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

They'll win in Belgrade. Bit of a dodgy trip though like, compounded by the fact that they've left Shaqiri at home in case things get tasty.

They should do, I certainly wouldn't be backing them at 1/8 though.

You really couldn't make up some of the bizarre ramblings from across the park!
It's DEFFO their year lads....AGAIN!!!

[thirdmantackle]

they're basically playing for the 'we got within 10 points of City' trophy

 

[Old Blue 2]

That is hilarious!

Given that the points difference is two, and goal difference already makes it a three point gap...

You'll never walk alone, unless you're of Albanian heritage!

I hope they do. Keep them in that tournament until the QFs. Tie them up.

I agree with you Dave.

A drop down to Europa is possibly there best opportunity of getting that silverwear monkey off there back.
Why i was made up to see them drop out of the league cup early

I thought people made statues of you when you'd done something great, Salah in case you're wondering

Considering the sides down in the Europa this season I want them out of the CL as soon as possible. Even if they went full tilt at the Europa they’d have to get past one of Chelsea Arsenal or Spurs at some point not to mention which of United/ Valencia would drop in. If PSG can beat them in Paris then it may well come down to a final game v Napoli. I’d almost certainly rather they went straight out at that point. Would be great if Red Star just 0-0d them this week to really put the cat amongst the pidgeons.

Happy Bonfire Night folks...

 

[Dan Tanner]

Is it Leo Sayer ?

Deffo Sayer...

He's even got all the moves of little ole Snowflake Salah...

Oh no......... who let Ramos in here.....

Looks like a trophy, the biggest bottler in the world trophy, I guess Stevie me got to keep the last one.

The message seems to be: "Hold on, this season was supposed to be about us and City. Why are these other teams still in it?"

This weekend has them reflecting that they are just part of a pack of teams trying desperately to hang onto the coat-tails of Man City.

It's going to be hilarious when they're finally dropped. The fury will be immense.

I'll post something more in depth on this later. But essentially you are spot on (again) that there is an angst going through their fanbase now. Nowhere near as much cockiness, we are well into the next stage of bluster.

The evidence is before everyone's eyes. Klopp is a front runner who has suffered a dip every season. They have not got out in front this season. The tank is emptying and they are in a dangerous rut re performances.

The next 2 games will paper over cracks, but look at that run from Watford away to Brighton away. At a time when they generally fall away a bit. They have not got ahead anywhere near enough.

I did love that post as well, for the "why is there always one team just that bit better than us, it's not fair" bla bla. They finished 4th. And one of the teams who finished above them were about 25 points ahead of them. It wasn't a Herculean effort thwarted by a single team. They were as far away from the title as we were under Moyes and (particularly) Martinez.

I think they are one big result away from wheels coming off. If Mourinho beats them that could really be a decisive shift on their fan base.

Seriously though, if Shaqiri can't go because of his heritage (and stupidly having a go at the Serbs and not rising above it) it's a bad thing. I know he was a bell doing his gestures whilst playing for Switzerland, but if that means you can't go play in a competition like anyone else then that is a very poor state of affairs. Sure, give him absolute dogs abuse from the stands, but never should he be in physical threat or danger because of it.

Or is it all a melodramatic act by the rs and their victimhood?
