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

[edge]

Very quiet at work today.... Although a couple of rs church mice have broken their vows of silence to announce the thrashing in form 2nd place spurs are getting this weekend.... Has their delusion no bounds ?!

no mate its infinite, just when you think it cant possibly go any further it does.

 

[Deleted member 24970]

Haha.

Why do they even show this? Do people actually watch it live? Why wouldn't they just watch the match? Totally setting themselves up for total ridicule, bunch of grade A whoppers.

I said it yesterday on twitter, the lad in the red with the glasses is the type of guy I expect to see pop up on a Stinson hunter video, willing to meet a 13 year old girl.

He is a whopper of the highest order, when things go wrong for LFC he always mentions Everton.

Oh...

Think you might enjoy this too....

Im not even joking here or having a dig, when i try to read anything from RAWK and such, my head literally goes into a daze. That 'passage' you quoted was just a load of crap, what is he/she saying ? What is the point of the passage ? All i got was something like take your frustrations out on eachother at the top of whatever hill he was on about.

Im not joking WTF ?!

If we somehow beat and finish above them I want to be buried inside TheRedmenTV forever.

 

[nsno-chris]

I hope we make a £60m bid for Coutinho in the summer, just to see their heads fall off

It was actually from 'The Anfield Wrap', which I first stumbled upon before their Chelsea game.

Listen:

It’s perfectly straightforward this. Tuesday is the most important day of your life. You might have other things going on, so let’s boil it down further. It is the biggest night of your year. If it goes well you might get another one bigger. If it doesn’t there’s every chance that is 2017 supporting The Reds. That is it. Everything else becomes process again. The process of top four. The process of starting the next campaign. Everything becomes the process. Your outcome is broken. [Poor language removed] on the concrete of Chelsea.

Listen:

It’s perfectly straightforward this. Go bananas. Every free kick is a Liverpool free kick. Every Liverpool player is a good player and it is a sheer [Poor language removed] cosmic injustice that the brilliant bit of play they just attempted didn’t work. Every time the ball goes out of play it belongs to Liverpool. Every tackle on a Liverpool player is a foul. Your hands aren’t your hands. They are Liverpool’s hands. Clap them. Your throat, son, isn’t your throat. It is Liverpool’s throat. Use it.

Listen:

It’s perfectly straightforward this. Practice against Wolves. Go to Wolves and shout and scream and if any [Poor language removed] so much as nudges or sniggers behind his or her hand, if anyone has an eye on you, ask them what they are doing. [Poor language removed] shame the bastards. Have it out with them there and then. Put a marker down. For Tuesday. Stretch your legs. For Tuesday. Have a warm up. For Tuesday. There is only Tuesday.

I’m off. The last thing I need is a warm up for Tuesday. I’ve a note from Dr Nevin giving me the all clear to have some time out of the firing line. To clear my head. To focus on Tuesday.

Tuesday is everything. Make it everything. Make Liverpool everything. And then we se

The internet has well and truly broke.

The thing is I can see what he is trying to do, get the fans to focus on Tuesday and give 110%. It is cringy but I see the point.

Most of the others I just don't get. Their poetry and genuine delusion amongst other traits of theirs is just mind boggling.

I cannot even fathom this. I have just cringed into oblivion.

I cannot even fathom this. I have just cringed into oblivion.

All I can make out is hes attacking concrete instead of the usual kopite trait and using it TO attack

It's the idea that he wants to batter his own fans for being quiet If you read the article, despite clearly trying to be the 'Big "I AM"', even if he denies it, he then goes on to say he's not going the match as he needs a weekend off

Kopites = Cringe Gold

Interesting article on the RS from Paul Joyce in today's Times...not so much a match report as a stark 'warts n all'.

http://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/t...ptions-to-arrest-liverpools-decline-zg7psg675

Klopp running out of options to arrest Liverpool’s decline

The greatest contrast came not on the pitch, even if Hull City had given their all and Liverpool had offered nothing, but with the managers. While Marco Silva is working a miracle, Jürgen Klopp looked and sounded as if he needs one.

