Liverpool meltdown

[Pavilionaire]

8 points from their final 9 matches, they finish below Spurs in 6th.

Gerrard gone, Sterling and Glen Johnson going, Suarez a distant memory.

Will we see Liverpool back in the Top 4 again in the next 20 years? I can only see Spurs and the Top 4 getting stronger.

But more than that, a poor Cup semi vs. Villa and capitulation against Palace and now Stoke in Gerrard's final month indicates a lack of fight and bottle. Where to now?

Jurgen Klopp?

I think it's extremely funny

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Play with a striker? Boring tactics they play now, I feel no sympathy.

Last season they were the best team; this season they've been pitiful.

 

[Justice]

Like we had such a great season.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Rodgers really is not a good manager.

Got lucky with Suarez last year, and he had no idea how to replace him.

Bottled the title last year

The last time they did well they sold their best player and struggled, same has happened with Suarez.

Surely you mean second best

Agreed.
If you think our recruitment was poor last year theirs was awful.

To go into a game with one striker on the bench and a midfielder playing upfront shows what a weak squad they have.

Major surgery required and whover was involved in recruiting their players last summer should be fired.

Can't defend and can't score! They are a mid table side at best.

I was thinking as I saw this result come in that at least it wasn't just us who got battered by Stoke in meaningless final games.

There was that 5-1 defeat at Withdean in the last game of one season (Loft scored I think...Adam Rooney hat-trick possibly?), and also a 4-1 spanking by an already relegated Stoke side at the Goldstone one year. I seem to recall they brought loads of fans down, all on the piss and in beachwear.

I had to explain to a couple of french blokes that Liverpool hadn't won the title for over 20 years

and that man City is an actual team,not Man Utd res

and that Arsenal haven't won the league for the last 5 seasons either just because they have a French manager

funny hearing a different perspective of the PL from abroad

The black guy appludes, the rest snarl and make obscene gestures. No wonder Sterling wants away from that place

 

[Pavilionaire]

This is my point. Liverpool fans are shitting themselves. Losing Suarez and now Sterling takes you out of Champions League contention, and if he joins a Manchester club it's a double whammy. Losing Gerrard at this time hasn't helped Sterling's cause. They need to recruit better with the transfer fee they'll receive but, like Spurs, it's not easy to attract top players when you have no prospect of Champions League football.

I think I'd be disappointed if an Albion player did the same as Stirling and his agent. How would you feel if one of our player's representatives said he didn't give a shit about Brighton?

Liverpool didn't seem to mind when Sterling did the same to QPR to force his move to Liverpool

Plenty probably do, but Brighton isn't the greatest club in the world, with the world's greatest fans.
So we don't get to hear about it.

Anyway what's the difference between Sterling and Bridcutt?

As all Brighton fans know, a season is a long time in football.

I'll take your word for that, I don't know either of them intimately.
