Klopp has allowed the poor form to happen. He is the manager, he takes the stick. We have been poor for a few weeks. Nothing has been done about it. Why?
I got hammered the other week after the man utd cup game when i posted i hope klopp has them in the next morning for shooting and finishing practice as they missed so many chances and since then we have been just the same very poor finishing.
I also said Trent is never a full back while he has a hole in his hoop the second goals was very much like Madrid's winner in the Champions League where Trent never attacked the ball. I am convinced Bradley is a far better full back than Trent will ever be. As for the three forwards, Diaz tried the other two Mo and Nunez should never have been on the pitch.
i don't care how many goals Mo has scored, you don't put on the red shirt of Liverpool and go through the motions. We can see this so why can't klopp? I would rather throw Danns on even though he is a kid. He would put more effort into the game. This is not after the fact this is what i have posted over the season.

By saying Klopp has allowed our poor form to happen, do you think he could have prevented it and didn't?
If so, why would he do that?
2.) 25 Apr 2024 19:46:03
Rigsby
I reckon he should have played the kids more often
Our poor performances have built since senior players returned
Which is why I think they have tapped out of listening to Klopp.
3.) 25 Apr 2024 20:51:18
In fairness he’s looked at the business end of the season and gone with experience, I think a combination of poor tactics and players letting the club down are the issue. Consecutive stupid mistakes almost every game, sloppiness, no one taking responsibility, lack of quality in depth in key positions and players who are at the end of their careers in very visible decline. A toxic mixture to have at the end of the season.
4.) 25 Apr 2024 21:00:37
Apart from Quansah / Bradley the kids haven’t really played much premier league football this season.
Even in the 3 cups the kids were accompanied with quite a few senior players for the majority of games.
5.) 25 Apr 2024 20:03:59
Paisley79 respectfully, nonoe of us were advocating for playing the kids a the time when we emerged as title contenders so let's not start with the hindsight stuff. If anything, we were all looking forward to the senior players comong back to give the squad the bodies it needed and give us a boost. Alas, it did not happen and we got worse. If many were and he wasn't then, fair. Nobody did that so let's leave the past where it is.
As for Klopp "allowing it to happen", that would mean he knew better and chose to do nothing which I don't believe for a second. Now do I believe that he has either not recognised our issues which have existed from jump? Absolutely and that's on him. Now these issues have come back to bite and and we can't get out of the rutt we are in. It's that simple, IMO.
6.) 25 Apr 2024 20:31:16
We'll never know what the kids would have done. Klopp works with them everyday and will have a better idea than us about them.
It's a cliché often rolled out when things are not going well: play the kids. Klopp and the players deserve criticism but it's hard to criticise someone that isn't playing.
Does anyone really think that Danns, McConnell and Clarke would win us the League? It's a genuine question because I know very little about them. Please don't use 'they couldn't have done worse' because they could when we are second in the League.
7.) 25 Apr 2024 20:35:55
I seen mo huffing at his team mates last night because when the pass was on or he running to make space they wasn’t picking him out I’ve seen Nunez over the last few weeks do the same make runs and by the time someone does pass it forward he would be offside. To slow.
8.) 25 Apr 2024 21:30:33
I do think the players who played v fulham deserved to start. They showed a lot of bite that the current starting lot (who were benched Sunday) hadn’t shown the last few games.
9.) 25 Apr 2024 21:42:33
Whomever he picked, the result determines the reaction.
If he’d gone with kids and we’d lost, there would be hell to pay. If we lose, he gets pelters either way.
His subs though, well that’s another matter.
10.) 25 Apr 2024 22:04:05
I’m trying to imagine the world you’re describing. I guess it looks like Klopp sitting in a dark closet the morning after the manU game and doing nothing. Which is obviously bollocks, like your premise
You are confusing outcome with performance and effort. It’s ok, it’s a classic mistake that people make. The worse thing is to allow that confusion to get conflated by your own speculation and then pass it off as fact. That’s when we start to worry that there won’t be enough tinfoil for the rest of us.
11.) 25 Apr 2024 22:35:23
We can’t handle a run in. The only way we win the league is by winning almost every game from the beginning until it’s almost impossible for anyone to catch us.
12.) 25 Apr 2024 22:49:21
Exactly, Faith. More hindsight "genius after the fact" stuff, IMO.
13.) 25 Apr 2024 23:58:19
Look, anyone saying we’ve ’checked out’ or are not trying is completely wrong in my view.
Anyone saying Klopp allowed it to happen just has no idea about anything.
Klopp has sent a team out for each game that is good enough to win the game. I think we can all agree on that given the season we’ve had.
The players have just frozen under the pressure of a quad challenge and that has now taken over the entire squad it would seem. You can see the exasperated look on his face as he watches the game, they are obviously not doing what he’s asked them to do.
I do agree that he’s the gaffer so he has to take responsibility if the players aren’t mentally right but to say he allowed it to happen is just silly. We are not the first team that’s choked under the pressure of trying to win major trophies and we won’t be the last.
