Fallen Angel

Puts it all in perspective. RIP and peace to the families denied justice.

Seriously - it’s been that long? If he had so much as a pinch of football intelligence and a dash of composure he’d be a world-bearer, but he doesn’t. If Klopp can’t instill some of the most basic concepts in a striker’s positioning and timing, I doubt anyone can. He’s destined to remain a cult-figure for some, and a complete waste of talent to others. Having a bull-in-a-china-shop up top is effective - when you’re a team fighting relegation with a backs to the wall approach. Might have a great impact off the bench to turn a cup games or a tight league match for title challenging side (with the caveat you can score against top 10 sides more than once in 1/2 a season), but not as a regular starter.

Nailed it.

You’re clearly right. Jota’s absence has cost us massively. For me, it’s the lack of composure that is costing us. if that Salah money is on the table again in summer - we have to take it. Jota and Danns are the only strikers who are safe - the rest are expendable.

it's a shame - if he harnessed his talents he could be a world beater. Right now he’s a luxury we can’t afford. Flashes of brilliance aren’t enough. I’d take a boring as fuck, one goal every 2 or 3 chances striker all day - they win you titles…

That team does NOT win the title - the efficiency of either Citeh or Arsenal will. A team struggling to beat relegation zone sides and requiring last gasp winners to do so, will always have days when it doesn’t go for them. A team missing a glut of chances and gifting opponents goals to let them back in (rinse and repeat) - don’t win titles. Not having Jota to lead the line has seriously cost us.

Great seeing Bilbao lift the Copa del Rey - lived there in the 90’s - love the city and the San Mames.

Sadly, it doesn’t need to - just a few more weeks.

This. They’ve taken 4 points off us this season - we had the chance to push them back but instead opened the door for them. Now they are efficiently dispatching teams. When you’re 2 / 3 goals up going into the last 10 mins you’re far less likely to drop points (from flukes, unexpected worldies or VAR stupidity) than when you are chasing the game or have a narrow lead. This is why efficient teams win titles…

Nice one …

His pointing could use some work too.

Haley’s Comet makes more appearances…

Good one - best wind-up all year …

Spot on. It wouldn’t matter much as if LFC raised it strongly and it resulted in a change of ref - the PL would make sure the replacement official was well aware his role was to teach our club a lesson…. Klopp must be exhausted making such an effort and not get his just rewards because the game is rigged.

The fall-out from whichever Manc club was involved, as well as in the press, would be off the charts, even if it was a dead-rubber game. Yet LFC sit meekly and accept it with scarcely a murmur. Doesn’t need to be Klopp - just official statements from the club before and after.
