Liverpool FC Forum / Re: The Title Race 2023/24- Jurgen's Last Dance

« Last post by LFCEmpire on Today at 08:31:45 am »

If we learned one thing over the past 7 years, it is not to torture yourself over other's results. Yes, we'll be looking out for Arsenal this week and taking a note of City at Brighton but all we can do is win our games.

We were not completely rebuilt last summer and must be 99% of all fans did not expect a title charge this season. We absolutely have to put everything into the last 5. The common 'Derby draw' that Everton sometimes eke out will not be enough for us, so we have to go for it even more.

End of the day, these are the last games of Jurgen Klopp, it will come down to nerve, finishing, thank Fowler we have Trent back and looking good again.

These are good times to be a Red, as I fully believe the backroom set up for next season is looking excellent, with a coach to come.

But this is Jurgen's last lap, let's enjoy it.

Refreshing post, thank you. It filled me with optimism of what the future beholds for our beloved club.

To be fair, Sky were a lot harsher on officials back when Keys and Gray were there. The mood changed when Neville and Carragher were allowed access to Stockley Park.

They weren’t though.   

It’s a brand that they don’t want harmed. Look at how they never mention City.

I dont get how most fans were clamouring for Edwards return, clamouring for a return to the data-driven approach but at the first opportunity of them possibly taking that route to choose the manager, are chomping at the bits.

All we have learnt in the past 24 hours was that Amorim is now not likely anymore. No new name has come up and nothing to indicate the decision that they will take.

If this going to be the attitude then no one stands a chance. We have to be prepared to get behind whoever gets the job. Also, none of us know how it will go, suppose the person exceeds expectations? Unless you give people a chance who knows what they are capable of?

Who says I am not giving him a chance, Christ he's not even the manager yet and may not be. Once anyone comes in they have  a chance. But let's be real here, not many people would be declaring it a great hit of business going from Klopp to Frank, I don't believe he would be anyone's first choice, and not many peoples second choice either

Nice post Alonso! Yeah, but week ahead. If Palmer is out tonight that’s annoying but Chelsea have looked better of late. They seem to kiss a lot of handed but just needs a night where one does go in. We haven’t seen enough if Arsenal going behind and seeing how they react, hopefully tonight that can happen.

An improvement, how? Every week you people rage at footballers who fall over the moment the wind blows. How exactly would it be better, leaving it to a bunch of cheats to decide the game? It would end with massive brawls more likely.

A brawl or two, maybe, and then it would balance itself out. Much like those prison experiments where they allow inmates previously unimaginable freedom to move, make calls and organise themselves - they quickly find the balance and stomp out the worst behaviour in order to maintain the bigger prize of freedom. Referees are not the bullwark against diving and cheating, but also enablers of it, as they more often than not reward it, let it go unpunished and actively encourage players to try through their spotty approach to prohibiting the practice. So yeah, we need the refs, obviously. But we're also at a stage now where we might as well not have them because we would not have a much worse game flow, fairer outcome and better football. They aren't fit for purpose.

I don`t particularly want Emery, but I don`t agree with you. A former player managing in an inferior league has is essence taken the view he wants to have a crack at the CL with his current team and has effectively ruled himself out. What makes you think that if Emery finishes top 4 with Villa he wouldn`t take the same view ?

Said manager has less experience so wants to learn more, and is young enough that he knows he has an exciting career ahead of him, and likely has his choice of 3 top jobs at some point in his career. He also likely already has a route to arguably to some the biggest job in world football in a year, with Real Madrid.

That is compared to Emery who is older and this could quite possibly be his last chance at a real top job, an opportunity which may completely pass him by and not offered again due to his past falls at Arsenal.

Liverpool FC Forum / Re: Our fantastic away support

« Last post by sheepfest on Today at 08:24:31 am »

In an odd way, this sequence of away games may suit us because the home support is currently very nervous. The atmosphere in the Palace game was horrible. More hindrance than help.

Think for many at home they need to remember this is the final stretch for Klopp and just enjoy every moment with him, whatever may happen.

Easier said than done I know for the habitual moaners who rarely enjoy any singing and prefer looking at phones or chatting about last night's tea.

Surely people hoovering up hotel rooms and flights long before their team has made it only adds to the difficulties of supporters attending a European final?