It really doesn’t have to be any more complicated than that.
14.) 26 Apr 2024 07:13:47
LiverpoolFC8, isn't this the first run in that you could say we haven't handled a run in under Klopp?
The other two seasons when we were contenders we missed out by one point and City had to post ridiculous points totals to win it.
How did we not handle it?
15.) 26 Apr 2024 09:11:20
@OP. Your first sentence is ridiculous. I’m not sure about the rest as I stopped reading after the first sentence. How did Klopp”let” the poor form happen?
22 Apr 2024 18:25:37
In defence of Nunez, the team have been taking one too many touches of the ball. Nunez is on his way and is caught offside because one pass or one touch too many has put him in the position of being offside. We do not play the lad correctly, we do not use his pace to his advantage.
1.) 22 Apr 2024 18:52:59
Remember the roy Keane quote about haalands all round game being that of a league 2 players? It's like Nunez is the opposite.
He's strong, fast, can dribble well and has bags of strength and stamina but his shooting and general play in the final third is worse than league 2 standard.
You should at least be hitting the target or making a pass as a principal and I don't think mentally you can teach composure you either have it or you don't.
Not knocking the guy he works tremendously hard and is a loveable bloke but if we want to be winning premier leagues and big cups he can't be relied on.
2.) 22 Apr 2024 19:30:20
Three paragraphs criticizing Nunez then saying not knocking the guy, brilliant ?.
3.) 22 Apr 2024 19:19:41
I like Nunez but he’s more bullet proof than a Kevlar vest.
Yes not every time he’s offside might not be his fault but he has to take some accountability as well.
Yesterday one of his offsides was from Sakah’s first time touch pass so you can’t get any quicker ball release than that.
The other forwards manage to time their runs regardless of how quick we’re playing it.
Nunez has been offside 41 times this season with the next highest being Salah at 18 and Diaz at 17.
4.) 22 Apr 2024 19:43:00
Salah not Sakah. Bloody phone.
5.) 22 Apr 2024 20:16:03
I think you’ll find JK that Nunez had made the run to take the pass before the ball went to Salah. The fact that the ball went via Salah and not directly through to Nunez meant he’d run offside.
I think in general we’ve started to take too many touches as if no one wants to take risks with the ball. It normally means that everything closes up in front of the player with the ball and he has to go sideways or backwards to keep possession.
If we started popping it around at pace then Nunez wouldn’t be offside half as much. He’ll always get caught offside occasionally because he likes to run in behind but we need to be much quicker in all aspects of our play to get the best out of him.
6.) 22 Apr 2024 20:38:51
Well I’m glad that’s been cleared up. 41 times it’s been the passers fault.
I’m probably going to stop going to live matches now and wait to be told with “I think you’ll find” on here to bring me fully up to speed.
7.) 22 Apr 2024 20:44:52
Sometimes it might be too many passes. Sometimes it's because his timing is off. Sometimes it's because he's looking right across the line but still runs offside despite being faster than 99% of defenders. I remember people saying he was very raw when he came. He's still v raw now unfortunately. Its frustrating because when he came on against Newcastle and scored those 2 clinical goals I thought yes here we go. But it hasn't really happened unfortunately. I love his enthusiasm, his fight and how unpredictable he is but he needs to score more for the amount of good chances he gets it's as simple as that.
8.) 22 Apr 2024 20:45:38
I agree, our all round play is slow, way too slow. Too much sideways and backwards, it’s painful to watch sometimes and so boring.
It is something that has been going on all season but we are now at the business end of the season and don’t seem to be able to shift up two gears when needed.
Luckily Fulham were on their holidays yesterday. Everton will be a cauldron and I hope we’re ready.
9.) 22 Apr 2024 21:44:01
All great forwards go through periods of gobbling up lots of chances. Difference with Nunez is it is not the exception, but the rule. Even when the likes of Haaland, Salah, or prime Mane have missed chances, you can usually see what they were trying to do. Nunez doesn't have a clue.
You can argue that this doesn't matter due to the net benefit he brings to the team, but we are starting to see there is only so far you can persist with that type of player. For all that he brings to our play, his incompetence in front of goal is mentally damaging to our own players and lifts the oppositions. It has now become 'a thing'. Nunez begins to miss one or two sitters and everybody's heads go, players and fans alike.
I don't think that is something that everyone else needs to change, it is on him to stop burning everybody's heads out. I feel that he gives encouragement to the opposition and has become detrimental to the confidence and momentum of our team. He makes it almost impossible to control football matches and I think the very least that he needs is a spell coming off the bench. In the longer term, I am not sure he can be relied upon to lead the line for a top side.
Almost two years here and he hasn't had one single commanding, dominant performance where everything goes well for him. Just splitters and false starts, a late goal here, an assist there. For as much as he puts himself about, I just don't feel it is enough.
10.) 22 Apr 2024 22:00:28
Hit a nerve JK?
I think you’ll find that I did say he will get caught offside anyway because he likes to run in behind. Any player that plays on the shoulder of the last defender is bound to be caught offside more than a player who comes deep. It’s logical.
