Conceding the title

[Wezza]

I said to my Dad a month ago we would run out of steam. It was impossible to sustain keeping going behind and turning it around and that is how it played out (unfortunately). 

[bizzle10]

Mancs away always felt this was a flawed side especially the always conceding 1st being a massive gripe but my heart told they would fight to send Klopp off on a high and we would take it to the Wolves game at least but they are just not good enough and CL and a cup is a good season for where this team is.

[Leyton388]

Just turned into a floppy cock of a title challenge. Squads just full of weak minded losers who gave up and put on no show performances.

Worth noting though that if you'd have said that this season we would win a cup, get back into the european cup and be long shot of the walking footballers who had turned us into an embarrassment of a team last season, i'd have rippee your arm off for it.

 

Of course Klopp going is a big time blow - but frankly i'd rather he went than tried to do the job when fucked. 

 

We stand on verge of a new era and there is an excitement that comes with that.

CL and a cup is a good season for where this team is at its clear Klopp does not have the energy to motivate them anymore.The building blocks for a new side are there and add in some the youngsters we got too.My only concern is we will try and Endo our way through this summer by buying bargains when we really need a top class DM and a striker/forward

[Jairzinho]

Voted after the Mancs game as it was the earliest option, but the truth is I never actually thought we'd win it. Always felt City would be the team to fuck up least in the final stretch. 

 

Didn't think we'd shit the bed quite so comprehensively, mind.

Hopefully the ambition of the club is shown to be at the level we all hope it is.

What makes you think that? Aside from 14 years of clear evidence?

[Reckoner]

And using poor Endo’s name as a pejorative is a bit tight. There’s better examples, like that Turkish centre back fella. 

[Juniper]

The Manc game killed the dream for me. Felt it was over then for sure.

That’s because that’s exactly what we did last  summer we Endo’d the DM position

[Gruntfuttock]

When Virg and Ali cocked up and gave Arsenal a way back in to the game and then not beating City told me we weren't quite ready to win the PL ,so anything going wrong after those two games wasn't a surprise,bloody annoying though!

If only we'd splashed out on Caicedo and Werner.

It was the weekend for me. Giving away a lead to a disinterested West Ham side, combined with Forest not bringing Origi on has led me to conclude that it’s all over.

[s(k)aturation]

 

We weren't winning the League if we weren't beating United.

 

[El Rojo]

The United game was a disaster, but if we’d beaten Palace we were right back up there. 
 

And we also got deservedly dumped out of Europe over the same timeframe. 
 

Horrible few weeks.

This does not add up for me.

 

Since that game we have dropped 8 pts.

 

3 v Palace

3 v The Shite

2 v West Ham

 

Give us those 8 pts and the table looks like this:

 

Us 83

Arsenal 80

Abu Dhabi 79 (with a game in hand)

Hahaha, I knew the forums white knight would be the first to reply.
 

well for one, how about switching them around so we had them more balanced and able to go outside the fullback for a change instead of doing what we’re still doing which clearly doesn’t fucking work.
 

You can’t blame the players because the replacements are doing the exact same thing so it’s clear they’re following the managers instructions.

Yeah, we should do that. Woy was a big fan of that. Stewart Downing put in a million crosses and it produced zero goals. Also the likes of Fat Sam and Tony Pulis would approve. 
 

And your previous post, where to start. Hopefully you’re a bloo on a windup, cause the alternative is just sad.

Yes, that's the statistics talking.

 

I'm talking the spirit and belief.

Are you seriously saying there’s nothing wrong with how we’re set up to attack?

What kind of comparisons that. And Dalglish signed downing

I’m saying the idea you brought up about switching our attackers to go more on the outside of the full backs is totally out of date. More or less every top team in Europe do the opposite, like us they play with right footed players on the left and the other way around. Look no further than tonights game in tje CL, and Sane’s goal.

 

We’ve scored slightly less than Arsenal and City this year, probably if you bother to check the facts because we dont convert our chances. 
 

Also we’ve no doubt overachieved in the league this season, compared to what most experts and supporters predicted before the season started. And we’ve done it with a million injuries. Every single first team player except Van Dijk has been injured more or less. And you start talking about Klopp getting the tactics wrong? Well 100% disagree is the nicest thing I have to say about that.

Did Dalglish signing Downing make all those crosses work?
