RAWK Goes Into Lockdown 25/26 Shieldless Edition - £500m down the drain, the champions have dropped points again!

[ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg]

I think we might just acceptance from them that they are average.

 

[tomaldinho1]

Superb

 

[Who's Kissing Cameras?]

God they are going to be FUMING.

I’m diving in now, live and direct! Wish me luck.

 

[Livewire1974]

Anything from Fester ?

 

[Waynne]

This is going to be gooooood

 

[DeGea]

My body is ready

 

[ManRed]

They have an easy run of games with only Manutd away and Chelsea home as tough games on paper. But lets celebrate the hilarous end to the game

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

They’re going to have a hard time without Szobszlai. He’s their best midfielder and the only with a creative pulse this season.

 

[Crackers]

Oh this is going to be good.

 

[ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg]

They’re going to have a hard time without Szobszlai. He’s their best midfielder and the only with a creative pulse this season.

Yet he’s often been playing at right back.

Dunno but the next two games for Liverpool are gonna be tricker than it looks. Sunderland haven't lost at home all season, and however erratic Forest is, they're in danger of getting dragged into relegation battle and have already beat them 3-0 at Anfield earlier in the season.

 

[Borys]

Superb result for us considering they have an easy run coming. Szobo red is a cherry on top.

 

[2 man midfield]

God they are going to be FUMING.

I’m diving in now, live and direct! Wish me luck.

Good luck AJ Tracey

 

[Chairman Steve]

Wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve shut their echo chamber so the rest of the world can’t see them tantruming

PL: Liverpool 1 v 2 Man City Szoboszlai 74’ Silva 84’ Haaaland 90+4’​

4 right backs out next game I think

FT 1-2 115. Such a sickener after being ahead with ten minutes to go. Can this season just end?

Level on point with Brentford after 25 games.

1.2 points per game.

Same old story. Can't defend.

Didn't put it to bed when we were well on top, then the ref makes sure of it for them

This game has shown us nothing we didn't already know.

This team is going to massively struggle to qualify for the top 5 CL places and at this point I'm inclined to say that we probably won't make it. We're not going to win the CL because we're simply not good enough at the moment. Slot will be 100% gone after season's end - and maybe even before that - and that's that. We'll try to rebuild again.

feck off Ljinders ya little rat.

Embarrassing beyond belief. Wtf has happened to us?

We were shocking in that first half but played really well in the second half until we scored. Then for whatever reason we decided to retreat, drop deep and stop playing. Allowed City back into to the game when up till then they’d done feck all in the second half.

At least Jones will be back in the team too... shame it's at fecking right back

Yeah, I think that's the last straw for me. Let's be honest, it was a piss poor game lit up by an excellent free kick. We then played like cowards for 10 minutes and got beat. Whoever's fault it is I'm sick of the style of play, sick of the football, sick of no results and sick of our complete lack of fight and mental strength.

Just feck off

I cannot wait for the super fans to explain how being level with Brentford is acceptable?

I hope Slot gets sacked tomorrow morning. enough of low blocks, we are f**king Liverpool.

Liverpool fc ruining weekends since August 2025 x

FFS. I genuinely hate that lot.

we had loads of chances to score 2nd half

Gary Neville is a C*nt

 

[Who's Kissing Cameras?]

PL: Liverpool 1 v 2 Man City Szoboszlai 74’ Silva 84’ Haaaland 90+4’​

League's become a farce. Gets worse every year. The money will dry up soon because the product is horrid.

Can't understand how we lost after that 2nd half performance. We are in a big big trouble for the 5th place

Everything's fine. No one worry

Terminate Gakpo’s contract

I'd prefer to see Wirtz playing on the left with Hugo than see Gakpo start another game for us.

Two points ahead of Everton is pretty damming.

Champions League qualification is in real jeopardy.

Six league wins since September just isn't good enough.

Neville is a dickhead.

