That's the thing, we should've banged in three own goals in the last minute on SundayYep much better to lose 9-0 than win 1-0. It's about entertainment, see.

They all look disabled? Have a word with yourself.They all look like they do to be fair.
It was never going to be a free ride; however, with Suarez and BR's team finally beginning to gel, there was a window of opportunity. That opportunity became optimism once David Moyes started to fail and as you mentioned we mounted a challenge. We sold Suarez to Barca and had a lot of cash to spend. In order for us to close the gap, we needed a strong transfer window. We courted Alexis Sanchez, he chose London. We then spent money on average players that didn't even keep us on par of team that challenged for the title.
BR left, in came Klopp. Supposed to fit in with FSG's strategy of taking the club forward. For once, it seemed that a manager who was capable of achieving the FSG model of developing talent instead of buying quality. That approach has lead to our best players leaving for greener pastures, while our closest rivals continue to buy quality and get better and better. We, on the other hand, have had two summers to deal with the frailties of our defense and have yet to address it. We played Lucas and Klavan in Central Defense, while a French International in the squad sits on the bench.
This summer was supposed to be a massive summer for us. We have a chance to make it to the Champions League and what we needed was a statement of intent from the owners and the manager that showed we care enough to stay there long term. There is something fundamentally dysfunctional. Whether it is at the ownership level, the management level or a combination, only people behind the scenes know. We have been courting targets this summer and have gone a very wrong way about it while others have quietly gone and done their business. Our best player seems to be on the verge of leaving and we still don't have any sort of replacement lined up.
It seems our team will be good going forward and scoring goals, but you have to ensure the other team scores 1 less than you, else it doesn't matter! Ever since Steve Clarke left the backroom staff, we have not had a solid defense (post-Rafa / Pako mind you). In addition, there was Jamie Carragher who didn't mind grabbing someone and shouting in their face. I don't see that in today's team.
Man Utd signed Lukaku, who was easily one of the best strikers in the PL. You play him around better players and the results are going to be obvious. Our best striker can't last a sub appearance without hurting himself. The comparisons/contrasts can go on forever and you can really pick ANY topic and beat a dead horse to prove your point the fact is, until the glaring fundamental dysfunctionality if fixed at LFC, I, unfortunately, see the gap widening over time and sadly makes me wait more and more to see us win a trophy. And as far as the referring decisions/excuses go, let's not open a can of worms as we all know your beloved manager has spent considerable time in the stands bemoaning referees and giving multiple excuses when it suits him
As I said, we can pick anything and keep going in circles

Change the rules to make Liverpool good again…
So, Man City, United and Spurs concede no goals. Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea concede three each. That’s the first three places in the league confirmed then.
Which leads me to a conclusion – there’s a basic flaw in football. Primarily, football is a form of entertainment. Goals are the pinnacle of that entertainment, and yet the teams that generally top the league are those that are best at denying the opposition from scoring, thereby diminishing the entertainment. Obviously they have to score themselves, but you only have to look at my Liverpool on a fairly regular basis to see that that’s not enough to win.
So I have a new, radical way of rewarding teams – goals per match, plus goals scored. After the first week the table looks like this:
Arsenal 11 (7+4)
Leicester 10 (7+3)
Liverpool 9 (6+3)
Watford 9 (6+3)
Man Utd 8 (4+4)
Burnley 8 (5+3)
Chelsea 7 (5+2) etc
Call it bonkers if you want, and there are major flaws which would need tweaking (e.g. You get more points for winning 3-2 than for winning 3-0, in fact you get more points for losing 3-2 than winning 3-0! Sorry, Huddersfield.)
So, yeah, it is bonkers. But it’d be more entertaining, wouldn’t it?

Yes. Top row, 3rd from right. Don't tell me, you just noticed that today!
Winning the league is not the priority of a lot of teams these days. It's more profitable to be in CL every year than win the league once
You see something alternative every time...
It's every Brazilian footballers dream to not win the Premier Leagueso just the 3 seasons with the 2 best players in the world, in one of the most famous teams in the world, who regularly win League Titles and Champions leagues. On 3 times his current wages as well
Or 3 more seasons at loserpool under flopp
Which will he choose?
He will have a brief patch where he is available for a couple of months and he will be lauded "it's like having a new signing" before he stubs his toe and is out for a month.
Then it turns septic and it becomes 3 months.
Then he has a headache and he is out for the season.
This one gets me every time

If you're talking about the guy on the right of the bloke in a green jacket, I'm pretty sure he has a visible disability.

I like the gormless one in front of camera phone guy making the wanker hand gesture. He looks like he would have trouble crossing a road on his own.
WTF!
Has anyone mentioned the young Austin Powers to the left of the guy in the green coat?
Y'man to the right of him gives him a quick sly glance after what looks like him making a downward movement - totally pickpocketed him.I like the gormless one in front of camera phone guy making the wanker hand gesture. He looks like he would have trouble crossing a road on his own.
Green coat man looks like he gives the bloke in front a involuntary jab in the back as he shouts 'twat' and thats why he turns around. Either that or showers him in spit.

But you see something new everytimeThese fecking Crowd GIFS are exactly the same every time you see them & anyone commenting on them in any way at all should be thread ban-hammered forthwith, if not fifthwith as well, la'. #JustSaying
...been saying for two years now that Liverpool's midfield is full of slow, pedestrian players.
Just leave someone else back
* looks at defensive options
Ummmm Houston we have a problem
Usually the other fullback, at least. Moreno's pace is perfect for the role.
So we switch fullbacks and leave a hole ... somewhere. If only we still had Lucas
Yeah someone please lock this thread, we drew because of an offside goal time to move on. Karma will give us some luck later in the season.

Teams winning 4-0 would score three own goals in injury time to give themselves three extra points.
Genius.

How does an own goal count? The other team didn't score it? So couldn't shit house teams just score 1000 own goals and end up near the top of the table anyway?
This is great, i enjoyed reading through all these
