Told y’all Liverpool was shit but no
So much this.All the bed wetters can chill now.
In Ole's interim season we got back into top 4 places with an amazing run and then blew it with De Gea throwing the ball in his own net every week. Though again players downing tools and over-performed during our winning run when in reality we were still shit.Not going to say I wasn't worried myself (particularly after losses at Brighton and West Ham) but all the talk that was going on of "oh we're going to bottle it again" have we really bottled many things over the years? Losing the title in 2012 after having 8 points more than City was perhaps the last time. We didn't crumble in 2015 for top 4 finish (though Spurs and Liverpool as contenders weren't really good) or in 2021 either. Also finished 3rd in 2020 after being so far away and won at Leicester on last day when it mattered the most.
Also in 2017, 2019 and 2022 it wasn't the case of bottling but just giving up - 2017 concentrating on Europa and 2019/2022 just giving up as soon as we got to April.
Yeah but we weren't in strong position in 18/19 only to bottle it later. It was just the case of new manager bounce and run of easy games ending. Then lost to Arsenal on 10th of March and already were out of top 4 after just one loss, never to get back into top 4. Same goes for 15/16 when we were never in top 4 since December.In Ole's interim season we got back into top 4 places with an amazing run and then blew it with De Gea throwing the ball in his own net every week.

And in Van Gaal's 2nd season we were very close to finishing top 4 but blew it against West Ham away if I remember correctly.
A loss is a win.Was talking to a Liverpool fan this morning.
Reckons Europa league isn't that bad and it's going to be nice to win a different trophy next year.
I always wondered where does this come from? Most of our journeys this season were to fecking Spain which isn't particularly far away from the UK. You can (and we have in the past) face Cypriot teams, for example, in the Champions League, too. Not to mention... Europe really isn't that big. Even Istanbul or St. Petersburg is only about a four-hour flight which isn't that much.Cannot stress how much I hate the Europa League. The long journeys
