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


Can you imagine if that lot had fluked their way past PSG and deprived that team of winning the CL. That tie was the biggest mismatch I’ve seen in ages. Liverpool were nowhere near PSG. I think Barca would have slapped them as well this season.

Slot has bought some time thanks to the rest of the league being in absolutely no shape to challenge and the refs airlifting his team for half a season. Won’t be long before Mordor starts asking questions on his knockout record if he messes up again next season early on in Europe. Nothing annoys them more than being an irrelevance in Europe
 
Here i am at a festival in Cheltenham, that I've been attending for probably 20 years. I always like to do a bit of an unofficial football shirt survey. Surprisingly this year, Everton have a fair few on show - probably the majority, if I'm honest. There are a number of rs ones too - mainly worn by kids who are, by nature, glory hunters and don't know the club's dark stained history.

My conclusion from this data, if extrapolated, is that there are more people from up north, (Everton), coming to Cheltenham than there are from London and the home counties (rs).

PSG are what I call 'European Royalty'. Them and Real Madrid. Just those two.

They’re not at the top table and their fans know it deep down this season. There was an absolute chasm between the teams over two legs. PSG were even confident enough at one goal down to claim they’d turn it around in the second leg at Anfield, and then went and did it with ease. They’d seen enough from the first leg to know that these were absolute pretenders at this level.

The lack of quality across the rest of the league resulting in their title has papered over the reality that Slot is presiding over a worse Liverpool team than Klopp did. They were absolutely porous at the back all season with bang average teams getting in behind them numerous times. This terrible Everton team should have done the double over them and with some ease. Worst final performance in decades v Newcastle, out of the cup to Plymouth and the bouncer to the top table of the CL took one look at them and shook his head.

If City and Arsenal get themselves together next season, the kopites will be turning on him before long. He can consider himself very fortunate Pep didn’t bother last season or he’d probably be on thin ice already.

Yes, they are a poorer team than Klopp's Liverpool and the points total proves it.

The opposition got much worse though, and that's how they sealed that title.

I cant see even any usual Liverpool FC hack who makes a case for Slot's team as one that's anywhere near vintage.

The PL is in big trouble when bang average teams like Salah + luggage have won it by January.
