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

[Yarrgh]

Call me stupid, call me a RS, but I just don’t see how a connection can be made between COVID testing & a drop in performances. Quite a ridiculous statement.

Well it never crossed my mind, but if you insist...

 

[Ghost Rider]

You do know that's not really how football works, dont you mate?

I get you are downplaying the danger of the game but if our defence is that bad currently that we can't shut out 4 goals in 15 minutes, or 3 goals in 15 minutes against villa then there is a track record this season. Plus the giant hole in the middle of the pitch , aging full back Vs mane, no striker etc.

We are in a bad way right now without a light at the end of the tunnel. If you put lewen and doucoure back in that side I'd believe we could beat them. Without them we can't even beat Watford.

A Covid test can also test for PEDS? A simple nasal & throat scrape can test for human growth hormone, EPO, beta blockers, stimulants & diuretics? Genuinely interested, as it seems for all these years, players getting picked for drug testing sometimes have to wait for hours as they’re so dehydrated. All they had to do was swab nose & throat?

Very coincidental how their form mirrors the common cycling periods for PEDs. 2 years on then a nice rest period when they were absolutely cack, and straight back on them and now they’re great again. Pretty much exactly what happened with City when they barely lost a game for two seasons and then suddenly Norwich were winning at the Etihad and all these previously world class players looked absolute pony.

No, no it's just their special "diets"

I see skysports have decided the RS youths are a must see again on Wednesday night against no hopers Preston in the league Cup. They have overlook the match of the round of in form West Ham v Champions Man City.
Yet in the last round they avoided our 1st team away to championship side QPR to yet again show the RS youth at Norwich.Appalling love affair with that club they have.

I swear to God, looked out my bedroom window on Sunday.

My demented Scientologist neighbour and his freaky son ( who never go the game), were both dressed in RS shirts, and were busy setting off fireworks.

They are truly in a class of their own when it comes to WEIRDNESS.

Being a bit defensive there aren't you sugartits? Read back what I wrote, I never said covid tests could detect peds.

Their squad is just not there mate. We're NINE games into the season. They really needed City or Chelsea to be slow out of the blocks for them to stand any chance of hanging on to a 7-9 point lead they needed to carry through to the new year. That hasn't happened.

Chelsea haven't got going and are still top of the table and playing some strange line ups. City are playing well but aren't in top gear. Liverpool are eyeballs out at this stage and using all their resources to be in the top 3.

Its marathon not a sprint, it's early days yet to write off anybody...except for maybe us and united

I'd write Liverpool off right now. They are at peak performance by using every one of their first team squad of 15 players or so. Chelsea and City are either side of them in the table and they can both put two first teams out on the pitch if they so wanted.

Apart from the freak Leicester win, the title is won by clubs with squads with strength in depth.

Rather than write them off now, I want them go right to the wire, build themselves up, then spew it - much more fun.

If we could guarantee it, yes.

They'll win something this season, but it wont be the PL.

Any truth to the rumour that the AFCON is being cancelled / postponed? Just heard this now off my son but no idea if true.

Its been cancelled according to Cameroon media. Problems with infrastructure being blamed. Another country may step in.
