Liverpool FC Premier League Champions 25/26 - Talk /Gossip/Rumours

What sort of a gap would you have expected to form when a team nets 61 points out of a possible 63?

City were ten points lower last season by game 21 compared to game 21 of 2019/20.

Next you'll be saying we only won the league because of the Pandemic!

Posted this back in January, we've now gone behind 13 times this season and our record from there is:

1 win, 2 draws, 10 losses.

No fightback in this team.

I think taking our foot off the throttle last year was a mistake. Although I do realise that it's near impossible to play to a level when there's no pressure on you. Still at the top level I don't think you can switch it back on easily when you've switched off. Just didn't sit right with me thinking of the Liverpool way back in the day.

Edit, always loved the way they used to toss the winner medals at them at the first training session back, "here ya go last year's winners medal, bit worthless now, this is this season."

No at this stage I don't think anyone can defend it,he needs to go. Unfortunately it looks like the decision makers at the club are.

Its mind boggling after the PSV game a contingency plan wasnt made 48 points with 10 ganes to go / 1 point from wolves spurs brighton subsequently absolute joke. Two wins there and we'd 2 more wins and a bag of draws to probably secure it. FSG seem have binned the multi club ownership thing that was floated. Not what will unfold from here.

Chelsea havent won at Everton in 8 games so there is that.

I actually find your response to my comment a bit more childish than my post.

I think the manager might say injuries, imbalances etc but I think the.two styles/philosophies etc are night and day.

As each players form started to drop off very few have bounced back and Slot's system tweaks this season haven't worked at all.

Even though i was Slot out from a long way back i had some sympathy with him in that what he didnt know about a job like liverpool like rotation etc and dealing with ego's is not something you learn over night. I now have moved on, his lack of pragmatism is nothing short of incredible. It borders on arrogance really. 12 players have played 87% of all the PL minutes and considering the level of under performance of some you cant be successful.

I’m not sure a fraud can win the premier league title in the modern era to be honest. But what I am sure of is that there is no future in this. Slot will most likely have successful stints elsewhere but it’s clear that he just can’t cope with PL sides. It’s over. I’ve said it before but it’s Déjà vu every week. No running. No intensity. No progress. Weak mentality. 4 wins in last 13 PL games is nowhere close to good enough. If Xabi is open to it I would pull the trigger during Int break.

Who are half the clowns?

For me the wind down and party after securing the title was where it all went wrong, and I was categorically opposed to that mentality. I still can't fathom what the thinking was. Basically he told the team to give up, and take effectively 4 months off or whatever when you include Summer. At that point you are relying on the individuals to mentally climb back up the ladder again to be premier league champs, and physically put the effort in too, that is a very difficult mentality to get to again imo. Jota's passing then stunted the effort too. Teams like United with Keane, or Leeds with Giles who had won titles would have been absolutely gunning to go again the next season.

I know people gave a lot of grace for the players etc., but for Slot, it was still his first season, and he way jumped the gun on that. Maybe after 5 or 6 gangbuster seasons something like that might be acceptable, but even then I dunno. Personally I think that decision is worse than any of his tactics, losses, lack of player rotations etc.

I suppose whenever I think about the absence of a proven 25 goal a season striker like Isak I then ask myself is one single lethal goalscorer the answer to this team's many problems and the answer is alway no. sadly.
