Match Day Thread 2016/17 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

What do you mean imagine? Jose does 10 times worse every game and no one says a thing

Except this guy: https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2017/may/11/paul-pogba-manchester-united-celta-vigo

 

How dare they rock up and keep their 4th clean sheet of the season against your lot

Maybe Klopp would have been better served reflecting on how Puel had owned him again

 

'No one says a thing'

Okay, if you say so astro.

But you agree Klopp might do better if he was to concentrate on managing the team rather than berating officials?

 

i looked it up this morning

Holland have dropped out of top 10 so both PSV and ajax will go to play offs for CL next year.

HOWEVER

• The UEFA Europa League winners enter in the group stage if the UEFA Champions League winners qualify directly for the UEFA Champions League group stage via their domestic league programme. This is what happened the past two seasons after success for Barcelona and Real Madrid.

It seems there is a spot ofr CL winner and for Europa winner and you are right

 

Nail. Head.

It's worked for us 3 times already this season. Plus plenty of other teams at Anfield in 2017.

But we'll just rock up and play into your hands yeah?

 

no.... now we heard all about this last year when the game was in a minor stadium. This comp is considered as lower and is given to smaller countries and stadia cos they would never get a CL. Thus again europa final is in a small ground and theres few tickets for a big side to get.

50k and 9,5 for utd is ok but that leaves 70k odd mancs who go to the toilet for 9.5k seats.

 

no not really... you are where you are cos you've missed the fact that without mane you can high press LFC aorund lucas, lovren and milner and cut us up and actually win

those draws are nice n that but.... you got 2 points out of them and could have had 6... if you'd realised that

I am desperately hoping west ham try the same thing... a point will do us i hope sunday.

 

Of course you're entitled to behave as a small club who's main aim for the season is getting results against us

But that's also why you're fighting for top half and we're fighting for top 3

 

^^^^^ Not at all bitter about Soton denying the RS a trip to Wembley and potentially derailing their bid for the Wenger trophy

 

We are where we are because we've had **** transfer windows and been very inconsistent this year

Don't know about 6 points, we were lucky to escape with one in the home league game tbh. Agree if we were at our best last week we could have won.

The other 3 we were comfortable though. Just think Klopp is throwing blame out left, right and centre instead of acknowledging his own shortcomings.

 

No our aim for this season was steady in the league, bring sone youth through, get out of EL group and have a decent domestic cup run.

We failed on the EL part but done well with the others, even exceeding expectations in the cup run department you might remember

And fighting for 3rd? Weren't you 'favourites for 2nd' like 6 days ago?

 

Klopp should instead be throwing his players under the bus, abusing his staff, and getting red cards and fines for blaming officials

Then maybe he'd be making as much #progress as Jose

 

well duh....

 

ture but gabbiandini looked a good buy.

Klopp's not bought a squad. He's gone in expecting 40 odd games and 15/16 players were enough. he's lost mane twice and without mane he has a top 8 side not a top 4 one... simple as.

His shortcomings are clearly at the back, since he's just stuck lucas in the goals against have dropped a lot but the side going forward is gone. it just shows again he's not bought in that position as with henderson goals were flying in.

 

I said we'd be favourites for 2nd if we had won #keepup

 

Coming 2nd in cup is no different from losing in 3rd round to be fair. If you're going to go to the final, might as well win it rather than get beaten by united... the shame

 

Yeah sorry about that

That's probably true for non match going fans

 

Yep, even worse than going out early for the fans who have to drag themselves to and from the final

 

Whilst I agree abour injuries etc. all clubs can point to that. I could say if we hadn't lost Austin and Virgil for half a season we'd be closer to Everton.

Fact is these things happen and it's how you deal with it, and you lot have been in shocking in 2017. You even knew Mane was going for a month so no excuses there.

 

You make going to support your team sound like a chore.

Why doesn't that suprise me?
