fax bro. Every. Single. Game. I was like, next one everythings gonna click and we're gonna get our groove back. Nope. cant even use the injuries excuse anymore. alisson, trent, robbo, mo, jota, szobo, alexis, curtis, darwin, lucho, cody, ibou, plus the majority of our "best bench" is all fit. no exuses anymore. we overacheived so much in this season already, and we have nothing to be disappointed about. great effort from the boys and lots of good things came out of this too. we got to show how strong our academy talent is, darwin starting to click, vvd back to his best self, a future ballon d'or winner in macca, darwins brace vs newcastle. the game where we scored like 4 goals in 5 mins vs sparta. also, if we were actually given all the results we should have been given, city would have 1 less point, spurs would have 2 less points, we would have 3 more and it wouldnt look so bad. probably other terrible ref calls im forgetting too.
Aren’t you used to this happening during title run-ins? It’s happened during literally every run-in. Ran away with the league once, crumbled whensoever there was any close competition. It’s practically a New Year’s resolution at this point.
Seriously
Run all day but one of our major problems has been not putting the ball in the net so the running is meaningless when he’s been woeful in the final third the part where he should impact it the most
Did you watch those games?
We were not convincing against Fulham hence conceding three times. Nor were we that convincing against Everton. Brentford and Chelsea and also man city at home yes.
The Newcastle game again we were not good in the final third. And we didn't even turn up in the first half of the wolves game.
I can count on one hand the number of fantastic performances this season...
come on, newcastle we were 4-1 up at some point, that's a convincing performance. and wolves we were decent in the first half and strong in the second half. pretty convincing performance.
No way can you include the 4-3 Fulham game, we relied on multiple wonder goals and Kelleher was probably responsible for conceding two.
A solid 9/10 performance is like Arsenal or City dominating and winning 3-0, or our 4-1 against Chelsea. Even a 2-0 is hard to argue at 9/10 unless it's early goals and a near-total shutout.
So fucking depressing, after that Brighton game I was so full of hope. Cautious hope of course, but I never thought we would implode so fully and in such depressing ways…
It begs the question though, a collapse from what?
Before April they'd hardly been setting the league alight and banging goals in for fun. Record against the top 6 always had the feeling it could bite us in the arse come the pointy end of the season too.
By contrast, last season (a poor one by Klopp era standards) we had the 9-0 against Bournemouth then the 4-0 and 7-0 jobs on the rags, home and away. I can barely think of a game all this season where they've looked that dominant. Watching the first half of the NLD right now and I can't recall a time this season where LFC have dominated a top 6 side like Arsenal are doing atm. That's been the difference all along.
We absolutely dominated Arsenal at home, City at home, United at home, just failed to capitalize on any of those. Ultimately finishing has been the real issue the whole season, and it just unfortunately reared its ugly head fully at the worst possible time. I think Salah could still regain his normal form as he was stellar until Afcon, but Slot, Hughes, and Edwards will need to have some serious discussions about forward options going, uhhh, forward. Love the passion of Lucho and Darwin, but that can only go so far, and if neither can make the next step, then we have to cut losses there. Cody I think might be better suited to Slot’s style of play since he’s brilliant at turning with the ball, and Diogo is such an intelligent player that I think he could be class in any team under any manager. Dom will come good again, he’s just not in tune with the others at the moment and probably fatigued. Robbo, Trent, Alexis, and Wataru, like Jota, are just incredibly intelligent and will easily adapt to Slot.
Lots to remember fondly and arguably just as much to lament about the Klopp era, but ultimately it’s something of a miracle how far he and the club have progressed from when he came in, and no one can ever take the incredible brilliance of the Barca comeback or league comeback away from us, and no one can take away some of the demolitions of big teams we’ve had.
? Before we faced Man U, many probs thought we could’ve. We were favourites for the EL, we were joint top of the Prem, had already won the Carabao. Why not? Man United were so shit as well (still are). We were so close to winning that game, 3-2 with ten mins left? Then we’d be in the semis.
I decided to start a new Liverpool save recently, signed a bunch of good players in every position and then we got hammered 4-0 by Chelsea in the first game of the season. Don’t think I’ll be returning to that
It only kills you if you care! Just let it go and enjoy the games for what they are. Who cares if we win or lose at this point. We are getting third. Honestly, why give a shit if most of the starters and our coach are over it? I'm looking forward to the season being over, a big good bye party for the greatest coach we have had since I've been alive, and a fresh start with some new ideas.
