RAWK Goes Into Meltdown 24/25 Edition - AMAD Bunch of Scousers!

I'm not reading that. These relationship analogies from fans of football clubs or players is tediously frequent and always uncomfortabley creepy.
 
Damn I had to really go looking for this thread :annoyed:.

Anyways, here's a funny twitter post from a Pool fan having a meltdown about TAA leaving


It amazes me how so many people around Liverpool seem to think Real Madrid is like Preston compared to them. The amount of talk I've heard from some of their fans about how it's a "bad career move" is funny. More money, more fame, better squad, better chance of individual honours, more fans, more titles, more European trophies. What's the downside?
 
AMAD Bunch of Scousers! New
From official Liverpool forum.

Completely disgusted by that performance.

Go now Trent so we can get on with our season.

Not our best performance but it’s a point from a team who’ll revert back to their relegation battle after this game

What a disappointment. Slot should have brought Bradley on after going up 2-1. This is on him IMO. At least Arsenal dropped points too.

Dreadful. Robbo and trent pathetic. Jones awful. Forwards poor. Only macallister and grav stood up. First time all season I would question this side. We looked like we didn't want the fight. We have another 19 of these if we want to win this league.

Bottlers!

Bottled a huge opportunity fuming
 
2 points dropped against one of the worst teams in the league. Shocking performance

Watch Southampton beat united next week, they’re garbage, we made them look good. Just a terrible performance

It should never have been a fair result in the first place. United are crap and are 14th in the league. We should have pummelled them. Really poor team and tactical performance today.

Poor performance. The players were like jogging around like they already won the match from 1st min and sloppy passing especially TAA. Jones again kept holding onto the ball, not sure when will he ever mature. 50-50 challenges and we were losing them. Disgraceful performance.

Horrible performance not able to take control and to keep possession and lucky that they wasted more clear chances than we did. Very disappointing also from Arne, everyone could see what happened on our right back side an he didn‘t change it.

Of all players to have a crap game today.

I want Trent gone. I've had enough of his attitude.
 
Slots worst game of the season. You see your right back is not even trying yet you bring on a totally useless clown in nunez instead of subbing trent with connor.
Slot cost us the win with his bad decisions
I truly don't know what world those who think TAA is the best RB in the world live in. Was he for a time? Yes. Could he be again? Yes. But not with this effort. Just pure laziness. Once Bradly is up to speed, he should start.
Was really looking forward to Mark Goldbridge highlights before this game. Now what am I supposed to watch?
Really nice of Slot to sacrifice the game for Trent's ego. Lovely gesture.

I am speaking after the high of the game, sell Trent, Bradley ftw, etc....

Otherwise United got into our heads. Again.
Trent Alexander Arnold is a disgrace
You're now counting on beating everton in another derby, that's just not as straightforward as people think it is. We are not ruthless enough, we are not humble enough, we are not working hard enough to win this league. So frustrating
Can anyone explain what Robertson was thinking at the end there holding Amad so blatantly for what seemed an age? He didn't even let go when Amad was clearly complaining to the linesman, just genuinely one of the dumbest things I've seen all season.

We continue to have a fullback problem.
What irritates me the most is that United were crap. Everything that went well for them was because of the way we played.
Won xG by 2.87 to 1.03. Bit stupid to throw it away by being sloppy but we are too good to do so often enough for anyone else to have a chance.
 
I'm enjoying all the "ah well, y'see, United always raise their game against us" flavour coping in the context of us never doing anything but rolling over and having our tummies tickled there for about a decade.

Exactly. Even under Fergie, we often lost there. We’ve been historically shit away to them.
 
Thank the lord for Harry Maguire
Honestly, my life flashed before me when it dropped to him. Thought I was going to be hibernating for a month if that went in.
Not often you see two teams playing three at the back at Anfield
That was one of the worst right back performances I can remember.
United were very good today. Which is infuriating because they've been dogshit all season, and will probably be dogshit again in their next match.
Probably the second best team there, take a point which is poor.

