Liverpool really want it and after the season we've had I'd settle for 4th in a heartbeat!

Sad that this is where we are but that has to be our aim now. The week after the international break is going to be really tough (City, Chelsea, Arsenal) but if we can pick up a decent few points in those then hopefully we can finish the season strong
And maybe we can put 7 past Real too 😋

Every single pundit/presenter has turned them down and they're hosting it without analysis tomorrow night.
To make things worse now Premier League players are getting involved and refusing to do any interviews with the BBC, with the full support of the PFA
It's a hilarious clusterfuck of epic proportions and it was all avoidable by the BBC not bowing to government pressure.

Personally I think a lot of whats happened this season is down to tactic/coaching. We don't have the players, especially in midfield to play the system that has done so well for us in the last 4 or 5 seasons. While Klopp has changed it somewhat, I don't think he has got the tactics right on a lot occasions.
Now we know a lot of this is down to recruitment in the last few windows, a far cry from our previous recruitment record. Lack of investment from the owners and an exodus of backroom staff haven't helped.
However, take Fabinho, lost it this season though he is still getting games. Henderson, no legs anymore. We have not much alternative though!
Salah playing out on the touchline for most of the season, why?
Trent still playing rightback. Move him to midfield. He worked in defense when Henderson could cover for him but no longer, he is at fault for a lot of goals. you might say well his attacking ability outweighs his defensive ability, not this season, he has 3 assists I believe. Get a proper fullback in and move him to the wing or sell him.
Sorry for the rant. We love Klopp for he has done, but another season like this with no investment, no one is bigger than the club and all that. Now we may get top four and win the quadruple next season and everything I've said above will look ridiculous but it's very frustrating sometimes when there is no plan B and he doesn't change anything and seems too loyal to players. Just look what happened at Dortmund.
RE: Soccer Chat - E.N. - 12-03-2023
While I agree that Klopp hadn't deviated from plan A, and that's really frustrating, I don't think the players are there to change much
Fab and Henderson keep playing because there is no one else. Keita, Ox, Jones, Arthur are all write offs. We all know we needed someone in the summer. It's very concerning that we didn't have a back up when we missed Tchoumeni
Trent can't play mid because there's no one to play in his place. Ramsey has been injured all season, Milner can't do it routinely, Gomez is out of position there
I'm not giving Klopp a free pass here, but I still believe in him completely. Hopefully he's given new players to work with in the summer

Klopp kind of reminds me of Fergie in a way that he is overlooking the glaring holes in midfield during transfer windows and buying forward players in the hope that they will create and score the goals to fire them forward.
My opinion here is he shouldn't have bought Nunez, and should have invested on reinforcements in the midfield, surely there was players there available that were better than what was on the books.

I saw it alright.
Some of the things he said are true. I especially liked his "dig" on the journalist about making excuses for the players.
Part of me thinks though that he just tries to get fired.
RE: Soccer Chat - Necro - 19-03-2023
Yeah 😂 if Conte was truly concerned about what's going on at Spurs he'd resign, he's only got about 12/13 weeks left on his contract anyways. But he's doing everything in his power to get fired and get a pay off. Unfortunately for him he's playing poker with Daniel Levy who won't cave and it could be a farcical state of affairs for Spurs now till the end of the season
RE: Soccer Chat - E.N. - 28-03-2023
Went to the match tonight. Best I've seen Ireland play in a long while. Calm and composed on the ball, well organised off it. We really weren't that far off a draw with a team that made the world cup final a few months ago.
They were the better team, but it was close. A mistake for their goal, a cracking save to stop the equaliser. On another day it would have been a different result. Great to see