We do pass the ball slowly, anyone with any sense can see that. That doesn’t mean and nor did I suggest that it’s the passers fault every time.
Why can’t it just be a bit of both rather than just hammering the lad every time he gets caught offside? In the instance you mentioned there was a straight pass on to Nunez so he makes the run but the ball is played to Salah first who then plays it first time but by this time he’s run offside. I was just correcting your obvious misjudgement of the situation.
He’s not perfect by any stretch but there are way too many fans these days that choose to focus on any negative aspect of a player rather than looking at his positive attributes. It’s the world we live in unfortunately.
11.) 22 Apr 2024 22:48:09
Not at all.
I’ve hardly hammered him. I regularly praise the lad as well as the rest of the players.
You always seem to be correcting people on here.
“I was just correcting your obvious misjudgement of the situation” I doubt you could get any more condescending if you tried.
12.) 23 Apr 2024 00:33:26
Just being honest about his game but the Nunez fan club seems any criticism of his game a vendetta. Nunez is fine if we want to compete with spurs and co for top four to win the league we need better.
13.) 23 Apr 2024 03:19:58
I think if we are being honest with ourselves then we can admit that Nunez is a very good player, but he isn’t a world class player and will likely never be. He isn’t composed enough, nor deadly enough, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be an effective player for us - simply means we need to play a system and players that spreads the goals around (which we do to be fair) .
14.) 23 Apr 2024 08:31:50
Amorin, no one is saying Nunez is above criticism but you're comparing your analysis of him to Keane's daft analysis of Haaland ?.
Keane gets very emotional sometimes. That is part of his appeal but it also means he comes out with stuff like he did about Haaland and like he did about de Gea and Maguire when United got beat against Spurs, I think.
22 Apr 2024 08:08:46
Cody Gapko showed his best form of all the time yesterday. He has been at the club playing in the position, that is where he should be playing. Diaz is able to move in the middle at will and not stuck out wide. Jotta is the predator.
1.) 22 Apr 2024 10:25:46
I think Gakpo has looked a lot better the last few games. Seems quite confident on the ball and is taking players on.
Diaz ability to run with the ball and take players on is brilliant its just I'd love to see more end product.
Jota looked like a player returning from injury yesterday who hasn't played a lot of football and was quite sloppy but took his goal well.
Salah and Nunez seem to both be struggling with how we know they can play. I'm hoping both will ride the storm out and finish the season strong.
2.) 22 Apr 2024 10:27:34
I thought gakpo has been doing decent of late. in a lot of poor team performances and poor individual performances i thought he not bad.
I quite like him as a player anyway and I thought he should've been starting more often recently.
3.) 22 Apr 2024 10:47:37
Seems rare for Salah, Nunez, Gakpo, Diaz, Jota to be all playing well at the same time. Its Salah and Nunez’s turn to be misfiring right now while Gakpo is back.
If all 5 could find form we would be unstoppable.
4.) 22 Apr 2024 12:48:48
Gakpo plays his best football on the left of a 3. However still has to offer much more.
5.) 22 Apr 2024 13:56:40
Gakpo played really well yesterday, but Diaz is totally wasted on the right, didn't think he had a good game at all. If Salah can find form for the rest of the season, i'd be tempted to have Gakpo, Jota and Salah up front, Diaz and Nunez coming off the bench to stretch tired defences.
6.) 22 Apr 2024 16:52:01
Gakpo is a true baller and I've been saying it. Forget the nos. and all that and just watch him play. His spead of thought, touch, turn and physicality and pace with the ball at his feet are phenomenal. He is young and will struggle for form BUT he abilities are not in doubt, IMO.
Also, him playing in the actual position he knows how to play and thrived in from his PSV years also helps a lot. What we also found out yesterday was Diaz can play on either side as well as he was very good on the right, as well. Really happy for Cody cos he is such a good guy off the pitch.
7.) 22 Apr 2024 16:49:20
Said it on a different post but our attack is so much better without Nunez and arguably Salah. Every shot was on target which is a basic premier league requirement, Nunez comes on rush of blood to the head, spoons it wide and gets caught offside. He needs to go.
8.) 22 Apr 2024 16:59:41
I personally think Gakpo has been putting more effort in which everyone seems to appreciate. I still don't think he's very good, his final ball, shot is still pretty awful. How many shots does he take from positions where he should pass, and usually he scuffs the shot.
He's definitely looking better on the ball, but yeah I'm still not hugely sold on him.
{Ed025's Note - i think hes awful as well Dean..
9.) 22 Apr 2024 18:30:14
Gakpo's 25 in a few weeks; I don't consider that young. The jury's still out for me, along with Nunez.
10.) 22 Apr 2024 18:49:22
But he's been played out of position ed he's a left winger.
{Ed025's Note - i just dont think he gets involved enough Amorin, he flits in and out of games for me and looks like a bit of a klutz at times, a decent enough squad player i suppose but never a starter for me mate, just my opinion of course..
11.) 23 Apr 2024 06:53:46
Definitely worth keeping as a squad player. Infinitely better than the players we used to have coming off the bench. I think he’s scored more goals than Everton’s whole front line, not bad for your 5th choice forward ??.
{Ed001's Note - to be fair that is not a high bar. I do agree with you, Gakpo is defo worth keeping, he can push for a first team place at the very worst, which is what you want. Added to his ability to play multiple positions, it would be crazy to let him go. There are so many other players that should be in far more danger for their Liverpool futures than him right now.}
