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

[thirdmantackle]

wouldn't it be funny.

actually, it would be hysterically funny.

 

[zirc]

It's just a pity for them they didn't qualify for the champions league. He would have stayed otherwise.

 

[davek]

Or worshipping Lyssa the god of madness in their weird pursuit to be the craziest poster of them all... (yeah I looked that up)

Its littered with differing types of cult madness as well:

Technical madness:...

It's the most laughable nonsense around.

Every 6 months Rodgers' ppg tally has gone up.

In the last 14 matches we were 12-1-1. We'd probably have been 13-0-1 if we weren't so desperate to increase our GD vs Palace.

But 12-1-1 is 37 pts/42 which is 2.64 ppg which is equivalent to an astonishing 100 points over a 38 match season.

Considering that last season (2012-13), we went on a much improved run (vs. the first 6 months of Rodgers' reign) and then proceeded to beat that, I hardly expect much of a drop off next year from 2.64 ppg.

Delusional madness:

We will be in the Champions League next year. It isn't going to be easy to sustain such a crazy rate over 38 games, given that even Barca and Real Madrid have struggled in the past couple of seasons. That isn't to say that we wouldn't be able to do it at some stage under Brendan Rodgers.
In fact, if we were to exit the CL in the group stages (hopefully not!), we might just manage 95 points or something tremendous like that, depending on our summer transfers.

The inevitable madness

I honestly think we can win it next season

And err this... which is simply RAWK madness:

Reason or imagination; probability or poetry; the search for solutions or the search for beauty. These are the contrasting theories of the conduct of affairs that we are faced with before each and every decision. There are those who believe that life consists of a series of imposed situations to each of which there is one right response, and there are those who think that we ourselves impose upon the material chaos a psychic order of our own invention, not seeking a problem but to conceive a work of art.
Those stuck in the land of reason can not understand the freedom with which we play. These over-analysers commend the structure and order with which Jose Mourinho's Chelsea play, whilst criticising the poetry in motion we have unleashed upon the league. They don't understand us; they fear us.
We don't fit into the natural order that has come to pass within football. Rodger's strives not to win a football match, or the league. He strives to create an artistic impression that will stay in our minds for generations. We are playing football that before now only our dreams could create. A special brand that this game has rarely seen.
You can keep the Mourinhos, the Allardyces and the Pulises, we have a true Impressionist for a manager, who is creating a footballing renaissance. Sculpting is footballing views onto the world. We will continue to stroke the ball around, like Van Gogh stroking a brush on an easel. We will continue to excite, frighten and destroy in equal measure. We will continue to rise from the ashes.
Let the pundits keep the logic, we have our dreams. That's all we need for this quest for footballing beauty.

Ha Ha Ha. High praise for a no mark, won nothing manager who got sacked by Reading.

Appeal lost - that's £15M off the asking price right there.

Hand him over kopites, he wants to go to a big club FFS.

That's some description for long ball to Suarez isn't it? lol

 

[Ihaters]

They were not saying that of course when he signed a new contract for five years and a huge increase in pay.

You'd be banned if you had.

If Brent really was a painter, based on his footy aesthetics, this is what he'd produce:

Maybe they can replace Suarez with Caroll again and keep the system going:

Henderson shooting again?

 

[Fuleco]

Ajax get 6.5% of the transfer fee.

Where's that from Fuleco I've been waiting for this sort of thing to finally come out.

Swansea era Brendan

Formby era Brendan

How does the fact if Suarez is on the pitch make the other players less accurate with their passes? I cant actually believe that has been published by the echo, its akin to creationism.

Yeah that was pretty odd. Bit the whole thing is odd, for a start the number of games Suarez was absent for was statistically negligible tbh. He cites the Newcastle game but neglects to mention the barcodes had one their stewards in goal and several other position were filled by reserves. The other 3 games at the end of that season were two wins against a very poor Fulham team and an already relegated QPR and a draw to us at Anfield.

Start of last season they were outplayed by Stoke, got a lucky goal agaisnst United, didn't look great against Villa, lost to southampton and drew with Swansea and Notts County.

You just know how it's going to play out.

Brent was handicapped by Suarez's unforgivable betrayal, we must give him more time, yes Markovic hasn't scored in 20 games, Can looks out of his depth and people are beginning to wonder what anyone ever saw in Lovren etc but we have to give him time, time we couldn't give Hodgson for whatever reason, he's a genius and and soon these players will click. What definitely is NOT the case is that Brent is actually pretty clueless and were saved time and time again by a racist genius.

I honestly can't wait to see them fume next season when it all goes pear shaped.
