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

[Voodoo Billy]

Offer to play them twice at Anfield.

Wreck their heads that.

Difficult place to win as they're proving in 2021.

The RS have been told they can't travel to Germany for their first leg game against Leipzig on the 16th Feb. A German interior ministry statement said Leipzig have been told that the fixture "does not meet the requirements for an exception."

UEFA said it was "In touch with both clubs" about the tie.

What's the solution then? play both legs at Anfield??

Can you or any other Irish Blues explain this, because I've never really understood Liverpool's appeal in Ireland, other than proximity and ease to get to Liverpool. But as you say the Irish fans are even worse than the Scousers. For obvious reasons I can understand why there are so many Celtic fans, I can understand why there are so many United supporters in Ireland they've had so many great Irish players. We've had players like Sheedy, Kilbane, Coleman, McCarthy, McGeady, they are just the ones I can think off the top of my head, I'm probably missing a few obvious ones. I can understand why Arsenal would appeal to Irish fans as well. I don't know whether it's just glory hunting or what.

But then, although it's not relevant now so much, Liverpool had strong connections to the Orange Order and Rangers fans certainly view us as being a Catholic club. Some fans on here, I can't comment I wasn't born that Liverpool fans were sectarian up until the 1980s. Also I'm probably overthinking here, but we tend to have more supporters in the North End where people were moved from Scotty Road an Irish enclave , places like Crocky, Noggsy, Dovecot, Canny Farm, Fazakerley, Kirkby, Netherton all have more Blues than in the South End.

All down to glory hunting, you could watch games live on Saturday afternoon in Ireland and Scandanavia, they were winning most of the trophies in the 70's so people became "fans".
It's much the same today, there are loads of Chelsea and City fans all of a sudden in far flung corners of the world, purely down to the local version of MOTD

Probably the FA will make us play them instead - on the Friday night between the rescheduled City game and the Derby.

The reason for Liverpool's problems? It's staring in you in the face

Claims of deeper issues are wide of the mark.

Hilarious.

Not the manager or players fault, it's the injuries...of course. One of the cult's hacks reassuring them that the jig isn't up for Klopp.

A 2,000 word article could have been avoided with a photo of Pickford instead.

A 2,000 word article could have been avoided with a photo of Pickford instead.

Did Pickford play Jota in a meaningless CL dead rubber? Did Pickford rush Matip back to fitness and flog him two games in a week just to get the ego boost of maybe beating United in the cup and Spurs in the league? Has Pickford burned out their front three because he wouldn’t even rest them against Villa’s under 12s?

Although the first rule of any cult is you can’t question the cult leader so they probably do blame Pickford for all of that.

With Chelsea back to some winning ways, Liverpool will start to feel the pressure for top 4 if City beat them at the weekend. I can’t see half those players sticking around for a season without CL, the egos of Mane Salah Robertson have become enormous.