The Virgil upfront thing isn’t new

But the Ali STAYING up top now is a new tactic…

Our tactics as of late have literally been give it to Dom and expect a worldie. And bless him he's delivered but what can you do when this team is so, so ineptly managed.

Stop breaking the golden rule, all individual errors this, the set up is outstanding

Story of the season, take the lead and then take foot off the gas and revert to cowardly, tepid shite.

39 points from 75.

The whole operation needs a reset. We're one injury to either Konate or van Dijk away from being fecked at centre back. We have no recognised right back except for a lad who might as well negotiate a release from his contract to save his career. We're now another midfielder down because we shat the bed tactically again after taking a deserved lead. And we've signed someone for the fecking summer and no one else in a month-long transfer window? Seriously, enough is enough, this is beyond a fecking joke. They could sack Slot tomorrow or not bother and I wouldn't care either way, something is deeply, deeply wrong at this club.

Lovely stuff

Ref took the piss there. Let the goal stand, and blow for full time. Now our third choice right back is suspended over fck all.

Ref bad for following rules boo hoo.

Ridiculous VAR intervention at the end. Just let the goal stand and move on - the nitpicking to try and find any reason to rule goals out is infuriating.

Slott needs to go. Great 1st season but totally found out this season. He'll go as a legend but we've been poor all season. The 9losses in 12 being the worst run since the 50s. He's not cutting it in the premiership and no way are we getting or deserve top 4.

Poor taste from Lijnders to be celebrating like that imo

Poor taste from Lijnders to be celebrating like that imo

Don't, the holier-than-thou crowd will give you a telling off.

Sounds like there’s two factions on the forum. Sounds familiar.

 

[stevoc]

Thought they'd won when I seen they were winning late on, just seen the result

 

[DarkLord1984]

Glorious.

 

[Sakasaka]

"The money will dry up" after spending half a billion to be terrible is pretty funny

 

[Who's Kissing Cameras?]

Arne thread is open!

You’re gonna love this…

Arne Slot​

And here they come - crawling out from under their rocks when we lose, but nowhere to be seen when we thrashed Marseille, Qarabag and Newcastle.

Go and support Chelsea or City you part-time wannabe reds

I was here for all of them. So were most people who are posting. Stop with this nonsense, please.

PS - Qarabag? Marseille? You have to beat what's in front of you but neither would be top half in the PL. They're not badges of honor. Hodgson level shit.

Nah, this forum is a dickhead magnet this season, and if you can't see people's posting patterns then take your blinkers off pal.

Chelsea and united firing their managers and getting something out of the players really isn't helping Slots cause here. being level with Brentford at this stage is shocking

Worms coming out of the woodwork, as expected at first possible disappointment.

If you believe Slot sets them out to give away the win you must be something of a special kind of stupid person. The players throw any plan out the window and start hoofing it anywhere, inviting pressure, stop running. Thats a mental thing, and also a symptom of lacking quality to come off the bench. Jones was the only option he had, thats it.

Anyway, I am sure you all will get your wish at some point. And we could end up regressing alot worse than this, I mean some of you must dream of copying the way of running things like Man Utd and Chelsea. New manager bounce every season.

First possible disappointment

Class of 25 all desperate for us to sack Slot.

Who?

Quote from: Kashinoda on Today at 06:40:21 pm

People thinking this is some weird untennable tipping point are living on another planet to be honest.

Losing to City, frankly due to poor finishing and Alisson of all people losing his head, is not a career ender. Especially on the back of some really good performances.

It’s not about losing to City it’s the season in total, it’s the current run of form which has again been poor.

Every bad result and every bad performance is another marker that raises doubts and there have been far too many of them this season. We have been woefully coached, we’ve looked unprepared for the task at hand in a massive chunk of our games this season. His job is to implement a plan and find solutions to problems, he’s seemingly done neither.

