I thought they weren't allowed? If they were, they'd have done it ages ago

I care slightly more about the European Super Cup purely because we qualified by winning one of the cups. The Community Shield didn't matter to me because we were only there as City won both the cups... If we'd won the FA Cup to qualify, I probably would have been more interested!

It's mad I'm already hoping city drop points today given how good they have been last 2 seasons. Anxiously checking the score of their game.

We have won 1 trophy in the last 7 years.

And we have posters who want a 2nd string in the Super Cup final. I understand a 2nd string in the League Cup & FA Cup. But a one off final. Bizarre stuff.

If we won it and didn't win anything else this season the super cup wouldn't make a difference tbh. Lets say we retained the CL or won a domestic cup, I wouldn't say we won a double either for example. Its nice to win but thats all.

I'd play a strong enough team but we are away to Southampton 3 days and even at this early stage is a must win. Any players with even the slightest fitness concern should be left out, I'd say we'll be fine for both games anyway.

Muahahaha

I think even with resting a few players we should still be beating a Chelsea with a new manager and no Hazard or David Luiz.

I want the trophy because losing to Chelsea always hurts even if it is a glorified friendly.

I'm still not sure how its allowed maybe that's why they are on YouTube and free but seemingly the 3pm games are up at 5:15 according to their YouTube homepage.

The first step towards a legitimate streaming service hopefully.

Ali going to be out 4 to 6 weeks. Not too bad I guess.

Find it baffling some fans couldn’t care less about winning the super cup (& community shield). It’s called creating a winning mentality.

daheff

So when Kelleher is fit does he start or Adrian?

Have to say 6m for migs & Adrian for free was a decent bit of work by the club

A lot of me thinks we had to pay a lot of cash on transfer addons from winning champions league- hence no cash this summer for transfers

I’d like to see us win Super Cup. Might be a glorified friendly to some, but it’s silverware to keep winning mentality going.

Super Cup is a nothing event, you get no kudos for it, it contributes to nothing tangible. Send the kids and insult both Chelsea and UEFA.

I feel the same tbh.

I'd trade 3 points v Southampton next Saturday for losses in both super cup and world clubs.

Why not win all three though

It's just prioritizing. The winning mentality is there already.

Hey, that'd be ideal!

The club is considering taking Lonergan in on a short term contract.

Adrian is not a reliable or trustworthy keeper. At West Ham, whilst a good shot stopper he was constantly prone to charging off his line in a rash manner or attempting to catch crosses outside his reach. Klopp will be wishing Alisson a very speedy recovery.

I thought Adrian did well yesterday when called upon. Some reception he got running on !

Is it? I think it will be if we win the super cup and WC Cup. But atm we’ve won 1/5 finals under Klopp? Is that winning mentality to you?

I'd say you get more of a winning mentality from winning the CL than either the Super Cup or World Club Cup. They're nice to get to but not priority trophies.

Well we just won the biggest club competition. Think it's there alright

A winning mentality comes from winning more then 1 trophy imo

This is new tv contract those clips used to be done behind a paywall by a certain newspaper sky had them last season and was on their football app were you had to log in with your sky details to see. Now they have them on YouTube instead.

Winning mentality to me is winning under pressure in big competitions week after week when the pressure is really on. We did it all last season. There will be no real pressure to win the super cup.

I agree though, we should take it serious. To be clear I do want to win it. I would just rather prioritise the league if we have to even at this early stage. You are probably right though, winning finals can become a habit even if the competition seems unimportant to a lot of people.

'Some Fans' are probably of a generation where Liverpool were regularly winning the big 'important' trophies, not feeding of scraps like the Community Shield or Super Cup*, or even an odd League Cup here or there.

*I'm fully aware that you need to win the CL or EL to get to the super cup, but it should never be counted as a competition win the following season if won.

Like in 2001 when we won 5 trophies in 1 calendar year, with 3 of them actual trophies, and 2 being micky mouse, everyone remembers it as the treble cup win, not the 5 cup win.

To also be clear, of course I want us to win the Super Cup, but I won't feel remotely as down if we lose as I did when Real Madrid beat us last season. It'll be forgotten about in a day or 2.

And if you offered me now the following scenario;

Win the Super Cup but draw to Southampton vs lose the Super Cup 0-5 and beat Southampton 1-0, I'm sorry I'm taking the 3 PL points all day.

Agree 100%.

The thing that irks me about these micky mouse comps is the potential disruption of important games. The bar is so high in the league now that there's not much room for error.

I think Klopp will be take it serious btw.

He will, but in the context of the season as a whole, and the League has to be his priority this season. so Wednesday's and next weekend's games will be planned for accordingly.

It would be just super to win the Super Cup, absolutely super.

Ken Tucky

Very hard turn around for Chelsea.
I'd hope we can win it without too much fuss. Chelsea are a much poorer team this year without Hazard.
Hopefully my confidence isn't misgided...although it generally is lol!!?

Muahahaha

Not the worst but during that time we have Soton, Burnley and Chelsea away, Arsenal & Newcastle at home. Need Adrian to step up as they all have the potential to be tight games