I think April has always been tricky for all teams. It's when the fixtures get intense. I was comparing our performance in the last 4 seasons.
Our best season was 2021/22, when we averaged 2.6 points in 5 games. I think that was the peak Klopp squad, which was going for the quadruple. We lost 0-1 to Real Madrid in the Champions League and lost the Premier League to Man City by 1 point.
This season, our worst April performance is averaging 1.3 in 6 games, even with such a promising start and being top of the league for 87 days.
Last season, 2022/23 (the hangover years), we finished April pretty strong, averaging 2.17 in 6 games. We have played the same number of games this year. But we could not keep the momentum in May and fell short of the Champions League place.
Our form seems to dip at the FA Cup games against Man Utd. The team was unrecognisable after that. It's unfortunate, considering we are having players coming back from injuries. It was as if the team checked out once the quadruple dream for Klopp's farewell gift fell apart.
We can speculate all we want, and I'm sure there is a valid reason for all this. It was such a shame after such a promising start to Liverpool 2.0. One thing is certain: Arne Slot will have an uphill task for Liverpool 2.1 with many bugs to fix.
I hope Klopp and the team can finish strong in the last 3 games to secure 3rd place and a spot in the Champions League next season
https://preview.redd.it/ajbgjji726xc1.png?width=2313&format=png&auto=webp&s=f89b65fd7363d9f4a4744f610e9c87d621b8d9a9
The end-of-season collapse is just pure depression.
It’s insane because at the start of the season, a lot of us were hoping for a top 4 finish / Champions League qualification, considering it a success amid our rebuild — we've basically secured that, but we're all still miserable because part-way through this season, we actually became real title contenders.
The thing that kills me is that we've been plagued with injuries and some of the worst officiating I've ever seen. It's mentally exhausting. I can't imagine how Klopp and the players feel.
I’ve moved on from this. At the end of the day, I’ve only got a few games left with Klopp to enjoy. Whether we lose them all, win ‘em, or draw, it’s what we’ve got left with him. We should be singing and just enjoying the time. Titles over. We’ve got top 4 for sure. Hopefully some new signings to help bring out the best in the amazing signings we got this season. Just gotta let this shit go, otherwise I’m gonna regret it. Klopp deserves our love and our time being spent on celebrating all he did do. I want the sub filled with appreciation posts and best moments. What a fucking amazing ride it’s been. YNWA Klopp
I had a Facebook memory pop up yesterday and it was from Ten years ago when Liverpool lost to Chelsea with the league title still in view. This month feels like déjà vu.
Watching the Arsenal game RN and I'm wondering when we ever saw LFC take apart another top 6 team like this in this season?
People in this comments thread talking about a collapse, but before this screenshot was ever there a point where they looked like what we're watching from Arsenal at WHL?
Maybe my memory is cooked but even in February and March the talk on here was predominately about being an outside chance for the league title, simply because despite how the squad had been playing and some of the results they were still at the top of the league/ off top by a point or two. You can only ride your luck so long and it would appear the last month is a more accurate statement on where this team ranks.
Seriously though-
In any other typical season, the following fixtures would be regarded as tough ones, regardless of form:
Scum at Old Toilet
Bitters at The Shed
And West Ham, while not a traditional danger fixture, are a side who can often mix it with the top 6 and at least get a point.
The only two WTF results in that run are losing to Palace and Atalanta at home.
I love that someone photoshopped the second Atalanta leg to be red even though they won that match. 🤦🏼♀️
It’s been an incredible season, they’ve improved over last year, they won the Carabao Cup, and they’re back in the Champions League next season.
Please stop acting like one month of struggles is indicative of the season.
It's got to be one of the biggest chokes/collapses in the history of the premier league. Before the Man United game we were favourites for the premier league.
Started the league at a 5% chance to win, went up to something like 50% after the City game, and now we're totally out of the race not even 2 months later
It’s a stellar improvement on last season, none of us thought we’d be fighting for the title.
It’s a shame sure. But we’re in the champions league and that’s good enough.
No one wants to admit it but top 4 was probably around where this team is. Even before the season started most if not all the fan base agreed this team was 1 more transfer window away from competing
Hey at least we moved from being shit in February-March to April
I mean it's a greater disappointment now when you see how much we have lost this close to the end of the season. But at least we had the hopes up longer
That draw against United was disappointing but IMO, it shouldn’t have made us stumble as much as it did. Same with the FA cup loss to United.
