This thread makes me want to vomit.
Yes they are a great side, yes they will win the title at a canter. But make no mistake they get every little help possible from VAR and the powers that be to go with that.
Our last three games against them including the champions league final we've matched them across the three games and all three games the big decisions VAR have gone their way.
Some of the noshing off going on is sickening.
We are shit at the minute and we were a missed sitter away from taking a point off them last night.
Every star is aligning for them this season and everything that could possibly go wrong for us is going wrong.

But their team was good enough to win the champions league and finish with 99 points in the league. It’s not like they were in the verge of greatness this summer. They are already thereLiverpool didnt buy anyone this year.... Can we look forward to the gap closing next year?
I'll look forward to that immensely.
Alisson is the best keeper in the league...
If we were having Liverpool’s season I can just imagine the response on here if other teams were attributing our success to VAR and dodgy referees
I hate the scousers as much as anyone else but this lucky crap is ridiculous
You do not go a calendar year unbeaten by luck
Just as you don’t lose 21 out of 60 games because of a lack of such luck
They have backed their manager and been clever m
We have been the complete opposite and that’s all there is to it

Don't care how good they are, still can't stand the team, the manager or their supporters.
I wish we would sign the quality ready to go players that Liverpool sign , ours have been piss poor generally in comparison .
Our wages screw us.
They deserve their success.

we outplayed them at Anfield last season, Sissoko has the chance to win it and butchered it, then Hugo and Toby hand them an injury time winner.
We gifted them a first minute penalty in European Cup Final. They were shit on the night, but we were so overawed by the occasion and fielding injured players, we couldn’t lay a glove on them.
We led them at Anfield back in October, they might have been on top but Son hit the woodwork (with an admittedly difficult chance) which would have put us 0-2 up early in 2nd half.
Should have won it yesterday with second half chances.
I’m sick of those fuckers. We’ve beaten them 1 in last 17, which is pathetic. Even when we were better than them for 4-5 seasons prior to last season, we still never beat them.
The condescending words of that gimp Klopp have really pissed me off.
Oh yeah and when we pulled it back to 1-2 at Wembley against them last season, we had a. Injury time penalty that should have awarded for a foul on Son, not given.

Come on Sammy you know that just ain't true, he made some daft mistakes at times yes but he was 100x better then what they had before. And overall was probably the best keeper in the league not that there's a lot of competition
On the subject of where they over took us it comes down to bad scouting and transfer strategy.
They identified they had a workman like midfield that needed some more steel so got Fabinho (he took time to settle yes but his presence made others play better cause they knew he wanted a spot). And they had a fantastic front 3 but just needed some depth and got Shaqiri (who won them a fair few points when called upon)
They had a shit defense so bought Van Dijk and a keeper they could trust to compose the defense. Then got lucky that Joe Gomez and TRA came through at the same time.
I hate fucking Liverpool fans but there scouting system and transfer strategy has been fantastic, whilst in the same time we seem unable to take risks and commit to getting young talent in. And let the squad go stale, and have flogged Kane to death let Eriksen walk all over us.
Levy and ENIC have some of the blame for that but I refuse to believe that Poch didn't have some hand in this also. To many rumours of him not wanting players offered to us and he refused to change the squad up no matter who was performing.
This forum becomes more of an apology shop by the day.
Liverpool, get within an inch of winning the title after losing just 1 game and actually win the fucking Champions League. They sign nobody this Summer and have the Leagie title pretty muched wrapped up by Xmas.
Somehow this makes us, who had actually won nothing, ducking out of 2 successive transfer windows and starting the rotten corpse of a squad we're seeing today, all Ok.
It was a masterstroke by Levy all along!
Yeah, massive difference between not spending once you got a complete team who just won the CL & got a massive amount of pts in the league. Also they still spend out 100m more on wages last year as per usual which is as important as spending on new players.
Where as we did need new players & weren't complete despite what some kept saying about who do you drop etc. They obviously been proving wrong by our decline in quality on the pitch.
They needed a new keeper & CB & broke world records (I think) on them. A comparison would have been if they didn't spend when they needed those 2 new players. They wouldn't be as good now if they hadn't of got the keeper & VVD in.
Where as are owners wouldn't have been as supportive in backing the manager.
If Liverpool paid a 100m less per year in wages, think of how many top players they lose or never get.
Also very smart of klopp that he signed someone straight away in January. Keeping things fresh. He didnt do the full season without a signing.
You are smart mate. You have to recognise we were on pair around 2018 and then they made great signings and we went to shit because we didn’t move
I don't think they needed to, did they?Liverpool didnt buy anyone this year.... Can we look forward to the gap closing next year?
I'll look forward to that immensely.
When we needed to, we didnt.
The thing is, they deserved to be in the CL final last season, we were miles behind the genuine elite teams in Europe and still are, goes without saying.
On a normal day teams like Barcelona, PSG and Bayern would absolutely murder us and it remains to be seems whether we can beat RB Leipzig.. If anyone still thinks that will be easy

I couldn’t agree more. Us and Liverpool are worlds apart, we are talking about getting decisions from VAR aren’t we?
They sold Coutinho and bought Van Dijk. A bold, risky, not certain to succeed move.
And they they paid over the odds for a new goalkeeper after the UCL disaster. A bold, decisive move that certainly could have been mistaken for panicky.
They've gotten big, difficult decisions right. Good things will follow from that.
Our decisions haven't been as good.
Let’s just not mention alisson. That shit keeper they signed ...
