Topic: Are you enjoying it?

[Cafe De Paris]

Flogging a dead horse comes to mind… The players just don’t seem ready for the intensity.

[plura]

Yeah I’m not enjoying it either. In retrospect, I don’t know if I enjoyed a lot of last season… I more remember tension & anxiety then outright enjoyment.

Definitely need to work on letting results impact my mood too much one way or the other. These types of performances just leave you … I don’t know, dispirited?

It’s been a while since I saw that fast paced Liverpool team. That excited you with hunger, speed and talent. We’ve moved into a slow dulling controlling team without that spark. And without a midfield that can compete with the best. At least not in the PL, CL and more at the same time.

[Van Halen]

I think it can come together. Belief.

I still think/sorta believe the players will come good.
I still believe the sun will rise tomorrow
I still have not an inkling of doubt about Klopp
I still know, with 100% certainty, as fact and no matter the passage of time and the tricks memories play that John Terry is a c*nt.

A bit drunk and dismayed otherwise. That sucked.

We have grown old together and have had a wonderful life, a few years in The Wilderness now until next time. Unless you are City with billions to throw around all good things in life come to an end.

[NaivetyinBlack]

Feels like the 2014-15 season.

I know we have injuries, but with every passing game it does feel like this is a changing of the guards, yes.

[Benimar Col]

No I don’t think they are and that’s the problem. They’ve finished with two of the three of the highest points tallys in premier league history and ‘only’ won the league once

Heartbreak in the final last year. These boys are human at the end of the day and the ones that have been around for most of it like VVD, Trent etc the effect to me is obvious as form is affected

Which underlines for me even more why Mane wanted out

not a bad suggestion,  we’ve got used to being mediocre in the League for twenty odd years, then Klopp arrives,, but surely their wages soften the blows ?   we are looking just like ManUtd were when they played Brentford,, but our malaise is extending and extending and doesn’t seem to be abating

[Simplexity]

This is somewhere between 09-10 and 14-15 for me. Not quite as bad as 20-21, that one was absolutely brutal.

[meady1981]

Got to take the rough with the smooth.
Always enjoy this team.
The levels have been up there with any team in history.
Football never ends.

[JP!]

Yes.

Greatest football club in the fucking world.

[duvva 💅]

Something wrong if you aren’t

[ToneLa]

It feels more like a duty than a pleasure
A part of my soul than a pasttime
It can drive me to tears as much as joy

so no I'm not enjoying it exactly

But I wouldn't change it

Having a massive reason to REALLY enjoy it would be welcome though

[damomad]

I start each week of the season with a bottle of optimism. The past couple of weeks, as each day passes I start getting more and more tipsy until pre game day I'm absolutely bladdered on it. I then start to sober up badly in the first 0-15 minutes of our games, the hangover starts to kick in just before half time peaks at full time and lasts all the way through until the day after (dependent on how much time I've spent on RAWK).

Once it passes, I go out and get myself another bottle of optimism.

[Black Bull Nova]

Not this week

Not this week

Struggling to remember a worse week in at least the last five seasons.  I'm sure there probably have been, but this feels especially bleak after the fiasco at OT.  That one really hurt and I hate to say, but it looks like the team hasn't gotten over that match any better than I have.

The week where we missed out on the title because Gerrard’s Villa couldn’t hang on to 2 goal lead and also lost the CL final (amidst the Paris chaos) wins easily.

Recency bias. 

You're right of course.  That week was worse (but we only lost one match that week as opposed to this one. )

True, but after that week I wanted nothing to do with football for a good while. Despite an awful week I'm excited to see what the future holds with a new structure and young squad. Having said that, it helps that I'm less invested in football these days (I think the end of 2021-22 has a lot to do with this). Also, unlike previous title races, I just had a small feeling that we wouldn't make it over the line regardless of my excitement about it all. I was convinced we would win the Europa League though, so that's shite.

Football has always impacted my mood too much, particularly during the rollercoaster that has been Klopp's tenure. I've distanced myself from it all because it wasn't really worth it.

Not really sure they got over the QF to be honest. To play United 3 times this season without beating them has cost us dearly this season, I don't know how we managed that to be honest.

Yeah, I just blank out those sorts of weeks as a black cloud which disappears as you move away from it. I try and distract myself by avoiding football all together.


Imagine if your whole season was like that, or most of the last 30 years.

[Black Bull Nova]

Unfortunately it seems like the players felt like that as well