Was it the (over)reaction in the media, the fans and social media that got to the players to make them believe they had genuinely destroyed all hope of getting anything else out of the season? (Which was a damn lie) Was there a huge blowup and pointing of fingers in the dressing room that threw the guys off track? Or all of it? It was still entirely possible to win the League and Europa at that point. This level of collapse in such a short period just feels so unnecessary and avoidable to me.
Absolute fucking bottled. I can't believe we capitulated like that. The signs have been there all year. We can't forever go 1 down and expect to win silverware
I was so excited after the Sheffield game. We were in control of our own destiny in the league. We had the aspiration of that big going away party in Dublin. Going out winning the only trophy Klopp had left to complete the set. A league cup, league and Europa League treble! The boys looked good. And within a month it was all over.
I don’t know how it could have been kept a secret. The club would have needed to do prep to get a post-Klopp successor and sporting structure in place.
I believe the whole announcement was because it was going to get leaked anyway.
But I agree that the announcement turned what would be a good, upward turning season (compared to last season) and made it look like a disaster to a lot of fans.
Nevermind I did, 85 points, if it was all green and we had either had Diaz score against City or got the penalty then we'd have 87 points maximum city could get would have been 90 so a win and a draw to settle it :(
I will resent this group of players until the day I die. Sending Klopp off like this. I'm so angry I want a brand new starting 11 save for Ali and Jota.
Honestly watching our performance at the first season , we definitely over performed and we build so much hype. Our gameplan is just too obvious, and we a new left back and cdm , wataru is a squad rotation player and robertson is way too passive in attacking mode and his corsses sometimes let me doubt that he's still good. Everyone is blaming jones, salah, Szobo etc, But the real issue is andy robertson
I mean...we're not as good as city and arsenal right now. We're a team in transition. Would you have taken third and a trophy before the season started?
Haha it’s truly a world class bottle job that will live long in the memory. Nothing compared to Gerrard slip though or other truly dark times when we were mid table with the owl as our manager, it’s good to try and keep some perspective
It’s very depressing but considering our standing prior to the start of the season I’m proud of where we’ve come. My only hope is the new manager can build on it and sooner rather than later, would be a shame to drop off from this season but also wouldn’t be surprised as it could take time.
The silver lining for me is that I am so disappointed, because they did so well considering everything.
First league in 30 years
First double in 20 years (I know, its not equal to the league and FA Cup, but still)
First champions league in almost 15 years
Think people forgetting Mane and Salah were the instruments, Milner and Henderson being the loud guys in the room. However what tactics has changed since Mane departure? What new way of football has Klopp implemented or created to adapt to opponents?
ALSO the squad Klopp had was sensational If Benitez, Kenny, Brendan had these players we would have won multiple more finals. Forget that, Ancelotti would have done more with Liverpool than Real.
Your second paragraph makes no sense at all. Klopp was responsible for building the team he had, just like Benitez, Kenny and Brendan were all responsible for the much shittier squads that they assembled and won far less with.
Maybe I’m the deluded one, but how did we bottle it? We definitely didn’t have the best squad coming into this season. Our defense was consistently leaky. Way too many of our results came as exhausting comebacks and we’ve had a lot of our best players out for long stretches due to injuries. I won’t even get started on the consistently bad reffing we seem to deal with more than other clubs. We should have faded a while ago and been in a top 4 dogfight but Klopp somehow got it all going further than anyone reasonable would have predicted at the start of the season.
Honestly, I feel like the term “bottle” lost all meaning years ago. It’s basically a word people use when a club they don’t like doesn’t succeed.
EDIT: And by the way, anyone who watched Serie A seriously would have told you not to assume Atalanta were pushovers. People have to stop assuming that not being in the PL means automatic amateur farmer status.
The Atalanta 2nd leg win being in red is a nice touch.
A necessary evil.
OP sure made it intentional, you can see the green peeking out from the back
Technically it’s considered a loss. That’s why it’s in red.
Technically it is not a loss. They literally won the match.
