That disappeared already, thank fuck. That was my doom scenario I have been on for last two months, lolol.

What would've been worse is spurs finishing outside top 4...us finishing 4th and somehow them winning the sodding thing and Arsenal winning Europa and us back where we started.  And Spurs fan tralala hahahaha hahaha. 

Lucky no nightmare lol. Though this in a way.. Is. 

Let's hope we can be mighty Thursday and not go out with a wimper

Klopp could probably do wonders with our lot.. Shame we never got him. 

yup he won 4-0 vs barcelona with milner , henderson in the starting lineup and origi scoring 2 goals. thats like drinkwater and kovacic starting and tammy abraham scoring 2 goals. basolutly crazy wahat he made out of this mediocre squad, albeit by investing 400m on top of transforming average players into worldbeaters

The worst part about this is players will now want to play for Liverpool

Imagine being a United fan right now, btw. About to see your most bitter rival win the CL and your local rival win the PL. 😂😂😂 And that's after you yourself miss out on CL footy by drawing to the rock bottom side.

Let's hope Sunday goes how it's meant to... They can have one trophy not both!

Its the belief as well. From the off. None of this play half a game and switch off crap.  That and the scary pace. We did well losing 2-0 way we can play.

They have scary pace in their side something we absolutely lack. We need to get pace merchants once Hazard is gone. Thats the future.

 No. We would still have went.

Only way doom scenario could have happened is

SHITTY

BINDIPPERS (or flip for triple gut punch)

MANURE

CHELS

YIDS

ARSE (or Arse then yids in 6th)

And then yids win CL and Arse EL

6 teams cannot go. So Chels in 4th get the chop.

Manure collapse broke up the doom.

Lucky it came when it did. And somehow we managed to claw a space back. Still don't think be worth much if the ban is in place or we buy willy nilly that will do shit but see what occur.

Best part is they still have to LIVE in Merseyside! The cock-block of all time. Only place worse would be Brummie land. Well, tbf, there are a lot of shitholes once you leave London. Lolol.

Klopp's all action direct system protects his midfield, if they can hit a through ball into space, defend well and have good athleticsm they're set, whereas us and City need midfielders comfortable in possession first and foremost as our first aim is to control possession and the game.

CL was ALL (due to bans) about blocking teams (Manure and Arse or Spuds) in trans market and then the extra millions of quid in prize ££££££££.

Will they be blocked? Arsenal signed Lacazette while out of it and Auba at a point another season out of it was looking likely, while United got Pogba and Ibra to give up CL footy at clubs in good positions to strongly challenge to play Europa at United, also Kante, Jorginho, Luiz, Sarri gave up CL football to come here. 

I don't think it's half as bad a market handicap as people think.

Let's hope we can spend it..and not the way we have been or doing deals the way we have been which has been bad. 

Otherwise make it a lot harder! Be shit to go back into Europa should we mess up group wise. 

Plus we haven't gone any further then the last 16 since we reached the semi final in 2014.

So that be lovely to. Dreaming ahead lol.

[Vesper 27,329]

I really wanted spuds and manure in 5th and 6th. Manure complied. Spuds can still go easily now via 4th or 3rd OR A CL final win.

I wanted no CL for them to hasten up break up of the team and Poch to leave. Eriksen is going to Real. Hopefully Kane goes soon, to Barca (perfect fit) or PSG or Juve (as Real have Jovic now). All that is needed then is some huge club to pull Son. I would take him IN A HEARTBEAT. Dele Alli is most overrated English player in game atm, other than maybe Pickford. 2 of their 3 starting CB's will probably leave, and Trippier is going to Napoli. I see them in 2, 3 years as a 10th place team as soon as Poch and Kane go. Levy is one cheap fuck, he will never drop hundreds of millions to maintain.

Pace with brains. We have plenty of quick players and Hazard, Willian, CHO who are rapid, Kante, Barkley, RLc, Pedro, Rüdiger are quick as well. Also Liverpool and city only have a few absolute rapid players (walker, sterling, sane, mane, salah) the rest are just nippy. But the difference is to make decisions in the same pace as your feet run and have the mental urgency to execute them inmediately. This is what we lack. Not even hazard makes the perfect decision most of the time but that is where good coaching comes in apart from learning ability. If Willian had the decisionmaking and game intelligence to match his speed and skill he would be the best player in the world.

But i agree, the more quality pace merchants the better. Even an otherwise wellbalanced mediocre player can cause tons of problem when he has insane pace
