RAWK goes into Meltdown 20/21 Edition

[No Idea For Nickname]

No longer mentality monsters.

.

Our form is a fecking disgrace. Ho ho ho not good enough at all, 2009 too many draws all over again.
It's there for the Mancs, we are giving it to them on a plate.

Disgraceful play.

..

We're dropping so many points to absolute shite. It simply isn't good enough. I'll leave it to the top minds of RAWK to keep telling us that no other team can possibly challenge us.

..

4 minutes of injury time and we pass it about at the back for like 3 minutes of it

..

The keeper is holding Manes leg... if only we had some kind of tv reviews system

If that's Bruno Fernandes getting held, that's a pen.

..

I am definitely getting 2008-2009 vibes again when we went top of the league after that 0-0 draw against West Ham. Let's get in another CB and a winning run now that Thiago is back. That guy is on another level

.

Well we won’t be running away with this title any time soon.

Awful finishing from the lads.. it’s so frustrating. Our away form is a joke at the moment.

 

[SalfordRed18]

Yeah its funny, but lets be honest they will probably get the last laugh.

Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

 

[AltiUn]

Yeah its funny, but lets be honest they will probably get the last laugh.

For sure, nice to dream though. I fully expect City to end up their closest challengers too, as long as we keep picking up wins and improving then I'll be happy.

 

[The holy trinity 68]

Of course. Still think they will run away with it but let us laugh at them while we can.

I think Man City will win it this year, if they win their 2 games in handover Liverpool, City will only be 1 point behind. They have been playing well of late and are in good form. The reason I say them over us is because their squad and manager have the experience of winning the league already.

The good thing this year is there looks to be an actual title race and we are involved in it, which is exciting.

 

[SirAnderson]

The keeper is holding Manes leg... if only we had some kind of tv reviews system


That cracked me up nicely.

 

[Drainy]

For sure, nice to dream though. I fully expect City to end up their closest challengers too, as long as we keep picking up wins and improving then I'll be happy.

Absolutely, it's great that we're continuing to progress and maybe in a year or two we'll have a great team, but this season we're too dependent on individuals to produce moments and I expect us to come unstuck eventually with poor form or unavailability of our best players.

 

[Badunk]

 

[ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg]

If we come second, I’ll volunteer to write the book.

 

[tomaldinho1]

The keeper is holding Manes leg... if only we had some kind of tv reviews system


That cracked me up nicely.

If you watch the replay it's even funnier
At one point genuinely has his whole leg in both hands over his shoulder like a Christmas ham

 

[Giggsy13]

I was waiting for one of those animals to complain about the fact we got 5 minutes of injury time yesterday and boom, right on time.

 

[SirAnderson]

Oh football gods please please let it happen!!

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

Shaqiri on 91st min

I mean come on

think it was more Klopp sending a message......to Mo

--

Playing Jota in a meaningless game against Midtjylland is going to cost us a lot this season.

Christ, you're brave...

That was a gigantic feck up, risking our players against sunday league thugs that seemingly went into it trying to injure as many players as possible.
Convinced if we had Jota we would have won at least one of these 2 matches.

I'd ban everyone of you knob heads who keeps banging on about Diogo.

..

Awful. Two tougher games coming up now in the league and I would be surprised if got 6 points out of them.

..

Lots of pens and a lot of Jota. Mane has been poor in the box and Salah is very hot and cold. Zero consistency.

Salah is pretty much hot all the time, he’s had a 2 game drought now.

..

Positives:
- the number of clear cut chances we created.
- Thiago back on the pitch.
- clean sheet (really important save towards the end there by Allison).
- Top of the league.

Still, really frustrating to not stick one or two of those chances away. We’re gonna twat someone again very soon. Hopefully it’ll be Man United.

..

That relentless mentality seems to have deserted us, maybe missing VVD the leader more so than the player right now. Something isn't right.

Absolutely this. It is a worry. We're not as ruthless or aggressive in our play.

..

Ox and Shaq a total of about ten minutes combined in two games

Crying out for some freshness..

..

FFS the shitehouse Mancs can draw level!!! With fecking Ole in charge!!! The difference being they get a deflected 93 mum winner and we get feck all!!! This season is simply not going for us. No luck at all!!!

Exactly this. United somehow win that game tonight. Everything is going their way and nothing is going our way. Need more spark in midfield in games like today, we’d have won if someone like Thiago had started.

..

Can’t remember if Trent had COVID? But he’s absolutely gone off the boil this season.

