ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

Huge test for Klopp. Does he try and evolve tactically? If not they need huge investment in players. How could missing out on top 4 effect this.

It's moments like this that the Kopites feared last season. They were desperate to see Everton go down. They'd have taken that over success in ALL of the competitions they were involved in.

Because here we are 6 months later and we're goal difference away from leapfrogging them in the table. We're still here and beginning to thrive again, and they know that as long as we're around and buoyant they'll always be the inauthentic face of Merseyside football. We're the originals and historically the premier club in the city.

They cant bear that.

Ok let’s calm it down a bit

I reckon Klopp has messed the cycles up a bit by starting it again during the lockdown season when they were losing 6 in a row at home and were miles off the top 4. Everything was going to fall apart then but they won a ridiculous amount in a row at the end of the season to get into the top 4 and then last season it was all guns blazing again. Maybe he’s thought with the World Cup coming up it was worth cycling off for a bit.

I’ve always maintained that some of these players are complete dross and have had careers gifted to them by this doping fraud. Milner was finished as a top player when he left City, was awful under Rodgers, and then has been given an unbelievable swan song. Same with Henderson. I’m not sure Gomez or TAA would even be internationals without it. Salah would be a hit and Miss tricky wide forward (like he was pre Liverpool), Wijnaldum would never have gone to PSG, same with Coutinho.

I'm fairly sure it's been said that the split between Buvac and Klopp, and the latter bringing back Lijnders, was down to Buvac's objections to Klopp wanting to 'go nuclear' in a season that Buvac wanted to cycle down.

Buvac probably was the cautious one who held Klopp back from pushing the envelope too many times with the PEDs.

Done, however it's the top 4 race now, I want them out the CL, hopefully Arsenal Chelsea and Spurs keep winning.

It’s not over yet, Dave. They have Nunez remember.

Can tell they're not doing so well. Civil war breaks out between the locals and tourists. Great reading.

I hope it's somebody else for a change. City's fast becoming the English Bayern Munich

Eh?

Far too positive Dave my friend. Doesn't suit some posters on this site - however, the vast majority, thankfully, are enjoyable and engage in good-humoured banter.

One disputed title in 33 years....



33 YEARS.


Imagine Juventus, Inter, AC Milan, Barcelona, Bayern Munich or Madrid hadn't won more than an asterisk title for 33 years. They'd be the laughing stock of Italy/Spain/Germany.

Massive club Liverpool though. Sell loads of shirts in Malaysia and that.