22 Apr 2024 07:59:18
Why would we want Arne Slot as manager? Look at Man Utd and their dutch manager who won titles and cups at Ajax, but is poor in the Premier League. Don't touch him please LFC.
1.) 22 Apr 2024 08:32:08
Who said we want Arne to Slot in at LFC, exactly?
2.) 22 Apr 2024 08:43:16
Just because they are both from the Dutch league doesn't mean they woulld be the same.
3.) 22 Apr 2024 08:54:25
Van Dijk is Dutch.
4.) 22 Apr 2024 09:18:03
Just because ten Hag is a failure doesn’t mean every Dutch manager is the same, slightly xenophobic outlook there. He’s a far better option than the likes of Tuchel, Nagelsmann, Postecoglu, Frank, Zidane and washed up has beens like Mourinho. I’d assume he’d be an option as an alternative to Amorim.
5.) 22 Apr 2024 09:22:30
I've not seen Slot mentioned anywhere online except for here by ed2.
6.) 22 Apr 2024 09:57:58
I’ve seen him mentioned in relation to us, Faith. I’d recommend looking him up. He seems like a coach with good ideas, he comes across really well and is a good communicator, I’d also say that whereas ten Hag is a complete personality vacuum, Slot is the opposite, he comes across as good humoured, charismatic and not afraid to say what he thinks (speaks perfect English too btw), Ed002 says he’s highly rated and we’d do well to consider him. If Alonso and Amorim aren’t possible then Slot has to be considered as beyond him there’s no one else.
7.) 22 Apr 2024 10:06:28
Its safe to say that whoever comes in after Klopp is going to be a gamble and have big shoes to fill.
I'd imagine anyone in any career who has been extremely successful in a position for 9 years is going to be hard to replace.
Whether we get a league winning manager from Holland or Portugal i think it would be a similar risk. There's even managers out there who have won leagues in Spain we probably wouldn't want.
Whoever comes in will need time and patience. Not sure Salah and VVD have that on their sides mind as players where the rest of the squad do.
As much as i hope we will hit the ground running and be challenging for titles next season it will still be a tough task.
8.) 22 Apr 2024 10:29:08
What I would say is Arne Slot is a decade younger than EtH and did it at a team where winning is actually impressive. EtH winning with Ajax at the time when they had the strongest squad by a country mile is akin to Gerrard and Rodgers winning in Scotland. It means nothing. Slot winning with Feynoord is mightily impressive and he also was joint top with AZ Alkmaar the year the league was abandoned because of C.V. with less than 10 games to play. His record and achievements are every bit as impressive as Ruben Amorim, in terms of getting a team competing above their expectations.
In my opinion, the level of the best teams in a league isn’t really relevant with regards to managers as it’s all relative anyway. What’s more relevant is how competitive the league is, and if they got a team not expected to succeed, actually succeeding. Slot and Amorim both have done that. Alonso has done that at Leverkusen. Hell, even De Zerbi has arguably over achieved (to a lesser extent) by getting Brighton into Europe. What did EtH achieve that a dozen managers hadn’t done before him at Ajax in the last 20-30 years? The answer is nothing and that is why he was a mistake. Not because he’s Dutch.
9.) 22 Apr 2024 10:33:02
Agree JK, Klopp leaves a huge void, whoever comes in doesn’t have an easy job and it is a gamble, but at the same time it should be a calculated gamble looking at the variables, has the candidate experience of taking a team to a title and building a title winning side, what is the style of play and is it compatible with the ethos of the club, do they have the charisma and confidence to lead the club and the players and build a relationship with the fans, how did they do in their most recent post? We certainly don’t want someone who is just about getting by in mid table (Frank/ De Zerbi), or a manager who’s been sacked for failure in their last managerial post (Kovac, Tuchel, Potter) or someone who has absolutely zero compatibility with the club (all of the above, plus Zidane, Mourinho and Postecoglu) .
Can’t see past Alonso, Amorim or Slot to be honest. And Alonso is a straight no, Amorim is beginning to look like a no, so we’re left with Slot.
10.) 22 Apr 2024 11:09:17
Why list people who don’t want the job?
11.) 22 Apr 2024 11:31:15
They’re the ones we’re linked with WDW (randomly, Mourinho is suddenly being linked just because he was in attendance at the Fulham game) . I’ve said that Alonso is a non starter (he has literally said no he’s not interested), and Amorim is now seemingly a likely non starter, so of those managers linked to us, Slot is the best option of managers likely to be on the move this summer.
12.) 22 Apr 2024 11:45:55
VV - not making an opinion on Slot either way, was just meaning that I haven't really seen his name mentioned alongside others in press. Only place I'd seen him mentioned was in a couple of ed2 replies.
MK makes a good point about the strength of a league being a small factor. Like if a manager took the bottom placed team of any league and won it the next year or two, that would be impressive in any league. does that mean they can step in and replace Klopp? No, not on that alone as the job is more than just coaching the team.
Anyways, I've not been following the news really about the manager hunt, perhaps that's why I haven't seen Slot's name mentioned lol. Why is Amorim turning into a no?
13.) 22 Apr 2024 12:00:50
VV, Mou was at the Fulham game cos I think his son was or still is in their youth system, if Im not mistaken.
{Ed002's Note - That is not the reason he was there.}

