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

Yeah well there you might be right, and I appreciate your response.

However what you are saying now is quite a bit different from what you were saying before - that back in 2014 there were more people wanting them to win it than not; which would be a very bizarre metric to try and gauge would it not?
I wasn't being so specific, which is why I started with "perhaps". By not using absolute terms, it leaves "perhaps not" open. The truth is, it's difficult to know, but as a City fan, I know we're loathed around the country and by large sections of the print media. The same was true in 2014. There was a BBC poll at the time that claimed it was 80-20 in Liverpool's favour but I was never having that. Oddly enough, our backing came from 90% of United fans, virtually all Chelsea fans and virtually all Everton fans. It just felt like a fairly even split before, whereas now it feels like Liverpool have lost lots of good will. The likeability factor around Klopp has definitely diminished in the past 12 months or so.

I will be honest, I am a language nerd; not a grammar nazi.
But I honestly cannot find where you started with "perhaps".
 

Underdogs, apparently.

Trying to link arms with Chelsea is unreal.

These people need help

Liverpool aren’t boldly talking on City single handedly, they’re not even there major rivals.

Leave that to Chelsea who’ve won 5 major trophies to Klopp’s 2 since he’s been here, including beating City in 2 major finals last season and that’s during what’s been a difficult time for Chelsea.

Klopp needs a trophy this year. After all the money he’s spent, only 2 trophies to show for a 7 year stint is very poor. Scraping into the top 4 on the final day s they did last year bring the highlight of the season is where they are now and again they’re in the battle got 4th. He needs a trophy badly.

He’d be sacked for underachieving at any other club who’ve got the spending power they have.

"Klopp needs a trophy this year. After all the money he’s spent"
But he hasn't spent any moneee lar.. net spend an all dat.
 

Should be made to play an academy team like Villa were. No one cares when it’s Villa though as they all just wanted Mane and Salah to bag loads against them.

Just seems very coincidental that Liverpool’s uncontrollable covid outbreak has happened at precisely the same moment they’re without Mane and Salah.