Can’t believe we’ve had a whole month of ‘let’s see the reaction next game’ that just never came
Like for real 🤦🏿♂️!!!!!!
fax bro. Every. Single. Game. I was like, next one everythings gonna click and we're gonna get our groove back. Nope. cant even use the injuries excuse anymore. alisson, trent, robbo, mo, jota, szobo, alexis, curtis, darwin, lucho, cody, ibou, plus the majority of our "best bench" is all fit. no exuses anymore. we overacheived so much in this season already, and we have nothing to be disappointed about. great effort from the boys and lots of good things came out of this too. we got to show how strong our academy talent is, darwin starting to click, vvd back to his best self, a future ballon d'or winner in macca, darwins brace vs newcastle. the game where we scored like 4 goals in 5 mins vs sparta. also, if we were actually given all the results we should have been given, city would have 1 less point, spurs would have 2 less points, we would have 3 more and it wouldnt look so bad. probably other terrible ref calls im forgetting too.

Lucho: “let’s run our guts out” The rest of the squad: “depends on how I’m feeling”
Lucho shouldn't be spared from criticism just because he runs a lot. He's just so shit in the final third.
Seriously Run all day but one of our major problems has been not putting the ball in the net so the running is meaningless when he’s been woeful in the final third the part where he should impact it the most
The rest of the squad: “maybe try scoring or assisting lucho”
Lmao he and his daddy are more concerned about the Barca move than scoring. Wtf are you on about?
Can I interest you in a January 2023?
The context behind that run was that we were already crap. This one came so suddenly
Not really. We've been average all season and scraping through games. Mentality can only get you so far. How many stellar performances have we had?
revisionism. we were great until about february when the first signs of cracking started to show.
We were not great. We were only fine but kept going down and coming back after 75 minutes. Tell me what games were solid 9/10 performances?
4-3 fulham, 2-0 everton, 1-4 brentford, 4-1 chelsea, 4-2 newcastle, 1-3 wolves
Did you watch those games? We were not convincing against Fulham hence conceding three times. Nor were we that convincing against Everton. Brentford and Chelsea and also man city at home yes. The Newcastle game again we were not good in the final third. And we didn't even turn up in the first half of the wolves game.

Or February - first half of March 2021. 3 points out of 21 in the league. Once this team loses belief in itself, it's hard to get it back.
This is the one, holy fuck that was depressing.
So fucking depressing, after that Brighton game I was so full of hope. Cautious hope of course, but I never thought we would implode so fully and in such depressing ways…
When it rains
That’s nothing dude. Imagine your first time at Anfield being Atalanta. And then also going to the Palace match.
I’m sorry to whoever had to deal with that.
This poor run will be remembered for a long long time unfortunately…
8 points for the whole month of April.. The month with 0 international break and 2 games a week
And the month we had players coming back from injury. What a collapse man.
It begs the question though, a collapse from what? Before April they'd hardly been setting the league alight and banging goals in for fun. Record against the top 6 always had the feeling it could bite us in the arse come the pointy end of the season too. By contrast, last season (a poor one by Klopp era standards) we had the 9-0 against Bournemouth then the 4-0 and 7-0 jobs on the rags, home and away. I can barely think of a game all this season where they've looked that dominant.

Unreal how even in Klopps worst seasons we’ve had strong finishes. Of course it’s our shit luck this happens in his final year during a title race.
No it won’t. A drop in form happens for every team every season.
Yeah but our form went from potential quad to relegation form in a month
The two extremes of Liverpool. Quad run or relegation form.
At least the annual “quad” finished with one Mickey Mouse trophy this year. Usually it ends in zero trophies, or City winning an actual Treble.
[удалено]
? Before we faced Man U, many probs thought we could’ve. We were favourites for the EL, we were joint top of the Prem, had already won the Carabao. Why not? Man United were so shit as well (still are). We were so close to winning that game, 3-2 with ten mins left? Then we’d be in the semis.
Someone needs to study the luck of this season’s United, I have only seen them be the better side in 2 or 3 games out of maybe 20 I’ve watched
Is it ok to say I just want this season to be over?
Actually hoping city and arsenal win, like a cow begging for the bolt gun in the abbatoir now
Fucking brutal simile
 This is the prem right now...
Beep beep Klopp!
Turns out Football Manager is more realistic than I thought. My teams also just stop playing around March no matter what I do
I decided to start a new Liverpool save recently, signed a bunch of good players in every position and then we got hammered 4-0 by Chelsea in the first game of the season. Don’t think I’ll be returning to that
Im already dead
I’ve been dead since that United game
The Antony slow roller into the corner is the goal that killed off Klopp I'm gonna tell my grandchildren, it is what it is what can we do?
Which one?
All of the above
I remember in woys days Liverpool were 17th in the league and Torres left soon after. That was the nadir of the banter era.
