Heaven forbid we win a piece of silverware in a game we didn't dominate.

We'd hand back the trophy in disgust, right?

It's just people moving the goalposts all the time because they've already nailed their colours to the mast and been so vocal about it in here so they'll set the manager all these silly little irrelevant challenges, if he hits them guarantee they go quiet but if he doesn't they get that little dopemine hit of justification because it appeased their fragile ego.

Bet if we don't win the friendly next week by 3 goals, have at least 60% possession, don't concede from a set piece and have an xg of over 2.5 there's gonna be the same clowns moaning in here.

Can't believe I'm saying that I can't wait for the Summer window, at least with all the Levy and ENIC stuff there's prior justification for people to legit be pissed off with them 😆

Everyone does the Aussie accent for Ange...
But imagine they all did a 'ting-tong' accent for Sonny...?
They'd be (rightly) lambasted!

It's like taking the piss out of Gingers... SOME discrimination is just 'allowed'.

I'm neither here nor there tbh... Either all in, or all out
... It's the contradiction I'm not great with!

Agree and all I’ll say to that is thank god nobody on this forum decides who our manager is and when to sack em.

We’d be on a new manager every month! 🙈

Klopp finished 4th with 76 points in his first full season, (10 points behind us in the league btw, imagine that), 10 points ahead of the best this manager can do.

Klopp had been in charge of Liverpool since October the year before his first full season, Rodgers only managed the first 8 league games of Liverpool's season before Klopp came in, and meaning he had a full transfer window in that January to start reshaping his team. Would only be fair to compare Klopp's first "full" season with Ange's 2nd season in that respect.

I’ve stayed out of the Ange debate to this point but fwiw ( not a lot ) here are my views
I enjoy watching our football more than under Mourinho and Conte.
Ange has an arrogance about him which I am uncomfortable with- if you want to behave like Pep best you have a Pep like CV. Better still be gracious and engaging at all times.
When Liverpool rumours circulated after the Klopp news Ange did little to express his loyalty to Spurs or to distance himself from the Anfield role. I didn’t like that.
Our defensive record this season is hugely unimpressive, especially with Romero and VdV in the team - both of whom are individually excellent.This defensive frailty is 100% down to coaching/ tactics and is therefore entirely on Ange.
I didn’t overly care for his comments after the City game.

At this point I am not in the Ange out camp and still hope that he can deliver us a team that is both defensively solid and exciting to watch. Time will tell.
I’m going to Sheffield tomorrow, hopefully we get (at least ) the point we need.COYS.

I know this is repetitive but we could have had the point we needed against City if the crowd encouraged the team more. If Villa lose tomorrow, we win , well we might have won against City with crowd support and we’d be in the Champions LeagJe. Is Chelsea win tomorrow and we lose we are in the bloody Conference League. Funny old game.

"The wage bills for each club come via FBref, with estimates coming from Capology."

Capology = guesswork. Shit source

Ridiculous isn't it? For the last few days, all we've had is whining about him not understanding the rivalry. Now he holds his hands up to that and the whining continues.

It's like standing in a room full of mosquitos.

Not sure why he didn’t understand it in the first place! Before the NLD he completely down played abd we played like that, not good enough. If he was worried about his integrity before citeh game he should also have before the NLD where we just let them score.

Obviously we need to give him more time.
But if after 8-10 games next season, the defence is all over the shop, and tactically looking a mess, then questions quite rightly need to be asked.
Some of the results have been as bad as I can remember, thrashing by Fulham, could not beat West ham home or away. Got thrashed by a depleted Newcastle and lost to a weakened Chelsea team with ease.
Not sure who or what they bring in, I suspect there will be no wow signings, as long as he gets judged on his buys, no more bringing in club buys that no manager wants.

Wait Until the might CG is playing next season. A player whose been upstaged by mainoo at manure whose a kid.

The crowd were 100% wanting to beat City at home in the cup, Chelsea in the league, Woolwich in the league, and West Ham in the league and none of them were draws. We even had more time to prepare for our biggest derbies.

The fans are not the reason Spurs are 5th and losing against sides in the top 9.
 
I notice still no answer to the question of how many games we have controlled from start to finish and won convincingly?

I know it's a small sample size what with 3 cup games etc but shouldn't be too hard to answer given we apparently have the best man in charge...
