This freak of a season, with no fans, is clearly having a big toll on our manager - he's a people person and loves people.

It's tough to watch him looking so forlorn without the human contact, without the meaning of the game there - but he'll be back, and so will we
This may be the most depressing January there has been in living memory around the world, I would be surprised if Jurgen is immune to this. He'll have elderly relatives and friends back in Germany who matter to him. Things are not normal, football does not exist in a vacuum.
Klopp looked distraught in the post match conference. He is feeling the pain just like all of us are.
He hurts because he cares, and the fact he cares so much will see him and the players turn this around
Anyway, at some point, fans will be back. Some kind of normal life will be back, and the Liverpool we know and love will be back too.
The biggest worry I have is that Jurgen seems to have lost his mojo too. Yes, the players aren't doing great but I think ever since the post-match vs Brighton there's been a change in him. He seems less arsed. He seems to have resigned himself to it all. The grinning and such like after WBA equalised. Things like that. I think it's got a lot to do with there being no crowd. He bounces off that energy more than the players themselves. I don't know, but he hasn't had that same relentless drive and never-say-die attitude. I get the feeling he can't wait for this season to be over and to go again with a full squad and crowds back in stadiums.
said it here before, I think some of it is a family thing rather than a football thing - i.e. he can’t see them now cos of covid and lockdown and travel restrictions, so it doesn’t surprise me if he’s feeling a bit flat about things. And as much as he loves football, they of course come first. Can’t be easy.

Although the smiling thing, that’s something he’s done many a time before
oh RAWK how i have missed thee. Let me count the ways. :drool:

There was absolutely nothing debateable about the penalty! The keeper caught the attacker without touching the ball. Clear penalty. What is there to debate? :lol:
The only debate is which foul do you want to give the pen for, the pull back or the wipe out haha

Pretty sure I read (on here?) they've taken more points than we have since the first lockdown ended? I think we're underestimating what Ole is doing His going the Fergie route of making sure they beat the poorer teams and then full-on park the bus and then counter-attack a jammy goal against the big teams and see where they are.
I don't care what anyone says. We don't win the title its because we threw it away ourselves. We've turned up nearly every big game even if not firing on all cylinders. It's the poor teams we've not turned up for. We're giving the title away with a squeak and not a fight.
Once in a while some leave the twilight zone.

second fella went all in - shin pads and boots. Gotta admire the commitment. But then the first one went out in public. Too difficult to separate them so both are losers.

And here is the booby prize.

I almost forgot that pic, we haven't been able to use it for a while. Well played :lol:
Amazed no-one has wheeled out the 3-3 Palace crowd scene, instantly followed up with "you notice something different every time".

Have they had a single major injury all season? I can't think of one (Matic doesn't count).
How dare you. Brandon Williams is currently out.
Didn't you see Pogba get obliterated by Pogba the other week? Luckily he recovered quickly but that could have been a career ender
Yea, still can't understand how he wasn't sent off for stopping a clear goal scoring chance for himself.
...
I have a bad feeling about this. It's running for them with the news that De Broyne is out for 6 weeks.
If city lose about another six players United will be nearly as good as them. Not that I'll be shouting for them like cuckold united have done for several seasons.
Its the hope that'll kill them.
...
The cup game against Liverpool. It's been a long time, always love it. A Klopp win wouldn't be the worst, keep him in the job another week

That is a bloke that’s nicked two basketballs from Sports Direct.

If you see every penalty situation that I've questioned as an obvious penalty and don't like the idea of debating them, that's ok.
I accept your apology, but you're wrong on both assumptions. This is not about Liverpool. I have a keen interest in how the laws of the game (esp re diving and "contact" as opposed to fouls) are applied, how "contact" is seen as a justification of diving, how football's governing bodies want diving to continue etc etc.
I even read your posts in a Liverpool accent now.
