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

[Saint Domingo]

Us and Palace should have beaten them and they’d be miles off now. If Benteke or Calvert Lewin could have finished they’d be looking at 5th.

 

[davek]

If any decent European team Liverpool had faced since the round of 16 had set up and fought like a terrible Stoke team then we'd have been saved this possible nightmare next month. They really have benefitted from decent teams being stupid when playing them in the CL.

They’ve only played one in the whole comp.

 

[PITA]

Will be the first season ever that the undoubted best team in the league will have finished 4th.

It won't, they've done that quite a lot.

There’s that too. Easiest run to a Champions League final I can remember. Arsenal have got a tougher draw in Atletico in the EL.

I’m sorry but there’s countless posts on here about how they have started off the circle of hooliganism. They’ve been at it for ages domestically trying to big up rivalries that don’t even exist with teams. United and Arsenal fans can mingle peacefully despite almost a decade of rivalry yet Liverpool fans won’t mix with Chelsea ones because they played each other a couple of years in a row. Same now with City, obviously United and is, they’ve tried with Spurs of late also.

Now they’re at it in Europe thinking that its perfectly logical to smash up teams buses, get in scraps with their fans in the street etc. but then expect that said fans willl treat them perfectly when they want to enjoy the away game (and by that I mean often trashing that city’s square or getting into fights with locals)

The club and police let it go for far too long (and continue to) and now there’s a situation where trouble is expected before a match has even started. I bet there was no need for Barcelona Atletico or Shakhtar fans to request a police escort in Rome. If something happens LFF will be the first to cry the victim but they should really take a look in-house first at how they could take responsibility more to prevent this cycle of violence.

I never got their weird obsession with Spurs, a London club. Is it because Harry Kane was Salah's rival for POTY? Note how their players all had a go at Kane on Twitter. I kind of envy them, in a way. Wish our lot circled the wagons.

I really don’t get teams approach to them lot at the pit. They are an elite counter attacking unit with possibly the quickest front line in world footy. I’d be instructing my players to sit deeper regardless if we had a better side

Simple isn't it. Guardiola best manager of all time? Give me a break, mourinho never struggles to adapt to a different team /style.

I think the RS should rename their stadium like Huddersfield to John Smith because they're so bitter. Look at these comments from today just because Stoke didn't roll over for them. Pure delusion and hatred.

Johnny Magrinho: Are people actually doubting whether or not Liverpool will beat Stoke today? Is that real? It’s going to be an absolutely comprehensive victory. Easily 3 or 4 nil.

Thomas Hollern: Fair play to Klopp for fielding a strong team but the risk of injury is massive. I wouldn't be surprised to see a red card in this game. At the moment the only way to stop Salah is to kick him... if you can get near him that is!

Kolo Kenneth: Stoke are desperate to see Klopp make an early, enforced change.

Paul: Stoke have not done well, not one shot on target in 45 minutes and well down on possession! No wonder they are going down!

Stephen: Stoke going old school Stoke today

Tobias: Stoke shirt pulling, arm pulling, body checking their way to a point at Anfield... Lambert taking them down in traditional Stoke style.

Jack D: So this is how it feels to watch a game at Old Trafford this season...

Khan Karn: And they say big teams get decisions. As clear a hand ball as any.

Ryan Lloyd: Is Andre Marriner a Chelsea supporter?

Ibrahim Keshk: Does the ref think all Stoke players are goalkeepers?

Ash Williams: Four times Pieters has his hands grabbing a shirt or round a neck.

Khan Karn: How costly would the ref error be if Liverpool lose to Chelsea and miss out on top four. Could happen too.


One match, just one bloody match, not going to into the constant moaning about penalties, think they asked for eight of them.

 

[Seathestars]

Seriously

 

[toffee-L]

Jurgen Klopp said after the game today that if "football is fair" then Liverpool will get the points they need to qualify for the champions league for next season. You just couldn't make it up.

I hate them. I truly hate them.

 

[stony]

Can't post it because I'm on my phone, but there's a nice clip of Salah throwing punch at a Stoke player on Twitter.

 

[USABlue]

Still a good chance for them to blow top 4

They would need to draw at home against Brighton which, whilst not impossible, is pretty unlikely. It's a shame Chelsea have come with too late a run.
