Let’s not disrespect the dead by making it about internet points like the other fellas do.

I’ve always found this very sad & way below the belt on the part of whatever poster.

Wouldn’t mind a bit of harmless jibing alright.

Was there a better Premier League winning side than last season Liverpool team under Klopp?

James Milner (JamesMilner)

The only comparison is the City team of the previous two seasons

Canceling. Ordinary.

[myboyblue]

Leicester was pretty amazing too tbf.

[caulifloweredneanderthal]

That was more for the romance of it all.

Like last season with City missing their centre halves - Virgil is a piece that can’t be replaced.

City 18/19 won the EPL in a season where the league was strong as it had all four European finalists. They are best by a pube hair from Liverpool 18/19

[myboyblue]

The Arsenal invincibles of course.

Heysel wouldn’t have happened had it not been for corruption from AS Roma, bribing a referee to get past Dundee United (!) in order to secure a home European Cup final where they lost to Liverpool on the field while cowards on scooters stabbed the travelling Englishmen.

Liverpool played Juventus at Heysel.

[caulifloweredneanderthal]

Great lads to get a draw

[caulifloweredneanderthal]

Can’t disagree with that.

Immigrants, they get the job done.

[the_man_himself]

Bizarre to try to justify Heysel by something that happened against a completely different team the year before

That’s exactly it … Liverpool also pushed city to be almost perfect the season before - the physical and mental fatigue of that was also a factor for city I felt and you can see that now with Liverpool.

Hunger is an incredible driving force - Liverpool havent had it this year and a combination of mileage and injuries have stunted them. That’s sport.

[EstebanSexface]

You raise a very valid point about hunger

I noticed a couple of very blatant shirks of challenges by Liverpool players. 50/50 balls that were there to be won. Salah had a couple and Wijnaldum had a terrible one in the second half. Completely shit himself.

Pundits laying the blame on Thiago is interesting - Klopp is playing him in the pivot - the Fabinho role - he doesn’t have the legs to cover the full backs and Henderson wasn’t there to plug holes either last night.

It’s very noticeable how bad Trent is when Virgil isn’t there

[FlakeAway]

Jota is definitely a loss, he’ll have no bother trying to find his way back in to this team at the minute.

[Thomas_Brady]

Any league win is a great win.

Liverpool ended 30 years of waiting last year - There were similar scenes when utd won it back in 92. The traditional teams will always draw a bit more fanfare when they win it… Leicester’s achievement was incredible and a better achievement in many ways than Liverpool / City winning it in recent times.

[myboyblue]

Leicester was magical.

Christ I’d love to see them do it again.

[Thomas_Brady]

But there was no expectation on Leicester to win it either when they did … Expectation is something that has weighed heavy on many a team over the years.
