In a world of my own. People know me here.
Unlikely because Klopp seems to not care about domestic cups and has a bee in his bonnet with the FA anyway over the fixture schedule.

They could easily win the PL n CL double though like we did in 2008. In fact I think they will do. Who is realistically going to beat them? City at a push could if they have Laporte back fit. Wouldn't fancy any of Madrid, Bayern, Barca or PSG over two legs vs this Liverpool team. They will all cack themselves at Anfield like usual.
I think Klopp will field mainly kids again in the 4th round of the FA Cup. If they get us through to the last 16 then he might start taking it seriously, especially if we continue the way we have in the league. There's a 2 week break coming up at the start of Feb so the players should be refreshed & raring to go for the remainder of the season, so provided we don't suffer a glut of injuries then I can't see tiredness being an issue.

I mean, did we though?

We won the Champions League in 2007/08, a season in which:

- Juventus just got back from Serie B because of calciopoli
- Bayern didn't even play in the CL
- Real Madrid were slap bang in the middle of their amazing "can't even make the last 8 in the CL" run
- Barcelona finished 3rd in La Liga behind Villarreal and struggled to get past Celtic in the CL, as the likes of Ronaldinho and Deco basically couldn't be arsed anymore and "just give it to Messi" wasn't as effective as in later years
- Milan clearly didn't have another run like 06/07 in their ageing squad and in the end finished 5th in Serie A

Our biggest rivals both home and in Europe were Chelsea, managed by Avram fecking Grant.

We were a fecking great team back then and fully deserved all the trophies. It was a fun ride and all. But frankly, denigrating Liverpool's achievements because "the competition is weak" makes us look very bitter and RAWKish, especially considering the above.
He's not lying though. Too many top teams are in transition.

Just like it was in 2008. That was the point of the post you replied to. If Utd deserved their CL win in 2008, the same goes for Liverpool in 18/19. It's quite simple really. But you knew that.

Wolves are going to end the unbeaten run on Thursday ;)
I don't think you'll find too many of us care about the unbeaten record. It's all about getting our hands on the big shiny thing in May and as long as we do that, I don't care if we do the minimum of win 9, draw 3 and lose 4 to get it.

I never said Liverpool fans do, even as an Arsenal fan I don't care as I don't want our fans to just talk about history like your fans love to do, this is a Utd forum though and they will always want you to lose

But if you have it you'll definitely gloat about it.

I don't think they will break 49 unbeaten runs record. To reach that, they have already in the midst of UCL knockout stage. Liverpool are serious in building their global brand now, that's why Klopp went to Doha to play Monterrey (who?) and Flamengo. They will give more attention to reach another final or possibly win it again.

For PL, the strategy probably just keeping the pace. Low-key, they know the title is in the bag. That's why you hardly see the heavy metal football and all-out geggenpressing anymore. Now is mostly managing the game, hitting the opponent in 15-20 mins burst each half. The players look as fit as ever. I read somewhere they went and got some physical conditioning expert.

If they get through this 2 match run without defeat then it's all on City to beat them.

This. It's a good thing to have because at some point we'll have a barren spell trophy wise and at least we'll have an "invincibles" label to brag about during the lean years. But first things first. Let's just win the damn thing so that we can discard our supposed fake humility and wum away! I won't even be interested in the unbeaten record until we're 3 games from it (Arsenal away, Chelsea at home, Newcastle away ffs). Speaking of which, I know that Arsenal got a golden PL trophy for going unbeaten. A couple of questions:

1. If a team went unbeaten but didn't win, would they get anything? A gold plated wooden spoon? :D
2. If we went unbeaten and got over a 100 points, would we get something better than a golden trophy? Surely that achievement would be far better than Arsenal's. Please disregard your opinion on the league being stronger/weaker now etc. Such factors weren't taken into account for their golden trophy. Unbeaten was unbeaten.

I dont think anything would be given for beating a specific points total, because thats something that is variable.

Whilst going unbeaten, you either do it or you dont. I personally think people remember things like going unbeaten for longer than things like getting a certian amount of points, a title is a title whether its 80 or 100 points, but going unbeaten makes it that extra special.

I honestly don't know how Liverpool fans coped with 30 years of this.
Must have been horrible for all that time. :confused:

I just can't see it. The intensity and energy they bring to each game are impossible to overcome. Even if you raised your game to your max ability you still wouldn't match their hard-wired energy levels. They are relentless in moving the ball forward and I can't see any team breaking that psychological jail. Go on then Wolves

Blind optimism helped.
Actually think it's the opposite.

13/14 was a lot more enjoyable than fx 08/09 because the pressure was much less, it was more of a "if it happens, it happens" and just enjoying the football from week to week.

We played some great stuff in 08/09, but the "could this finally be our year? It has to be our year" was agony throughout.

It’s a matter of what you’re accustomed to, I think. Following United, you’ve seen them win multiple league titles under arguably the best manager ever, which makes your current state difficult to cope with. In the 25 years I’ve supported Liverpool, I’ve never experienced a league title. We’ve had some good teams along the way that came close, and a couple of CL’s, but Liverpool were never near being the juggernaut you were under Ferguson. So I’m sort of used to us being mediocre, and so in those few title runs accepting of the fact that it just wasn’t our year after all.

Tbf, while they didn't win the title for that long, they did win around a dozen trophies including old big ears twice which I guess does help

At least you were enjoyable to watch/follow then. You may not have won anything those seasons, but there was no doubting you were there or there abouts.

As a Liverpool fan, do you think it was ever as low as it currently is for Utd? Maybe 10/11 under Roy?

I don't think enjoyable football was enough to make it a happy time for them.
Also during that time they had many periods which were much worst than it currently is for United.

Yes. It was. Been supporting 'pool for 45 years now, and it's been utterly miserable (punctuated sometimes with "wow!") the last 30 years.

It doesn't get any better.

It doesn't stop hurting.

Every time you think you've hit rock bottom, it just somehow gets worse the next time.

Even when you do something spectactular, it just feeds into the hope that things might get better. Then they don't. Human beings are cursed with hope.

The phrase "Welcome to hell" was often in mind.

If we can get through Wolves tonight undefeated then we have a fairly nice run of games before we go to City. One game at a time and all that though.

Compare our current squad to most of theirs from those periods, I think theirs tend to have more quality, sadly.

They were also arguably more competitive in the league, cups and Europe (not necessarily all at once) than we currently are.

I Don't think so unless you're talking about Brighton.

You kinda get used to it eventually. It helped having short bursts of quality and title challenges during the 30 years. E.g. The Fowler/McManaman years, 2001 cup treble, Istanbul, 2009 and 2014, and finally Klopp.

Also, I would imagine those United fans who lived through the pre Fergie years will be coping better than those who'd only known Fergie and success.

Nothing lasts forever and there's no guarantee the good times will ever come round again, for anyone, so you've just got to accept that this is how things might be for the foreseeable future for United. Your wealth should make it easier but it doesn't guarantee anything.

Exactly! We've almost always had a few world class players about, who made it worth watching all our glorious failures. Especially the strikers: Fowler->Owen->Torres->Suarez and then the current bunch.

We'll see. LFC have won 8/9 in the league vs Wolves this century, including winning the previous 6 in a row.
Its more a hopeful post than what Im expecting, think it will be close either way

Hodgson was awful in every way. Dark humour was the only respite.
