  1. If Xabi has his eyes on the Real Madrid top job, why would we want him here? Not saying that's his dream, but if he can leave Leverkusen for us he could certainly also leave us for Madrid. Wouldn't like to see Xabi here for one year, and then leave. If that's a probable scenario we might be better off with someone else. It's all down to Xabi and his ambitions isn't it? He'll know he might be sacked in Madrid if he doesn't win la liga and CL in his first year. Here he'll get more time to build stone by stone.
  2. 100% the way I saw it too. Hopefully they still believe this was their turning point, pat themselves on the back, and do the same on April 7th. Failing to deal with it once was terrible. Failing twice would be a criminal offence. Klopp knows it and it won't happen. Looking forward to the PL match in a couple of weeks.
  3. Mid feb 2020 we had won all our league games but one - the away game at Old T (1-1)
  4. Hopefully they'll play us with the same brilliant high press low block tactics on Apr 7th. I guess they will. After all they've turned a corner haven't they? If we don't win that by 3+ goals, gap sticks for the players must be reinstalled in the city centre.
  5. Agree. When Klopp said "they deserved to win" it shouldv'e been "we deserved to loose" They wanted to play a disorganized gung-ho match, and we allowed them to just that in the first 30 and last 30 mins of the game. They were like a pubteam on stereoids and speed. We didn't cope with it and took way too many risks ourselves. We handed them this win.
  6. That Tik Tok clip is really embarrassing for Bruno and Man U. Thx to Ten Hag for bringing it to my attention. Probably would've passed me by without it.
  7. Great report that, straight from the heart. "Danns hadn’t even been on a first team bench until this week and now he’s got more medals than Harry Kane. " Sums it up doesn't it.
  8. Why do you compare the two? Endo was caught offside. He wasn't penalized because of the block.
  9. Haven't seen it mentioned here before, but it pisses me right off that Bradley got a yellow. The snide Chilwell attacks him and even graps at his face. Conor shows great calm and professionalism by not doing anything else than to stand his ground. I doubt I could've contained myself from planting at fist on his nose. Yet Conor's booked for it. Booked for nothing, booked because Chilwell attacked him. It's bullshit. What if Conor was already on a yellow and Chilwell not?
  10. Yeah it was booed alright, but not by the vast majority. Personally I'd prefer keeping my gob shut. Watching one half of the Wembey crowd silent would be just as telling as booes, only without being disrespectful. No that I care much. The answer to your question is "Yes it was booed.
  11. The way I saw it too. When Kloppo took Robbo, Macca and Gakpo off and replaced them with Tsimikas and kids, I admit my reaction was: "We better score a lucky goal before XT if we're going to win this. If we give Chelsea 30 extra mins we're dead". Only, they didn't take advantage, we were arguably the better team in XT. If there's actually such a thing as a Chelsea fan, he or she should be really pissed off by their teams abmyssal effort in XT. Takes nothing away from our kids though.
  12. It may be unpopular but I agree with you. Endo offside? Check! Did he interfer with the play? Check! People seem to compare the block from Endo with other incidets after corners etc. They're missing the point. The goal wasn't overruled because of Endo's block alone, it was disallowed because he was offside and interferred with the play. We've been thoroughly shaftet by Refs and VAR repeatdely this season. This, however, was not one to complain about.
  13. They better do as we probably have to give our grown ups a rest for this one. It feels like FA cup success depends on the football gods. If we beat Soton (we really should even with the U-14s) it could be ManC away for the QF or Coventry/Maidstone at Anfield.
  14. Sparta Praha is as good as it could be. I only wanted to avoid Milan (tough match), Rome (safety for our supporters) and Quarabag (long trip). Everyone else would be OK with Sparta Praha arguably the best draw we could have. Now let's just get Coventry at Anfield for the FA quarter and we'll be able to give key players som rest in this run in. 2 matches every week from now on.
  15. Never happy but we need them to win occasionally to keep Ten Hag in his job. That somewhat eases the pain.
  16. Xabi's not an idiot. He'll know he's going to be axed unless he's an immediiate success at Real Madrid. Here he'll be give the time needed. Maybe's his heart is also in Liverpool.
  17. I've seen somebody comparing this to Ferguson leaving Man U, but it's very different. In 2013 ManU lost a great manager In 2024 Liverpool FC lost a great manager AND one hell of a decent compassionate Man. Vielen dank, Jurgen, for making me dream again Vielen dank, Jurgen, for making those dreams come true. Your next job will probably be managing "der Mannschaft". Good luck!
  18. Could easily be that somehow info was leaked, and they knew it would get out anyway. Better then to reveal the news yourself. How can we say the timing is wrong when we don't know the facts?
  19. Against Fulham 9/10 forwards, especially if they were on a goal drought, would shoot from a tight angel. Darwin? No, a clever little cutback to Gakpo instead. Great thinking, superb awareness that. And proof the ”shit Andy Carrol chants” doesn’t affect him. Darwin probably doesn’t know who Andy Carrol is, but if he himself is a shit version of the man I guess he wonders how extremely good that Carrol guy must’ve been.
  20. If Ronaldo (not "Real Ronaldo" but "Pretty boy Ronaldo") had gone on a goal drought and was in Darwin's shoes, what would he do? He'd shoot from a tight angle, maybe scoring probably not. Darwin? he cuts back to Gakpo for a lovely finish. The awareness, cool and unselfishness deserves all the praise we can give him. Gakpo should be salutede too of course.
  21. A real shame I agree. To be fair many of us do however recognise and respect his efforts. You can hear his name being sung during matches a lot and I believe Darwin can feel the support. What's more, I think he needs it. We're many who'll follow general Usher and die on Darwin Hill
  22. Does anyone have a record of how many goals we as a team have scored with Darwin on the pitch this season as opposed to goals scored without him?
  23. Apparently Darwin has 8 goals and 10 assists to his name halfway through this season, on course for app. 36 goal involvements this year. Not too bad for a guy who's taken an overdose of the anti-scoring vaccine. Can't wait for the vaccine to wear off. I'm still on Darwin Hill fighting. I'm far from alone, almost all of us are
  24. No need to give them any fancy ideas. Much better for them to sign proven quality, Romelu Lukaku and Jordan Hendrson! That would sort them. And... don't bin their clever gaffer.
  25. Absolutely right. The positive is that the more the pay the deeper they dig their own grave. Makes me wonder if we actually did compete for Caicedo or we just had bit of fun with Boehly.
