ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 2

[dublinbluenose]

If we can get Goodison rocking we could beat them I seriously think if we make a hostile atmosphere the players will get into them, it would be brilliant if taht was the case

Have you watched a match at or been to Goodison in the last 3 years?
although I have concerns over this "we" bit mien frandle

I sort of called that result against West Ham. I have said Alisson looks to be affected by the chaos around him. His save % has gone from the best in the league (by some distance) to quite a modest return. If he can't snap out of his recent form that will have a serious impact on them. He was almost single handedly keeping them top of the league earlier in the season but that has now gone.

I secondly pointed out the front 3 look tired to me. That looks more the case with each game. Again if they can regain their form and full fitness is to be seen, but they look a long way off it to me. It's a sign of fatigue-mis hitting shots and having the game pas you by.

Finally I noted the famous "12th man" is actually a hindrance to them. It sounds like the moaning and infighting is well continuing. All over social media they are at each others throats. By all accounts the away end was a concotion of anger, nerves and terror with people just yelling at one another and upping the collective pressure. They will not enjoy the ride. They are the spoilt kid at Christmas who is far too spoiled to know what they've got to appreciate it. You know the spoilt little brat everyone hates. Think of them. Then multiply it by thousands for the collective mass of kopitedom.
As a small aside, it will mean they gain very little enjoyment from this run in, and if they mess it up it will be a truly transformative experience for them. You'll see some lads genuinely develop mental health issues on the back of this. The sort of process that generally leads people to end up at the far rights doorstep, so Prevent watch out come May time!

More broadly I had always prophesied of the mid season slump. We've had that now. The question will be, is this something deeper than that. To be fair tot hem, in the autumn they didn't allow a slump to snowball into a crisis. The loss against Red Star was not followed by a couple of league losses for example. However they are back at that point again now, where a defeat could really topple them and send them into a spiral. If Bournemouth were to pull off an unlikely win on Saturday I'm not sure they recover. Thats where they are at now, 1 defeat away from implosion.

The likelihood is they will be ok, defeat Bournemouth/Watford and steady the ship. United will be a very tough task though. I am cautious but I will say, a defeat to Bournemouth will be absolute popcorn. If they were to lose to Bournemouth, United could close the gap to 9 points on them. They could get within 6 if they win at OT. If United end up finishing above them this season, it would be a truly hilarious thing.

I remember when they blamed VAR for going out of the FA cup to Weat Brom even though it had actually given them a penalty and ruled out a West Brom goal. Klopp doesn’t let the facts get in the way of firing up the propaganda machine though. He’ll be using it as much as possible now tompressure referees. The mistake of Friend was that he didn’t give Liverpool enough wrong decisions to let them win. Klopp will hang out any referee who doesn’t in the media from now on in. It takes a strong ref to stand up against them.

Klopp is correct. Giving the RS an undeserved goal made WHU try harder and make game of it and score. Thus disadvantaging the RS. WHU were supposed to roll over and gift them the game. Corruption in officialdom is rampant; part of a monstrous scheme designed to deny the Reds their birthright. As any fule no.

I think Spuds coming up on the outside rail is also adding more pressure to the RS machine. Not only have they got City now breathing down their necks but Spuds seem to have appeared from nowhere and aren't far off if they start to slip up.
Its a shame united were so far off when they started on their good run.

I think Spurs have got a decent run in, with the highlight being the last game against us, be ace if we can have another game to throw just to popcorn them going into the summer

oh you sweet summer child

 

[canuckblue]

I'm hopeful rather than expectant. But Liverpool ARE flagging.

Even playing more conservatively early in the season they still look now to be struggling physically. And the number of players going pop with injuries suggests they'll continue to suffer with whatever conditioning regime they have going at that club.

While the linemen definitely aren't.

lol


Very good

Last minute controversial winner, the fume would be something

 

[4737carlin]

This time tomorrow they will longer be top of the league hopfully, I know I'll be sleeping better then I am tonight.

 

[wba83]

The only person I know who isn't a kopite and wants them to win the league is a Geordie. When they beat City the other day he and other kopites were all going on about how Rafael is still a kopite at heart.

Kopites & Geordies have this love in going on about were the same type of people load of Barry White .Me personally there my two worst teams Geordies try to be like ya best mate at Goodson ya ok just wait till you go to there ground 100% turnaround Geordie maggots

So, Standard Chartered Bank has been found guilty of manipulating currencies and fined $40 mill.

Even their sponsor is corrupt and full of BS.

There was a survey link about them from a Uni student a while back. I said I would never use them but not because they sponsor that lot. They are a dodgy company and have been for many years,a bit like the worst bits of Deutsche Bank or Goldman Sachs.

 

[barneygumble]

God Klopp’s one horrible loser isn’t it? I suppose being a bad loser is good, but he’s just too far. The pitch had snow on it, the referee won’t give us pens, blah blah blah.

Doesn’t comment on the 11 offside goals though.

Oh and it’s been a funny couple of weeks. Walked out of Huddersfield last week, and never been more gutted after and Everton win.

Walk out the ground tonight and it’ll be never be so happy to see Everton lose
