Liverpool Thread - Premier League Champions* 2019/20 (Part 1)

bad luck guys
at least you still have plenty to play for this season

Would be quite prestigious to be the first ever winners of the Europa League...

Sad, sad people.

Brilliant.

Keep it coming lads. Get it all out of ya system...

"We've played fantastically well tonight "- Gerrard. Oh how standards have fallen!

tough day

thats about right

He has been poor for most of this season, to be honest. He was great last season, though.

Time for a clean out and start with your manager that has lived on false hope and fan patience for probably the last 5 years.

N'Gog played well got a goal, we won and we qualified for the Europa League!

Rafa > Anything. Obviously! Sadly, for those fans who want to get rid of Rafa at least, we can't even afford it! I'm happy to keep Rafa. We're improving (albeit, this season has been awful!) but we simply don't have the money to get rid of Rafa and then have the patience of another 5 year plan with another manager, who has less money than Sunderland! I fully support Rafa anyway, regardless of this season and how people turn on him- or indeed how he "manipulates" the fans. Yip, you've got it: In Rafa We Trust.

Ignoring what United fans think, Liverpool are a big club but that have not delivered nor lived up to their potential for far too long. Decisions and responsibilities must start at the top.

Then Yanks Out! Yeah, Rafa makes some bad decisions- why not bring Aquilani on etc? But so does everyone. I wonder how United would be if they'd sacked Mr Ferguson at the start of his reign. And Rafa has done a f**k load better than he did. For every Josemi or Keane, there's a Torres or Mascherano. We made some decent purchases in Momo, Bellamy, Crouch etc. I'm loving Johnson at this stage. I adore our 4-2-3-1 formation, but it's never going to look as good when there's no Stevie or Torres consistantly playing there. Rafa has built a solid spine (especially when Xabi was there) he has Yossi in scintillating form, Johnson and young Argentine called Insua who is slowly learning. So even the width is improving immensely. Our defence is all over the place at the moment, but that's just the form (of the past few months!). Over Rafa's time we have generally been solid at the back. He made a great purchase in Reina. Our first XI is as good as any in the world, bar none. Our squad is thin, yip, so there's room for improvement. But we don't have enough money to afford have 20mil quid players sitting on the bench. We have room for Voronin! Rafael Benitez; the right man for Liverpool.

It's all well and good calling for the Managers head but who would replace Rafa right now?
I'm for keeping him at the moment but some of his decision makings are rather baffling. Maybe it's the pressure and stress of player injuries, backroom politics etc but it needs to be sorted first. When the players see the Manager is in control they will follow.

 sorry i just have to laugh but bad luck

Hiddink? He won't want to stay in Russia I'd imagine

Hicks and Gillett make Ashley look like an amateur.  The way they're going, the Reds will be starting the '14 season in the Championship as "McDonalds Liverpool".

I don't even want to speculate on what Anfield will end up being called.

Sucks to be a Liverpool fan right now.

 

Sell Torres to make up for the loss in CL TV revenue imo.

 

Shame - it was your turn to knock us out this year!!

who is ''us''?

Condolences lads. Honestly. A sh*t season just got work. Benetiz to get the chop?

They'll have to review all the facts.

*ba-ding*

His username is Jose's dog. Take a punt.

God. Some of you guys are hilarious. Rafa is completely calm, which is exactly what you want. We didn't set the world on fire today, but a clean sheet and a win are something we can build on (and haven't had for a while!). We got knocked out because of previous games, not this one.