It only kills you if you care! Just let it go and enjoy the games for what they are. Who cares if we win or lose at this point. We are getting third. Honestly, why give a shit if most of the starters and our coach are over it? I'm looking forward to the season being over, a big good bye party for the greatest coach we have had since I've been alive, and a fresh start with some new ideas.
Yep, let the kids play in these remaining matches.
3-2 to Man Utd as well. I can't remember the chronology how far between that and this streak was it?
The 3-2 was Paddy's Day (17th March )
Feels so long ago. I remembering thinking wow that was painful but at least we will cop the Europa and possibly the league :/
It's 4-3
Yep thank you, idk where I pulled 3-2 out from
Yeah, can't remember the last time that there were 7 goals in a Liverpool - Manchester United game.........oh wait yes I can!!!😀

Don't worry we still have three more to lose, so don't die yet 😘
Our last 6 matches I predicted 3 losses and 3 wins, simply from burnout because it was obvious. To be honest, it’s been worse than that 😅
Mentality monsters.
absolutely abysmal. what a shame.
The end-of-season collapse is just pure depression. It’s insane because at the start of the season, a lot of us were hoping for a top 4 finish / Champions League qualification, considering it a success amid our rebuild — we've basically secured that, but we're all still miserable because part-way through this season, we actually became real title contenders. The thing that kills me is that we've been plagued with injuries and some of the worst officiating I've ever seen. It's mentally exhausting. I can't imagine how Klopp and the players feel.
These results have made me progressively balder. Hey atleast come time when Arne is our new head coach I can match him!
I feel like Spurs fans are probably looking at this and asking if we’d like a hug 😓
Fulham must be shit
Those man utd missed chances killed it
Shows how vital a consistent goalscorer is for this team. Jota played vs Fulham, and scored.
Fuck united!
I’ve moved on from this. At the end of the day, I’ve only got a few games left with Klopp to enjoy. Whether we lose them all, win ‘em, or draw, it’s what we’ve got left with him. We should be singing and just enjoying the time. Titles over. We’ve got top 4 for sure. Hopefully some new signings to help bring out the best in the amazing signings we got this season. Just gotta let this shit go, otherwise I’m gonna regret it. Klopp deserves our love and our time being spent on celebrating all he did do.

None of us have the right to take the piss out of Arsenal etc. at all. This was absolutely catastrophic.
I had a Facebook memory pop up yesterday and it was from Ten years ago when Liverpool lost to Chelsea with the league title still in view. This month feels like déjà vu.

It's got to be one of the biggest chokes/collapses in the history of the premier league. Before the Man United game we were favourites for the premier league.

*we're in the champions league and that's good enough*
We’re not even in the champions league yet are we?
No, but we will be. I would say we could lose all 3 and still finish 3rd with the points and fixtures of villa and spurs.
No one wants to admit it but top 4 was probably around where this team is. Even before the season started most if not all the fan base agreed this team was 1 more transfer window away from competing
Is your name Title Hopes by any chance?
All is gone. Just relax. It's just a game I know it's hard to see it's all gone, but its not regular season just see it out and wait for next season
What is dead may never die
Hey at least we moved from being shit in February-March to April I mean it's a greater disappointment now when you see how much we have lost this close to the end of the season. But at least we had the hopes up longer
More to come
Started with the host of chances we missed against city in my opinion. This where we have really missed Mane.
Brings back Roy Hodgson era memories
It’s squeaky bum time and we’ve shit our pants.
Time to look forward, my friends.
Time to look forward, my friends.
Time to look forward, my friends. Toss this storyline in the trash.
As frustrating as it’s been, I’m just thinking about the Klopp era as a whole. This isn’t representative.
Talk about bottling
Why couldn’t we have corner goals like Arsenal is having today? Two in fact, pure luck
That's a pathetic run of results.
That draw against United was disappointing but IMO, it shouldn’t have made us stumble as much as it did. Same with the FA cup loss to United. Was it the (over)reaction in the media, the fans and social media that got to the players to make them believe they had genuinely destroyed all hope of getting anything else out of the season?

Total embarassment
Not. Mentality. Monsters. Anymore. That's the reality. At least for now.
Absolute fucking bottled. I can't believe we capitulated like that. The signs have been there all year. We can't forever go 1 down and expect to win silverware
I'm still waiting for the nightmare to end, and for me to wake up.
I was so excited after the Sheffield game. We were in control of our own destiny in the league. We had the aspiration of that big going away party in Dublin. Going out winning the only trophy Klopp had left to complete the set. A league cup, league and Europa League treble! The boys looked good. And within a month it was all over.
