Premier League 23/24: Gameweek 35 (April 27-28 & May 2)

[MartiSaka]

I really need for the same energy to be given to Liverpool bottling that was given to us because they have players and a manager that everyone agrees are World Class with experience and they've collapsed worse than we did with the 2nd youngest team in the league last season.

Carragher has already displayed the double standard by suggesting Liverpool exceeded expectations by challenging, even though he tipped them to challenge at the start of the yr. No mention of bottling like he did with us last yr (whom he had not tipped to challenge last yr).

These heat of the moment touchline things get massively overblow.

Don't think there's much in it really. Just two frustrated guys.

Look who’s back to state the absolute obvious.

That is the rational take. You get more clicks if you blow it up..."Klopp fuming from Salah outrage"...etc...

Well you'd know. Many a time you've been frustrated in the company of another male.

Liverpool might as well cancel that documentary.. The **** are they going to show

Liverpool clearly bottling it. They can't cope with the race and the pressure of Klopp leaving. Their defence has been a shambles and Salah looks done. Should have taken the 100m on offer from Saudi and dropped it on someone.

Don't think they're aging either. They've a few older players but they've gutted and replaced a lot of older players (Salah and VVD the only ones left?) and have a mixed bag. They should be back on it next season.

Is it just me or does Virgil look like he's wearing a hair net?

He makes sandwiches at a scouse cafe in his spare time.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Chelsea should get Geert Wilders in. At least have one Dutch bloke with hair on the touchline. He'd fit with the club's values too.

They also apparently had the easiest run in. Maybe Arteta forgiven a little bit now.

Incredible how for Liverpool "They weren't supposed to challenge this season" is a valid excuse but we were bottlers last season despite starting that season only expecting to challenge for top 4 at most.

 

[Blankety Blank]

It’s always because anything connected to Liverpool is more special. Like Trent saying trophies mean more to Liverpool than City or Jones thinking Klopp invented the fist up celebration.

Sounds painful but whatever floats his boat I guess

Slot will either convince Salah to stay because he's worried about the lack of goals/match winners in the team if he goes, or he'll try to put his own stamp by getting rid straight away. Either way I see Liverpool going through at the very least some sort of transitional phase. They need to build beyond the likes of Salah and Van Dijk, and I don't think they're gonna go out and by ready made stars who'll instantly improve the side. They need better midfielders, new match winning forwards and probably elsewhere at CB too.

London Stadium during the title run in (April/May) is a tough fixture

2-2 Liverpool today

2-2 Arsenal last season (Saka missed penalty)

2-2 vs City 21/22 season (Liverpool quadruple charge season, this is matchday 37), City wins the title on match day 38 vs Villa,

"Carra" will tell you this collapse is perfectly acceptable because no one expected Liverpool to be competing prior to the season.

Yeah this is terrible from them. We were playing Rob Holding and a gimpy Saka when we collapsed. They have the "best defender in the world", VVD and a fully fit Mo Salah. That people had the audacity to compare this gimp Klopp to Arsène is even more disgraceful.

Carragher is the master of deflection. He'll paint this collapse as 'klopp over-achieved'.

 

[Nunowoolmez]

Well that's Liverpool hopefully out of the race !

 

[MartiSaka]

Time to watch Burnley totally outplay Utd at home

 

[Blankety Blank]

Don’t know why people build Klopp to be some Jesus character who deserved so much more etc. Football doesn’t work like that.

If he got robbed by City then so did others, like Mick - but I bet that sympathy will never be there for him.

Well he has won Liverpool their 1st prem in 30 years, the Champs league & loads of domestic cups ffs.
He's a great manager absolutely no doubt.
He has set an incredibly high standard. If not for Peps 115 charges FC he would have won more titles.

I will give you another scenario. Arsène takes over when Peps City are a thing & wins 1 title & the odd domestic gong. Does it mean he is is not a great manager?
