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


Gundogan at City, the two Poles that made up Dortmunds right side, Kuba and Pieszcek?, are all classic examples of players driven in to the ground by klippity. I’m thinking Goetze too but my memory may be playing tricks. Most of these players never got back to anywhere near their level, bodies broken. One could argue that Gundogan has only got his body right this season, all these years later

There were more too. Kagawa, Reus, Goetze, Subotic, The Greek Centre half, Sahin etc all just ruined by Klopp.
 

Drip, drip, drip.

I posted yesterday that Steve Nicol said on BT that the RS have missed their fans more than any other club. This is not the first time that I've heard people pushing this narrative. In fact, it's incessant. Nicol also added that teams and certain players are scared to play at The Pit. Little bit of 'let's get in their heads maybe' whilst he had the stage. He used Raheem Sterling as an example and said that he had his best game for City at The Pit this season when fans were not in attendance. Totally airbrushing that he has always been the invisible man against City. Even at the Etihad.

It's the same with the concept of 'injuries' that they've patented/trademarked.

This is what I mean by drip, drip, drip. Their dominance of the media also seems to affect non-RS pundits who, almost to a man, push the same agenda.

I fact, look back through this thread and witness how many Blues (and pretend Blues) also buy into this propaganda. Someone said on here something like 'to be fair, their home record has dropped off the most'. I'm not one to vault but erm, it is true of most teams. Different times. Let's investigate this.

RS

Home: Won 7, Drawn 2, Lost 6 => 5th best in the League. Only City and West Ham have won more at home.
Consider this - before the recent debacle they were Won 7, Drawn 2. Not much evidence of missing the fans (Yes @number4. I know that they had fans for 3 games). They won 2 and drew the other with the mighty West Brom.

Away: Won 5, Drawn 5, Lost 3 => 9th best in the League.

Amazingly they seem to be missing fans at away games just as much.

For comparison, let's consider Everton.

Home: Won 5, Drawn 2, Lost 6 => 14th best in the League. 2 League games with fans and 2 wins.

Away: Won 9, Drawn 2, Lost 3 => 4th best in the League

Don't tell anyone but it would seem that we are missing our fans much more.
This tripe about them missing their fans is a ridiculous excuse, the atmosphere at Castle Greyskull is pretty rubbish for most games except the big ones and the latter stages of the Champions League.
 

More games in Europe... he’s gonna rest his top players and surrender any chance of top 4.... all of klopp’s eggs are in one basket
