underachievement?

After all they have been the best team in the world since he took over  ;)

Granted they ran into a City team in their prime, but one Covid EPL title seems to be underwhelming.

Unpopular opinion I'm guessing.

1 league title
1 champions league
1 super cup
1 club world cup
2 league cups
1 fa cup

That's assuming we don't win the league this year, which admittedly is a big ask.
Compare that to the 9 years previous, or even the 9 years before that. He's done well.
Klopp will always be a legend. He gave us a ridiculous amount of moments that will never be forgotten. It is a shame that he came up against 115 charges FC in his tenure which made winning the league nigh on impossible and who knows, if they do throw the book at city in years to come, what he achieved may be more appreciated.

Quote from: HokeyPokey on April 18, 2024, 11:11:48 PMIt will be interesting to see if Mattie does play at 6. He could add real solidity there potentially if he is back to himself.

Really don't see how Matty starts at 6 unless as a sweeper and someone else picks up the marking job on a Cavan forward
I struggle to see how Matty starts at all to be honest having missed so much of the league

McKiernan has nailed 6 and will surely start there, its a dummy team, expect Aidan Clarke to start corner back

My prediction is Matty doesn't start and comes in off the bench for the second half or last 20mins depending on how its going, deployment also as required, could be middle third could be FF

I wish they would bring in a rule to stop teams announcing dummy teams. Should be a rule to only allow minimum changes. e.g. 2

Or what about just naming them the hour before throw in? Only reason they are done during the week is for the programmes.

A stopped clock is right twice in the day. He also said Liverpool would win the League!

They might yet. I fancy Chelsea to beat City this weekend in the cup and trigger a pep implosion. 2 points behind with 18 to play for. It's still on.

Was told this before yes. People seem happy to pay money for a pizza that they wouldn't pay for say a Chinese or a chippy.

"When his business opened, Mr McLaughlin was charging about £8.50 for a fish supper but with the cost of potatoes and other items doubling, he has had to put up his prices to £14 for the same order.

"There will come a time when I can't continue to keep putting up prices to facilitate rising costs. We are at the ceiling of where people are prepared to pay and what they can afford to pay," he said."

14 quid for a fish supper, scandalous

Should be a treat once in a while anyway. Too many people rely on these a few nights a week.

Quote from: Tony Baloney on April 12, 2024, 09:50:24 PMAny early adopters for Fallout. I've read some big reviews for it. Need to finish Ripley tonight then straight into it.

It was decent, middle of the road.
I'm already losing interest 2 episodes in. It's getting a bit silly.

It's Fallout. It requires a bitof suspension of disbelief on the part of the viewer.
Watched the first one. Decent. Will watch episode 2 tonight maybe

Quote from: mrdeeds on April 14, 2024, 03:58:53 PMIs it not more a case of high energy football, loads of games and injuries catching up on them?

Have they not a full squad to pick from?

No. Thiago and Matip out for season, five or six other players on way back. Did the likes of TAA and Jota look sharp to you after they came on?

Salah looks jaded. Endo has been off it the last few weeks.

Excuse FC

Maybe just reason FC? Why do you think liverpool have looked done for the last few weeks if not fatigue?

Quote from: bennydorano on April 14, 2024, 07:46:17 AMHas there been a bit of a sea change in general opinion? Seems to be a bit of common sense entering the debates - previously dismissed or shut down debates  imo.

Definitely. You can see it in the sporting world with the regulating bodies and that.

Solksjaer 3/10 to become next Ireland manager....

Just a word on the flag ban.

Self entitled champagne socialists who claim to reflect Liverpool supporters have ensured that Klopps European career ends in humiliation.
What a sh1tshow. Hope the 74p saved on a ticket is worth this you absolute tubes.

Quote from: statto on April 09, 2024, 11:23:17 AMAmorim in talks according to talkport to replace Klopp. Not sure how I feel about this, Man United went down the route of getting a manager who has won trophies in one of the lesser leagues and hasn't really worked.  De Zerbe could be another Graham Potter if got a " big job" no real stand out candidate at the moment for me. Would take Ange over De Zerbe given choice.   

Talks about not taking a manager who has won trophies in lesser leagues and then says would take Ange?

Ahhhh but the SPL is as good as the Premier League did you not know that??
Celtic/Rangers would finish top 4 every year sure.
