Amazing how many people come out of the woodwork after six months to stick the boot in after one loss.
Let me spell it out for you: Most reasonable and rational liverpool supporters wanted UCL qualification at the beginning of the season, no-one dreamt we would be in the position we are in now. Which is top of the league with two games to play.
We achieved an automatic Champions League spot with four games to go, while playing some brilliant football with a team that was expected to struggle to break into the top 4 due to the differences in player investment and squad depth.
Anything achieved above this is purely icing.
I posted elsewhere, some people seem to have mistaken belief and hope that we COULD win the league, as that we expected we WOULD win the league. While the loss last night to a classless team worth over 300mil who play for a classless manager who has his team playing a more expensive version of an Allardyce gameplan hurts, it was after an 11 game winning streak. They did what they had to do, and everyone knew thats how they would play, it was up to us to break through. Which we didnt. He did the same thing to Barca ffs and we arent anywhere near that level.
It sucks that we have lost that momentum, but if the final round of the EPL a few seasons ago showed anything - its not over until the final whistle. Whether we win or not, its been a f*cking brilliant season. End of.
