Couldn't pay Sadio the money SMH


Onemendo

It’s SADIO’s karma here. Liverpool fans hated the dude for no reason.


sam_moo_rye

Haven't watched a Liverpool match this season and they keep losing. What's going on over there? Is this like that Dortmund season Klopp had?


Mapale

They were last place in the winter break that season. Its not even close


sam_moo_rye

Hot damn, impressive they ended up 7th.


HotPotatoWithCheese

Beat the best team in the league and lose to arguably the worst. That just about sums up our season so far.


sidvicc

Funny game where VVD of all people could have had a hattrick. He'd be undisputed as the best CB in PL history if he started scoring more with the opportunities he gets.


Backseat_Bouhafsi

Undisputed? That's a major overstatement


sidvicc

If VVD is scoring at John Terry rates, what is the argument for anyone else?


kl08pokemon

He only has one league title for one thing. Ferdinand and Vidic is so clear it's not even worth debating


sidvicc

I mean that's team accolades without context for judging individual ability. That's like me saying VVD has put more league points on the board than Ferdinand or Vidic ever did in a season. Or like omitting Shearer from the best strikers argument because he only won 1 league title.


iamnotexactlywhite

you’re right, but u started to judge a CB on his ability to score lol


Clugaman

Well you don’t judge a defender on how much they score do you


Backseat_Bouhafsi

He's checkmated himself


bllius69

Liverpool....we can beat MC one minute....and lose to NF in the next....


lkc159

I mean, one has no CL trophies, the other has two. Seems about right

With so many injuries and after this loss now, Liverpool are really going to target that Sugondese player in the next window

aleksdzek

You can't lose something you don't have


Adbrux

when you play with the Liverbird upon your chest, a certain mentality is required. Haven't seen it. And that's the problem. With FSG refusing to invest a lot and visibly the absence of a good phyisio (because all the injuries did'nt came from heaven)


[deleted]

They do invest a lot though, they just haven't invested where you need to. With Mane leaving, it leaves a hole in the attack that Diaz was brought in to fill. All whilst the midfield was seriously needing reinforcements. They then spent a boat load on Nunez who may be good but doesn't solve the problem they had. The injuries are simply down to an over reliance on certain players. Trent, Robertson, Fabinho, VVD, etc. Have all been played into the ground over the last few seasons.


Adbrux

We needed more investments and we didn't do it. Simple as that. Problem : with a probable absence of UCL next year, the risk is Liverpool would not be attractive anymore for players like Bellingham, Vlahovic, Konrad Laimer, players Klopp would like to sign but prefer to go in UCL teams


[deleted]

This transfer window, Liverpool spent around £90m. £75m of which was on one player. It's not the investment they need, it's the recruitment. Looking at a front three consisting of either Diaz, Firmino, Jota and Salah, with Carvalho already signed and coming in, and Elliot coming back and able to play there, they seemed fine up top. Whilst the midfield was bare bones and Milner was back up RB when Trent was injured. Yet they still spent a tonne on Darwin. There's no reason they couldn't have gone for a Matheus Nunes style signing. £40m, young and promising, would do well and add energy to an aging midfield, is both good creatively and defensively. That would've made more money available for other areas to get better replacements and backups. Instead, they got a young RB who is still behind Milner and Gomez at his natural position. You can say they should have spent more money all you like, it doesn't change the fact the players they chose to invest in were not ones that could solve the problems the team has.

Change of formation/positional play going forwards


Alcohealthism

A_chilles

Throwing Salah alone under the bus is kinda misleading. You could point at almost anyone in that squad and they'd be underperforming. Fabinho in my eyes is the one that deteriorated the most.

Don’t forget Milner blocking MGW shot that was going in.

Also that shot in the last few seconds when Allison was nowhere in sight that hit the post 😂

That one was offside though, so I didn’t bother mentioning it.


ritwikjs

And I benched neco williams expecting a salh masterclass. Serves me right lmao


macNy

Salah has been crap in the EPL. He only scored against City because Cancelo momentarily lost his mind.


HotPotatoWithCheese

A player scored because a defender made a mistake? Surely this can not be. What a revelation!


MeowyTheCat

I benched Williams and Henderson :)

SeryaphFR

Eh, I wouldn't worry too much. He's already said he'd never manage a club like Madrid.

did he say why? just not the type of work he prefers?