I wanted him to stay and I wanted him to find solutions but the need for a change in the summer is becoming closer and closer to a certainty, our league form and performances have been atrocious, it doesn’t matter if it’s City or Forest, we can’t be losing games at Anfield.

Quote from: killer-heels on Today at 06:46:45 pm

See the season out. He is still a top manager and could turn it around. If he doesnt, then so be it, any decisions now are for the summer.

I'm really struggling to see how he is going to turn this around, but I suppose all we've got is hope right now.

Imo I don't want to be in the Europa League and neither the people upstairs. And if this coach can't close in the #Ucl places he needs to go. Waiting after the season is not good enough. If we can get a coach that can get us the #Ucl places then go hire him.

Why? Just do it now. Let a new manager bed in, ready for next season. Slot is achieving nothing, things will only get worse. We’re just wasting time.

Get who? There is only one available now and he's not good enough.

Xabi not good enough?

Quote from: Garlicbread on Today at 06:45:54 pm

His style of football is so boring this season.

Not for the opposition. They must be loving all the late goals

We are on level with Brentford - and that is after we spent £450 M. That is crazy!

I think the squad has some holes in it but I think pretty much every manager in the league would fancy themselves to get more out of the team than Slot has this season.

Sounds like Ruben.

Quote from: Nick from HR on Today at 06:37:58 pm

It will become toxic for him now.

It’s a shame as he’s a decent man.

A really decent man. I hope people can keep that in mind. He delivered the title and has represented the club extremely well both on and off the pitch in some very difficult circumstances.

It is time though.

Gakpo and Salah are terrible, absolutely terrible this season, and they get a lot of the ball in dangerous areas and do nothing with it. Title winning teams do not have gaps in the squad. We didn't last year, partly because Gakpo and Salah were playing at peak levels.

After 80th minute: we fell to complete pieces. Are we not fit?

Liverpool (0.11) 0-2 (1.89) Man City

Quote from: sminp on Today at 06:43:55 pm

You’re right, I do know it. He’s a poor manager but I was trying to be gentle.

A poor manager? Won the league in his first season and only our second title in 35 seasons.Diatribe!

So many Slot-inners. Fair play he did win the league.

 

[Adebisi's Hat]

Xabi could be a lot of fun , the story sounds weirdly familar, underperforming dutch manager gets replaced by Latin genius who plays 3 at the back. What could possibly go wrong.

And then that manager underperforms and they bring in one of their former players who was an English midfielder. Hopefully that last part doesn’t go as well for Gerrard as it did for us

Yes, And the fun continues

 

[Hoof the ball]

Kee Thomas is the new Fester. He's worse than Fester and Husan combined.

 

[tomaldinho1]

My prediction (dream) was that Slot would get sacked and they’d lure back Klopp, but he’d completely tank his legacy and get sacked. The Stevie G comes in a does an Amorim on them.

 

[Scanny]

As fun as this is today I can never take pleasure in a 115 win.

Their wins are meaningless mate.

On the other hand, pool losses are excellent.

Exactly how I feel about it. Who gives a shit what City do? Its meaningless.

Never gets old. Fascinating in a way

 

[Martial'sEmergingSmile]

From....today...somehow? Post match even.

I've been intending to write a thing about Wirtz, because I have grown more and more impressed with him. To the point that he is currently my favourite player, and I sneakily think he might be the best player in the league.

He was a unique relationship with the ball. I don't know if I have seen a player with Wirtz's feel for the ball before.

 

[Oscar Bonavena]

Wow, that Arne thread is golden, that's where the really bitter stuff comes out!

No wonder they normally lock it!

 

[DarkLord1984]

From....today...somehow? Post match even.

Best player in the league

 

[BarryWinks]

From....today...somehow? Post match even.

Pretty sure that is not in reference to a ‘football’. Most definitely a different type of ball.

 

[BarryWinks]

You forget replacing the bald Dutch with ex-midfielder Latin coach with full hair angle too. Too many similarities.
