    BCD changed it for absolutely everyone - no point us saying different:

    Just how fragile are we?

    Can’t compete without Fans


    Can’t compete if we have a few injuries.

    Can’t compete without the best referee decisions?

    Can’t compete with Covid suspensions.

    Can’t compete with City - and that is tough BUT Klopp plus backing and we can and have!

    We NEED to compete, can’t keep inventing excuses.
    It depends how good your fans are and ex players all said it too but of course its all BS.

    Few injuries we had no CBs pretty much all season.

    You have nit picked last 10 games I see we DONT lose 6 on trot even last year with fans in the ground.

    You could argue some players are weak as they cant play in front of one....hello Man Utd!

    I havent mentioned refs I accept most are crap we know this as none go to world cups !

    You want to compete every year your best bet is to hope China come in for us as Klopp or no Klopp we arent winning the title again for a very long time.

    This is a very overt accusation directed towards the owners. Last year he stated he had no control over transfers. He is now openly saying he doesn’t have enough quality in depth. There is no other interpretation that stands up to any genuine scrutiny,
    Maybe he's trying to keep his cards close to his chest for a tactical advantage.

    Last January he wanted a signing, got kabak and later realised Nat Philips was a beast whose rarely put a foot wrong.

    We go to Chelsea on Sunday, he'll be able to field a team, adapt his tactics and give it our best shot.

    He's been tactically rigid and naive in recent games and needs to get back on top of his own game.
    For me that's adapting, dropping/subbing players on merit and shutting down the excessive arrogance on our right hand side.

    Salah and trent are the two best players in the league, Hendo has been great too but he's been letting them away with it now for a few weeks.
    Needs to put the excuses away.

    I didnt expect us to win the title but all this just leads to another false season.

    This crap has to stop next season as i'll consider walking away its pointless, injuries are part & parcel of the game.

    Covid is a complete lottery some teams dont play some do how is that fair to all teams ???
    Games should be played and if you don't want to play you forfeit the points.

    It says too much in truth. It isn’t Klopp just speaking to us or the media - that is a clear statement to both the owners and the FA.

    He is highlighting that WE all know the team picks itself AND that as such any one missing from that group results in a huge drop in
    our chances.

    We have blamed no fans/bcd - bad refs, now we are using positive Covid results as an excuse. These are all effecting everyone.
    Exactly right, too many excuses on the go.

    We've rarely been disappointed by the kids, Morton for example had a rough night v spurs but he wasn't helped by the managers tactical setup.

    Difficult to compete with a threadbare squad.
    Yes we might have a large squad, but nowhere near some other clubs in terms of quality.
