Just want to get this over the line now so we can get fucking smashed on multiple occasions and boil piss on an industrial scale.
The actual football can get in the bin. Half-arsed, slow, laborious, lacking convictionā¦I hope to fuck weāre not watching what weāve watched post-Newcastle (at Anfield) next season because if we are Iām done.
You can call it cry-arsing, ungrateful, entitled or whatever you want, the fact is the last 2 months have seen the worst football from a Liverpool team in well over a decade.
Gave MOTM votes to VVD, Grav and Tsimikas but the current standings suggest I was watching a different match.
Harsh I think. We were, understandably poor in the season we had no centre backs, and a decade takes us back to 2015, pre Klopp.
We totally dominated Leicester and should have had three or four. It was only our finishing that was off really.
Iāll call an over exaggerated mistruth, which it is.
We have been a poor compared to our early season form but this aināt the worst in 10 years. Theyāre still picking up results and the football has been worse at multiple points in the past 10 years
How many times have we said that? We are the most profligate team in the division by some distance.
We did dominate Leicester, that much is true, but it was like watching a half-asleep cat toy with a mangled sparrow instead of putting it out of itās misery.
There may have been times when it has dropped off which is only natural, but what I watched today was a team that is trying to win a league title, is virtually full-strength and was playing a beaten, shambles of a team, and yet at no point did I think the game was won.
We struggled because our 4 CBās were all crocked at the same time and we ended up playing our best CMās as CBās. Plus we were carrying the usual 3 or 4 sick-notes.
The circumstances now are the polar opposite but I donāt remember the football being as turgid as it has been the last 2 months.
Next week weāre going to win the league and I will dance and sing with joy.
If other fans want to wallow in misery in the hour of our triumph, thatās up to them.
Iāve experienced enough desolate seasons to appreciate the good times when they come along.
Itās odd because last season the football post the Man Utd league game was poor.
Weāve had worse spells in:
2020-21
2022-23
2023-24
Pre Covid I think we didnāt have many bad spells but Kloppās first season was average. February has basically taken it out of us but saying that weāve at least got results in the league.
We also had a really shit run after the near quadruple season.
Look, I get weāre not playing well, but in all honesty I totally understand why we are struggling. I heard the analogy the other day, that the players are trying to carry a Ming vase through a crowded room. We have been odds on for this thing for ages - can you imagine if weād managed to throw it away. The players are nervous and tired. When we win the league youāll see the weight lift off the players shoulders.
