Liverpool FC Forum / Re: The corruption fallacy - they’re all out to get us!

The club fucked up here playing it down. Should’ve called blue murder and demanded all at PMGOL step down.

Imagine if it had happened to a United player under Ferguson?

Liverpool FC Forum / Re: Mohamed Salah - Best in the World *

« Last post by slaphead on Today at 12:25:22 am »

There's frustration everywhere isn't there. Everyone's a bit sickened from the fans to the players to the management team. Salah is getting a touch because he's as far away as my first shite from where we need him to be and are used to him being.
I don't get this the attack is better than the defense or vice versa argument anyway. The defending side of our game is the whole team, from the forwards. If we're leaking goals it's on everyone. It causes countless arguments in dressing rooms and all. The amount of times there's an argument at half time or full time about where the problem came from is nuts, everyone blaming everyone.  If we're not scoring goals it tends to be the strikers misfiring so it's highlighted more and easier to pin on 1 player and call them a useless bastard.
Just get the season over now, I think we all need a break. Salah has been exemplary for us. He can be forgiven a little tantrum

This summed it up for me.



We allowed an employee to be assaulted by an official.

So whats your point here?
I said the Club should be the attraction, you seem endorse an individual should (not could) be an attraction but the example you gave failed.
fml, I know how Yorky feels now.

If you want ambitious players who are going to take you to the next level then you need to sell the project. You need a manager who can convince the player of two things the project and that the manager will improve the player. That is why we were able to sign Van Dijk and also why we have been able to keep hold of our best players.

We have also been able to recruit outstanding young players because they know they will get a chance under Klopp.

If you look back to how we became a big club then it was the ability of Shanks to sell the club to the likes of St John when we were a second division club. That is a manager telling a player the club is going places and that he will make them a better player. How does that work when you have a Sporting Director in charge of transfers?

I have the utmost disdain for opinions like this who minimise or dilute the enigmatic pulling power of Liverpool Football Club.

No question. It isnt hyperbole to state this is an iconic football club, one ot two in England (sorry Arsenal).

Probably the most iconic club ground in the country, certainly the most famous stand, likewise most famous anthem (on the planet).

When the opposition fans come to Anfield they have the cameras out, they know it's special. Foreign newspapers, same adulation about the place

When Jurgen heard of our interest, he asked his family, "how does Liverpool FC sound"?.

Look at Barcelona, a financial basket case (plus I've no idea who their manager is now), they can still draw Lewandowski.

Shall we buy Bowen?

He’ll be 28 in December.

I don’t think we’re spending the kind of money West Ham would want on a 27yr old. If they got £100m for Rice, they’d want £75m+ for Bowen I’d think. Paqueta probably goes for £50m+ too, so they wouldn’t be under any pressure to sell Bowen either.

Solid, not brilliant, but solid.

Huh? The first half was… well, deader than the eponymous dead horse.

The Banter-Industrial Complex goes from strength to strength. A newly-assembled Liverpool side not quite getting there in a 3-way title race is 'bottling' and cause of mirth. People going on about Liverpool thinking they were on for a quadruple...of course we did, why wouldn't you? Why would you bother with it if you didn't aim to win stuff?

It's not just us, Arsenal went out to Bayern in the CL QFs and were laughed at by the social media fuckwits.

The tribalism means nothing will ever improve. We all know social media is cancer and one of humanity's worst ever inventions. It's all so tiresome. I don't know, I'm just shattered after 8+ years of pretty much every single game and loads of ones involving our rivals having existential meaning.

We as Liverpool fans get the butt of most of the mainstream banter culture and we all see the poverty, calm down, tragedy shouts. United are getting it too and are in our 90s cycle of despair. Even City winning stuff know deep down that it's hollow, and if they don't they spend most of their time arguing against people telling them it is. Everyone else in the country is fighting for survival or for a sweet lick of that PL cash, despite the likelihood of being battered every week.

VAR, the refs and sportswashing too - need I elaborate?

The grounds (not just Anfield) are increasingly full of moaners, tourists or, more and more, chinged-up wannabe hard lads.

Oh, and it matters more when you give your hard-earned money to billionaire bookies.

Is anybody having fun any more?

Whatever Al. What are the ideal models? (post a unique Fergerson)
I'd have said a non-financially doped City with their team and manager. But they're out of the CL.
Arsenal - Arteta has done a great job but they are out of the CL. Whose behind him anyway
What about all of the teams left in the CL, should we / do we want to be like any of them. I've no idea what their set up is.

Liverpool in the 70's and 80's, Ferguson in the 90's and 00's, Wenger in the 00's have all been the dominant teams with the manager having a huge amount of power. Guardiola has dominated recently with a huge amount of power. Arsenal have flourished since under Arteta who has a lot of power.

The biggest turnaround in the Premier League has been Aston Villa with Emery bringing in his own DoF in Monchi and having a huge amount of power. Our best seasons over the last couple of decades have been when the likes of Benitez and Klopp had huge amounts of power.

No one in this League has ever had a transformative SD or DoF who has changed things and turned their team into the dominant force.
