Other Games 2025-26

I definitely don't ignore that, they have clearly been destabilised by some of the new signings. Slot basically won with Klopp's team and now he's fucking up his own, but the Jota death will also be a factor. We all know elite sport is about percentage points and it will most likely have knocked a couple off for some individuals. How much of an effect is debatable, but it will be there. Robertson showed that with his interview.

Slot is clearly however now doing a shit job.

I meant in the press really. Jota dying will clearly have hurt the squad but given they won 7 games in a row to start the season (ignoring the glorified friendly the week before) I think it is being used as a bit of an excuse right now.

I haven't seen them using it as an excuse. But regardless, i'm not sure we should be judging how much a friend and team mate dying is having an impact. As I said look at Robertson and that was while with Scotland.

Especially as we spent weeks using JJ going a few hundred miles up the road as a reason for being crap.

Jota is obviously a factor, particularly for Robertson etc who were close to him….

But….that is no excuse for 5 new signings contributing the little bit Ekitike did in August/September & literally nothing else or the two players they spent months and months to give huge final contracts looking like they’ve switched off

Sack him off and give it Slippy G

Hopefully they lose the next few, sack him off and the new boss wants Elliott back

[cdbearsfan]

Just don't ask him about Maccabi Tel Aviv, FFS.

[cdbearsfan]

Oh, Harvey Elliott.

"We" the fans? Or "we" the club?

[PeterWithesShin]

Mainly on here but some of the players made it pretty clear JJ going wasn't something they were fans of.

However i'm mainly talking about us on here. We can't go from saying JJ leaving was a reason and then say Jota dying isn't. Quite simply we don't know. Dismissing it just seems bad form.

[Small Rodent]

Since they befriended Infantino's mate Trump.

Since two alleged rapists got together.

[Dante Lavelli]

Not sure why we are routing for English clubs.

Completely off topic, but I always thought it was “rooting” rather than a gerund of route.

[Dante Lavelli]

Liverpool would be the only club I worry about with Unai, any of the others I don't think he'd want it, but them there's a slight doubt.

I had that exact thought the other day.
