Topic: The Title Race 2023/24- Jurgen's Last Dance

[Caps4444]

So many issues with the team.

Looks like they've never played together and we are recycling how we used to play with players not suited to it.

Look a jaded team in need of freshen up.

Horrible stuff

It will be freshened up next season.

[vladis voice]

Nah… this ain’t happening, bubble burst in the FA cup game and we’ve looked less and less capable of doing anything since

[jepovic]

Klopp has to take quite a bit of blame for this debacle.
We knew how Atalanta would play, but we had no idea how to get ball up. There was no game plan.

[Fromola]

We'll properly kick ourselves if City do have some slip ups because we're done.

These have completely outsmarted us. Better that than get had off in the final to Leverkusen or Roma.

[TheShanklyGates]

Gutted for him. He deserved so much better than this.

[Caligula?]

As much as I adore and worship Jurgen, I can’t wait for this to end and a new era. You can smell the lack of energy everywhere.

I think he's shattered and has nothing left to give anymore. It's been like that for a while now.

[Kansti]

Last dance ending with a whimper

[hide5seek]

I'd go back to playing the kids.
They gave it more of ago when we had all the injuries.

[Nick @ TorchTriathlon]

Some people need to give their head a wobble.

That was much better from the lads, and a massively tricky game to balace; concede one and it’s done, and need to score goals.

The chances were better, once they didn’t go in, you knew it wasn’t our night. Most games over the last 8 years, Mo scores that chance in the first easily.

And that weird bounce past the goalkeeper is taken advantage of in the second half.

The footballing gods decided we are part of Atalantas story this season, rather than them being part of ours.

We don’t know whose story it is in the league, but we have it’s definitely too early to throw in the towel now.

[TheCunningScorpion]

I can not see us winning an away game again this season. The players look completely lacking in belief.

[Fromola]

That United cup game was like the 4-4 derby game for Kenny.

We've rode our luck a lot this season (most away wins have been in injury time and we've gone behind so many times at Anfield). It's not sustainable. We were on easy street in the Europa League with the group (still lost 2 away games) and then the Prague tie. Come up against a decent side and we fell well short.

Other than Arsenal in the FA Cup, have we even beat a good team all season? We come up short when a team has the right gameplan. We're out of ideas.

The damage was done in the first leg and just staying in the tie tonight was fine, but we didn't really threaten their goal at all last half an hour. It wasn't as if we were just holding back to stay in it, we just didn't have much of a clue going forward. Totally bereft.

Yup. It's those pesky footballing gods alright. Nothing to do with us.

[TALBERT]

We look like a lame duck…

Last open play goal on the 7th of April

Man Utd go into half time with

0 shots

0 hope

Bruno scores after a fuck up and Mainoo is made to look like peak Zidane…


From there we haven’t looked back…

[Yorkykopite]

Thank god, at least, that our next three matches are away from Anfield. Any more of this lethargic rubbish and the home crowd could easily turn on the team.

They already have

[spider-neil]

Just get the three wins needed for CL football and prepare for next season. We look out of ideas and dead on our feet.

[StevoHimself]

That midweek game under the lights at Goodison is going to be an absolute delight, isn't it.

[Clint Eastwood]

I think he's shattered and has nothing left to give anymore. It's been like that for a while now.

Agreed. He seems pretty done.

[Barneylfc∗]

Over 270 minutes now without a goal from open play. The attack has fallen apart completely

360 minutes really. Gakpo's goal v Sheffield United.

Since then 2 penalties and a goal from a corner. Shocking stuff.

[Caps4444]

Imagine going into the last few matches with the risk of Spurs or Villa overtaking us if they beat us.
We really need to win one of our next 3.

Don't think we've beaten many in recent years. Even when we beat City in October of the last season it barely meant anything because you knew we'd not build on it. Ending the complete opposite to how it started under Klopp, most of his standout wins early doors were against good sides who'd achieved stuff.

I fully get the enjoy the last games stuff, I will as best I can but can completely understand that there probably won't be much actual enjoyment in them. Judging by how it's fell apart in the last month a change will do us good.

[Stockholm Syndrome]

Change the thread title to fighting for Europe? Seems a fair portion of our fans believe it's going to be a difficult task for us to get CL football

[rawcusk8]

11 points clear of 5th place yet people are shitting their pants about missing out on champions league football. One point off of top place yet we have no chance to win the league. If that don’t sum this forum up then I don’t know what does.. one extreme to the other, laughable.

[JP!]

The last dance has turned into a slow waltz. We are so fucking ponderous its unbelieveable. What the fuck has happened?

[Bincey]

We'd need to win 6 in a row for a chance of winning it. Trouble is the most we've won in a row in the Prem this season is 5. And now we have to factor in the recent poor form/performances as well

[Caps4444]

Let’s see after the 3 away games in 6 days.
We need to win one of them or get 3 draws.

[Fromola]

These 3 away games will be horrible. Fulham and Everton will smell blood.

[Caligula?]

The last dance has turned into a slow waltz. We are so fucking ponderous its unbelieveable. What the fuck has happened?

Fatigue, lack of belief, uncertainty of the future, disillusionment that some may not be here next season among many others.

[Stockholm Syndrome]

Do you think we are not winning a single game again this season? A few people seem to think it

[DelTrotter]

No we don't. Tottenham likely won't even beat our points tally, you can get 100/1 for us to finish outside top 4 on betfair exchange, go and change your life and become a millionaire if it's so nailed on.

[JP!]

Fatigue, lack of belief, uncertainty of the future, disillusionment that some may not be here next season among many others.

But why now and not 2 months ago when it was announced? The situation's exactly what it was before.

Fatigue, yeah, fair enough. The other bits I don't really accept.

[Fromola]

We should win the last 2 at home. Anything we pick up away we'll have seriously dog it out.

[Caps4444]

No we don't. Tottenham likely won't even beat our points tally, you can get 100/1 for us to finish outside top 4 on betfair exchange, go and change your life and become a millionaire if it's so nailed on.

I didn’t say it’s nailed on….but we’ve seen how we can potentially lose a number on the bounce.
Jan/Feb 21/22.

[Mister Flip Flop]

I'd go back to playing the kids.
They gave it more of ago when we had all the injuries.

Absolutely, at least they will try. Fulham will beat that team we put out tonight anyway, they all are completely knackered.

[Pistolero]

Yeah, this dream is over I'm afraid.... Jürgen looks to have checked out...and unfortunately so do the players....City at home felt like a potential final charge was underway - but looking back at the calamitous weeks since then, that was as good as it got...

[Caps4444]

Do you think we are not winning a single game again this season? A few people seem to think it

I didn’t say that.
But we have to be careful….we have 3 nightmare away games.

[Legs]

I can not see us winning an away game again this season. The players look completely lacking in belief.

Just won away tonight !

We have 4 always left we will win at least one of them.

[Stockholm Syndrome]

I didn’t say that.
But we have to be careful….we have 3 nightmare away games.

But you do believe that if we don't win on Sunday the players will check out

[rawcusk8]

Jan/Feb 21/22.

From a few years ago? fuck me it’s like you want to just moan for the sake of moaning. Are you genuinely saying you fear we’ll miss out on top 4 cos a few years ago we lost a few on the bounce.