Some pretty appalling individual performances. Macca was outstanding
Conditions obviously were a factor but Trent needs to be subbed much earlier and id have switched konate for Quansah once we went up as his legs were shot. The state of that c*nt Martinez celebrating like he won the World Cup when he scored. Truly pathetic.
Speaking of which, a cameraman was nearly seriously hurt when those pricks started piling over the hoardings. All the while being encouraged by their twat players.
Need more.
 
Did Amad score a hat trick? He’s walking off with the match ball. Keeping the ball after scoring an equalising goal at Anfield shows their mentality these days. Putting in a bit of effort against us is more important than anything else.

Much like the current Arsenal side have become everything Wenger hated this lot have become everything Ferguson hated. He called sides like this cheats. Cheating their fans and their manager(s) because they can get up for a game against a big team but can’t be arsed in 80% of their other games.

You won’t see anything anywhere near that effort against Southampton.

So that was Amorim masterclass?

This is the peak of their season. A draw at Anfield. They'll continue to be mid-table water treaders, and come the end of the season we won't even remember this game. The Manc Everton.
This every day of the week. For them, it's a "win". Very Everton behaviour. 6 points clear. With a game in hand. Suck on that.
It was their one good game in 5, and the drill will be much the same as after the Manchester derby.

They’ll have their open top bus parade during the week. They’ll embarrass themselves with some sort of “banter” online, and then by midweek they’ll remember they’re 13th, and a point hasn’t really done anything for them.

Then they’ll lose to Arsenal in the cup, be crap against Southampton, publicly soil themselves at home to Rangers in Europe and then Neville will be back to whining about them the worst team in the league. Like clockwork this lot.
We've seen this game-raising energy before against us and then City last season, before they revert to type in the smaller games and as they can't replicate the one off, manic, nothing to lose performance every week. It's what we used to do them when we were shite and they were running away with the league.

It also shows how small time mentally their players are that they are walking off celebrating a draw instead of being embarrassed their billion pound squad is 13th. Keep your head down and get down the tunnel.
 
They'll get embarrassed again before the month is out. This was their World Cup final, and frankly, we were dogshit. They'll underperform again quite soon because that's who they are; no consistency. Of course, we'll be treated to more Manc propaganda before they get beaten by Southampton or someone.
For years & years when Ferguson was manager United fans used to claim opposition teams were 'game raising c*nts' if they had the audacity to take points off their beloved Manchester United. Shoe is well & truly on the other foot now.
That was their cup final and they won a draw with 5 at the back they can’t play like that against fellow lower table teams. At the end of the day We are still competing for the league, they got a point in their fight to stay out of the relegation battle. They celebrated a draw at Anfield like Burnley or Ipswich would. Their reality that onr draw won’t change. Congratulations boys
They’ve taken four points from their last seven games, which is relegation form, but those four points have come against Man City and us. The fans have been doing metaphorical laps of honour online, whilst the players have done actual ones on the pitch, which speaks volumes about the mentality running right through that club these days.

Ah yes, who would celebrate a 2-2 draw at Anfield other than relegation fodder?

Exactly. Even under Fergie, we often lost there. We’ve been historically shit away to them.

I've just checked this out of curiosity, and I'm not sure I'd say it was "shit".

Fergie's overall record there (in the league) was W11, D6, L10. Add the games at OT in too and his record against them was W26, D13, L15, with an aggregate score of United 74 - 64 Liverpool (and 33 of those goals came at Anfield).

Our record at Anfield post Fergie is W2, D5, L5, and our overall record is W6, D9, L9, with an aggregate score of United 22 - 42 Liverpool (with just 6 of those goals coming at Anfield).

We also went a 12 year period (the same as we've now hit post-Fergie) between 1996/97 and 2007/08 where our record at Anfield was W8, D2, L2, and our overall record against them was W15, D4, L6. The aggregate score was United 36 - 19 Liverpool (we scored 19 at Anfield, they scored 6 at OT).

Fergie's final 12 seasons saw us have a home record of W9 D0 L3, an away record of W6, D2, L4 (overall of W15, D2, L7).

Even now, in the worst extended period we've had in decades, and the best they've had in decades, their overall record of W9, D9, L6 hardly screams "dominance" in the same way Fergie's best periods against them did.

