Eds is it me or things are starting to get quite sad, at the beginning of the season, we had hope of at least lifting a piece of silverware. Now half way through the season, we lost a very important player (who was becoming toxic), out of 2 domestic cups and now because we lost 2 games, the fans are turning against each other and the team. We all want to see the club succeed but such is life at the moment and I'll say it again we've got to get behind the team, it might be a hard fought second part of the season, but if we do make it, the taste of the success will be ever so sweet, especially if we know we've played a part in helping the team.
I can't imagine how hard it has been for you eds to deal with everything coming your way for the past week. Everyday you read something about LFC is something negative, the club, the gaffer, the players and fans don't deserve that.
I can't wait for this transfer window to be over so we can get back to doing what we do best, being Liverpool FC and play a beautiful football.
YNWA.

It comes down to this. Fans think LFC deserve to win silverware. Fact is this club has to earn that right irrespective of who plays for the club or who manages the club.

Until the club has earned it then there will be no silverware. At least the club is starting to get back into the swing of things in Top 4 and Europe.

Sometimes baby steps are required. At this point we need to get behind the club. We are still well in it to finishing top 4 and still going strong in the CL.

We need to start somewhere and establishing ourselves in the top 4 again is starting somewhere when UTD have been dominating for years followed by Chelsea and now City.

Liverpool have been on a downward spiral for a very long time now but it we seem to be climbing the mountain slightly easier nowadays.

We all want the same thing which is success. We need to earn it, it is not going to be given to us.

Next match day sing that song loud and with pride to try figure out why we support this club through thick and thin.

It's just what happens every season really with us, fluctuations in both form for the team and expectations and frustrations for the fans - it's just a normal season as a Liverpool supporter right now.

We'll win three or four in a row soon and everyone will say we're the greatest thing going again - it'll be fine.

Well said Max, there's a lot more to this club than winning titles - people just need to see it or support another club!

We don’t have the right to silverware, that’s obvious.

However, selling your best player and not using the funds and taking the opportunity in the transfer window to put right the significant shortfalls in what is the weakest squad in the top six is ridiculously short sighted. Particularly in light of some of the results and performances we’ve seen.

As things stand our season is on the verge of fizzling out very quickly, a few more bad results in the league will see us out of the race for fourth place and as much as I’d like us to win the champions league, as things stand we’d be battered by some of the better sides as we’re so weak in midfield, defence and in goal.

We can’t simply keep hoping that Firmino, Mane and Salah keep outscoring the opposition as that has failed 11 times in the league and didn’t work out against West Brom on Saturday.

If you’re really happy with what you saw against Swansea and West Brom then good luck to you, because I wasn’t. Just remember, not one of our midfielders would be a starter at any of the other top six clubs and none of our keepers would even make their benches.

So buying VVD and paying well over the odds because of the antics regarding VVD before Coutinho leaving is seeing the club keeping money back?

Mr Dennis, you need to understand how transfers work. Just because Coutinho is the 2nd most expensive player ever does not mean LFC are sitting with all that cash in the bank.

Just because the papers were reporting that a deal for lemar was imminent did not make it true either. Just because some wanted us to sign Insigne does not mean the club was going to do that.

What a mess this club would be if some of the fans on here became manager of LFC. Ha ha. Ed002 would have a field day :-)

You're blinkered in my opinion by your own personal negativity I'm afraid Mr. Dennis - you haven't stopped moaning since the summer mate.

Are you forgetting how bad Arsenal have been, about 7 or 8 of our starters would get into their team, ask the Gunners' fans themselves?!

Even Cech has been poor for them on a number of occasions recently, there's something fundamentally wrong at that club right now - maybe the new signings will help them, but if not, they're in serious trouble.

Spurs are hardly having a great season yet either are they?!
We're above them if I'm not mistaken.

Chelsea are apparently in crisis, yet lie 3rd and are only ONE WIN ahead of us.

Take off the negativity blinkers and open your eyes mate, if you're not sitting pretty at the top of the league and all your players playing perfect 10's, you're having a bad season is it?!

City (the giants of football that they are) lost to us recently, we dominated them for long periods of the match - their first league loss of the season and some of their fans were beginning to question their players, tactics and so on, it was unbelievable.

There will always be ups and downs at every football club, it's unavoidable!

Get used to it or get into another sport - maybe not a sport where another team or teams have the cheek to beat you from time to time or you have to work for and earn your titles, including the fans (who may I add were muted on Saturday evening again right from the start) - my god that would be awful wouldn't it?!

That is why fan ownership will be the slow death and eventually the end of this club.

Anfield may as well be demoilshed in place for a Mcdonalds if that is the case and that way everyone can be happy with buying a super size me happy meal.

Big smiles all around and thankfully fan ownership at Liverpool will unlikely ever come to fore :-)

Mr Dennis what do you hope to gain just writing and writing how terrible we are? I agree with many issues but enough is enough. There is a time to call for change and tell some players some home truths but there are also times when you have to support.

NOW is the time to support. We are under pressure and have a massive game tomorrow night. We will win tomorrow the mood will change a little and we will go after Spurs at the weekend. This week the team needs support so leave the negative stuff until after Spurs.

Spot on, Max. Dennis, I think you are missing the point here. No one is and has ever been satisfied with us not winning silverware. Do not mistake measured comments, laced with reality, perspective and level-headedness as acceptance of mediocrity. That is the mistake many fans often make. You or I moaning and panicking after each defeat (5 in all comps this season, a complete disaster, lol) will not make the team play better. It never has and it never will.

You have to accept the season for what it is right now and NO, our season is not on the verge of fizzling out at all IMO. We have a chance to make hay vs Hudd and Spurs so it is in our hands. We have worked too hard as a club to get back into contention after the Spurs debacle, to allow panic to set in or are you going to say you thought we would go 18 unbeaten and put 4 past City after that Spurs game? I doubt it, my friend. We have to make tjhe most of every opportunity to win that we get and fight for what we want. Cos you want something does not mean your opponent will give it to you if you ask nicely. You got to go get it, end of.

Regardless of what is happening good or bad, it is essential to keep a level head and remain grounded cos this is football where games are won, drawn and lost. It is up to the team to manage these situations, cut the bad results to a minimum and to us fans, to believe in the team even in the midst of a couple of bad results. If you give up now then might as well stop watching us play. Had those fans given up in Istanbul the way many on here are being so fatalist, you think Istanbul or Dortmund happens? Keep the faith, man!
