Does anyone have that video from last season where a lad and his dad do a guard of honour in their living room? It would make for hilarious watching right now.

What is this "banter club" bollocks, who gives a feck what any other team's fans say
“Banter club” is a term specifically reserved for 14 year olds on Twitter who, surprisingly, do not dictate the discourse
This is relegation form and at the moment there is absolutely no sign of us scoring. If you cannot score then all the other team need is a goal. The only player who looked like scoring tonight was Origi but he was taken off.
Not surprised at that. Players trying to walk the ball into the net every attack, taking too many touches instead of just shooting. That’s the title over - a throwback to when December/January used to mess up our season.

Ah well still a lot to play for with CL and FA Cup.
Just sums us up at the moment, guy who shouldn't be on the pitch, falls over in the penalty area, gets a penalty which he scores, it's genuinely surreal.
Best front three in the world everyone, no way we could possibly improve on this.
fecking sad!! We have hit rock bottom! Thought played some good football at times, but some players regressed at a rapid rate!
Nothing is going right at the moment, not the fall of the ball, not the chances, not the refereeing decisions but something is fecking putrid here.
Are we allowed "wet the bed" yet? Be worried about the dross we've seen this season? Burnley, Fulham, West Brom, Brighton, Newcastle....Or should we still keep hoping United win games for the "bants" that it'll keep "Ole at the wheel".
Im fecking sick of watching the same game more often than not since the restart.
The stolen season....

And you can see the lads struggling with it themselves.
Hard to accept that this is where we are. But we are and we deserve to be where we are.
Absolutely bereft of attacking ideas and spark.
We have been found out this season and its coming home to roost.
TAA needs dropping ffs. Who said he was best full back in the world?
We're actually fecking shit. Unreal. This one is on Origi but that chance was gifted to us. We barely make any proper chances for ourselves. So many players are playing like shells of themselves.
Night as well play Neco Williams at the minute. Trent is fecking woeful. Jürgen needs blame too, he's changed the way we play in terms of pressing from midfield to combat the lack of central defenders, but it's pointless. We might lose a game or two, but we're doing that anyway, but we'd certainly win more.
never a pen for me, put it this way if Mane or Salah were in that position they'd have been lucky to escape a yellow card for simulation.

We're low on confidence and overthinking everything.
I am about as positive as you get, but that was actually shocking. I'd take it on the chin if it wasn't for the recent run of similar performances. What the actual f*ck has happened since the Palace game?
Not really arsed about the anfield record, it had to end at some point and better Burnley than the Mancs.
What concerns me is it feels like I’m watching the same performance every week with differing levels of opposition which sometimes makes it seem better or worse.
These teams know how to play us now.....and we have no solution
Well that's going to happen when you put the same team out for 4 years running.
That was a pen. I am sick of watching us try these stupid little dinks into the box to absolutely nobody at every opportunity.
Shit result. Beat the Mancs and I'll be happy.
Need to fix the team. Defence isn't just the issue, there is nothing going for this team at the moment. No creativity, bad passing, can't finish. Have to look to play differently, find a new source of creativity.
Not good enough. Teams have is sussed unfortunately and we dont have the answer
Form is infectious just like fecking covid19. First a few players - now the whole team is in poor form and bereft of belief and confidence. Teams are just clogging their box ... and we have neither the idea or the form to overcome them
Klopp has some serious problems now to sort out
7 hours and 20 minutes without a Premier League goal. At the moment it looks like a safe bet to double it. The commentators said we’d run out of ideas on 70 odd minutes. I beg to differ, you actually have to have an idea in order to run out of them. Not created one decent chance in all that time, we’ve had a couple of chances gifted to us but no-one has been close to being good enough to put it away.
If keepers were plucking shots out of the corners three or four times a game you could say we’ve been unlucky, but they haven’t. It’s been crap, frankly, for 12 minutes short of 5 games. If you don’t score you run the risk of conceding a soft one at the other end. Architects of our own downfall.
Top 4 is the target in the league now, but even that requires a dramatic upturn. It’s been relegation form, and performances, since Christmas.
The club need to hire someone who can teach our players shithousery. We barely appeal for anything. Mane getting taken out after kicking the ball is surely a free kick anywhere else on the pitch.
Where was Thiago 2nd half. Couldn't he have played attacking mid?
It's not the players, it's the way we are playing. I don't know what it is but something clearly is not right. Nothing is going our way and we do feck all to change it, we've thrown the title away through this terrible run. I think we will be in a struggle to get the Top 4 in all honesty, I don't know how we get out of this mess.
Not sure where they will find a fix to this before the summer transfer window
27 attempts. 0 goals. Quite incredible really.
Oh well, all runs come to an end. The penalty was unlucky. Understandable as Fab isn't a natural defender.
We really need to find a way to score. Thought we passed the ball sharper in the second half, but just needed more creativity and incisiveness.

