United may be in a far worse situation right now, but it must be a little worrying that even at their absolute worse, you're failing to catch up on them with regards to trophies.
Wouldn't be so sure about that, at our current rate
Eh, these things really can change very quickly. Liverpool were a mess for ages with a string of terrible appointments, one good one in Klopp and they're where they are now. Eventually it will click with United, and with your resources/pull you will be a force again.Wouldn't be so sure about that, at our current rate
If trophies are the be-all & end-all, why have United sacked the last 2 managers who've been responsible for winning those trophies ? Besides, Klopp has quite blatantly set his stall out over the past 2 seasons in dissing the domestic competitions. So that just leaves the 2 big ones to go for. Seeing as we only fell short by one point in winning the league this season against the best ever Premiership side, & we're due to play your boys in the final of the other 'big one' in a couple of weeks time, then I'd say no, I'm not in the slightest bit worried about United right now. Why should I be ? By their own fans admission they're in a right mess. It ain't gonna be turned around during the summer, or even next season. Your team, & manager, give me far more cause for concern.
It's always 'Next Season' for this team.The mood at Liverpool is good. We now have the infrastructure now to build for another league challenge next season.
Three or four additions to the squad are expected. A few players will leave, of course.
City are ahead of us, their owners started the project ten years ago. Liverpool didn't quite get it right in the first few years under FSG, but since Klopp has arrived we are now back to top club status.
New training ground facilities should be completed in the next 12 months.
Contrast Anfield to Old Trafford's mood yesterday post match.
They just weren't good enough and others were better than them.
Trophies aren't the be all and end all .. but when you're having a great period as a club like Liverpool and your rivals are struggling, you want to be catching up. It would be a bit disappointing if during their worst time and your best, they increased the trophy gap on you.
Don't think so. fair enough most of us preferred Ajax over Spurs, but you should be ready to face much tougher clubs in the Champions League final anyway. it's not like we're going to face City or Juve.
You love to WUM in this thread.
where have they been for the last ten years? Guess it didn’t matter when it was at United’s expense. Also just heard on Talk Sport that a video of City players singing a song mocking Liverpool has made the news. Looks like the smear campaign is in full force now.Don't get me wrong, not underestimating Spurs at all. I'm just saying there is no reason we'd be 'shitting bricks about this final'. I was really excited before the last year's final against Real, shouldn't be any different this season.
And a team that lost 13 league games.
And we're grateful.
We knocked out Barcelona and have also played Bayern, PSG & Napoli. Previous opponents mean nothing when you get to the final, as we discovered last year. Knocked out the centurions and still lost.
Have you heard the lyrics to the song? They make reference to Kompany injuring Salah and Liverpool fans getting battered. Even if the song wasn't referencing Sean Cox, the Liverpool fan who was assaulted at Anfield before the UCL Semi-final last season and has only just recently woken up from a coma, it's in pretty poor taste and shows just how classless they are.Funny how the English media are up in arms about Man City’s spending all of a sudden
Yip, I'd still make you favourites though.We knocked out Barcelona and have also played Bayern, PSG & Napoli. Previous opponents mean nothing when you get to the final, as we discovered last year. Knocked out the centurions and still lost.
I think you win that final if Salah stays on the pitch .. oh and if Karius doesn't have a fecking meltdown. You certainly weren't played off the field, finals can be a bit of a lottery for sure.We knocked out Barcelona and have also played Bayern, PSG & Napoli. Previous opponents mean nothing when you get to the final, as we discovered last year. Knocked out the centurions and still lost.
Honestly mate I hadn’t. I apologise in that case. My post was meant mainly as banter but that’s pretty classless as you say.
Who cares? We very clearly fecked off the league in favour of Europe due to our squad depth. We also suffered horrible injury issues this season but should be fully fit by the final.
And we're grateful.
Yeah of course. You played us off the park in the second half at Anfield as well so I'm wary of that.
Fair one. Just read the full lyrics on the Echo website...
All the way to Kiev,
You do know that people went to prison for what happened at Heysel? It's not ok for banners like that to be used, but using Heysel as a point scoring exercise as if the perpetrators got away with it is as daft as what's going on in the image you've posted, as is determining that every single Liverpool fan in the world has to shoulder the blame for it.
Your fans literally used the deaths of 39 innocent people - which they themselves caused - to points-score in a Merseyside derby against Everton, who lost out on European football in 1986 because of your atrocities in Heysel the year before.
Get the feck out of here with this ‘classless’ nonsense. Your club has left the biggest stain on English football and by a wide margin, too.
Tell me about it. You honestly wouldn't know Spurs in the second half vs Ajax was the same team which turned up in the first.
At no point have I said that our fans are angel's and some are downright cnuts but that doesn't excuse the Man City players, employees of the club, doing that.

It only takes two really good signings to improve things. Van Dijk & Alisson completely transformed our defense so there's no reason why that can't happen with Spurs.
Nah.
What’s this all about?Funny how the English media are up in arms about Man City’s spending all of a sudden
You probably won’t, no, but it’ll be interesting to see what you do when the transfer window opens. You’d think that consistent CL qualification, now a final even and the new stadium is a big incentive for your owners to spend to consolidate your status as a big club. And considering you spent nothing last season, you should have the money to do it.
Apparently city players were filmed singing an offensive song about Liverpool. Didn’t realise quite how grim the lyrics were when I made that post. Someone posted it further up the page.
Why would a Liverpool manager deserve CL?
