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

Liverpool and the south end. Listen to any football phone in on Radio Merseyside and as soon as they say 'Barry from Hunts Cross is on the line' or 'John from Garston' or 'Bill from Dingle' or whatever, I know they'll be reds.

Everton are a north end club, and places in the suburbs where people from the north end were re-housed as part of the post war so-called slum clearance orders have a lot of Everton support in them.

Is this really the case? That Everton have a stronghold in the northern part of the city?

Spot on that.

And, yeah, Klopp cant play any other way than 'Heavy Metal football' - AKA kick and rush when other teams adopt it.

Guardiola will end up with 3 of the last 4 PL titles come end of May. That's because he can create a dynasty; he doesn't shatter his players with a couple of eyeballs out effort seasons and then sit in a corner rocking himself and sucking his thumb for comfort trying to understand why that approach wont work for more for than a short while.

As the old saying goes: in the end 'brains will always baffle BS'

Not only that, but when you look at the age profile of a lot of the key players, you can see another dynasty being built, players like Foden, Diaz, Stones, Ederson, Rodri, Sterling, Jesus, Silva, Torres, Zinchenko, Mendy, Ake etc. They are all 26 and under. Who have Liverpool got in that bracket? Arnold who's forgotten how to play football, Gomes who is injury prone and probably finished from his latest injury, Jota coming off the back of a major injury. Thats it. Maybe Jones will make the step up.

City will go heavy in the summer transfer wise too. Expect 4 or 5 to be added to that list.

Klopp has been out thought. I heard one Kopite earlier going on about how surprised they were Pep has managed this. You just think I din't know why, he is a manager who has managed in multiple countries and been successful. It brings a rounded perspective, one you can see Klopp just doesn't have.

I'll give you another old statement. See the definition of insanity. Thats where Klopp is at trying to get "heavy metal football" or whatever weird christian rock the god squader is up to next with a bunch of players who are past it.

There was a stat about Liverpool not winning games he played, maybe the home games, he is a shocking signing, slows the game down too much and gives away loads of free kicks

He hasn’t done a single pass worthy of anything James does multiple times in a match. The regular James cross field switch to Digne that he pulls off multiple times in a game is better than any pass I’ve seen Thiago play in a Liverpool shirt yet.

Professional athletes won't be using their hamstring to replace their acl...thsts what i had done. You lose half of your potential muscle that way. They get a cadaver graft. They can also get it from the patellar tendon...i don't know if there is a downside to that...it is a newer procedure than the hamstring one.

whilst the patella graft location is sore when it gets a knock or kneeling on a hard surface, it is dynamically strong and was my preferred choice x2

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.

yes he did, naughty naughty Pickford
