You're defo a tory. Can tell. Aren't you a midlander anyway? I'm not anti South. Half my fambo is from down there. But it's not the same. None of the London clubs are anywhere near the size of the two biggest clubs in the country and whinging home county bellends aren't gonna change that.

No London club is anything like the same. Just take arsenal and Chelsea. Complained about their Europe allocation.. Then didn't sell it out I don't necessarily agree with @Storts's take on how the media perceives us - but I do think we've been getting pretty good treatment from the press since Klopp's taken over (because the media love Klopp because he's charismatic and they love that)… but lol fucking hell, you ought to travel more, the amount of insanely appalling generalisations I've heard from you in just the past week is absurd.

They hounded Rafa for doing an actually good job, they loved Roy for getting us in a relegation battle. They all want us to fail, year in year out. But that has fuck all to do with @Storts being from London. It's not even just the London press, it's also the Manchester press. And yeah, Merseyside > the rest of the country.

Yes because I’m mature enough and level headed enough to take bias out of the situation and think pragmatically at the difficulties they faced in getting to what was an entirely unsuitable venue for a secondary final. Now you’re onto a whole new argument though ...Even though nobody is denying they are both bigger clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the fact right now your team is so exciting to watch and generally the players are extremely likeable I also think everyone hates us because there were 3 decades of us being the best team in the country and people probably grew up thinking "fuck Liverpool, fucking bastards always winning everything" (like I had to do for most of my fucking life with Manchester United and Arsenal... and now City) and then they've got kids and shite and they'll say that to their kids. And I've also seen the media hound Rafa for any little mistake he ever made, even in seasons where we'd pretty obviously improved from the previous year, yet have the media tell us that Roy Hodgson was treated unfairly and that he deserved his job at LFC. In the Sky era I think Liverpool have played pantomime villains to Sky's designated heroes more often than not - and that's part of it. The manufactured drama is part of how they get people to care more. And even before we'd won the CL, the media and pretty much everyone were quick to try to pile on the pressure onto Klopp saying if he didn't win anything this season, regardless of how much we'd improved, we should sack him (at the beginning of the season, not after we'd ran City all the way). So even despite the Kloppo love-in, the press has been ready to pull the daggers out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael 1,116 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Despite this big loss, I can see Norwich City staying up this season. They play some really good technical football. They just need to get their injured defeners back and they should wise up tactically a little bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick 2,276 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 We need to improve defensively. I'd bring Matip back in, he didn't do anything to be dropped. Played unreal last season and his cameo in the community shield was great too, definitely needs brought back in. Gomez needs to earn his place. We can and will be better defensively, I'm sure of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Storts+ 2,424 Posted August 9, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted August 9, 2019 I think that game is exactly how I thought it would go Comfortable Liverpool win with Norwich showing some of their fantastic football but without the experience or nous to play away at the big boys. Not the best start to the season for the neutral but just glad football is back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluewolf 7,161 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 First half statement from Liverpool then apart from one or two decent chances in the second half thought Norwich looked very good and contained Liverpool fairly well.. A good battling performance from them I thought and they look like they will be able to hold their own this season.. and apart from playing teams that they might not expect to get a result from the others are up for grabs..
