Liverpool FC Forum / Re: LFC's next manager - chat and informed speculation

Does anyone have the feeling that Klopp lost the changing room in the past month?
How else can you explain the attitude of the once mentality monsters who roamed Anfield?
Which led the total collapse of their performance.

Don't think so to be honest. I think possibly we just had a few set backs and it really knocked the stuffing out of a bunch of young players who were probably running on fumes at that stage anyway, due to the amount of injuries we've had. When that happens, it's absolutely possible that the team just doesn't click, players play tentatively and look shadows of their former selves. Having so many away games didn't help either. I don't think it was anything to do with the manager or players not trying - it just sometimes comes down to the fact that we were probably a bit short on confidence and things didn't go our way this time.

It's been a gruelling season, and the players have fought pretty hard to get as deep into competitions as they have. At the point that we had just drawn to City, we were still at the top of the table (I think Arsenal only ahead on goal difference) and were still in all the competitions. Since then we've really just had a number of bad performances and set backs. That Man Utd loss in the FA cup and the Atalanta loss really knocked the stuffing out of us and I wonder if the players have just collectively lost a bit of hope from there. They are young players as well that need to learn that to be at the very top, you have to keep going no matter what. You can't afford to stop and look at the table or worry about what could have been. The very best of the best are always looking to push the boundaries of how far they can go and how well they can play, no matter what has just happened the game before. Hopefully they can learn from it and get back to winning ways soon

Injuries = less rotation = players tired physically and mentally

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

« Last post by lobsterboy on Today at 03:55:14 am »

I want to get behind the new fella but what's the point these days?
It's bent, rigged and refereed by corrupt Manc bastards.
Pointless watching it.
No matter how good we are they will continue to fuck us over.
We aren't reffed to the same rules, haven't been since SKY got in bed with the Mancs but now it's worse than ever. 
Elbowing our players, ruling out fair goals, letting opponents foul with impunity, ruling out any goal of ours they can.
Not worth watching.
All the soccer am bantz c*nts are welcome to the farce.
I'd rather watch paint dry and it's better for my health.

Me and the lad went to 'Monkey Man' yesterday. Pretty good.  Kind of a John Wick, Kill Bill hybrid. Nothing groundbreaking to be honest but we both enjoyed it.
Now I've never been to India but I think Patel gave us a great feeling of being right there in a claustrophobic, bustling sweating underbelly of a major City in India.
Fuck me though, my head was spinning when it finished due to the shaky cam and frantic editing.

Watching that later, just read it was filmed in Batam which is a short ferry ride from Singapore, which you'd never guess.

Bruins taking a 3-0 into the 3rd period and might be 3-1 up in the series at the end of this game.

Tough to see a way back for the Leafs if that happens. The usual introspection in this hockey mad city would begin and who knows where they'll go from there.

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

« Last post by PaleBlueDot on Today at 02:51:03 am »

The thing is you don't trust Nunez to do anything. You don't trust him to lead our attack, you don't trust him to counter attack and you don't trust him against a low block.

The thing is the stats don't back that up. For his two seasons at Liverpool he has been pretty much bang on a League goal every 180 minutes. So a goal every other game if he played the full 90 every week. So around 19 League goals per season despite not being a regular penalty taker for us.

At Benfica in his second season he scored a League goal every 76 minutes which is prolific.

So from the age of 21-24 he has scored a League goal every 123 minutes. So if he played 90 minutes in every game he would average out at just under 28 League goals per season from the age of 21-24.

Amazing how a player you wouldn't trust to play in an under 9's 5 a side has a record like that?

Exaggerating much hah. I don't think Nunez is shite. I think he's okay...and is probably one of my favourite personalities in the team. Looks calm off the pitch but a madman on it. Gives his all. If I could wave a magic wand and have one player succeed I'd pick him. I just don't think he's good enough to lead Liverpool's attack. No hate on the fella.

Stats are stats but nothing beats the eye test + context.

There are literally tens of posts where you have argued differently in the past, that Rodgers and Klopp did not have the final say on transfers …

Ian Ayre

“There’s only one person that has the final say over what players [we sign] at Liverpool Football Club and that’s Jurgen Klopp right now,” he insisted.

“That’s always been the case for as long as I’ve been here.”


What I have said previously is that the situation has been manipulated so that the manager has basically Hobsons choice.

Yep, if he was paying advantage then there was no reason to call on the physio. Total garbage yet again because of a reflex that miraculously only kicks in when Liverpool or Wolves are the wronged party. No corruption!!