Didn't Steve mclaren win the league with az when he was speaking del trotter-esq Dutch in his interview?

15.) 22 Apr 2024 14:34:21
It was Twente, gmil, but yeah he did win it. McClaren was a good coach/ manager from 2000-2010. Did a good job working under Fergie at United, did a very good job at Middlesbrough to earn him the England gig, then came back to club football and did a great job at Twente winning the first league title in their history. That decade, the only blot on his copybook was the England job which everyone seemed to fail at in his defence. I think the game moved past him after his first stint at Twente though and now he's just scratching around under EtH building up his retirement fund to be honest. Hard to know why he completely lost his edge. Maybe the horrors of the England job weighed heavy on him. The Dutch accent though is legendary. What was he thinking there?!

23.) 22 Apr 2024 20:39:44
@TIR, that’s true. I had somebody on here telling me everybody knew Amorim had got the job. He challenged me to bet money on it when I said I’d wait for the club’s announcement.
24.) 22 Apr 2024 21:25:44
Juande Ramos was rubbish so why would we want Alonso who is also Spanish?
15 Apr 2024 20:21:41
I don't know about all you reds, but for me Klopp doing interviews about what he and his wife are going to do when he retires has in my opinion, meant him taken his eye off the ball. He has six more league games left and hopefully a uefa cup, that he has been well paid for. so let's hope he gets back to having his mind on these games and leave with the love and praise he deserves.
1.) 15 Apr 2024 20:43:04
The players as well.
I know there's a lot of talk about tactics and that's got some validity for sure.
But tactics don't count for anything when players aren't closing down, playing passes behind players, falling over at bad times and missing sitters.
That was my point in the match posts. Yes, the coach is responsible for some of this but the players own an awful lot of what is happening right now. They need to really wake up now.
2.) 15 Apr 2024 21:19:04
Iwillbeared, ever heard of multi-tasking or having multiple thoughts at the same time? Klopp was asked questions and he answered them. It's not like he brought up these topics on his own, did he? Pls, let's move on from these innuendos cos that's all this is, IMO.
IMO, these are red herring topics that have nothing to do with what has been happening for months this seasons in terms of how the team has been playing, our ability (or lack thereof) to stop spotting the opposition team a goal majority of the time and the inconsistencies in our finishing that have plagued us for the most part of the season. That's what I'm focused.
3.) 15 Apr 2024 21:39:16
I agree Klopp and the players should think about football and Liverpool football club 24/ 7. The fact that they even eat, sleep or go to the bathroom is a disgrace.
{Ed002's Note - Not going to the bathroom could be a disgrace.}

