I know a few Liverpool fans and to a man they don't want klopp to go and certainly don't want Gerrard to take over next albeit they want to see him manage Liverpool one day after he proves himself at another premier league side.
RAWK Goes Into Meltdown - Quadruple Watch 2022/23
- Thread starter Damien
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Steve Bruce is available, I believe
Let's hope he gets it, goes on a bit of a run with them and they offer him the gig full time. Then the whole league could ironically sing 'Stevie's at the wheel!' every game
@No Idea For Nickname great work
Thought this comment was a bit funny;
"Come back Maine all is forgiven."
Remember the Maine ?

Sp nice to watch them lose twice. 
I'd certainly take on the job.... Salah would be a smashing left back. Keep TAA at RB and put Allison in the CM. What could go wrongSteve Bruce is available, I believe
Not RAWK but still meltdown related. #FSGOUT trending on Twitter. They are on about banners and protests at games. God imagine if they get rid of their owners before the Glazers go and some Saudi lot take them over...
Deleted some posts. Please remember this is a thread for RAWK posts not to discuss their team etc

So one of my best mates who is a Pool fan is utterly convinced that United are shite and that Liverpool are simply suffering from "burn out." (but not shite) The logic that comes from denial is something truly profound.
Had this exact same conversation on Friday
No sane liverpool supporter would be calling for Gerrard. They saw what happened with us and Ole.
Liverpool's current plight shows fergie's greatest strength as a manager and how difficult it is to replicate. Knowing when to break up a team amd stay ultra competative. When a end of a cycle has been reached. When complancency kicks in and the hunger and desire is gone.
Nuts isn't it? And they genuinely believe it too! I suppose we have the advantage of having accepted the dross we had become over a period of time. You get to a point where you know you're shite. Liverpool have been improving immensely since circa 2013 and have gotten used to largely being a threat. It's the start of the grieving process for a lot of Liverpool fans, and illogical denial comes with the turf.Had this exact same conversation on Friday
Please, Gods, make this happen. I’d suffer them winning a few games to ensure he gets made permanent.
Yes exactly. Most people don’t realise how hard it must be to keep motivating the same players who’ve already won and achieved everything to keep going with the same level of effort and energy.
A key part of that for Fergie was constantly refreshing the squad with a couple of big signings. I don’t think Liverpool have done that enough.
That and ensuring the quality and mindset was regularly coming through the youth system. With the exception of TAA, they've not produced anyone of note yet under Klopp and have been reliant on an over-performing transfer policy which looks to be less successful than it has been in recent years.
I agree. Actually his squad usage and redevelopment has been questionable at best. I looked back at the CL final squad fron 2018 - 7 of the starting XI from that match played last night too (6 started, Milner came on as a sub). None of the bench are still at the club. So I feel he has neglected the midfield and to an extent the bench to just keep pumping in attackers. He had signed Fabinho and Thiago, fair enough great players but somewhat aging and with a question mark about Thiago's fitness and injury record. But then attacking wise: Minamino, Jota, Diaz, Carvalho... Its like he only had intent on keeping the front 3 fresh when ironically, he let his best man go in Mane, stuck Salah on a silly contract which pretty much ensures he stays at the club even on his inevitable decline (an error Manchester United were always making) and Firmino comes back into the mix looking undroppable.
Edited for somehow forgetting spunking 100m on the Andy Carroll regen.
Fergie got that wrong at times i.e big signings. However rather than big signings id say signings with the right hunger and desire. Its not easy to do otherwise lots of other managers would have done it.
And I remember a certain Souness and the rest of the Liverpool mob saying that United were only protesting because we were not successful anymore.
Oh how the turntables.
It would work short term, just like Ole, but the longer he’s in, the worse it will get and the longer it will take to fix when he’s gone.
Another club legend Souness wasn't exactly brilliant as Liverpool manager either.
Do people actually read the posts in this thread?
Oxymoron.
It was poetic that they won their one league title during lockdown. Beautiful that they couldn't celebrate it.
No fans in the next season either so they couldn’t sing “Championes” or “Stand up for the Champions“ or bring giant inflatable PL trophies to OT. If they HAD to win it, it was the perfect way to win it for us
Hopefully they're stupid enough to turn on Klopp.
RAWK thread here, take the discussions elsewhere.
Admittedly I actually had to take a break from United last season, when football is such a big part of your life/identity it can be downright depressing when things are going so poorly.
Agreed, I was much more emotionally invested when I was younger but really at the end of the day, it's just a game, I learnt to enjoy it even during the bad times United are going through because honestly I don't think I can handle more negativity in my life.
Sometimes I feel people act over dramatic about how much football impacts them to seem like bigger fans, to make it out that they care more. Or they just need to turn it off for a bit, because that's not normal, healthy or the way for a rational person to react to entertainment.
Just keep an outlook that teams go through cycles, and ours ended and will come back again sooner or later, no need to get depressed over it.
The absolute state of that lot over there complaining about FSG. I thought they were the net spend heroes of the world. When everything goes well those clowns at RAWK make out like they are the best in the world at everything… Allison best GK in the world, VVD best defender of all time, Thiago the best midfielder who scored the best goal of all time, salah the current best player in the world… such a painful bunch of feckwits the lot of them… now that things are going bad, blame it on the owners. Twats.
I also expect these are new Liverpool fans. Because this "bad" period is still a lot more joyous and wonderful than the majority of the last 20 odd years before Klopp.
He's always injured as well.