Liverpool have now endured their worst start to a calendar year since 1954, a season in which they were relegated, and Klopp left the KCOM Stadium seeking to put a brave face on the reality that a place in the top four will slip from his side’s grasp unless he can correct an alarming downturn.
Yet the conundrums facing Liverpool and their manager are onerous.
“When I get up, I will only be solution-orientated,” Klopp said. “There are solutions, 100 per cent. Even though at this moment it feels really bad, it’s not the biggest problem in the world.”

Fragile foundations
When Liverpool thrashed Hull 5-1 in September, with Sadio Mané, Adam Lallana and Philippe Coutinho among the scorers, it came in a two-month period when they swatted all-comers aside and moved clear at the summit of the table. Yet their slump pre-dates the new year and has lasted as long as those swaggering displays when anything felt possible.

Klopp’s confidence in his players, having invested so much in them, is clearly being tested. He must hope that he has not overestimated their capabilities, confusing players capable of raising their game when everything goes for them with those good enough to produce consistently over an entire campaign.

Liverpool, in general, have a habit of believing that they are better than they really are. Good players do not need to be constantly defended by their manager; they go out and prove it where it matters. Yet Liverpool’s defeats this season have come to teams in 18th place (Burnley), 12th (Bournemouth), 20th (Swansea) and 19th (Hull). Chelsea have dropped only two points against teams outside the top six.

How Klopp can change it
Liverpool do have options. Loris Karius can replace Simon Mignolet, at fault for Alfred N’Diaye’s opener for Hull, in goal. The midfield could be stiffened if James Milner moves forward and Alberto Moreno comes in at left back, while Daniel Sturridge and Divock Origi could bolster an attacking triumvirate that has lost its spark. But they don’t feel like convincing changes that will make a great difference. Sturridge has not been able to muster any semblance of form, partly because of injury but also because he is never afforded a run of games, and Origi has lost his way.

Opponents no longer drop deep because they are scared of Liverpool, but as a tactic to stymie them. A striker who would provide a different focal point would amount to a Plan B, but there is not one. Many Liverpool supporters openly wonder why Emre Can is starting, but the more telling question is why is it a choice between Can or Georginio Wijnaldum? Not long ago Klopp was reminding his inquisitors of their impertinence for questioning whether his midfield was strong enough. As Tom Huddlestone caught the eye for Hull, the Liverpool manager might be minded to accept that argument was not so flimsy.

Money, money, money
It is a year ago today since Liverpool supporters walked out of Anfield en masse during a draw with Sunderland in protest at plans to hike up ticket prices. Faced with their biggest crisis, owners Fenway Sports Group backed down. That was then, this is now. Klopp maintains Liverpool’s failure to consolidate in January was because targets were not available rather than the club being unwilling to spend.

This summer’s transfer plans will be interesting. Liverpool need a new goalkeeper, a left back, a centre half, possibly two, a central midfielder and an out-and-out goalscorer. Conservative cost? £120 million — and Liverpool will not have a player to cash in on, like Luis Suárez in 2014, Raheem Sterling in 2015 or Christian Benteke in 2016, unless Sturridge leaves. If the club’s ambition was not found wanting last month, it will come under scrutiny again.

Where has all the energy gone?
Rediscovering the boundless energy of September and October will be key to reviving Liverpool’s Champions League hopes. They need to start matches more quickly, having failed to score before the 55th minute in any of their past five games. Liverpool conceded the first goal on four occasions in their opening 21 matches, coming back to win three of those. They have now fallen behind in each of their past three games and not won any of them. One thing is certain: do not expect Liverpool’s substitutes to wrest a game back from the brink. Substitutes have scored only three in the league this season and on two occasions the outcome was beyond doubt. Only Origi’s breakthrough in a 2-0 win against Sunderland in November has been crucial. Last season, Klopp’s substitutions earned Liverpool 11 points.

Not sure about that emboldened bit there - if they have a player who they can sell to raise funds, surely its Coutinho (or even Mane) rather than Sturridge.
