LiverpoolTMFailed - a thread of their own

Note. This is not described as “Liverpool Buy the Title”. Of course not. Only Manchester City are accused of buying the league title with their ‘dirty oil money’ ™️the media and assorted trolls.

'Liverpool's record-breaking summer has surely made title a formality'​

 
A taste of their own medicine ….

Liverpool's players were subjected to fireworks let off outside their Istanbul hotel designed to disturb their sleep….”

Oh the moaning that is going on. Apparently in the build up to the rag opener VVD clattered one of his own team mates in a challenge for the ball and now they’re all bleating that the ref should have stopped the game.

As always in these situations I would like to hear what they would have said had the situation been reversed. I am sure they would have instantly shouted for the play to have been stopped. Of course they would.

Tough at the top isn’t it boys?

Too many times the ref stops the game for a near fatal injury, watch them pop up quick smart, if the refs in general grew some and played on, the game would flow, and the play acting would subside.
 
The laughable part is that the ‘injured’ player was not VVD, a defender, but MacAlister so for all the whining ….(my highlight)….maybe they should focus on the fact that their defender should have pulled his finger out rather than relying on the referee.

“The debate will continue about whether referee Michael Oliver should have stopped play when Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister lay prone nursing a head injury, inflicted accidentally by captain Virgil van Dijk's elbow.

Instead, the game continued, Bryam Mbeumo taking advantage of Van Dijk reacting slowly to recover his position, finishing smartly past Liverpool's deputy keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.”

Does he actually realise how ridiculous this sounds? Team changes their selection. STOP PRESS. :rofl:

Clearly he’s dusted off the “Jurgen Klopp Big Book of Excuses”.

"We've seen Sesko play the last three, four, five or six times, but they go to Liverpool they change the line-up. That's not the first where we've faced a team and they've done that."

How many times have teams played us with the 'Parked Bus' so many I have lost count, how many times has Pep criticised teams for doing so.

All we said was we have to find a way to move the bus

IMO Pep never gets enough credit for the way he discusses our successes or our (rare) failures. He is never one to come out with this sort of BS.
 
From The Athletic:-

“Arne Slot was understandably peeved by Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat at home to Manchester United on Sunday. He had to come up with some reasons why his team had lost when giving his post-match interviews.

What did he go for?

▪️ Missed chances from his profligate attackers?
▪️ Slack defending for both United goals?
▪️ Maybe it was just bad luck and one of those days, seeing as Cody Gakpo alone hit the woodwork three times?

Slot started his post-game interview with Sky Sports by saying: “If you play United, that comes here with a low block, playing a lot of long balls, you know it’s going to be difficult.”

According to respected data website FBref, Manchester United attempted 91 long balls at Anfield (defined in this case as a pass 30 yards or longer).

Liverpool attempted 85.”

Clearly self-awareness has gotten lost somewhere now that his honeymoon is over and his multi-million £ acquisitions misfire.

P.P. Arne - Newcastle have asked you stop calling them for a refund on the £115m you paid for Isak. They say check the T&Cs - no returns.

Once in a while, out of the blue a striker has a good season, Rashnaldo comes to mind as a recent example. The following seasons the said striker reverts to type, say 8/10 goals. I think Isak fits into this bracket. Elite strikers do their 20 plus season after season, if they stay fit.
 
Just like to run this post past you all to ck if it is offensive?

Police in Liverpool have arrested 9 of 10 well known Liverpool fans. Bin Snortin, Bin Dealin, Bin Dippin, Bin Spittin, Bin Slippin, Bin Bungin, Bin Cheatin, Bin Bottlin and Bin Thievin have been caught so far, but there is no sign of Bin Workin.

Very politically incorrect and harsh [but fair]. :giggle:
 
No Excuses….seems like a lot of them to me. 🤔

"Against Brentford it was two days after we played Eintracht Frankfurt away and I saw a team that is struggling to play three games in seven days, but it is not an excuse," he added.
"I've seen the struggles some players have had in pre-season. It's a new challenge to play in the Premier League and Champions League, three games in seven days.
"Our squad is probably not as big as people think it is. There has not been a change in the way we look at this."
BBC

I’m sorry?

“It’s a new challenge to ……play three games in seven days”? WTF? To quote John McEnroe ……you can not be serious.

What a load of garbage.
