ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 2

[Pudsey]

I think the rest of the world probably needs s pint of what St. Dom drinks, I prob need two lol. You can only beat what is in front of you. Spurs were always going to be their first test.

I hate them just a little more each day.

Chelsea have 9 from 9 and two home games in a row they’ll look to win. City have a fortuitous run too. If they want to hand themselves he trophy after 3 games then they can but I certainly don’t have to buy into it. Like you I see a far inferior midfield this season and teams wising up to the front line that Klopp dares not rotate. They’ve made improvements in defence yes but apprently pointing out that they haven’t been that impressive isn’t popular currently so we must feign adoration of two home wins and a fortuitous away one against three bottom half teams that try beat last season.

Chelsea have really surprised me this season. I thought they'd struggle. A lot will depend on Hazard, I think he could be the best player in the league if he stays.

The achievement the fella managing had at Napoli, 91 points in Serie A is fantastic. It's a lot easier to match that with Chelsea. So we will see. They have a habit of both winning big games/titles and also compounding opinions. When they look strong they tend to disappoint, when the are up against it they thrive. I remember under Conte, it was all about United, then City, then Spurs, then Liverpool. They quietly went under the radar, won about 13 games in a row and got themselves so far ahead nobody could catch them.

The other thing I'd say, is they look to have a number of players who can play a lot better this season. Rudiger in particular looks a fantastic defender. Morata (another who could be critical like Hazard) is a world class striker who may settle this season. I look at Liverpool and see a side who is playing to it's peak at the start of this season and for much of last.

The other factor in this, is Klopp has always front loaded at seasons. Chelsea and City have come from behind, Spurs and United also tend to warm up later. I am underwhelmed with their start. If they get through the next 5-6 games top of the league then they have a chance, if not forget about it, they'll be battling for 4th again.

There is a record here as well. I openly said after the Bournemouth game 2 years ago they were done. It was a brave prediction for a side top of the league. They lost it that day, because they hadn't built enough of a lead.

Brighton are appalling away from home, arguably the worst in the league, and they scraped past them. We should relax, let them rinse and repeat that it's their year again, and wait for the meltdown. I've given up hoping for any degree of integrity, honesty, humility or intellectual transparency from them.
Paul Cope summed it up perfectly after the cup final, when he made a grade 1 tit of himself, didn't make any acknowledgement of it, just sort of said "well what did you expect me to do"? It's the language and outlook of a sociopath. Even when concrete evidence flies against them they will just ignore it. The sort of attitude that leads to mass murders from states.
So yes I can't hope to reason or educate most of them. As Orwell said of fascism, you can't reason with it (beyond the barrel of a gun) but you can certainly sit back and enjoy it.

They were also down to 10 men in that game.

They don't care about us though, no siree.

 

[Kenshin]

So fantastic start for them in their league challenge.

On par with Watford and Chelsea.

Not too special then eh? Especially considering their opponents. They look good for a strong season let's not kid ourselves but there will be fans after 3 games who will genuinely believe it's their year because city drew a game already. I hope to god Chelsea keep pace with them at the start so the minute they drop points they start to worry

 

[scotchbutterpin]

I refuse to acknowledge how they are doing until Steve0 tells me.

I’m sure we had a DNA campaign years ago. Nothing will be better than that season they came not to play.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Typically they struggle with the crap teams, but they’ve been grinding those results out nicely...

Seen this utter bumf floating around on billboards and on the back of buses around the city as part of this year's campaign to con the customers..... Sorry "fans" (don't wanna be reminded of the "transforming fans into customers" report that Fenway commissioned but managed to get embarrassingly leaked, well actually posting and boasting about it on their very own website)

Yet low and behold upon visiting their Pravda-esq website you are immediately asked to REGISTER....

A whole community shamefully torn apart, peoples lives made a misery for years as they systematically forced people to move with (IMO) Liverpool City Council complicit in every step.

If anyone's never read it have a look at David Conn's article in the Guardian, this gives you an idea of just what that rat club is all about.

Family club hahahaha. If your family are all foreigners who you don't mind taking tickets for the game from you. A family who complain about people of colour or disabled people attending the game. A family who try and fleece you at any given opportunity and then you have to protest to stop them. A family where your brother would punch you in the face to steal your ticket for a final. A family who'd kick your old granny out the house so they can build a massive stand.