Yeah this has been under discussed - he’s had a terrible season so far by his own standards

..

Very frustrating Newcastle rode their luck, but we should have won that.

Remember despite the 3000 injuries we've had already we are still top

..

Pundits keep saying we are gonna break away at the top over the next bunch of games. Not sure I see that after struggling to beat 2 awful teams.

I'm hoping Southampton come out to play and we just blitz them on the counter and break their press. Our breaking down static blocks is a tad worrying

..

At least Tiago looked a class above the stodge in midfield.

BTW what’s happened to Trent was abysmal.

..

I thought Van Dijk and Gomez getting injured would cost us points. Turns out it's at the other end. That was about as bad as it gets in terms of finishing.

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

People still think City are their biggest challengers

City are not the City they used to be.

 

[Pexbo]

What do you think I'm wanking to?

 

[SirAnderson]

People still think City are their biggest challengers

City are not the City they used to be.

This. But I'm fine with the spot light being on City as their challenges.
Let us keep chipping away without the tag of biggest challengers.

 

[Jibbs]

Absolutely, it's great that we're continuing to progress and maybe in a year or two we'll have a great team, but this season we're too dependent on individuals to produce moments and I expect us to come unstuck eventually with poor form or unavailability of our best players.

We have the strongest squad in the league on paper. We just lack mentality to win tough matches. It showed in glimpses yesterday. I have a glimmer of hope we can and we will win the league this year.

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

The 15 mins that Thiago played tells me that we will win this league comfortably. The guy is unbelievable

..

The two fattest, ugliest bastards in the league taking points off us in quick succession, ffs

..

The level has dropped in all aspects massively.

That last minute of us passing the ball about in our own half summed it up.

..

Don’t want to hear Klopp moaning about 5 subs anymore now. Shaqiri in the 91st minute was bizarre.

..

Our players (and Klopp) should be fined 2-week's wages for those performances against Fat Sam and Fat Head.

I don't understand that take. What is Kopp suppose to do when his star forward, that is making noises about leaving, is misses sitters?

..

We will lost the top spot very soon if we don't improve ASAP.

And we'll all be dead if the moon falls into the planet.
Stupid fecking post.

..

Shocking stuff to have ZERO wins vs Fulham, Newcastle, WBA and Brighton who are all feckING shite. Klopp needs to hammer these.

..

Utter shit again. At least Thiago is back, head and shoulders above everyone as soon as he came on.

..

Top of the league but this isn't title winning form. We aren't staying there with performances like that.

..

Does the manager have a plan b?
Subbing on a creative player with 3 min of injury time left...
We need to buy a defender & a striker. As much as salah scores goals but he misses is much more.

..

We've failed to beat West Brom, Fulham, Newcastle, and Brighton this season. That is dire. Barring the Brighton game which was a shit decision, no excuses for the rest. We're top still but not for much longer if this goes on. At least Thiago is back now.

..

This season continues to frustrate. On to Southampton away....

We're top of the league having lost our two starting centre halves to knee injuries. Get in the fecking bin

 

[thegregster]

All they need do is resign Lallana. As good as Bruno according to Rawk.

 

[dwd]

What is this mentality monsters shit?

 

[Bastian]

FFS the shitehouse Mancs can draw level!!! With fecking Ole in charge!!!

I love this the most

 

[Fridge chutney]

What is this mentality monsters shit?

This. What the feck is a mentality monster? A way of making fun of us or a way of praising Liverpool?

 

[Inter Yer Nan]

The bestest team ever is going to be level with the worstest team ever with Ole in charge and their best player is a poor man's Lallana. Amazing.

 

[clarkydaz]

ME MENTALITY MONSTER!!! HEAR ME ROOOARR!! - miaoww

 

[AltiUn]

They're like us with our new signings, I've no doubt Thiago will be amazing but he barely did anything when he came on. The way they're banging on you'd think he just came on and scored 4.

 

[Inter Yer Nan]

Wonder how they'd respond to PED claims given post covid they aren't half the time and are playing a different style?

 

[Member 101269]

People still think City are their biggest challengers

City are not the City they used to be.

Still think last year was Liverpool’s height their squad is old.

Klopp gone 21/22 season

 

[Giggsy13]

The dippers have had a ton of luck with injuries the past few years and now their moaning at the injuries they’re facing. I recall Fergie and our United teams facing even worse yet still challenging and winning trophies. I know it’s a bit of a long shot but I’d love to knock these insufferable pricks off the perch again.

