Will Klopp be fired? Surely Liverpool fans can't be happy with 1 league in 8 (31) years despite having the best squad ever assembled?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Exactly.
As nice as it is for Liverpool to have not gotten a quadruple [when will the media learn you don’t start talk about these things so early], they’ve 2 domestic cups in the bag & are favourites for the UCL & then losing today gives our city rivals another title.
We used to laugh at RAWK for celebrating these kind of ‘victories’.
Talking of fired managers, I've just finally taken an interest in the league table tonight below 4th place. Utd have finished 35 points below City and 36 points above Norwich. Dayam.
Thoroughly delighted to see City turn that around today, and the Anfield crowd going beserk thinking Villa equalised, was the cherry on top. haha
What I'd give to see Carra, Phil Thompson and John Aldridge's reactions as Gundogan stuck the 3rd in.

Yeah, a remarkably bad period for United and a remarkably good one for Liverpool. Guess it makes no difference now that City have popped you to it. Nobody remembers the runners up, do they?Talking of fired managers, I've just finally taken an interest in the league table tonight below 4th place.

well done for winning the second place trophy. Again.Talking of fired managers, I've just finally taken an interest in the league table tonight below 4th place. Utd have finished 35 points below City and 36 points above Norwich. Dayam.
With this remarkably bad period I can't see you in the CL for another few seasons. Too much rebuilding and Ten Haag is a huge gamble from a nomark league. Conte and Tuchel won't be giving their places to you.Yeah, a remarkably bad period for United and a remarkably good one for Liverpool.

@Giggsyking you need some second, third or fourth placed trophies mate. Urgently. The Glazers need their dividends.
When we were 2nd and 3rd last two seasons, we still called for the manager to be sacked. Right back at you.
You would have to be the biggest cretin in the industry to fire a manager like him at this moment. No manager out there would make Liverpool come so close to City both times they lost out on the league was with 1 point. Taken them to 3 CL finals and won 2 domestic titles this year. And could potentially win the CL.
I do think his Liverpool tenure will end like it did at BvB though. The intensity of which his teams play bites them in the arse in the long run also yet to be seen if Salah and Mane stay.
Bad effort but shouldn’t you be takin the piss out of your new rivals….West Ham?
You have a point, but this is United forum
Do West Ham have 20 league titles?Bad effort but shouldn’t you be takin the piss out of your new rivals….West Ham?
Oh.
Do Liverpool?
Oh.
Very sad. Sad times indeed.
Salah on his way, VVD 30, Henderson 30, Milner 45, Mane 30. This is an aging Liverpool team that didn't really live up to the hype - but look, at least ye won that one title during covid - well done!
Hope the rebuild goes as well as our has so far !
Funny thing is you lost against the football geniuses west ham and thus lost the title.Bad effort but shouldn’t you be takin the piss out of your new rivals….West Ham?

Never mind them not winning the league, this supposed 'Greatest Liverpool team ever' couldn't even manage consecutive 5-0's against us.
5-0 and 4-0 is not quite the same as what we did to them back in 1946 in consecutive matches...
Anfield - 16th Feb 1946
Liverpool 0-5 Man Utd
Maine Road - 11th Sept 1946
Man Utd 5-0 Liverpool
9-0 isn't as good as 10-0 is it?
Failed quadruple isn't as good as the proper Treble is it?

Yes. Old Trafford was being restored after WW2, and so United played their home games at Maine Road.
Were you at that 1946 game out of interest? I’ve seen you bring that up before.
Don't know if it was mentioned, big thanks to Spurs. They cost them the title.
Whether I was there or not, my beloved United recorded a 10-0 aggregate score in back to back games against Liverpool.
This current 'Greatest Liverpool team ever' only managed a 9-0 aggregate score in back to back games against United.

Yeah you’ve got me. I was gutted after our 4-0 win against you at Anfield when I checked back to 1946 and noticed that we were a goal behind United’s infamous double (so infamous that I had definitely heard of it before you brought it up). I’d trade everything we’ve had under Klopp if it meant we could beat that memorable double (seriously I was aware of it).
A bit of optimism:
The last two times that Betis won la Copa del Rey (1977/2005) Liverpool were European champions.
The last time Madrid lost a European Cup final was in Paris, and against Liverpool.
The last time Spain was third in Eurovision (1984) Liverpool also won the European Cup.
*The Betis cups also coincide with the death of the pope, so Francisco may have to be careful.

I completely forgot that Gerrard is the Villa manager
Has this been posted?
This pathetic excuse for a wum needs a thread ban
Yeah, Liverpool were a goal away from being favorites to do it. Not sure why people think it won't happen. City I think have the better odds though.

Yes. But it deserves a few reposts
So the quadruple is off, lads?
Liverpool won't get a better chance than this season (be it 'the' treble/quadruple) but people are underestimating how rare they are. The luck you need along the way is close to being unprecedented, after all it's only been done once in Italy and Real Madrid have never done it in their history. That said, within the next decade or so an English side will probably do it -- with City being the far most likely candidate.
God it must have felt beautiful to them when Coutinho scored
That was my worst part of the day because I thought we were going to draw and screw it up.God it must have felt beautiful to them when Coutinho scored
You guys have been a great team but I’d feel horrible if this season ended up with just an FA cup and Carabao!
It’s hard to be that disappointed with two out of four but I think we need to win in Paris to make it a great season.
The league is a joke. We re dropped four points since January and it still wasn’t enough. That’s the nature of the competition against Pep’s City though.
