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

Still think Herr shippmann will have an epiphany and change his mind at the end of the season, especially if this nauseating mass tug off continues over him and his brave team of injured kids and nobodies, managing to patch a side together that cost a half a billion quid and beat Barca-Luton 4–1, and they get airlifted to the league and other comps.

The egotistical bellend wont be able to leave it behind.

This. He’s the biggest narcissist I’ve ever seen. No way he’s walking away from that cult following.
 
The narrative now is becoming beyond ridiculous. It's being reported now that Klopp 'masterminded' the 'incredible comeback' from a goal down against Luton.

To put this into perspective, Arsenal won two consecutive away games by an aggregate 11-0, and the media reaction was basically 'Arsenal are looking a bit stronger'.

This is why I don't buy in to this 'Big Six Bias' thing. It's not the Big Six, it's just them with their own set of rules. Maybe United and City to an extent, but certainly not when they face plucky Liverpool. Arsenal just get dismissed at every opportunity. Whenever I see posts on here doubling down on the 'Scab Six' claims of bias, my Kopite Radar starts alerting me, just in case... :dodgy:

Honestly I try to avoid this topic as my view of that club is obviously going to be very different to the majority on here. I didn't grow up in Luton itself but in the surrounding area, most of the lads at my primary school didn't support the local clubs (and those few that did usually went with Watford) but by far the most supported club was Liverpool, followed by Arsenal to a fair degree. No Utd fans at all back then although randomly one City fan who must be happy with how that turned out 30+ years on!

I do strongly agree with the usual GOT view that the media frenzy over Liverpool is usually OTT but it's not hugely different to any of the other 'big' clubs when something the media can spin a lazy narrative around is happening. Klopp is a bit more of a 'personality' than other managers so maybe that makes it easier? I think on here there's a certain degree of bias that magnifies it when it comes to them though.

It wasn’t any different when Hodgson was their manager.

Nauseating comments from Rob Edwards, the latest in a long list of opposing managers who are happy to just roll over for a belly tickle and a headpat.

"We just made them angry I think didn't we," Edwards said post-match.

"Second-half I think we just saw Anfield, saw Liverpool, saw that full-throttle football. Their counter-pressing was incredible, suffocated us.

"Fans were amazing and it was probably difficult for the players to really concentrate. The real threat came from their counter-pressing, their intensity, it really put us on the back foot.

"Clearly I'm disappointed to concede from a corner and a throw in as well, those are the bits we know we can improve on, especially in that noise when your mate next to you can't hear you. You've got to be able to deal with those situations better.

"But, bigger and better teams have come here and that's sort of happened to them as well so it's not a disgrace.

"It was like the Kop was just sucking it in and we couldn't really get out. We saw Anfield and Liverpool at it's best, I thought they were brilliant."

What an embarrassing cringey little freak.

Didn’t they buy Elliot from Fulham for loads of money?

If you consider £4.3 million loads of money then yes. He created seven chances last night which is the highest for any Premier League player this season and also the youngest to do that since 2008 in the Premier League . He didn't go through the academy but he does hold the record of starting for the first team at the age of 16.

He’d be playing for Norwich if he wasn’t riddled with PEDs
