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

[nikom court]

Only if they win it - Klopp will eulogise that back when he was a kid in stuttgart he remembers watching in awe - Oxford utd v QPR in 86 dreaming of one day lifting that most coveted of three handled pots.
And the media will lap it up.

the semi final when QPR beat the best team in the world was excellent!

The old milk cup was a decent trophy TBF.

Just reminds me of being cheated out of a trophy in 84

Full inquiry underway on BBC sport into this calamitous defeat. Questions in Parliament next,

Need City to not get complacent. Brentford and Arsenal away are both tricky fixtures. If they drop any points at all then Liverpool will bounce into that Chelsea game knowing a win probably puts them back in the hunt.

Conversely if City can slam two wins on the board and a 12 point gap requiring Liverpool to beat Chelsea then Tuchel is good enough to take advantage and screw them on the counter.

City are just too good to drop points against Brentford. Against an Arsenal team gearing up for a LC SF tussle with Liverpool and without Arteta in the dugout they'll also beat. They are just too good.

Liverpool will drop points against Chelsea, for sure...probably all 3.

That'd make ita 12 point lead with Liverpool a game in hand to draw back to 9 points behind. City have won the title by that stage.

Really can’t see this unless Klopp puts out a weakened team in both legs. There’s no score Arsenal could be up by after the first leg that I wouldn’t bank on a full strength Liverpool clawing back at Anfield. The only way I see them losing that is if it gets cut to one leg and it’s at the Emirates, or if Klopp wants to make some silly ‘look how difficult I have it’ statement and play kids both legs whilst Artets puts the full team out. I’m not even confident Arteta will do that as he can sniff a top 4 spot now with United all over the place.

It was a full strength Liverpool apart from Robertson last night...and a weakened Leicester were well deserved winners.

They keep moaning about squad depth and City’s wealth but last night in amongst their mythical injury crisis (like seriously is anyone even unavailable for them?) they had on the bench

A 36 million pound centreback

A 60 million pound midfielder

A 30 million pound forward who is normally first choice but only on the bench because their 50 million pound reserve forward is keeping him out

They had Thiago fit but not selected because he hadn’t trained enough - 30 mill pound player.

On the pitch they had a 70 million pound goalkeeper, behind a 70 million pound centre back (both world record fees at the time close to double what the previous record was for a player in that position at the time)

A midfield three worth 100 million pounds

A front three worth close to 130 million pounds.

‘It’s not fair though because City have got money’

Could Thiago not have done some 'idea training'?

Check your post in the morning Stan.

Harsh that from Collymore. You can't expect a team full of asthmatics to be able to play in this cold weather, at night!

If they dont win anything this season, no way is Salah and possibly Mane sticking around. Klopp will be gone in 2024 and they are done then. They would be nuts to finish their careers there.

Look at Salah, for the numbers and consistency he's had for a while, he's not even getting talked about with the greats. He needs to go to Real or Barca for that really.

But do Real and barca have as effective herbal asthma treatments?

Them poor tedmen need a booster jab.

I'd love Dyche to respond.

"The tit should have been sent off the other day. Then he spends ages moaning about Kane's tackle and the injustice of that smack rat seeing red to such a degree that in ensured that the ref overlooked a leg breaking challenge against Leicester that was worse than anything in the previous game."

Sean Dyche was brilliant in his press conference yesterday. Didn't take the bait, just said everybody is entitled to an opinion then called out Henderson for his comments about player welfare in a very factual manner.

OMG. I've just dipped into RAWK for the first time, cause I'd exhausted this place and didn't have anything to do. They are unreal. It's totally delusional. The hypocrisy knows no bounds. I'm at a loss for words. I won't be doing that again for a very, very long time.

I'd rather smear honey over my balls and lie down on an ant farm rather than look at that site.

Wish I'd thought of that.