You people expect Klopp and the players to give you absolutely everything yet the first time the results don’t go the way you want you turn on them.
What happened to us all being in this together? Or does that only apply when we’re winning?
You’ll Never Walk Alone, unless you lose and then you can all just be sacked.
And they say football fans are fickle.

Fact is there is only a few games left with big prizes up for grabs but when we play the way we have lately. The players should be running themselves into the ground not this lack lustre play . with open goals galore n bad defending, do you expect us to say oh its OK don't worry about it. we will all be here again supporting our team next year n year after . But let say how it is without being classed as a bad supporter.

If I'm being asked on what am I going to do after work, and I said I want to grab a dinner and watch a movie with the missus, does that mean that I'm done with my current job?

@Haizan - nobody in their right mind thinks anything at all except for their job.
@Iwillbe red - you need to get out more and get a few hobbies, mate. Perhaps if the manager had been able to spend a bit more time with his wife and on holidays he might have had the strength and desire to carry on a bit longer at Liverpool eh?

What happened to us all being in it together when the match going fans were blamed last week for the Atalanta defeat?
9.) 16 Apr 2024 06:07:45
WDW I find the less time I spend with my wife the more energy I have.
10.) 16 Apr 2024 06:42:19
I hope you give all your energy to your employer and no energy to your personal life just as you expect Klopp and the Players to give all their energy to LFC.
It's about balance . WDW hits the nail on the head.
11.) 16 Apr 2024 06:51:46
The knives are out for Klopp. He’s gone from being the best manager we’ve had in 30 years to someone who gets picked apart by everything he says and does. Sad really.
12.) 16 Apr 2024 07:20:33
Irish I doubt Klopp will lose much sleep over it mate.
At a guess he’s probably a legend in 97.3% of LFC fans eyes but you can’t please everybody all of the time.
Once Klopp goes he will be missed. He’s made being a LFC fan an amazing experience over the years.
For that I’ll always be grateful to him.
13.) 16 Apr 2024 07:23:29
Awful post, nothing else to add.
14.) 16 Apr 2024 08:03:45
Ditto what burley said.