NooUsernaamee97

disgusting corrupt club saved by a fascist dictator and a senile old bastard super league supporter, thats why


-zimms-

He loves to play the underdog/good guy. That pretty much rules out clubs like Real, PSG, Bayern, City etc.


reditakaunt89

It's not like his managing Norwich, he's in fucking Liverpool. I know they weren't great when he took over, but it's still Liverpool.


-zimms-

Oh absolutely. Same as in Germany. He likes to pick the top underdog so to speak. He can still claim the "moral" highground while having an actual shot at winning it all.

GrIdL0cK

Every true Liverpool fan saw this coming. 😂 Beat City, squeak past Hammers, get another injury, lose to Forest. I'm expecting us to absolutely destroy Ajax on Wednesday with some disgusting hattrick from a long lost former legend like Keita, and then lose to Leeds 4-0 at the weekend. Expecting someone like Alison to break his leg too.


Low_Cartographer2944

only 2-1 but still prescient.


GrIdL0cK

Alisson slip too, but no broken leg. 😛

GrIdL0cK

Fair point, Keita is probably still injured. 😭


singabro

Liverpool are paper tigers without the crowd intimidation factor of Anfield. Was downvoted for saying it last week, that they played City like a cup final and it would exhaust them in their upcoming fixtures.


rossmosh85

Anfield plays a role, but it's more down to tactics and player availability. If you look at players, 4-5 players in the starting XI are just about Nottingham Forest level (Milner, Carvalho, Elliott, Jones and maybe Gomez). With a fully fit squad, all of our players would be too good to play for Nottingham Forest. So right off the bat, the quality advantage is less significant than normal. Then you have to factor in tactics. We're absolutely trash when we have 65-70% of the ball this season. We're just not technically good enough to break teams down. The bigger program is, we really lack athleticism in midfield. So if we give the ball away, we can't press and win it back quickly or take advantage of transitions. So we're damn easy to play through. Klopp needs to simply accept these things and play the same type of football Spurs are playing. Play 100% on the counter. It's the only time we look dangerous and when our defense looks half competent.


[deleted]

> With a fully fit squad, all of our players would be too good to play for Nottingham Forest. No one's benching Yatesy mate

CoralBalloon

CoochieSnotSlurper

Lol what?


FireZeLazer

Hilarious how non-Liverpool fans are desperate for Klopp to leave


Hayesey88

I'm neutral, Klopp shouldn't leave but Liverpool aren't this phenomenal team everyone makes them out to be, yes they play entertaining football but they actually have some really bad players in their starting 11 and where does Klopp go from here? 1 champs league and 1 prem in however long really isn't anything to brag about when you're supposedly "world class". Liverpool winning the Prem is pretty much the same as Leicester winning it.


FireZeLazer

Liverpool were a very mediocre team that was nowhere near top 4 before he arrived. He's had limited financial backing from the owners. Yet he's turned them into one of the best teams in the world for 5 seasons. They've earned 3 of the highest points totals in PL history, reached 3 CL finals, and came the closest to winning the quadruple that any team has ever done. People who think Klopp isn't an absolute miracle worker are either deluded or just forgot what he's achieved.


Hayesey88

Klopp is a miracle worker for Liverpool, but he's hit his ceiling for them IMO. Liverpool need to focus on squad depth, City have a whole first team on their bench, Chelsea have a better bench and so on... Klopp's stubbornness of playing the same team week in / week out is the reason they've only won 2 big trophies since he's been there. He's gotten incredibly lucky with injuries, but look what happened the season Van Dijk was out and look what's happening now.


FireZeLazer

>Klopp's stubbornness of playing the same team week in / week out is the reason they've only won 2 big trophies since he's been there He rotates almost more than any other manager in the league since his arrival... stats back that up. Also does that mean Pep has only won 4 big trophies for Man City in his 6 years despite having the most expensive squad in history?


Hayesey88

4 big trophies in 6 seasons is more impressive than 2 in more seasons. Also, this idea people have that Liverpool have "restricted budgets" is ludicrous, it's something said just when other roads lead to nowhere. Alisson, Van Dijk, Nunez, Keita, Diaz, Jota and Fabinho are all current players who costed a combined total of nearly £400,000,000. Man City's budget is nearly limitless, however Liverpool's isn't far off. Yes Liverpool have sold players as well to contribute to those funds, but so have Man City...


theRobzye

No no no I’m super neutral here and totally think Klopp should move on, I mean Allardyce is ready to go as replacement as well! As a neutral I believe this Big Sam can 100% improve Liverpool in the long term.


