So we're including that glorified friendly among Klopp's list of cup final victories.Another trophy for 'Klippity Klopp the final flop'
Yes we are. Cause sure as hell you would love to let us know it would have been another failure for him had we not won.So we're including that glorified friendly among Klopp's list of cup final victories.
Reaching a bit, aren't you?
It's still a trophy and one that you only get if you're good enough to win a preceding one. Also, if he hadn't won it, the narrative would have been about Klopp losing finals again and reverting to not winning trophies within his grasp. Nice to win, not a massively important one but it is still one nonethelessSo we're including that glorified friendly among Klopp's list of cup final victories.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that game was nothing more than a European charity shield. It's not a recognised trophy.Yes we are. Cause sure as hell you would love to let us know it would have been another failure for him had we not won.
Ain't that the truth.It's still a trophy and one that you only get if you're good enough to win a preceding one.

Recognised by UEFA. Trophy mate.Sorry to burst your bubble, but that game was nothing more than a European charity shield. It's not a recognised trophy.
Uh, what?Sorry to burst your bubble, but that game was nothing more than a European charity shield. It's not a recognised trophy.
Not in terms of significance. It was nothing more than a glorified friendly.Uh, what?
It is. An official UEFA trophy.
Klopp lost a glorified friendly 10 days ago, no mention of it in this thread. Klopp wins a glorified friendly tonight, all of a sudden the dippers are out in full force. Classical deluded dippers.So we're including that glorified friendly among Klopp's list of cup final victories.

Here we go again. It's not a friendly. It might be a glorified summer trophy, but it is silverware, UEFA silverware on top of that. It has to be won. Losing it raises questions and eyebrows if the opposition was a weak EL-level club.Not in terms of significance. It was nothing more than a glorified friendly.
I didn't even notice that, a dipper bumps this thread tonight to no ones' surpriseKlopp lost a glorified friendly 10 days ago, no mention of it in this thread. Klopp wins a glorified friendly tonight, all of a sudden the dippers are out in full force. Classical deluded dippers.
It's sad as feck.Klopp lost a glorified friendly 10 days ago, no mention of it in this thread. Klopp wins a glorified friendly tonight, all of a sudden the dippers are out in full force. Classical deluded dippers.
Just because money is present doesn't mean every manager is going to use it in a right way. It doesn't change anything from Pep's statue imo.No, if you gave Pep the resources of Poch and Klopp he would be nowhere near where these 2 are
Except they’ve just won the CL and we’ve won feck all.Klopp lost a glorified friendly 10 days ago, no mention of it in this thread. Klopp wins a glorified friendly tonight, all of a sudden the dippers are out in full force. Classical deluded dippers.
I agree. This "trophy" means nothing to me. Would be happier if these one off game wankpot trophies were stopped. There are currently 5 "real" trophies. Used to be 6 with the Cup Winners Cup.It's sad as feck.
I can't believe they are openly celebrating this tinpot 'trophy'.
Well, plenty of posters here on the Caf were including the Community Shield as a trophy in 2016/17 when Utd won it. Can't really fault Liverpool fans for including the Super Cup as a trophy as well.So we're including that glorified friendly among Klopp's list of cup final victories.

You scousers are funny. Considering the lack of silverwire after 2005. The replica of tonight's cup will end up in your museum. Carpe diem.I agree. This "trophy" means nothing to me.

This will be forgotten very quickly, and if we don't beat Saints I think it will be viewed as a contributing factor. 120 mins in extreme heat, with travel involved. Load of bollocks.
When the teeth were running in slow motion it looked like an advert for Baywatch
Exactly. It is not about United or Liverpool fans. Fans are not a monolithic group. Some United fans count the Community Shield as a trophy, some don't. Same with Liverpool fans for Super Cup.Well, plenty of posters here on the Caf were including the Community Shield as a trophy in 2016/17 when Utd won it. Can't really fault Liverpool fans for including the Super Cup as a trophy as well.
There's our fans whom want to win (any) a trophy and there's the fans that have the mentality of "well it's meaningless anyway, lets go out of league cup, fa cup the in early rounds so we can concentrate on european final/ PL in the long run" yeah because that worked well for us in 2014,2016, 2018 which ended in utter disappointment.You scousers are funny.

It just seems a little desperate to include a 'trophy' of minor signifance such as the Super Cup or Community Shield among your list of achievements.Here we go again. It's not a friendly. It might be a glorified summer trophy, but it is silverware, UEFA silverware on top of that. It has to be won. Losing it raises questions and eyebrows if the opposition was a weak EL-level club.
It sure would have felt good winning it in 2017, right? Or 1999. You can't win a "sextete" if you lose the Supercup final.
Do you think we have a deep enough squad to compete till latter stages of all trophies and win one of them? Do you think we would still have won CL and took PL to last day last season had we gone far in FAC and LC?There's our fans whom want to win (any) a trophy and there's the fans that have the mentality of "well it's meaningless anyway, lets go out of league cup, fa cup the in early rounds so we can concentrate on european final/ PL in the long run" yeah because that worked well for us in 2014,2016, 2018 which ended in utter disappointment.
The UEFA Super Cup and the Community Shield are not the same thing though. The Super Cup, like the UCL and UEL, is a recognized UEFA competition. There is nothing embarassing about recognizing it for what it is. What is actually embarassing is lumping the Super Cup with the Charity Shield or Audi Cup...United fans who counted the community shield as a trophy were embarrassing and Liverpool fans who are counting the Super Cup as a trophy are also embarrassing.
And yes, before someone says it .. counting the Audi Cup would be even worse.
Whatever UEFA call it, it's a 'cup' that you go immediately to the final of by virtue of what you did last season. Thus I simply don't/can't view it as a genuine trophy.The UEFA Super Cup and the Community Shield are not the same thing though. The Super Cup, like the UCL and UEL, is a recognized UEFA competition.

It's a two-team competition, the same way the UCL is a 32-team competition. Like the UCL too, you qualify by the virtue of what you did the preceding season. The final follows the rules of every other UEFA club competition, and you get a trophy and medals at the end of the game. If you consider the UCL a genuine competition, then the UEFA Super Cup is one too. Objectively, it is a complete and official UEFA competition, and it's nothing like the Charity Shield or other pre-season cups.Whatever UEFA call it, it's a 'cup' that you go immediately to the final of by virtue of what you did last season.

I'd say exactly the same if we somehow managed to win it, and most Liverpool fans I know in real life feel the same way after winning it.
Uh .. you qualify for the CL via what you did the previous season, and then you go through a groups stage and multiple knockout games to reach the final. You don't get to just play a one off game to win a trophy.It's a two-team competition, the same way the UCL is a 32-team competition.

While I will admit it‘s way above any Audi-Cup, it‘s basically just an add-on to the CL or EL silverware. It doesn‘t really have much of a standalone value. Almost like overselling, adding another sentence without value. Like this.It's a two-team competition, the same way the UCL is a 32-team competition.