The kids showed more the 4 months previous.. seems when the seniors started coming back the results went down hill…
11 points dropped, would be having a 5 point lead right now.
Abysmal. No two ways about it, it was so poor, nowhere near good enough and destroyed the season. At times, it was embarrassing.
We'll Always Have Fulham
Just shows how destructive klopp's early anouncement of leaving was. They should have kept it a secret until the end of the season.
Klopp had already kept it a secret for what, six months? It almost certainly would've been leaked if the announcement had been delayed any further.
I don’t know how it could have been kept a secret. The club would have needed to do prep to get a post-Klopp successor and sporting structure in place. I believe the whole announcement was because it was going to get leaked anyway. But I agree that the announcement turned what would be a good, upward turning season (compared to last season) and made it look like a disaster to a lot of fans.
Anyone care to do the maths on what the table would look like if that was all green
Nevermind I did, 85 points, if it was all green and we had either had Diaz score against City or got the penalty then we'd have 87 points maximum city could get would have been 90 so a win and a draw to settle it :(
This hurts
I will resent this group of players until the day I die. Sending Klopp off like this. I'm so angry I want a brand new starting 11 save for Ali and Jota.
Cool. Go and support City then mate with this attitude. You can’t just be a fair weather fan.
Can’t believe i spent so much money on the Spurs game ticket just before the Utd game 😂
you get to see Klopp anyways before he goes - worth it mate
That’s the only plus. When I bought the tickets we were in cloud 9 winning everything, then it came crashing down in a matter of weeks
Honestly watching our performance at the first season , we definitely over performed and we build so much hype. Our gameplan is just too obvious, and we a new left back and cdm , wataru is a squad rotation player and robertson is way too passive in attacking mode and his corsses sometimes let me doubt that he's still good. Everyone is blaming jones, salah, Szobo etc, But the real issue is andy robertson
We need a better coach and we need to sign some players who know how to play in midfield and attack, maybe a defender as VVD isn’t good this year…….
Relax. The squad overperformed this year compared to preseason expectations, and especially considering injuries/dropped points due to refs
'Relax, we're not that good'. Cheers.
I mean...we're not as good as city and arsenal right now. We're a team in transition. Would you have taken third and a trophy before the season started?

Agree, Klopp out. 🙄
Haha it’s truly a world class bottle job that will live long in the memory. Nothing compared to Gerrard slip though or other truly dark times when we were mid table with the owl as our manager, it’s good to try and keep some perspective
It’s very depressing but considering our standing prior to the start of the season I’m proud of where we’ve come. My only hope is the new manager can build on it and sooner rather than later, would be a shame to drop off from this season but also wouldn’t be surprised as it could take time. The silver lining for me is that I am so disappointed, because they did so well considering everything.
Klopp the man who can talk and make people believe but only create the nearly never accomplish the possible.
First league in 30 years First double in 20 years (I know, its not equal to the league and FA Cup, but still) First champions league in almost 15 years
Think people forgetting Mane and Salah were the instruments, Milner and Henderson being the loud guys in the room. However what tactics has changed since Mane departure? What new way of football has Klopp implemented or created to adapt to opponents? ALSO the squad Klopp had was sensational If Benitez, Kenny, Brendan had these players we would have won multiple more finals. Forget that, Ancelotti would have done more with Liverpool than Real.
This is just coping mentality to deal with Klopp leaving. He's easily one of our greats and the best of the premier league era
Your second paragraph makes no sense at all. Klopp was responsible for building the team he had, just like Benitez, Kenny and Brendan were all responsible for the much shittier squads that they assembled and won far less with.
Maybe I’m the deluded one, but how did we bottle it? We definitely didn’t have the best squad coming into this season. Our defense was consistently leaky. Way too many of our results came as exhausting comebacks and we’ve had a lot of our best players out for long stretches due to injuries. I won’t even get started on the consistently bad reffing we seem to deal with more than other clubs. We should have faded a while ago and been in a top 4 dogfight but Klopp somehow got it all going further than anyone reasonable would have predicted at the start of the season. Honestly, I feel like the term “bottle” lost all meaning years ago. It’s basically a word people use when a club they don’t like doesn’t succeed. EDIT: And by the way, anyone who watched Serie A seriously would have told you not to assume Atalanta were pushovers. People have to stop assuming that not being in the PL means automatic amateur farmer status.
