Where is the meltdown? I'm not sure what you're referring to.

We are selling, for sure
It's because every time we've had a dip in form our season has gone to shit.
We're in January and we have a chance to improve from a position of strength. Instead it feels like we'd rather wait for the wheels to fall off first.
Internet meet Whaddapie, whaddapie meet internet 😆
In fairness, I probably chose the wrong thread for that particular comment... But if you haven't seen all the usual suspects turning into Chicken Little since Sunday, despite having found the game before that borderline sexual, you're just not paying attention.
Oh, and are you really pretending that something that happened 32 years ago has ANY bearing on this season..? Come, mate - You're better than that.
We are having that “blip” that every team has during the season and still our competitors can’t make up any ground.
Do you really, truly expect us to win every game? To be poetry in motion every week?
Of course we'd not 'rather wait for the wheels to fall off', than win... That's a ridiculous thing to pretend you believe. Look at things with a certain perspective, can't you..? Our dropped points this season are hardly panic inducing - Forest are 2nd. Arsenal are 3rd, Or vise versa. Newcastle are in top form. Fulham was a once-off with insane circumstances. And since when has playing the scum ever been seen as a gimme..?
You'd not swap places with any other team in Europe right now, so why do so many pretend things are just a hit post away from all of Anfield suddenly collapsing into a pile of rubble?
Home against Forest
Home against Fulham
Home against Man U
These are games we should have won.
Also, Spurs are decimated by injuries and dropped points against both Wolves and Newcastle at home before we played them.
No, I don't expect us to win every game, but unfortunately since City started dominating the league it's pretty much required to get at least 90 points to win the league.
In the first half of the season we had ample opportunities to extend the gap to the rest of the teams. Have you seen our schedule in the second half of the season?
In case you haven't here's a reminder:
Forest away
City away
Villa away
Spurs away
Chelsea away
And the trouble makers:
Brighton away
Everton away
Fulham away
Brentford away
I'm not sure that 6 points and a game in hand is going to cut it.
So, basically, everybody we've already played, then..? And already gotten 46 points from? Just like all of our competition, we have to play everybody else once more. And that City isn't here this season, so 99 points probably won't be needed this time around.
I'm not saying I haven't been a little worried by the last two matches... Of course I have. But people have written things like "You'll never win the league with ______ playing for us", since Sunday's result. Well, we're potentially 9 points clear of our closest rival with _______ playing for us, so maybe, just maybe, such hyperbole is ridiculous?
You know as well as I do home advantage is important, especially to weaker sides. The fact we've got a lot of difficult games away from home is mildly concerning
We really need to get our shit together quickly
It is basically those we've already played against, but I don't have to tell you that there's a difference between playing them at home and playing them away, especially with critical CL games in-between.
I don't think that anything I've said is hyperbolic and I can't defend what others have said.
Just to make it clear I'm absolutely delighted about the situation we're in atm, challenging in all four competitions.
I just think that its risky to wait until the summer in order to strengthen the squad in certain positions. We've already been forced to play a winger upfront because our other two options have either been injured or wank.
We also have a manager that apparently doesn't trust half the players we have on the bench. If Endo isn't a suitable midfielder, then get the midfielder that is.
And if the striker isn't scoring find another one.
Agreed. But that's not my point... There's a world of difference between what you've said and how you've said it, and several of the Nostradamus-esque predictions of imminent collapse, because we only drew with united in a feckin' hurricane. This team and this manager has earned a little trust (from me, at least) before I start labelling everything broken within our club.
Fair enough in principle, but not all the players available - especially in the January window - will be the right ones in terms of quality, price or both. The squad won't be strengthened if we take the "Just fetch somebody in" scattergun approach we used to adopt in the dark days before Klopp. The situation we're in doesn't come anywhere close to justifying the kind of panic which my pal Whaddapie rightly identifies in too many posts on here.
Some people need to being fannies and grow a pair.
Again with this?
I thought Data rated him but weren’t sure how he fitted? We should have just replaced Klopp with Data instead of Slot. It sounds great.
I get all that but it looks like anyone close to us will also drop points.
Man C rubbing their hands. 12 points? Challenge accepted.
Man City are fucking shite. They’re not going to all of a sudden turn into a side that bangs out 19 wins.
No fucking jinxes.
I’ll buy you a Casio if that happens.
This is probably the wrong thread for this post as this cunt is useless and we would have possibly won the league last season if he was semi decent at finishing, and we might be even further ahead this season if he was a reliable forward.
Also - I would say there is a definite trend of performances dropping off. Clear weak links in our game that opponents are noticing. We are at a crux point that will make or break our chance of a second league title in 30 years - so its no wonder people are stressed that this *could* slip... AGAIN.
For alot of us we have been the nearlymen for 30 years. Do we want to be that again? Please to fucking god no.
Yes, it is the wrong thread. And yes, this cunt IS useless. Both points are fair.
It's kinda lucky that if there is a drop off its happening during cup games etc and Slot has a chance to reconfigure things before Tuesday. Let's face it, we've been carried by Salah and if he has an average game then so do we. I don't think it's a systemic thing, just a player or three off their usual best. That can sort itself out quite quickly.
Yes - good to get losses and 'learnings' out of the way in the cups. But they're only useful if we actually learn from them. And yes I agree - we need one of the other attackers to find goals in Salah's off days.
I'll rip off your arm and beat you to death with it.
I’m guaranteed to be living come the end of the season
Let's hope so.
