LFCMadLad Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 https://www.thisisanfield.com/2018/11/liverpool-overtake-barcelona-as-fortress-anfield-record-continues/ Obviously this is going to jinx us and we'll now lose our next home game but... We now have the longest unbeaten home record in Europe stretching back 27 games. We've also only conceded 10 goals in that time. That's some turnaround since Klopp took over.
Cicero Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 Erm, didn't we just beat you a few weeks ago? Or is this league only?

Administrator Stan Posted November 13, 2018 Administrator Posted November 13, 2018 Next home game is Everton so there's no way the jinx gets broken...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted November 13, 2018 Subscriber Posted November 13, 2018 Most fortresses are designed to keep enemies out but looks like Liverpool have build one to keep trophies out huh?

So even though the game was at Fortress Anfield and Liverpool lost we are not counting that then because the word 'Cup' was used??? I mean just for accuracy how many games will they have gone undefeated at Anfield if you include the game they lost against us at Anfield???
Spike Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 It’s kind of like how Arsenal’s Invincibles lost quite a few games.

Subscriber Dan+ Posted November 13, 2018 Subscriber Posted November 13, 2018 I am amazed you've dropped this one when your next home game is Everton, truly amazed. You'll only win it 3-0 now.
Marc Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 Haha Liverpool F.C. and their fans never cease to amaze me. Who needs trophies when you can cherry pick some stats?!

Since Liverpool last won a League Title Peter Schmeichel signed for United and went on to win it 5 times... he then retired and had a son who went on to win the Title with Leicester City...

Yeah makes me wish football sold it's soul a decade earlier tbh.

An addition to that, Schmeichel Snr won his first league title at 29. Schmeichel Jnr won his first league title at the same age. Both also won their league titles on 2nd May in their respective years.
Cicero Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 Didn't realise this was the Liverpool banter thread
LFCMike Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 As if we have Everton and Norwich fans talking about trophies in this thread

At least the material is fresher than the ironic "Everton aren't they" I read in any thread that mentions my lot in a less than positive manner.

Yeah, the material is fresher than a mix tape from 1995. Which is also the last year Everton won something.

Besides, we've got the "First Club to unveil a new kit using their women's team" Vase from just a few months ago too.

In any case, I think these stats go a long way of dispelling the myth that Klopp can't organise a defense/is too tactically naive. Granted, I imagine if we concede a soft goal despite our defensive record this season, these criticisms will probably come up (as we saw against Red Star) - but the statistical evidence is there that he improved pretty significantly on what his predecessor did. And his predecessor I think more fits the bill of a manager who can't organise a defense and is far too tactically naïve - but people fucking love him because of the Suarez year papering over the cracks.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted November 13, 2018 Subscriber Posted November 13, 2018 I don't particularly rate Rodgers, and I certainly don't love him.
