Dreading this Mob actually winning the league, we will never hear the last of it and the media will have a Liverpool wet dream for months :eek: Hope we beat them and i hope city beat them as if they slip up again it will be the greatest thing ever :devil:

Because you literally can't beat a 100 point season. I can't see another manager who'd do that.

No guaranteee we keep this level up or that we win the league this season, but it's clear City and Liverpool and by extension Guardiola and Klopp, are a cut above any other sides/managers in the league. Can't see that changing.

Yeah just like nobody saw Jose being a cut above the rest changing etc. It's nonsensical to refuse to be able to even fathom change. Nothing has permanance. Your clubs ability to win major trophies certainly didn't.

Klopp will be clear as the best manager in the league once Pep inevitably leaves. With a squad full of players hitting their prime years and tied down to long term deals and further improvements envisagable.

Nice try.

Other than blind hope, what evidence do you have that suggests a period of dominance for Liverpool?

If City had to play them again I'd still see it possibly happening. But then again City just seem a bit shit in recent weeks. Ever since that loss to Chelsea they've lost their momentum completely. And should have buried Chelsea in the 1st half of that game. For me one team in this title race has been more focused than the other with the rub of green generally going their way too.

Steady on. Let's start with winning tonight. And even if we do win it, the competition is far too strong for any team to have an era of domination.
 
If they win tonight, it looks almost inevitable they will end the season as EPL winners. They could still hit a patch of poor form and/or a spate of injuries and suspensions, but a win tonight for them will leave City with a lot to do, to say the least.
There are probably some twists and turns to come yet, but Liverpool have the upper hand now, it's theirs to lose or throw away.
Whatever the keyboard equivalent of words sticking in your throat is, I just had that typing this.

Can't see us topping Liverpool next season. We don't even know who our manager will be, or if we'll have a DoF. Liverpool meanwhile are 4 years into Klopp's grand plan, have everything sorted behind the scenes in terms of Michael Edwards etc and will already know exactly who they want to bring in and let go come the summer.

City will spend another 300 million and decide the title in the summer anyway. Pricks.

We'll need another year for sure. Best we can hope for is a challenge in 20/21 when hopefully we make 20 21 :)

:lol: True

Yeah, optimistically we're 2 years away from winning the league. Anything can happen of course but we're lacking in the football side of things on & off the pitch compared to Liverpool and City right now.
 
I think ''getting a few breaks'' is getting changed into ''entirely by luck'' and there is the refs indulging Cheaty Mo and his cheating, obviously - :D. The injuries have done this to City mainly, imo. They don't realy have a convincing replacement for Aguero or Fernandinho. And they have missed KDB for long periods too.

But there needs some sort of turnaround in this 'luck' for City to have any chance now.

As a last resort, I reckon the mods should temporarily lift their ban on wishing for injuries isn't it? - :D.
 
Sadly it looks like after 29 years this is Liverpools year. They have way to much stability and luck to feck this up, the best thing we can do is make sure they don't win it next season by winning it ourselves.
 
Richard Attenborough, Willie Thorne, King Richard III.... pull your fecking fingers out!!!

KDB played in all the games they lost. They've had a full squad for a few weeks now. We've just been better than them so far.
 
They have won it. Don't think otherwise . Not worth the torture and self harm.

Just wishing they get knocked out of Europe asap otherwise ...... that would be suicidal!

I understand what you are doing by repeatedly writing it's decided and done.
If we do win, you'll be prepared and will be able to write "told ya!".
If we don't, you won't stop mocking us for failing to meet expectations that you cultivated.
In reality, though, there's lot of points to play for and multiple teams can win it. We're not playing in a one team league.

I wonder if this is the reason for the fall out with Buvac, AKA The Brains? Maybe Klopp wanted to adopt a newer pragmatic style but Buvac wanted to stick to his tried and trusted gung ho approach?

Hope that includes Utd !
 
I’m never comfortable with this team given our recent history. If we win today and keep a 7 pt lead after playing united the comfort will settle in.

He didn't need to beat it. They're significantly less consistent than they were last season.

Yeah, having hundreds of millions to spend helps a tad.

The point is Guardiola is the best it gets for them. Even this year if they come second they'll do it by having a season which is good enough to win the league 90% of the time.

