It could be said but it would be off the mark.

Not having a pop at you, but they collapsed in fairly spectacular fashion.

By losing one of their last 14 games. Spectacular!

I know your right 40 points from a possible 45 is a spectacular collapse

The Palace game was spectacular.

Too hard.

Yeah 1 defeat in 19 league games was spectacular.

how bout you look at the pool results from Jan to May and get back to us on this "Collapse". :rolleyes:

I mean this is basic stuff to understand - Arsenal collapsed, Liverpool came out of nowhere to get to the top and ran out of steam spectacularly in Palace game

Grayditch · 10-07-2014 12:03PM

Jesus. Sanchez signs for Arsenal and already there is little digs thrown between a few.

Shtop lads.

10-07-2014 12:05PM

Any spectacular signings on the horizon for us?

That's all well and good but Arsenal have only won one trophy in the past 9 years.

And they made a serious attempt at making a balls of that one too.

It's the CL that really maters, not as if Sanchez would care about the FA Cup. Even the cup only matters to Arsenal fans because it was a running joke by rival fans. Bit like Ozil really! That's a joke btw.

Look you have a narrative in your head because of who you support. In reality Liverpool lost one game in 18 in 2014.

Doesn't seem to be. Lots of young players with a lot of potential but would be nice to bring in one proven quality player.

RasTa · 10-07-2014 12:07PM

Liverpool didn't collapse but any football fan with an ounce of knowledge like noodler will understand why he choose Arsenal.

There is a reason Arsenal will be top seeds for the CL draw

Grayditch · 10-07-2014 12:08PM

Does London have a Nando's? I'd go there.

To he fair they are a better bet than Liverpool on the face of it.

If we finish outside the top 6 this season I'd call that a spectacular collapse.

7th to 2nd sits well with me

I can see why Arsenal is a more attractive option than Liverpool at the moment;

Consistent involvement in the Champions League Football
Attractive brand of Football
Attractive City

But I don't believe it's a given that every player will choose Arsenal over Liverpool..

BTW I think Sanchez is a cracking player and with Walcott and Sanchez in the team I think we will see the best of Ozil, which threading balls in behind defences and creating chances..

viper006 · 10-07-2014 12:15PM

Id would be seriously concerned and actually baffled If we sign Bony or davies from Swansea. I could live with davies as cover but its would be a very underwhelming transfer for what has been a problem position for years now. Can only hope Enrique can come back and regain some of the better form his had before injury.
Bony on the other hand would actually be a farcical replacement for suarez, I really hope BR doesn’t think borini, lambert, bony are strikers that will cut in the CL and will shoot us into top 4 again this season. Bony not a bad striker but as a back up to losing out on sanchez, it would literally be ridiculous.

Having consoled ourselves for last few seasons that will finally get the like of costa, willian, salah once we get CL football we could instead end up siging 5 players from Southampton and Swansea and losing our best player. I cant help be worried about the gathering of pace with stories linking us to Bony.

Utopia Parkway · 10-07-2014 12:15PM

Sanchez by all accounts is not a particularly deep thinker. I doubt he went through both Arsenal and Liverpool's squads with a fine tooth comb and mulled over the strengths and weaknesses of the respective managers over a glass of sherry. He was offered two two teams in the Champions League (well one so far technically) and chose to live in capital over the grim north.

Liverpool have lost players to bloody Spurs over the same reason. Let alone Arsenal.

Francie Barrett · 10-07-2014 12:16PM

The truth is probably a lot simpler. Arsenal offered to make Sanchez their top earner. I'd say that we wanted to pay him a lot less.

They still have tiny little balls. Which means they collapse whenever they're tested.

Well, I think that is moving the goalposts.

We have managed to qualify for the CL once in the last 6 years - which was our major aim.

Arsenal have managed this every year with relative ease - perhaps they collapse but by the time they do they have already gone miles past our own targets.

whatawaster wrote: »

If you exclude all Suarez's PL goals last season we still scored more than everyone bar City and Chelsea (and Chelsea would only have one more).

Yeah but we needed them goals with the defence as porous as it was. Suarez was also the top assister in the league and removing that seriously harms the number of Sturridge goals and Gerrard penalties.

The almost guarantee of CL football every year > winning the Carling Cup.

For me anyway but I'd wager for Alexis Sanchez as well.

rossie1977 · 10-07-2014 12:16PM

the manager plays a key ingredient in attracting players. i said it before (and got heat for it) but if rodgers was in charge of liverpool back in the day no chance would torres, masch, alonso etc have signed for the club at the time.

last few years the excuses were that liverpool lost out on numerous players due to no champions league involvement and now its something else...

From champions to 7th is a spectacular collapse.
