This nonsense about Liverpool not being able to challenge again next season
« on: May 11, 2014, 09:54:29 PM »

Before I start, I just want to say how chuffed I am to hear our manager say the same things in a post match interview, the same things that I am about to echo again here. For you. For us. For the competition.

He speaks a lot of sense a lot of the time Brendan in this football world of utter nonsense.

Now to the thread title....

I keep hearing and seeing this all over, mainly from rival supporters....but I've also picked up on it in the media. Its started.

It all seemed to start immediately after the Chelsea game. (How convenient)

You know, you've probably heard it yourselves by now:

"This was our best chance, next season will be different, more games for Liverpool with the Champions League, other teams will improve" etc etc etc


What people fail to mention (because it suits them not to right about now) is that, of course Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United etc etc will all add to their squads. Of course they will......



BUT. SO. WILL. WE.


(Thats the FIRST point Rodgers made.)


What people also fail to mention at this moment in time, is the same thing applies to all those teams around us. How could Arsenal be 1st this season for so long with all those extra games? How could Man City win the league with all those extra games in Europe? Why aren't Chelsea sitting in 7th right now because they got to the Champions League semi-finals?



Its absolute rubbish to target us with. Rubbish.



Look at the last 18 months or so we have had in this league. Look at it!

With what we have.

Did any of us seriously think before this season started we'd be up there challenging till the last-[Poor language removed]-day?

No, most of our expectations were top 4. We were made to believe and dream big once again because of THIS team. We didn't go into this season believing that - THIS team MADE us believe it, they forced us to believe and dream, in a world that told us otherwise. THEY made it seem possible. It was possible because of THEM.

We've exceeded those original expectations and done INCREDIBLE with what we have. With what we HAVE and what we have in comparison to Man City's overall team is not a lot. Yet we pushed them (beat them once, hard done by at the Etihad) all the way and if it wasn't for us slipping up, we would of won the whole thing with what we HAVE....and that what we HAVE can STILL be improved on.

Don't forget this.


(Thats the SECOND point Rodgers made after the game.)


There is still plenty of room for improvement and the key thing is our manager knows where it is, but most importantly he knows very well and understands there is room for that improvement. Improvement on THIS team......a team just 3 points from winning the league.

Our defence can be improved. But with THAT defence, yes.....THAT defence......we nearly won the league!?! THAT defence can be improved on. The squad can be improved on.

We will improve it.

What then? What if we concede less goals and still score the same amount of goals? What if our squad is improved on and it is deep enough and good enough to handle the extra games?

If anything, all this nonsense coming from rival supporters right about now, confirms one thing to me and one thing only.....and its the most important thing and all I need to know.





They are worried.



We are Liverpool.



They. ARE. Worried.

Liverpool are just all over the place. Balotelli doesn't fit their system at all, woeful signing. As for their midfield it is almost embarrassing, you'd never know they spent 120 mill in the summer it's just full of second and third rate players. Tomorrow is a must win for us, we have to open up a lead against them they're plummetting down the table. They will be 10th after Tottenham and Everton both win tomorrow. Absolute shambles Brendan Rodgers lol (clearly can't handle the extra european fixtures as well, completely out of his depth)

Using our advanced statistics, and the fact that Carroll cost -£15 million, the modified net-points-spend inverse matrix (with an adjustment for FA corruption) shows that der mighty redmen are well on track for #19. la.

Is right. They'll be dusting off their flares to meet the coaches in with and there'll not a spare hotel room in the city for the coronation weekend.

Demba Ba doesn't play in England anymore, so what can possibly go wrong?

And if it was the second leg of a 2 legged tie, and they had already won the away one 0 2, so they actually won really.

And their coefficient rating was improved by at least 3 lines and 4 graphs.
