I thought Arsenal would kick on this season. Look as inconsistent as ever.

Just curious what made you think they would?

Not a fan of Rodgers at all however he schooled Arteta tonight.

He's a different level to Arteta tbf. More experience and it shows.

Genuinely no improvement since Emery, and if anything Arteta is backtracking on the groundwork he laid. They might be conceding slightly less but they’re creating nothing, and judging by Aubameyang sulking off the pitch there he’s not happy about it.

Arsenal were very poor. Looked flat and devoid of any inspiration. Poor all round.
Leicester's tactics were perfect.

Pretty congested at the top for talk of any team doing this or doing that this season tbf.

Vardy is amazing though.

Loafing Oaf

Didn't see that result coming, but I haven't been watching a whole lot of Arsenal...

Where is the iorny? I'd honestly love if this thread was used by people who actually wanted to give genuine opinions and discuss football it does get very bantery at times for me.

I thought they looked like they were gelling under Arteta, and got some big results the back end of last season.

How Rogers gifted United the CL last season I'll never know.

They finished above Chelsea too, didn’t they? so not really.

Gifted it to both of them, not just one.

Very generous of them to gift the 1 place they could have won to 2 teams.

Tbf to rodgers he had injuries to a lot of his main players and the squad wasnt good enough to cope come the run in but they seemed to massively lose confidence as well

Because opinions won't change with rivals, regardless,never have or will, not acknowledged at any rate.

The genuine is always lost in the mire.

Tbf you have blatant Liverpool fans stating Everton are doing it again etc and referring back to VVD. What other fans of other football clubs are doing that on the forum?

No. In the context of this discussion, you have people saying that. By just blanketing that as an opinion of "Liverpool Fans" it means you're stamping an opinion on millions of people for something you saw said by a few.

It's just an unhelpful point of view, and things would be better generally in here if instead of saying "liverpool fans think...", it was "poster x and poster y think". Or at very least "some Liverpool fans think..."

Last thing anyone anywhere needs right now is more broad reaching 'us V them' rhetoric.

(Not attributing this to you specifically, but just a general feeling I have on a specific use of language that's increasingly common all over boards, and society in general right now.)

Didn’t he do all the ground work for Klopp too.
Great manager.

I was referring to the Liverpool fans on this forum at the time Rebel not overall.

Literally just need to check the posters that where making those claims and it's obvious. It gets tedious when the same posters do it every time. I'm not referring to the good posters which Liverpool fans of course have on this forum. Yourself included.

Literally when Everton got a card one of the comments was " Is anyone surprised?" He's king of those type of posts. It's regular as well.

I have no problem with people thinking it's a red. I said it was a nasty tackle if intentional myself.

However when you have posters coming in looking for responses it's bound to happen.

Blanket statements are bound to happen unfortunately. If I was to go back through the thread at the time of posts most of them where by Liverpool fans regarding the red card and regarding last week, albeit subtly.

I edited the last comment to say im not specifically aiming that at you, but moreso at the conversation you were involved in.

The post you were replying to was itself replying to this;

It's not a red card even though it looks bad but all Liverpool fans think its a red card after last week. Everton will appeal it but to be honest the young lad they signed nkounkou looks a better player going forward than Digne.

That's just an unhelpful point of entry to a discussion as it's starting in bad faith.

And you're right, blanket statements do just happen, and will continue to happen by fans of every team. I just kinda hope that shining a bit of a spotlight on it every so often maybe makes people think twice, because I'm the kind of tosser that does those sorts of things

I just saw Depays message on his top when he scored. What the hell? Is this a thing now?

I thought it was photoshopped

Why even bring it up here if you didn't wanna get traction on your comment? There good friends,depay had similar injury,maybe virg was a friend to him during the time? It's not hard to see past the blinkers.

Having said that, I hate the whole social media looking for thanks,from celebs ..

Thoughts n prayers yada fckin yada

With all due respect, where the fck else is it to bring up? The Liverpool thread?

I have no idea other than I assume international teammate's. It's extremely cringe imo. I don't recall off hand other instances of international team mates doing this for someone.

More cringe on Depay than anyone else

Shano asked where else was he to post it. I'm just offering an alternative place.

I don't mind that it was posted here.

Does every conversation have to come back to VVD.

It's time Liverpool started to try live without him.

Well the two ex Everton players on MotD think it was a red a harsh one but still a red.

That was never a red card for Digne.