 

[Sandikan]

If we come second, I’ll volunteer to write the book.

As in you're that sure we're winning it?!
Or you think we won't finish anywhere near as high as 2nd!?

 

[Sandikan]

Still think last year was Liverpool’s height their squad is old.

Klopp gone 21/22 season

Their front 3 are all 28/29, their full backs are young to mid 20s, keeper is ideal age etc/
I wouldn't write them off maybe at least until they're...not actually top for 1 game week!?

 

[Sandikan]

Imagine they get Salah or Mane out for a month or so. Then they'll know what injuries are.

 

[Alemar]

I've no doubt Thiago will be amazing but he barely did anything when he came on.

Thiago is injury prone, so it’s yet to be seen

 

[Chief123]

First non United match I've watched in over a year, and totally worth it

Can't wait to read their objective analysis and their other pearls of wisdom.

I’ve been watching virtually every arsenal game this season. It’s been an absolute joy when watched with AFTV.

 

[Dinghy]

We are too honest as a team. If Mané goes down, and stays down, a decision will need to be looked at, at least. Similarly, Fabinho should have done that after the WBA equaliser on Sunday. You have to go down. We are not being rewarded for being honest. Look at the disgraceful antics of fernandes last night, falling down clutching his face. He does this time after time every game, but no media outcry.
We shouldn't need this to be beating WBA and Newcastle though

 

[Sandikan]

Wonder how they'd respond to PED claims given post covid they aren't half the time and are playing a different style?

That guy wrote an article pre season saying they wouldn't win it this year as their doping cycle was past it's limit, and wouldn't work with the packed schedule.
Said about 2/3of their squad are on steroid inhalers.

Made me chuckle.

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

VAR on the Mane leg grab?
Klopp pretty philosophical there.

I don't think Fernandes would have passed up an opportunity to go down like a dying swan in that particular instance

I think the same. It's a joke that we didn't get the decision, but Mané is too nice, he's got to complain there.
Imagine someone doing that to Suarez. He'd be going mental, they'd have no choice but to check VAR.

Our lack of understanding of the dark arts is really starting to cost us. Mane goes down, and I reckon the VAR has no choice but to award the pen. But hey, we’ll get the fair play award.

.

World class GK
World class front three
World class full backs
World class centre backs (who are not fit so we need to sign 1-2)
1-2 World class midfielders, and we need to sign 2 CBs to release another (Fabinho)
Until we sort those problems we won't win the PL again which we should do

And yet we have the best squad in the league and are top.

..

Still top of the league. Everyone is dropping weird points this season and we're no different.
The difference with Thiago coming on was night and day. If we can keep him fit the rest of the season we win the league.

..

Where's those seven 1-0 wins?
Mental their keeper getting his first clean-sheet at home in 3 years.
Disappointing yet again that we're dropping points against teams in the bottom of the league.

..

You're not frustrated we've dropped 8 points to WBA, Newcastle, Fulham & Brighton? I guarantee Jurgen is!
As Jurgen just said 'I don't take any notice of where we are in the league as we're coming off the back of a few draws, but the fact that we're still top despite this shows other teams are struggling also'.
So basically, we're not doing great but we're top of a shit bunch. But that wont be the case if we dont turn this around. We'll soon find ourselves 4th, 5th, etc. You don't win a trophy for being top after 16 games ffs. So you get in the feckin bin.

..

No Penno

We are not trained at winning penalties.
VAR does not hand them out like candies. We need to earn them by crying, shrieking, throwing tantrums. We don't, so can't whine.
Let's learnt to be proper cheaters and shithouses before whining about VAR.

..

Matip out for three weeks

Ouch. Hope a CB is lined up ASAP.

..

One thing we miss is the Van Dijk crossfield to Salah and Trent.

..

I’m over the frustration already and looking forward to Southampton.
We are basically where we were before the Spurs game ... joint top if United win their game in hand.
Having a fit Thiago will make a massive difference going forward.

..

We just don’t have the intensity anymore.
Looking at our 2 fullbacks tonight, while they performed well, it was a step or 2 behind last season. What happened to our mentality monsters?
We have our own corners to turn now.

 

[Pexbo]

.

Woah

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

What is this mentality monsters shit?

Klopp said that about his team last season.

 

[Nickosaur]

Banging on about thiago as if he nutmegged the entire Newcastle team twice

 

[Gazautd18]

Injuries and Klippity"s intensity caught up wit them!

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

Moaning about injuries to central defenders....welcome to our world!