I guess what makes it seem shit was that they often had bang average squad and players but somehow won against us multiple times even when we're miles ahead of them. Game raising bastards. Players like Riise, Bellamy somehow reached their peak when they played us. Then they went on assistless & goaless streak for 8 matches after that.

They’d say the same thing after last night tbf. For years they were doing what we do these days - turn up for the big games and get a result, then lose to Portsmouth the week after. Consistency was always their problem in the league, they could always beat most teams on their day.

You say that, but they reached two CL finals (winning one) in that 1996/97 to 2007/08 run, won the UEFA Cup, two FA Cups, two League Cups, and only finished outside of the top four three times, one of which was when they won the CL.

They were nowhere near as "bang average" as we've been these past 12 years during our best spells against them under Fergie.

I know a lot of people liked to laugh at that at the time. But there was a bit more to it than just celebrating a draw.

I think they lost 2-1 to a late goal in a previous game and Klopp made some comment about the fans leaving early. Then they equalised in the last minute of that game and that was him sending the team over to thank the fans for staying.

As much as I dislike him & them, you have to say from a mentality point of view, it was a pretty bold move by him to do that. He created a bond there and got the fans to stay onside even when they were losing and implanted the never give up attitude in the squad.

To be fair in the last 12 years we've won 2x FA Cups 2x League Cups and 1 Uefa Cup. So there's only a flukey CL win for them making the difference.
 
I love how we're now the game raising twats after they'd done it to us for the best part of 25 years.

Not the thread for this but they're right, why do we need to play Liverpool to look like we're up for it?
 
The state of that c*nt Martinez celebrating like he won the World Cup when he scored. Truly pathetic.

They're mad. Yeah it was truly pathetic for a defender to celebrate scoring a cracker for his second goal for the club, away at the league leaders, after the season we've been having so far. :lol:

I’ll never understand people criticising other people for celebrating goals. What else are you supposed to do when you score?

Not really the thread for it but you're right it'll all be for nothing if we can't build on this performance. How we perform in the next run of games will show us what Amorim is made of and if he has the ability to inspire and motivate them to keep the effort and intensity up consistently.

The point I'm making is that we just got a very unexpected result against the team currently leading the Premier League, away from home, while we've been at a very low ebb, and their fans are mocking us and our players for celebrating.

They celebrated the same result, at home, against a West Brom side that were firm lower mid-table/relegation fodder, and you're explaining that away as perfectly understandable?

To be fair in the last 12 years we've won 2x FA Cups 2x League Cups and 1 Uefa Cup. So there's only a flukey CL win for them making the difference.

We've not come close to a flukey CL win, and they not only managed one, but reached a separate final, as well as the semi-finals in that time, and also had a far more consistent record in the league than us.

You know they've lost their heads and are grasping at straws when they post some faux-outrage about a cameraman apparently being "nearly seriously hurt".

In all of the euphoria of celebrating a goal, won't someone please think of the sports photographer?!

What I'm saying is, that wasn't just about celebrating a random 2-2 draw at home to West Brom.

There's a bit more context to that situation, where Klopp had previously questioned the fans for leaving early. So, when they stayed and they got that equaliser it was about appreciating the fans support. The long term impact was to create a rapport with the fans and the players that neither will ever give up.

After that, I honestly couldn't tell you how many times they came from behind to win under Klopp.

That season, precisely once, away to Palace.

The following season, four times (Swansea away, Stoke home, Burnley home and Stoke away). Stoke at home they were in front by half time, Burnley at home by the hour mark, and Stoke away with about 20 to go, so it was hardly a string of "never say die" late comebacks.

It was twice the season after that. Leicester at home (level just after half-time, in front with 15 to go) and Palace away.

I don't think that 2-2 at home to West Brom was still present in the memory the season after, given it was four seasons prior and most of the squad that day were no longer at the club, and I'm not sure 7 more times over the next 2 and half seasons is particularly impressive.

I don’t know, mate. You’re talking about it almost 10 years later. They probably remember it.
 
They're mad. Yeah it was truly pathetic for a defender to celebrate scoring a cracker for his second goal for the club, away at the league leaders, after the season we've been having so far. :lol:
I thought Salah was shameless the way he celebrated that pen after doing nothing all game.
