The unpopular opinion thread 2014 - amnesty applies.

[Spy Bee]

It is a bit like people can't wait to have a moan though. After 5 minutes yesterday people were going mental on Twitter. I think LFC fans need to be a bit more Jungian.

Henderson is a terrible footballer.

Well, moaners will always outgun those with a positive view.  It was ever thus.

 

Positives from yesterday:

 

1.  We won!

2.  Some of our players recovering from injury got some game time.

 

I suspect it would have been much much easier to be positive about this game overall had I not watched it.  That's where I'm going wrong.    

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I think Rodgers is more than capable of setting up a defence.

I've read some sick things on here but this takes the cake. You should be sectioned.

[Mook]

People who post online when the game is on are complete twats.

 

How can you watch the game & post at the same time? I don't go anywhere near the internet when the game is on.

[moof]

We were shocking yesterday moof. And this is a forum. If we play well everyone loves it, and says so on here.

I'm not talking about criticising the performance of the team I'm talking about people being deliberately snide and cunty

It's quite easy, you just set up often used shortcuts such as "Fucking hell, we're shit", "Fuck off Johnson", "Balotelli is utter wank", "Lovren is turd", "Mignolet looking shaky", "How shit have we been?", etc, and post them via the touch of one button at regular intervals during the 90 minutes.  They've stood me in good stead this season, that's for sure.

You could write a book while watching our shit. And not a very good book. Certainly not Bravo Two Zero by Andy McNabb.

I think we are going to click at some point and go on a good run twatting teams again this season.

 

We'll comfortably finish in the top four.

I think whatever the opposite of this is.

Hardly unpopular, and we are already on a run of being pure ebola.

 

The fourth place one, fair enough (though hardly unpopular either).

I considering not introducing my son to the joys of football in general and LFC in particular.

Exactly the same as religion.  Let him find it for himself, or denounce it as a complete scam run by cunts for personal profit and influence.

Think back to the greatest days of being a red, tell me you don't want him to share that feeling

[deiseach]

Ah, he'll end up supporting Liverpool. If I didn't do it, my wife would do it in my stead and she'd be right. I suppose the fact that I'm having these thoughts shows I'll never be the real deal as a supporter. It's part of her heritage, it's not part of mine. Still, I don't think it's unreasonable to question whether the pleasure is worth all the pain (financial pain included).

[Dr. J]

I like Van Gaal, especially how he shows belief in his players and team. It's crazy to think they still have a chance at the title but I'd rather crazy belief than shoulder shrugging passivity in a manager.

Even theirs?

[Dr. J]

Sure for them I'd prefer an incompetent like Moyes rather than a competent nutter like Van Gaal, but I do like to see a manager showing faith and belief in his players, however ill judged.

[Markmywords]

This Manc team is similar to ours

 

Both have a suspect keeper (athough theirs is better)

Both have a shit defence,

Both have an average midfield (although ours is better)

Both are half decent up front (although theirs is better)

 

They have a world class player

We don't

 

The race for 4th is going to be ridiculous

[Tony Moanero]

I'd argue that Mata, Falcao and Di Maria are world class.

[Dr Nowt]

United have as much chance at the title as we do.

 

Unfortunately however I'd make them favourites for fourth, as I don't believe we'll sign a striker in January, have little faith we'd buy well even if we did, and what we have makes Old Mother Hubbard's supplies look like Costco.

[Josef Svejk]

United have as much chance at the title as we do.

 

They have a better keeper and better attacking players. Both defences and midfields are poor. They also have fewer games to concentrate on. And they'll probably splash more cash in January.

 

But they still won't win the league...

[Mook]

Mata has been dogshit since he went to Old Trafford.

 

I'm not a big one for saying who is 'World class' or not but I don't think Mata is, certainly not over the last 12 months.

Still scoring one in two
