I hope Liverpool implode after Klopp has gone.Mans an entitled dick head. I find it shocking that how ill informed pundits are about the history of the game they play and what other clubs are doing. What did he write that was ill-informed, and is there anything in his article that marks him as an entitled dickhead?Indeed. It's not completely impossible that he's correct and that the calendar years 2023 / 2024 are the high-point of the Emery era. Hopefully they're not, but it's not exactly heresy for someone to think that they might be.

I see that one-eyed shite Carragher is predicting we've already peaked under Emery & the only way from here is down. The best Managers & players will always move to teams more deserving of them. So the natural order of the top 5 will be restored. I hope Liverpool implode after Klopp has gone.
It is now about how squads cope with injuries, we have proved our best X1 + is a match for most teams but once we lose a couple of Key players it weakens us significantly. We go from top to mid table -
I don't think it makes you a one eyed shite to think that Villa probably won't achieve something that literally no team has ever done in the current era of football.

Spurs went from being a mid-table side, to regularly finishing in the top eight, top finishing in the top four, to regularly finishing in the top four and then a (very) short period of not winning the title being seen as failure.

He makes the entirely reasonable and accurate point that teams that have a good season or unexpected champions league finish rarely or never keep doing it consistently, because the top teams are so dominant and you need several of them to keep on having off years.I don't think it makes you a one eyed shite to think that Villa probably won't achieve something that literally no team has ever done in the current era of football.

We go from top to mid table -What's mid-table? We're 8 points above 6th. 11 above 8th and 14 above 10th.I know we're not exactly in the form of our lives, but we've lost three in the league since Thumping Brighton 6-1 on 30th September. That's despite all the injuries we've had and the fact that we've 'been found out'.The priority is clearly the league, and whenever we've lost, we've bounced back.Last 12 W7 D3 L2 Last 6 W2 D2 L2It's not all doom and gloom, though we could do with a few wins over the next few games just to settle nerves, but don't give up on us yet.
Beat Man U, then we can go into easier fixtures against Fulham, Forest and Luton full of confidence. With Spurs after that at home, a win you'd think would almost guarantee us top 4 or 5.Lose, or even worse, take a battering, and I think we'll go into free fall. We've seen it all too often, and we still have several players left who have "been there, bought the T-shirt".

That kind of success would have got you a job at Villa in 2012-2016.
