So fecking annoying Even when Man utd are shite they still win trophies, Fa cup last year, Carling cup this year, still in the Europa league and Fa cup for this season aswell.

Meanwhile we have won nothing for 5 years now
Still I see people laughing at the mancs and their 6th place etc........

But they are doing what they did in the early 90's before their title success. In 90 they won the fa cup, 91 the cup winners' cup and 92 the league cup. They won the FA cup last year and the league cup this year.

You see they are building a winning mentality that we sorely lack and yes you can laugh at their league position but with their squad and who they will sign in the summer and with Mourinho in charge that winning mentality now will not be going.

So yes laugh at them all you like but I'd swap current league positions all day long to have their winning mentality compared to our weak mentality. They win finals and we lose them. I don't care about luck and how they did it - but they did it. Whereas we fail because we lack that mentality.
Agreed mate. Makes me sick but it's Part of the Man utd Dna to win trophys. Right now we are just a bunch of nearly win who don't win shit to be frank.

Trophy is a trophy at the end of the day, winning only breeds good habits, we need to win something soon we have had to many near misses, this would have been a great opportunity to win silverware so early into the season and in Klopps reign, now we have to go onto next season. The wait for trophy goes on and pressure increases.
Agree completely with this. We're in no position to laugh at United.
Mourinho might be a good manager, but he's no Ferguson, those glory days of theirs are over.
I wouldn't disagree with anything you have written. We played Southampton 3 times this season and scored nil goals against them. Utd didn't play well and scored 3 alone today. They did what they had to do.
Re-last season's finals Klopp will have taken note, changes have been made and will be made. I couldn't care less who won today or any day that we are not in it. I have better things to be doing than worrying about all of that.
What I am "concerned" about is us winning and the joy that is going to bring me and all of you. I am enjoying the ride and (hopefully) we will get there with Klopp. It is gonna be great.

Either us winning trophies is a sobering sight or the ban hammer is out tonight.

We've won more since we've been short post Ferguson than they have, and yet they claim it's us going backwards and them going forwards.

RAWK is laughable. I sometimes read the posts, and think, imagine showing someone at your work the absolute nonsense you've put online. The strange looks they'd get.

Being self aware and being a RAWKite are two mutually exclusive states of being. When a RAWKite says something sensible the world spins slightly off of its axis and life stops for a moment. The bugs stop chirping and the birds stop singing as the universe begins to implode within itself. Somewhere in the distance a baby cries and an avalanche rolls down a moutain while a black hole starts to envelop the stars. Jurgen Klopp's teeth start to whiten and for just a moment he forgets about United's fateful offside goal.
But thankfully, like Thor protecting the balance between worlds in Norse mythology, the Supreme Leader Moderators pull out the ban hammer and order is restored. All hail the moderators.

We've won the same number of trophies in 9 hours as Liverpool have won in 11 years.

Yes but how many did they win by cheating. Man utd's bill Shankly isn't Busby or Ferguson, its a referee.
They should have a statue for the "man with a whistle", outside old Trafford, with a brief description of his significance to Man utds glorious history.

The official LFC Twitter posted this at 9am yesterday. Their last trophy.


Loads of comments asking them to delete it from Liverpool fans :lol:

Bloody hell, and I thought the ref gave nearly everything to Southampton today.

Steve Nicol sure went into full meltdown mode. Said you can´t blame Tottenham for losing to Gent, Barcelona also lost to PSG, PSG and Gent are on the same level. :nervous: :lol:

I saw that too. He sounded like he was getting his talking points from the RAWK. The look on Hislop's face during the whole thing :lol:

Did JohnnoWhite give his valuable insights on yesterday's match? Surely must have had one congratulatory post at least for the team he is supporting since 1878?

Something about Sir Matt rolling in his grave and how Tommy Taylor would have been embarrassed by that winning header. Or something like that

Something like this: :confused:

As someone who has supported the club since the Jurassic period, it was disgusting to see the club Sir Matt built rely so heavily on a has-been signed on a free transfer. What happened to the youth team players promoted to the first team? Yada yada...

Seeing places like RAWK and bluemoon, and just opposition fans in general being so butthurt over United winning just makes it all the sweeter.

To see how much it hurts them, that even when we have the 'shittiest united team ever' we can still win trophies where they can't

Contrast between Southampton's performance yesterday and Liverpool's performance today - both teams who had two weeks rest - is so stark. And to think some of the RAWKites thought they'd give us a better game than Southampton did.

The mancs are gonna get CL while we still make fun of them for spending money on Pogba and finish 7th. feck this shit.

bono_k 1 points 2 minutes ago

Klopp should be sacked. So then, we can be like Today's Leicester City..

Galick-Gunner 2 points 3 minutes ago

Just look at the bench and remember we're going to spend 50 mil on moving our training ground.

miroa12004 4 points 4 minutes ago

Winning mentality starts at the top, under FSG, we have become acostumed to mediocrity, 6th is the new norm. No ambition to win or compete at the top.
(looks like months of saying 6th has gotten into their own heads.)

naivesteve92 1 point just now

So what's the excuse now? They aren't parking the bus, they are outplaying us. Why do we look so nervous ?


HowlinHoosier 1 point a minute ago

if ( when) we finish 5th/6th and bombed out of both cups would we start thinking about a different manager? like give klopp the summer but if we aren't in top 4 by christmas he is out?


perspective_4 -1 points 2 minutes ago

2 weeks off.

Klopp had enough time to get his tactics sorted.

The players had enough time to be absolutely energetic.

See none of it. One of the worst halves.

Klopp's tactics in the first half of the season worked.

Since then, till now, it's been exactly the same thing. Exactly the same game week after week.

All we get from Klopp (from what we witness) is "more energy". There's no change in tactics, none. There's only a claim to be more 'passionate'.

IT DOESN'T feckING WORK. Football is about tactics, and systems. Klopp hasn't changed fecking shit since the decline started. Cause he doesn't know how to.

Say we give him next season. He gets some shit sorted (goes 4-2-3-1 -- this is literally what he will do, nothing else), it works for a few weeks. And then a decline again.


KLOPP OUT

Said this yesterday as well but the number of 6th place digs on RAWK was so funny considering they were just a point ahead of us.

Even better that some of the scouse on here were so happy that they lost to Wolves as it'd mean rest so they can concentrate on the league and games like this.

Come the end of the season, they might be justified and get top 4. Might. But to actively want your team to lose a cup game, or any game, is mental.