2 points ahead of West Ham having played the same number of games. Absolute embarrassment.
Too many players have turned to shit. How the feck do we turn this around
Mentality monsters eh? Pathetic. Not bothered their arses since they won the league. One of the most shambolic title 'defences' you're ever likely to see.

I'd snap your arm off for 4th place.
and the winners are:

Some sort of cosmic balance at play. Basically been unbeatable for the last four years while Trump in power, barely won a tackle since Biden in. The balance is shit vs good in the world off piste...
Come to think of it, we were pretty good during the Bush years too, but won feck all with Obama....

Klopp saying Alisson told him he didn't touch him. There is literally video evidence of him wiping the guy out. He clearly, not even debatable, fouls him.

No club does victimhood like Liverpool. Its a genuine pathology

To think not long ago these arrogant twats were saying before our games "I hope United win this game to keep Ole in a job". We're now 6 points ahead of them :lol:

How can you say he doesn’t touch him? Wipes out his standing leg. :lol:

We'll always have the 7-0 against Palace and a 4-1 against the Villa U-12s, nobody can take that away from us.

Honestly, this team hasn't been mentality monsters or played intense football since 2019.

It is what it is.
Decent first given the context and our form, piss poor second half. The subs made us worse.Title challenge over, top4 is the best hope.
so we’ve regressed into the easiest team to play against. Put 10 players behind the ball and let us run round and round with the odd chip cross. Wait for your one chance and score.
No luck as usual, the c*nt who should have been sent off not only wins the penalty but scores it but it was soft as feck, Barnes passed Ali who then puts his leg back on Ali and gets the penalty, Salah doesn't get that. At the other end Mané hacked down late but nothing.
This feels like the first time under Klopp where there are big issues to sort out as an attacking unit. Since he's been manager, we've carried a big threat going forward, except for the odd game here and there. So sterile at the moment.
We look bereft of any inspiration or coherence right now, have no form (or luck) and are heading into a really crappy set of fixtures. Depressing.
feck this shit. feck everything. feck losing to fecking cloggers. feck VAR, feck the refs, but mostly feck this fecking shit.
By the time we'll play Spurs it'll be over a month since we scored in the league.
It's been a horrendous title defence no matter what way you analyse it.
Never a penalty in a million fecking years but not surprised it’s given the way things are going.
playing burnley is always a lottery

just how many crosses did Trent feck up? change up front didn't change much.
needed leadership out there with Hendo out, ie. Millner
Since the 7-0, we've played 5 league games.
Had 89 shots.
Scored 1 solitary goal.
How
This feels like the bad old days...in January and just looking forward to August and the start of a new season
69 home games undefeated

and in the 70th we get fecked
Playing with zero confidence or form, plenty of effort is there. Just need to keep going to get ourselves out of the slump
When did Mane become so predictable? Absolutely telegraphs his every move at present. Mo isn't much better.
Anyone blaming luck is just deflecting.
Annoyingly these were our 'easy' games. Our next lot of fixtures is much tougher. Although playing teams that come at us a bit more might help us find more space in the final third.
Fair to call a spade a spade and call out poor form/decisions but lets not slag off some of the players who have made football amazing to watch for the last 3 years.
It was a penalty. Let’s not try to look for excuses. Keeper rushed out and missed the ball. Always going to be given if there’s any contact on the attacker.
Can’t stop thinking about what Klopp said after Palace: “I’d rather win seven games 1-0 than one game 7-0.
Why do we want to cross so much all of a sudden? And not only cross, cross pathetically. Aimless, floaty crosses into defenders who will head them away in their sleep.
Lack of imagination, lack of tenacity, lack of effort. Not near good enough.
Really poor. Whole month without a goal in the league. Completely loss of ideas, confidence and luck.
feck this season off. So much pressure on the next 6 games now. Win those and we probably still won't be anywhere near the top of the Premier League table but oh well. Only ourselves to blame.
Why do we continue to play the same way week in, week out and expect any different? Finding this very hard to accept this evening, so avoidable.
There are two ways to be killed by a dog.
1- licked to death by a 16yr old Labrador
2 - Gouged at the throat by a rabid Rottweiler (or insert other lethal dogs here) .
Right now, we are the Labrador with a tongue ulcer, that doesn't really want to lick anything.
Last two seasons we were pitbulls with elastic bands around our balls.

The lack of self awareness there has always been really quite honestly worrying

Oh man Andy@Allerton is there going on about refs and corruption like the good old days. He's like the footy version of QAnon.

Was it all corrupt the last two years or so I wonder?
