Liverpool were top dogs in the eighties, no one gives a shít. Yer as much "also-rans" as Spurs. 2 title challenges in 20 odd years doesn't change that.

I'm not a Liverpool fan, I'm a Celtic fan actually, was reading a bit of the thread here and spotted you having a go at a Liverpool fan who was saying Liverpool are in danger of becoming as irrelevant as Spurs. He was right to use Spurs as a marker of mediocrity and irrelevancy.

Hard to argue with a lot of this.

From last night, is this right or wrong, celebrating a penalties victory against a League 2 team?

Liverpool fans will each have their own opinion on the exact moment they knew Roy Hodgson was doomed at Anfield, but the England manager’s pre-match assessment of League Two Northampton Town may be a popular answer.

“They’ll be a formidable challenge,” Hodgson said, and Liverpool promptly tumbled out. Wednesday marked five years and a single day since that night. The mood was far less mutinous, but the result almost identical. Almost. If Napoleon had his Waterloo and Roy had his Northampton, Brendan may have just avoided his Carlisle. The lingering sensation is that it will be a temporary stay of execution.

This was the third time since that wretched night that Liverpool have faced lower league opposition at Anfield. Notts County forced extra-time, and Middlesbrough forced penalties. For so long it looked as if Carlisle might go one step further, only to be denied at the last by Adam Bogdan and some rotten penalty-taking.

I'd be of the view that 30pts after 17 games isn't harsh a target, didn't happen last year but needs to happen this year.

It has only happened once in the three previous seasons. Liverpool currently have 8 points after 6 games, in order to meet your 30 point target we have to average 2 points per game for the next 11 games.

Aston Villa (H)
Everton (A)
Tottenham (A)
Southampton (A)
Chelsea (A)
Crystal Palace (H)
Man City (A)
Swansea (H)
Newcastle (A)
West Brom (H)
Watford (A)

I'm not saying it's impossible, but given the rudderless nature of the team at the moment it doesn't seem likely.

Guys like Moreno and Can want to win and they are young enough not to have been beaten down by life! So I do not have any issues with that excitement. Also the tension would have been mighty.

They're practicing for whenever we get a significant win.

The form we are in right now the only game that looks winnable right now is Newcastle away we might get something from the Villa and Watford games.

Its possible if you get a better manager in. I dont see any other way unless a complete turn around is performed by everyone and it seems unlikely.

I'd never give any stick to players celebrating a win. Its not like they celebrated like it was Istanbul. And I would take it more celebrating with the GK who was excellent for the peno's. I know it was a L2 team but they weren't milking it either. Through to the next round. Still in with a chance providing we change manager.

Would it translate to twitter though?

jcsoulinger · 24-09-2015 12:43PM

I know its been a cat bad start to the season and fans levels of tolerance are seriously depleted. But I think he should be given a bit more time to turn it around things looked a lot better against Norwich and we were unlucky not to come away with three points, having said that though I'm still not sold on the three at the back it just doesn't sit right with me.

I hoped during the summer Rodgers would be kept on but in hindsight it may have been the right time for him to go but fsg backed him, with a lot of players coming in and the backroom staff being replaced it was always going to be a dodgy start, we need more than six games to see where we are at.

After 2 hours slogging away and the peno's, I'd say they are massively happy to get the win. No harm in celebrating that at all.

Dunno, he's a wit though, he'd make it work!

Nerdlingr · 24-09-2015 12:49PM

This is what we've come to so, celebrating a penalty victory over a League 2 side 65 places below us. Nothing to be running and jumping on fellas about imo.

The feeling I get with BR is he will turn us around, for a period of time. Whatever formation/approach he will settle on will get picked a part by a decent team and he wont change it until its too late.

I can see us going on a run and then falling apart again. I have no doubt he'd get us 5/6 every year with this approach. But he's not learning and after 3 years we have similar problems to his first season even. Players are not being utilised by his tactics, and when he gets a formation and tactics to work he cant adapt them when results go bad.

He wont get us back into the top 4 and he wont win us any trophies. But he will get us in and around par or just below. We need more, and that may be unfair but its a fact. As for who is available to take over etc is up for debate.

Id liken it to a trip to the dentist, nervous and uncomfortable but when you get out there's a sense of relief.

My problem is especially over the last 6 months or so the form is brutal. A couple of weeks ago we had something like 13 points from the last 14 league games on either side of the simmer break. Since then drew with Norwich, Bordeaux and Carlisle. It's a brutal run and I can't see where the improvement is coming from under the current regime. The danger is that a rum of games comes along against bottom feeder clubs, a rum of wins happens and it's all teeth from the BROG again.

If they won in Extra Time, they wouldn't have jumped around the place at the end, I'd bet. Its because its penalties and its pretty much the equivalent of celebrating a goal in regular time, if not surpassing that.

No real issue them celebrating with Bogdan. Feck, we have far bigger issues than that.

Nerdlingr · 24-09-2015 12:59PM

I just thought it was embarrassing. Fellas running from the centre circle to jump on the goalkeeper. Alright lads, this isnt the f*cking european cup final - relax a bit!! Ye barely beat a League 2 side.
Old school handshake, a pat on the back, well done and off down the dressing room for the flying tea cups/ hairdryer wouldve been more like it.

You should see my dentist's assistant, she's an absolute cracker. I'd jump on her before, during, or after if given a chance!

But your mouth would be all numb - uncomfortably numb if you will.

Yeah, don't have a problem with the celebrations which were appropriate in the circumstances.
