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

[maccavennie]

Thiago is going to be their new Joe Allen.

Very much so. I just dont see what others say he brings. A simple tidy passer of the ball for sure but I haven't seen one moment where I've thought "wow, he's got that special something"

His body will break down before he strings a good run together anyway imo

What was it, the Welsh Pirlo? They don't half go overboard

Joe Allan was a perfectly adequate footballer. As is Tierrrgo La. It's the equivlent of us saying that Leon Osman was the Skem Xavi - absolutely ridiculous.

They hyped that minamino up as if they were all avid watchers of the Austrian league too lol

I'll be buzzing if all we hear is how amazing Teeeeaaaaaarrrrrgo is with his 5 yard square passes. Means they're just continuing to convince themselves that hes something he's not.

They're missing Jota massively, he gives them a completely different energy because it looks to me like Firminho is spent. Hes given his best days to them and he'll be lobbed on the scrap heap in the summer if they can recoup a decent price for him.

Salah and Mané are playing nowhere near their ability and it raises the questions, why? Possibly, the rumours of discontent behind the scenes may be true.

Wouldn't surprise me Phil.

A winning camp is a happy camp. A camp that isn't and fractures can begin to show very quickly.

I hope they implode.

Quickly

And very painfully.

I'm really enjoying their fume about the ref blowing 5 seconds early (according to the TV clock). Things keep coming up on my Facebook about it and it's brilliant.

He shouldn't have added a minute in the first place, there was literally no time to add.

Goals from a lot of different players is a sign of a very good team. I might even watch the next few city matches in full as it sounds like Guardiola has re-worked the team to evolve their style yet again.

He has definitely reworked the team style & tactics. I think he has finally woken up to the fact that if he wants to win the CL again, then he needs a decent defence. Getting booted out again in the quarter finals last year to the European powerhouse that is Lyon was finally a wake up call to him and the DOF. Last night against Palace we were superb. But the game before that against Brighton we're labouring for a long time in the second half
so still a work in progress.

I think it’s beyond the realms of possibility but a full implosion from them resulting in them not even making top 4 would be glorious. Klopp would be off and they’d be left with ageing stars on absolute mega deals. City United look good bets for the top 4, and at this point I’m still in the mind set of ‘they’ll probably win the league so if they don’t that’s a good outcome’ but if they drop some more points and City get a good gap over them then it would be great to see Spurs Chelse Leicester and even us start to make them sweat on that top 4 spot. An injury to Mane Salah or Allison and they’d really start to panic.

If they finished 5th an we finish 4th ahead of the worlds greatest prem team of all time. Would just be amazing heads would proper fall of in glorious fashion. That said if we finished top 4 I couldn’t careless where they finished. I would just be made up we was in the champions league.

Be nice to break their home record.

The 2 Manchester teams, us, Chelsea, Leicester, Tottenham and Villa or Arsenal to be above them after the last game is played this season would be glorious.

Add another 9 or 10 teams into that list to be above them and I'd be in dreamland!

Imagine the fume.

Just seen this advertised on Facebook Marketplace.
A) Why would anyone even have such a thing to begin with?
B) At what point do you then think, well I probably don’t need my life-size St Virgil of the Crippled Virgins cardboard cutout any more?
