Depressingly accurate. It's more based on the idea £125M striker should be able to make an impact for a few months than anything I've seen from him.

Perhaps not, but I recall similar comments (understandably enough) on here and in the media before we went to Istanbul in 2005. Just sayin'.
Fair, but benitez could set up a defence and we had a force of nature in the midfield.
It's more likely that we'd be the AC Milan in that scenario
Villa I could maybe see. Chelsea in not sure. They have depth and a variety of styles they could use.
We have give it to wirtz and Ekitike and pray
Villa look shot and will drop points. I dont find Chelsea or Utd particularly impressive either but they seem to win games.
Shame we're such a mess cause a top 5 finish would be a cake walk with a decent manager.
The league would have been a cake walk with a decent manager. Arsenal are gettable and city are up and down.
We're 18 points (roughly) worse off compared to last season. We're 17 off arsenal
I think they still believe in him, it's more than just that, he's the least worst option, or nobody currently available. Patience must be wearing a bit thin though.
I imagine it's about 50/50 on him being here still next season. It depends on how the season pans out, and the pressure from fans, without the latter, I'd say the chances of him being here would be much higher.

I am neither called Laurie nor on Twitter.
Already mentioned it a few times but I'd have more faith in a 65 year old Benitez taking over mid season and leading us to a CL win than Baldy Dutch van Waffle.
Carrick with a 1.56 points per game average for Boro to now being labeled as a genius by Utd supporters. He’ll get them CL football and I hope they hire him permanently as he’s not good enough imho.
We just need a new manager bounce. Someone to come in a let the players just play with some commitment and fire. We’d probably win more matches just with a change to anyone.
And it's not a coincidence that our best players are all new and young. They're like puppies. They're not thinking this is fucking gash, they're thinking fuck me, I'm playing for Liverpool. Wahey.
Everyone who was here under Klopp has been gradually deskilled and demoralised by this fucking moron. The same will happen to the new kids on the block soon. Speaking of things on the block. Bring me his fucking head on a fucking stick.

Yep. Newcastle haven't won at Anfield since 1994 and their own trauma made them lose.
They're also probably the only team with worse form than us at present, and their away form is even worse.

"Only three teams (Burnley, Leeds and Newcastle) have conceded more goals in the final 10 minutes plus injury time of games than Liverpool (10) this season and no team has lost more points than Liverpool (eight) from those goals.
Those eight points would put them level with Aston Villa in third, but instead Liverpool find themselves in sixth and four points behind Chelsea, who are fifth."
"The Dutchman opted for a style of training that was less intense than what players may have been used to.
Slot had worked at Feyenoord with Ruben Peeters who followed him to Liverpool as the first team's lead performance coach. The pair tailored training to specific players, altering the intensity based on Liverpool's schedule and demands of upcoming games.
Sessions became longer but less intense and, on match days, Slot's Liverpool played less intensely out of possession than Klopp's teams did.
All of these factors, built upon a squad that was conditioned to play under Klopp, combined to leave them remarkably injury-free last season, resulting in Liverpool being crowned Premier League champions.
They have not been so fortunate this season.
Liverpool have looked to break teams down by initially committing bodies to the box, an approach that has left them vulnerable to counter-attacks.
Teams have deliberately looked to play long against Liverpool, which has also introduced more end-to-end running and duelling. The Liverpool players have physically struggled with this.
Slot has since gone for a more measured and defensively solid set-up which has reduced how end-to-end games are, but Liverpool struggle to score early.
The Premier League is home to the most sprints and high-intensity runs in Europe. Opponents can afford to minimise how much they run through a season by spending large parts of the game in their pragmatic low blocks.
However, Liverpool's fans are likely to want to see high-octane games from their side.
With an uptick in soft tissue injuries, there is a worry the training methods and on-field tactics described here have been sub-optimal this season when compared to last season, with Liverpool's players dropping off in the latter parts of games.
Between wanting to appease fans, ensuring his players stay fit, wanting to score early and aiming to stay solid at the back, the Liverpool boss has a difficult balancing act on his hands.