JK I did call out the fans for what happened on Thursday and that’s exactly my point.
The fans are going to the game expecting the players to give everything on the pitch. They are expecting the club to push the finances to buy the best players yet in the current climate when everything now costs more they are not prepared to accept that they have to pay more for their ticket.
Not only that but they decide to stage what was basically a silent protest at a European quarter final yet they still expect the players to perform at their highest level.
If we are all in this together then we as fans have to appreciate the world we are living in and that the club’s expenditure will have increased just like everything else has. LFC is not in a bubble that remains unaffected by a global cost of living crisis.
16.) 16 Apr 2024 09:39:19
Amen to that @JK but at least I don’t have to worry about finding things to do when the missus is around.
17.) 16 Apr 2024 10:36:57
Beckers i was at the game last Thursday and it definitely wasn't silent. The atmosphere was bouncing before the game and slowly died down in line with the performance, but from what i recall the section in the Anfield Upper where i was sang up to probably Atlanta's third goal.
Perhaps your tv or stream volume was the problem.
In the past you've stated that we are the best fans in the world but I'm guessing what you meant was we have the best online / streaming fans in the world.
For the unhappy fans the easiest option to get flags into Anfield and improve the atmosphere i'd say would be to lead from the front and go to games themselves.

"What happened to us all being in this together? Or does that only apply when we’re winning? "
@BP Yes, it only applies when we are winning for a lot of our fans and that is a fact.
However once the winning stops, these people go back to slandering and scapegoating their preferred targets du jour, the same ones they were bigging up when we were winning. Make it make sense. In fact, don't bother.
19.) 16 Apr 2024 13:14:49
WDW, usually because she already has a list of things to be done!
20.) 16 Apr 2024 12:54:26
Didn’t someone scapegoat the coaching staff in the post above.
There’s no us in following a football team on an illegal free stream.
21.) 16 Apr 2024 15:50:12
Guys, you know what the protest is about.
The fans are getting fleeced by the club and you expect them to just take it? If that happens the fleecing will get worse. If the protest affected the performance then good
If “we’re in it together” then don’t exploit your fans.
The protest is on the club, not the poor fans who shell out every game.

Man utd 4-3, Man utd 2-2, Atalanta 0-3, Palace 0-1. OliRed, this is what happens when taking your eye off the ball. also Klopp is going because he can not carry on doing the job so making videos about retiring has had an affect, but you OliRed being someone that has never had anything to do with football, but just watch it, would not understand where i am coming from.
26 Apr 2024 19:43:22
Lets hope and prey we are not getting a ten hag.
13 Apr 2024 14:30:47
What about Gomez he should go to in my opinion poor defender and passing very poor.
01 Apr 2024 22:21:24
What a problem Southgate would have with Trent if he became manager of LFC or would that mean that Trent is off?
28 Mar 2024 08:45:04
West derby if you run on to a football pitch, fella there is a 50/ 50 chance you will get injured and who pays robbos wages, scotland or Liverpool. listen i am of scots decent, but i would still of wanted robbo on the bench and only come on if needed mate.
27 Mar 2024 14:14:47
Why was Robbo playing in a friendly knowing what is at stake with LFC or why did he just play 20 mins.
24 Apr 2024 18:05:27
Remember our keeper David James had a very poor time and it was down to him being on video games, he was moved on not long after it came out.
24 Apr 2024 18:01:51
Alan kennedy left back for me over robbo Kennedy scored important goals that won us big trophies and was a top defender . The late great Ray Kennedy should be in any midfield what a left peg he had . jockey and larwo
Outstanding right back Chris lawler he was a attacking full back before it was invented and a goal scorer.
22 Apr 2024 17:09:48
For oilred, slot is second fav for the lfc position with bookies you are a plonker lad get you facts right before you jump in and stop making a fool of your self fella.

MK scouser, jones is not of the elite standard that LFC need just because he comes from Liverpool that does not make him an elite player and for Gomez he is another one as is Timikas these players are not getting us to the level we all want I know their reds and i don't want to sound like i am slagging them i am just making an observation do you think any of the three players would get in a city side or Arsenal or even man u time to move them on and sign top elite players or we will always be second best to the big spending teams.
