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


I see they’ve managed to predict our impending doom based on the AGM. So desperate to not face the facts that Everton are being bankrolled by Russia’s richest man.

Not really it's really quite sensible really, VVD handled the ball in the build up to their goal against Wolves, it stood, West Ham do the same yet their goal get's disallowed. City get a goal written off for an handball against Spurs, Deli Ali does the same thing at the opposite end, yet it's given a penalty. Then you have the infamous Clattenburg game, where Hibbert was going to get a yellow, yet was given a red after Gerrard mouthed something to him. Kuyt karate kicks Phil Neville, doesn't get sent off, and Carragher commits a foul on Lescott which would be considered assault on the street. I'd be here all day labeling all the dodgy decisions given to them over the years. But with regards to other things it's perfectly obvious that there would be an incentive to ensure the bigger teams do well. They have the biggest TV audiences and the money from TV far exceeds money from the gate. It was found out that United received something like a minute or more injury time when they were losing than when they were winning when playing at Old Trafford. With all the money in football I don't know why people find it so hard to believe there might be corruption.

Italian fans were labelled crazy and deluded for years until the biggest scandal was proven to be true.

The Liverpool midfield's so admirable that Van Dijk's always hoofing balls directly to the forwards so as not to disturb them.

Probably klopps biggest achievement is finding a way to win with a very average midfield, someone will figure it out at some point but i have to be honest and admit i didn't think a team could dominate at the top with such a poor midfield. That being said i think this era is of a low standard in general

Red Sox caught up in Baseball cheating scandal. Let’s hope there’s no whistles to blow anywhere in Anfield.

Not at all. Guessing you don't know baseball? They've actually gone above and beyond by sacking someone who had nothing to do with them at the time. Would be the equivalent of Dortmund being punished for something and Liverpool sacking Klopp for his prior involvement in it.

Thing is, Cora was the bench coach with the Astros, who won the World Series in 2017, and was one of the guys behind the cheating. He became manager of the Red Sox the next year and won the WS again. Pretty strong coincidence, if you ask me. The Red Sox got rid of him as a preventive measure, hoping MLB will not investigate further.

From what I've seen their midfield does little else but retrieve the ball (admittedly effectively) and knock it off to the defenders who do all the attacking.
