It’s fecking depressing how well they’re doing. It’s even more depressing that we’re having our worst season since the fall of the Soviet Union.
Liverpool 2024-25 | Inevitably winning the quadruple
- Thread starter Sassy Colin
- Start date
Not to mention you’ve to come through a double header against Newcastle in the cup while they get to repeat todays stroll against Spurs.
Just like last season, the paranoia on here about Liverpool is absurd. They collapsed spectacularly last time.
I didn't say you were injury free, I compared it to Arsenal of last season who weren't injury free either, but did have our main guys available for the majority of games.
Allison has been unavailable but you do have the best No 2 in the league in Kelleher.
Just having a quick look, it seems Van Dijk has been available 16/16 games, Robertson 15/16, Trent 15/16, Gravenberch 16/16, Mac Allister 15/16, Szoboszlai 16/16, Diaz 16/16, Gakpo 16/16, Nunez 15/16, Salah 16/16.
The oddest thing about Liverpool is that some serious football people forgot that they got 82 points last season with a brand new midfield. Of course that was the start of something rather than being an anomaly.
And just like every season in the last 20, Arsenal will fail to take advantage. No doubt another trophy less season.
Every chance they smash Fergies best season points wise. Mad when you look at their team and it seems rather average outside of Salah
Injuries to Salah and VVD would stop them. Luck is on their side.
The competition is rather average at best that's why.
Annoyingly was hoping for a dip post klopp but they've seem to found a better base defensively which is a great platform for winning games. Luck here and there but there isn't really anybody to challenge them. Winning the game in hand to go 7 points clear near the half way mark means a team (Chelsea) has got to, least, better than by three games in the second half
Fair play I guess, they’ve spent their money well in the past 5 and even 10 years. By many metrics, their spend compares more to the likes of West Ham and Aston Villa than the teams they compete with at the top of the table.
I especially fecking hate it when we’re so piss poor in comparison

Is it? Allison, Van Dijk, Konate, and Alexander-Arnold are all among the best current players in their respective positions. I'm not sure about their midfield because they are all relatively young/new, but there is a lot of promise there as well. I guess up front they have less quality and Salah is carrying them there; but I wouldn't say that for the team overall. And anyway, no team has top players in every position.
