ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

[helpimonfire]

Didn’t Palace literally cost them the league a few years back?

Yep, but on the whole it is a done deal.

 

[paultheblue]

It's done now but any year Beelzabub United end up trophyless is a bonus

 

[jonesey10]

They were bloody awful from what I saw tonight and won 3-0!!!
How the hell have they got top 4? beggars belief.

 

[blue to the bone]

In December they were winning the league by 10 points after smashing Palace.
Don't let the media narrative fool you
From where they were its a very poor season.
A complete fall off.

 

[Yarrgh]

To be honest I'm way more annoyed at Everton's inability to still be in contention for the CL places than them sneaking it.

 

[Eggs]

This is the Liverpool rubbish that's stunk the season out.

Burnley will rag them all over Turf Moor.

.....oh Dave, you should know better by now.

Not long to go for your ultimate prediction.

 

[Marius57]

I don't think it makes any odds whether they are in champs league or not. They still need a big rebuild to be able to compete anywhere. yeah CL gives them a bit of extra cash and they will probably get through the group stages but so what.

I doubt VVD will come back the same player. Mane and Firmino have dropped off massively over this season. Sarah is another year older and they need to start finding his replacement which won't be cheap to get someone who can score the goals he does. And they don't have the money.

The problem is how dire the PL is. And it truly is. I mean, we have the home form of a relegated team, yet until last week, had a genuine shot of top 4. Other than city and United, the league is crap.

 

[Seathestars]

It looks done and dusted to me, let’s just hope they behave themselves and no more making a show of our wonderful City.

united started off crap, people seem to have forgotten OGS's job was in serious doubt earlier in the season. All that was needed from any of the top ten sides was a stint of consistent results. Only United and City did that

 

[Alan Whittle]

Nah, they did that themselves by thinking they could win 10-0.

lol

I haven't forgotten their crap start. But aside from city, their squad is still top level and I don't think there another team in the PL that is. So even when they started crap, they always had enough there to be able to turn it round and find the consistency.

I'd agree that City by far have the strongest squad and will still seek to strengthen. I think United and Chelsea are on their way to having decent squads. The rs, Leicester and Spurs have good to excellent first eleven but their drop off after that is appreciable.

We are still working towards that latter group and I think all of those apart from City could improve or wobble/ drop away from those groups with a decent signing or injury.

This season is over for us and another important window ahead. Like this season, I reckon a consistent run of decent performances and results will be enough for the top 4. De ja vu all over again.

I disagree mate. For any club having european football changes the shelf you shop on and CL means top shelf. If they get a big bid in for salah and other smaller sales plus whatever they have to spend they can still attract a better calibre of player than if they finish outside it. No top 4 and these are done. With top 4 they will have rescued a terrible season for them. Go all in on Palace. Nice of other teams to absolutely bottle it as usual

Slippy been inducted into the PL Hall of fame.
Never won it.
But gifted Chelsea is the closest he got tbh.
No bias then?

It's voted for by the fans, so is a complete waste of time. That's why you'll only see the usual suspects go in there.