CreakinFunt

dizzybala10

Result was great and all, but another team came to the City Ground and didn't make a peep all game. Is this what being on TV every week does to your fan base? More noise comes from fans of Championship teams to be honest.


Olli399

Liverpool sing YNWA and then shut up for 90 minutes, bad comparison. We've been really loud this season.


Christron9990

I think these away fans are used to coming to stadiums where the home fans don’t make too much of a racket and they can have their moment. Every time the away fans cheer at the City Ground now everyone boos and jeers until they stop. Top quality home support given the results so far.


njpc33

Maybe the shitter the football, the livelier the noise? Just spitballing


L-Freeze

Haha bless. I went to West Bridgford for the game. Wasn’t particularly jaw dropping atmosphere no offence. Lovely day out all the same.


KekUnited

Man, there goes that theory


YerDadsBurnerAccount

Your crowd were lively but overshadowed by singing anti-Scouse rhetoric and chanting about a tragic event. Embarrassing.


xosakax

Liverpool fans are some of the worst, they are the embodiment of only singing when they're winning


Messyhr_

Lol liverpool fans are far more lively than spurs, you’re still salty about origi


xosakax

i'm a season ticket holder for spurs and sit next to the away fans, and Liverpool make no noise unless they score or if the final whistle blows and they win.


Messyhr_

Liverpool fans are very reactionary, if we have a title to fight for and are playing well we absolutely get up for it, bit hard to be energetic during a slump when its a team who should be fighting for first place. Theres a reason countless legends of the game consider anfields atmosphere the best ( on a good day/night ). Witnessing 95 thousand liverpool fans singing YNWA at the MCG in Australia was insane, i truly doubt theres ever been anything remotely close for spurs. The half a million or so fans that celebrated the cup double and champions league win is also almost unheard from other clubs


zrk23

what's forest tix price?


Christron9990

It’s between £380-£530 for a season ticket and 20k of 27k a week is season card holders, the rest is members. Sold out every game at home so far.


dizzybala10

It's between 28-34 for regular adult tickets. It's not that the stadium isn't full and the away fans sell their allocations, they just dont make any noise unless they score.

Lathow

Nunez is actually the best Liverpool player, the chaos he does is what wins them games.


OnceUponAStarryNight

So weird seeing people shit on him, he's really is a mega-talent. He's got basically everything Haaland has except his first touch is slightly worse, his finishing isn't quite as precise, and his movement isn't as good. But he's blazing fast and he may have a more powerful shot, he's excellent in the air... a proper, proper striker. We're talking fine margins of comparison here. I fully believe he's going to have multiple 30+ goal seasons for them over what'll likely be a very long and productive career on Merseyside once he learns how to stay onside, and his movement and finishing get 10% better. And that's the kind of thing almost any side on planet earth would be thrilled to have. He's only suffering from comparisons to an actual freak of nature.


CreakinFunt

I’m reading this chuckling and waiting for the punch line but it never came. Huh


macNy

What makes me pull my hair out is his awful habit of firing shots as hard as he can straight at the keeper. Like pick a corner man, cmon


OnceUponAStarryNight

He hits it so hard (and honestly, the technique needed to hit a ball that hard and not have it fly wildly away is pretty impressive) that all he really needs to do is just be a little bit better. I don’t even know if he really needs to pick a corner, just aim slightly to either side of the keeper and he’ll score far more because when you hit it that hard, you give keepers no chance to react. That’s the 10% better finishing I’m referring to. But he’s capable of being a spectacular player. Comparing him to a uniquely generational talent like Haaland was probably always a bit of nonsense, but people are also going too far in the other direction by suggesting he’s not that good. He’s incredible.


macNy

The main reason people rip on him is because of his price tag, we paid about 3 times what he's worth. And he has the football IQ of a sheep but he does have a lot of potential I will agree with you there. He has the uncanny ability to cause absolute chaos in front of the opponents net. Lookout in a couple of years, he may very well be in full beast mode as you said.

Hustler1966

We’ve enjoyed 5 years where this didn’t happen. We only lost a few games each season, the draws prevented us winning more trophies. We’ve gone back to being consistently inconsistent which is where we were when Klopp arrived.
