If Slot comes in and finishes below 4th then, short of winning the CL, its a failure.
Just look at Klopp's and Pep's first seasons.

It was nowhere near the level they achieved in the following seasons. Looking at points and positions specifically is short-sighted. They need time to reach the peak of their work - it's about improving and being better the season before. Do that and the success will take care of it self. Don't do that and we'll have to find someone else.

'We are the most dynamic and entertaining teams in the league, it was all us in the 2nd half'

After drawing 1-1 with 2nd from bottom Burnley, at home

2nd half posession 45 /55

Oh and 1st half 49/51
To be fair to 7 Hag, they are definitely the most entertaining team in the league  8)

Reminds me of this, scroll to 1:00, yet this was allowed to stand

If it was one isolated incident fair enough but it's repeated.

These straws people are clutching at to protect these refs must be pretty worn out by now.

Taylor shits himself thinking we are going to grab a winner and almost blows the whistle out of his mouth. That is not the actions of a calm ref that is one who has panicked as they don't want something to happen, clear as fucking day after he literally tells the goalkeeper to fake an injury. I can't ever remember in the history of the game seeing a ref telling a player to fake an injury, especially when he has just chalked a goal off. If he is just 'shit' then he blows the whistle throws a drop ball to the keeper and carries on. These refs are arrogant as fuck, he doesn't need to go and tell the keeper to fake an injury but that's pure panic to try and cover his tracks as he has just shown his arse.

I mean, if he is just shit he can easily let the goal go in also, but it's always incompetence against us right? Funny that. Have we had maybe a crazy offside var this season in our favour, or a freeze frame red card, a last minute kick to the chest we got away with, or a ref actually telling our player to fake an injury!? No, but yeah it's all just incompetence and repeated coincidence against us and I'm sure other teams they have bias for/against.

Gone the game less than ever this season and I can't see me going next year, I've become way less attached to it than a once daily obsession it used to be. The cheat's done most of it, Klopp is going to take a lot out also, but it's now impossible to watch with these refs doing this more and more often, I can't remember a season like it this year. Yet the club does nothing and PGMOL (even if by a miracle it is all incompetence) smile away and allow manc refs to ref rival games and others to be actually paid by Man city's owners. The whole thing is utterly absurd and corruption, bias, incompetence or whatever way people want to call it I'm not going to be taken for a ride anymore, can't be arsed.

We desperately need to sign cover there next season to help Saka out. Olise/Pedro neto would be ideal, despite their questionable injury record. Super players.
Thing is though, if you get cover does Saka actually sit out many more games, maybe 5 more league games and doesn't worry about the domestic cups at all? Like with Salah for us if he was fit, he played, because he was that good and you usually need those difference makers on the pitch to get 90+ points. Just think at some point you'll need to give him less defensive work and then how does that knock on effect look. I think Arteta getting so many players to committ in the running to press and then get back in shape quickly is a massive plus for you. Just not sure how long it can be sustained with the same core. Like I say, just interested in how long it can last and maybe it just doesn't matter, but just basing it off our experience really.

Liverpool FC Forum / Re: Darwin Núñez (Darwin Gabriel Núñez Ribeiro)

As frustrated as I’ve been with him recently, he has 3700 minutes in the league which is about 41 games and he has 20 goals. That’s a good return. The frustration is it should be so much more and that’s what leads to the current debate. I have my frustrations, and I especially have my frustration with folks suggesting finishing is just luck and no skill, but a lot of the criticism is driven by emotion I think in regards to how this season has ended. There’s an elite striker in there where the hypothetical output becomes his actual output so I do think he’s being written off prematurely.

The more teams that experience City pipping them to a league, the more chance we may have of getting rid of the shit stains as it won't just be "lol Liverpool" anymore.

It mostly reverts to the mean. So, you're acknowledging that these are human beings and not coins and that sometimes it doesn't. Would it be fair to assume the likeliest cases for that would be players with less composure who blast the ball rather than place it, and have underperformed their xG almost every season in their career? Put aside your personal feelings Knight, would that be a logical assumption or not?This might be my favourite ever post on here. Someone makes up a hypothetical scenario in their head with absolutely no supporting evidence whatsoever and tries to use it as a slam dunk in an argument.

Hey, here's a question: if the stats people love Nunez so much, why were the Mancs the only team we were bidding against two years ago? Might it be because his signing had nothing to do with stats and everything to do with Klopp pushing for him ahead of Nkunku, the statisticians' actual choice?

That article is unbelievable tripe. Suggesting Nunez just played well against Liverpool whilst Nkunku had come off an unbelievable  season ( they both had) is misleading enough.
But telling the lie that he missed a string of chances in the Merseyside Derby is what renders it utter garbage. Unless a string equals one ;D
