Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Slotification of Liverpool is nearly complete

I’m sorry but you can’t be an Ole (or Arteta) apologist and say they need time when we’ve just seen Tuchel come in and turn Chelsea around in 6 months. 2-3 years into a project, I’d expect to see tangible improvements, especially if you’ve been backed in the transfer market.

Do you consider 7 games a big enough sample size for whether there has been tangible improvements?

It’s not just 7 games though, he’s been the manager for 2.5 seasons and has spent over £400m. That’s more than enough time to have seen tangible improvements. This is the exact same argument a lot of my fellow Arsenal fans use and I don’t understand it.

Sick and tired of this Klopp comparison.

"klopp this .. klopp that ... then judge the team" ... it's not the "team" being judged here ..

this guy wins something major by the end of the day for your and his sake.

him not winning anything will not help with the #delusion.

"ole, himself without a good managerial profile, should not be replaced because there are no free managers out there with good managerial profiles" ole-logic

But we literally have seen tangible improvements over those 2.5 seasons. Both in results and squad composition. If you don't think we have then...well, you're just wrong.

2.5 to 3.5 years at MU is not enough.

10+ years of his career is not enough.

Your squad is considerably better but your performances on the pitch are marginally better, at best. The only difference is that you’re not parking the bus like you did under Mourinho…and Ole’s yet to achieve anything better than Jose or LVG.

I really rate the Utd squad but there’s a reason why no one is crowning you as one of the title favourites that’s because of who your manager is

That boy Vic at it again

And another got the golden boot on lock

Though you're on loan to PSG?

I gotta check in on the home team from time to time

Might be Napoli's best chance to win a title. But knowing Napoli's bottling tendency's.

Vic stays healthy all season and he will fire them to it, these nikkas ain’t ready

If we won the league cup and came 4th, is that progress? No.

If we go on to challenge for the title after going out of the league cup, is that progress? Yes.

"yeah that just about covers all possibilities ... except the one which leave the door open for me to still support him even after he fails in season 2021 - 2022"

So because we're not better than arguably the 3 best teams in Europe we haven't made real progress?

This is the most competitive, highest quality Premier League of the modern era. The gap between us and those 3 has been narrowed, whether another manager would have closed it more or surpassed them, maybe, we'll never know. But the evidence of progress is there.

You can get in to money spent etc, but from where we were, we are closer, that is progress.

There you go mate.
