I am guessing this is from a while bacl but I could listen to klopp talk about tactics all day on the big sky pad

Exactly. The club is on a complete upward trajectory and the healthiest it's been in most all facets, on and off the pitch, in the PL era. And it's mainly all down to that one man.

But you come out of a 10 day, 4 game hugely frustrating, grim spell and suddenly all the reactionary types who scream the loudest online are painting it as 'the season over/ L'pool a million miles behind the other 5/ FSG OUT!!!!!/ Klopp OUT!!!!!' and all negative points in between. Most all of whom were singing a COMPLETELY different tune going into the City game. Amazing what a week and a half does to bring out the very worst in your so-called 'fans' huh?

Yes, it's been real frustrating to see the same picture three straight games of completely dominating teams, failing to score and kill games off, then one mistake and the opposition scoring costing you the game. (Side note: I sat through two games last Sunday. Chelsea giving three golden chances to Arsenal through defensive mistakes. Utd doing the same to Everton. But Arsenal's finishing was rank bad. And Utd has de Gea. Along with Rooney ******** one wide he should have done better with. But every mistake from this L'pool side right now is being punished and adding to the narrative.). Yes, it was utterly gutting to go out the League Cup at the first hurdle against utter ***** midweek. Life is by no means great to be a Red right now.

But people lose all sense of perspective when that happens so close together and turn into complete, embarrassing dickheads. And that's so-called L'pool 'fans' before you even get to the media and oppo. supporters weighing in. As Klopp said today, you'd think this team was pointless and the worst side the league. Not one just going through a poor run of form.

To take a positive on Wednesday's defeat, at least we know January will be a **** of a lot easier this year without the two League Cup semis others will be contesting. And to equate to last season, as we always seem to have at least one real bad month a year, hopefully, last years January/ February is happening early in September. We're just going through a tough spell. Nottin' less. Nottin' more. And they'll be out of it sooner rather than later. This is a darn good football team that will be competing for major honours the end of the season.

Reasoned discussion is sound. And many are legit asking questions of some things the managers doing. Myself included. But to all those 'woe is us. The seasons dead. Rip it ALL up!' cliff jumpers, in SEPTEMBER, I don't know what to say. To be calling for the head of the best thing that's happened to this football club in YEARS ..... Seriously, give yer ******* heads a SERIOUS wobble! Either that or you're just permanently miserable, attention seeking cranks that aren't worth the time of day.

The rest of us, we'll keep things in perspective, and look forward to Sat'day tea-time and getting back on it to put the last 4 games behind us and set us up for the long trek to Moscow.

'You'll Never Walk Alone' ..... A LOT of people need a serious sit-down talk as just what that and being a Liverpudlian means!

Lovely, terrifically penned read from Gutmann that evoked a whole host of memories this Sat'day morning:

It's funny if you went by the media or social media, you'd think Liverpudlians would be dead down right now and not looking forward to facing Leicester again so quickly after yet another defeat down there Tuesday. But the majority of people I've come across this week, and certainly all those friends who'll be at the match this tea-time (bar my good friend Mike. But he's a pessimistic **** the best of times lol), are all looking forward to getting back on it and having a chance to put the grim frustration of the last 4 games dip behind us and L'pool back to winning ways.

Friday nights treble of the U-23's perfect start extending to 6 out of 6 beating 'Spurs 4-2, the 18's continuing their unbeaten start to the year moving 2nd with a 3-1 win the Mini (mini) Derby, and the girls opening up their season with another Derby victory, 2-0 at Everton; has set things up nicely. Let's go make it 4 out of 4 Redmen and remind Leicester just who they actually are to set us up perfectly for the long trek to Moscow. (On that, how nice was it for the Russian authorities to warn both ourselves and Utd to behave yesterday? How about you don't have us both in the same, VERY dodgy City over successive nights then? Morons.).

Quietly confident of ending the 4 game rut later. The manager has mentioned being P twice now this week at the soft goals conceded so you can be certain they'll of had a SERIOUS rocket up their collective behinds. Take the chances we never the last three games, and we'll comfortably end the Leicester who-do.

WTRWWAW! More of that please boys.

And yeah Rob lad. Yers Grandad Arthur knew EXACTLY what he was talking about.

Up the 'Pool. Mighty Reds!
 
Sort it out ref. First, how is that a foul on Vardy? And how is that NOT a foul by Okizaki?!
 
A non existing foul on vardi and a foul on mignolet from okazaki. Nice.
 
Seriously you start a goal down with Mignolet in goal. Even the Okazaki offiside goal he chickens out and goes with his legs at the near post instead of making himself big. The less said about his flap into the wind for the second the better. In before anyone says a 5 ft 9 striker is enough to put him off from claiming that ball.

So you are saying Okizaki pulling on his arm, slowing him down preventing him arriving on time is his fault?

Watch it again. Its a foul but a stronger keeper swats okazaki off him first and foremost then comes and claims it. I'd argue Mignolet cant do anything about it if the foul carrys on throughout the motion but once he frees himself, im sorry but he has to punch that clear.
 
This year as early as it is continues the refs bad calls. First the offside-foul 3rd Watford goal then the penalty on salah against Burnley and now this.

But thats what it is all about. Fine margins. Mignolet would have been there a split second earlier, with a different body shape and he would have been in a better position to clear it.

Im not Mignolets biggest fan, but on this occasion, he doesnt have any blame.

Biggest blame goes on the ref who made two awful decisions.
 
And the ref comedy continues.Lovren had both arms held by Maguire.

Fine margins for Mignolet but the mistake was letting a 5 ft 9 striker mishandle him in the first place. Still watching it back I feel theres enough time for him to punch it clear when Okazaki lets him go.
 
Pfft. Make that two goals per match now.
Edit: I love u mingo all is forgiven.
