To win the trophy for 3 years is not an achievement.
How can they not be good enough to get out of the group stage in the UCL the last two years is more baffling to understand

Also, Kolo was immense. Simply immense.
Coutinho went missing today. I'm a fan of the guy but he seems to be a little inconsistent tbh.
Kolo Toure was our MOTM as far as I could see and as stated above he really shouldn't be the best on park for us.
I just got asked by someone at work whether this season was a failure and it really made me sit back and reflect.
In terms of trophies, yes it was. But we had the chance to win two of them (even though we lost) against most people's predictions. We changed manager and played the first season without our talismanic skipper.
I'm disappointed how it turned out, but we got a pretty good ride along the way. So yes, a failure by the definition of it, but the bigger picture is starting to come together.
wouldnt ya think if you can win the Eurapa x3 that you should be going deep in the CL. amazement
I am not a Liverpool fan but see alot of games as my boys are.
I don't think a season out of Europe will do them any harm apart from maybe getting one or two players. They have a couple of seasons of instability and at no time in that period have they been consistent. This is what Klopp will work on next season.
He has the time now to instill a culture and start something special - with a quality coach and larger stadium next season I can see them (like West Ham) making gains next year. I do believe there are players out there who want to play for Klopp and for that club. No Europe didn't do Lester any harm, though it will damage them severely next season.
TBH, Liverpool went much further this season than many thought - kudos.
The club have accepted a £15 million offer from Bournemouth for Jordan Ibe.
What are people's thoughts on this? For a player who I would still class as one with potential (not the finished article) and who has come through our academy system, I think this is a good offer.
He would be behind Lallana, Mane and arguably Markovic as well so his potential for game time would be limited.
While much like the Jets, I'm waiting to see the big picture of how the new signings fit with Klopp's plans. I must say I have been impressed with the manner in which Liverpool have been doing their business.
Unlike previous years where transfers seemed to drag on and on we have been simply getting business done. Little fuss and breaks only shortly before it's actually tied up.
I wonder if this a result of minimal influence from the famous "transfer committee".
Reports Smith is off to Bournemouth as well. £6million (I think, or there abouts).
Liverpool accepted he bid, down to personal terms now.
Not bad for the kid. Liverpool let his contract lapse the other year. Then he came back and starts for Liverpool and plays some minutes. Now wanted by other Premier League clubs.
As much as I love the idea of having an Aussie playing for LFC, We are just as likely to sign a new left back and he won't get game time and rot away.
For him, probably a good move and he should play plenty of football and hopefully improve his national Team credentials.
(A few people don't want to see him near a socceroos team again after his Greece game on sydney).
Best of luck to him.
Yeah looked like even Ange was jumping on the Smurf/Fuxspurts bandwagon of Alex Gersbach being the greatest young fullback this millenium.
I was watching EFL this morning and Jonjo Shelvey was playing for Newcastle.
What a terrible footballer he is.
Liverpool were smart to sell him when they did.
Classic example of another overhyped english 'product'.
Their national managers are even worse overpaid mongs
did anyone watch the game v Barca? were they any good?
nah, friendly, any score can happen. Lets wait till the prem starts and settle back into possibly 5th
Watched, and we were decent. Although I dont know wtf was going on with Barca's defence, we walked through them for the last few goals.
Mildly optimistic for the season ahead - Mane looks the goods and Origi will hopefully have a break out season. Although I still think we need a dedicated DM and another LB.
There is a new online network called EON Sports Radio. They have the audio broadcast rights for both the EPL and A-League. http://eonsports.com.au/
But there are other EPL viewing options about without ppl having to bitch incessantly about Optus.
Check out a mob on FB called Techshop Media. They are in WA and sell an android tv box ($300) and a HD channels subscription ($280 per year).
There is also a company I saw profiled on newscorp (imagine that) called VanishedVPN. You only have to pay for their subscription. $9 p/m or $36 p/y.
Have confirmed with Wests they will be installing Optus - however it may not be an time for the opening round.
You don't need to pay for EON as far as I'm aware. Just download their app or it should be on Tunein
yeah look this question doesnt really need answering, but how the holy hell did Liverpool have Torres and Suarez at their peaks and never even manage to win one freaking League title?
My goodness Torres was a freak.
Liverpool have had the cattle. Not just Suarez and Torres
Not forget they have had Xabi Alonso and Mascherano whom are were World class players.
It would be the other shit ****s they have had like Stevie G Carragher who they kept for years but delivered **** all in the League
Sorry lads, if they can't win the league with some of the players they've had the last 10 years they never will.
The problem was having too many shit players around them instead of adding more world class players to the first XI