Are you actually comparing Liverpool's spending to City?
 
If they win tonight it's entirely in their hands, with a slightly easier set of fixtures left. This might actually be the year. I think if they get close and blow it again, it would break them as a club.
 
That poll might be actually become reasonable in 1 and a half weeks time.

Liverpool fixtures Leicester, an injury ravaged West Ham and Bournemouth. All with a good few days in between.

City Arsenal on Sunday, Everton midweek, Chelsea Sunday. One dropped result and potentially 9+ behind

Me: 'No guarantee we win the league or keep this level up'.

You: 'it's nonsensical to refuse to even fathom change'.

Dafuq bro
 
We have to win 13 of our remaining 15 league games to clinch it from here (assuming City win every game they have left in the league).

There is absolutely nothing good coming from these shithouses winning the league but I do believe it will cause us to react in a massive way. We can't have City and Liverpool winning the league since SAF retired.

Sure, but they wont need to be as good as they were last season to win the league in the future, and there is no guarantee you will maintain this level under Klopp next season, so the idea that you'll have a period of dominance just because you're having a great campaign this year is questionable at best.


You have both spent shit loads of money on your squad. You haven't spent as much as City but you've still invested heavily. Other managers don't get that luxury.

I assume you are referring to Poch?

Whatever Klopp has spent, the majority of it has been brought back in with sales or he has just bought well. Examples:


Decent money has been made from sales to the likes of Sakho, Benteke, Solanke, Ings, etc in his time here.

We sell someone like Coutinho and use the funds to buy a world class goalkeeper and a world class centre half.

Top players like Salah and Mane bought for less than what Pogba cost United


Klopp has had in no way a bottomless put like Pep who could just throw money at players.

When did I say otherwise? I just said that both Klopp and Pep have had the luxury of spending lots of money and not being particularly held back by a wage structure. Other managers don't have that, for example guys like Poch or Emery.

He's had full board backing to invest in the team and has broken records when signing a keeper and a CB. His midfield costs hundreds of millions.

Pogba's class, how about how much Keita and Fabinho cost you?
 
They’ve spent a fortune - but who hasn’t.

Let’s be honest, in hindsight everyone on this forum would of paid the 75m for VvD to get him here.

If they win tonight, I can’t see them not winning it. They’d have a 7 point lead, and they’ve only dropped 9 points all season so far. City would basically have to win every game from now till the end of the season.

Sell Kane. Luxury achieved. It's not rocket science. :rolleyes:

Nope.

Van Djik for one is on wages we could never afford. If we sold Kane we would still have to stick to our structure which would mean bringing in lesser talents.

Also, even with 'net spend' taken in to account, you have spent far more than us as a club, both in terms of wages and transfers. You mugged off Barcelona for Coutinho who was quality but never as good/important to you as Kane is for us, Salah had already come in and replaced him as the star man in your team.

All the big teams can spend money except for Spurs and Arsenal. The reason he's been allowed to spend so much this season is because of the sale of Coutinho otherwise our spending would be about 100m less i'd guess. Remember we would of bought Fekir too if he hadn't failed his medical.

There's no way any of the other top 6 were going to catch City without spending money, last season they were miles ahead of everyone. Even this season their squad is superior to everyone else.

I believe Van Dijk is on about 165k a week which isn't very much now for a top top player, isn't Kane on 200k? If Spurs don't break that wage structure soon you'll find it very hard to compete unless you get really lucky with signings.
 
Sadly can see the bindippers getting there 1st premier league , and 29 years from there last division 1 .. been a long time coming but they had to get it one way or another. There's to loose now if they do throw it away it will be there Devon Loch. Just don't watch the TV or read paper for about 2 months or 20 yrs because you won't hear the end of it.

There's already hundreds of so called pool fans who but a year ago followed other sides, if the don't win it wonder where they will go then..

I didn't say they can't. All I said was that some good managers in the league don't have the luxury of being able to spend hundreds of millions on players. Guardiola and Klopp are great managers, but the former in particular has been able to go out and buy, buy, buy. Neither excelled in the premier league until they spent huge amounts of money.

Van Djik's basic wage is very reasonable IIRC, but has a shit ton of relatively easy to achieve bonuses which boosts it up a lot.
