    They have given two amazing seasons that I won’t forget
    I know I am pessimistic but I also realise that we have been entertained fantastically well :)
    Loved last two years - football wise

    Credit to City and Pep though, they had the drive to really get to 100. And to think we had a much better head start and could have smashed it, but just didn't seem remotely interested for whatever reason.

    They have a better and more extensive squad and I think the quality wins games even when they don't have the drive. They blow people away when things are going right for them but lack character when they're not.
    I think our attitude and determination is better, and that was the difference - and it's the diluting of that determination that has seen the performances drop since the title was won.

    City had a bigger (illegal) squad and more time between games

    I think that gives the players motivation, they fighting for their place in the side. We've got a strong first eleven but only one or two that are fighting beyond that.

    Next year is our year defending the crown, we have to be invincible to win it. We may not even need 90 points .

    While like all other Reds i wish our season wasn't just spluttering to a finish i think it was fairly inevitable in the circumstances . The absence of fans added to the fact we are already champions that it removes so much of the motivation from the players that the drop off in performance was almost inevitable .

    We are not the only one affected by lack of fans, it does apply to everyone too. I think the players are no longer motivated after winning the title. They are looking for a break.

    Arghh that was one of the most frustrating games I've seen. We weren't that bad - dominated most of the game, created some semi decent chances and took the lead. You can't plan for 2 very bad mistakes

    Having said that, I know we expected a drop off, and this team has delivered the title and we should all be happy and grateful, but dropping points is never nice. In the general context of the season, this is nothing - but losing can never be acceptable.

    We won't see the real LFC until next season now - I just hope that we don't get battered in the next two games.

    The points record would have been nice, but an end to 30 long years pf pain knocks that into insignificance. I'm a very happy man.

    You knows things are good when you’re being trolled by rivals for losing 3 games in a season when you’ve already wrapped up the league in record time. Hard times lads, hard times.

    One thing it has shown is our desperate need for competition for the front 3. Firmino as much as we love him has a dreadful record this season and salah the last couple games deserves to be dropped.

    Wouldn’t worry about the bitters laughing just laugh back
    Proper childish comments from them
    Take the pmsl route
    At least the mancs have something to back up their crowing
    Actually scratch that Everton got a point against us we should have played the kids like we did in the cup <laugh>

    Very true although most of it is aimed at Astro who's been banging on about us breaking records so it was inevitable really
