The better the hands are the club will be in next year, the better it is for me because I will follow everything and will watch it from wherever in the world. If Liverpool can win the league the next year, and if I don’t disturb, I will be around and watch the truck driving through the city.
the idiots saying “durrr liverpool’s downfall needs to be studied” have genuinely lost the plot.
going into this season, if we’d been offered a 3rd-place finish and winning the efl cup in the way we did, nobody would have turned it down.
klopp has overachieved with this team, and the players have been phenomenal- they’re fucking exhausted, they’ve had the least rest time of any prem team, of course they’re doing to fall off.
we aren’t city. we don’t have the funds to have essentially what is the equivalent of a full mid-table team on our bench. we cannot push super hard at the end of the season like city can, because they have the experience and the depth and, most importantly, the money to have the experience and the depth.
we have overachieved. this season is a success. no shit, i wish we won the league, but that isn’t happening, so we have to look at the bigger picture.
The thing about the season fizzling out the way it has is that in a way, it's making it easier—though no less sadder—to say goodbye? Because Jürgen deserved better than this. He deserved a farewell that was worthy of everything he is and everything he gave to us. But if they're going to play like this, he deserves better than that and well, in a way it feels like an era has come to an end and I'm fed up and I want things to change. And if we were doing well, I'd have a harder time letting go and saying goodbye to this era, this squad, this manager, you know?
Sorry, I'm trying to cope because I'm actually super sad and upset about how we went from saying we ride at dawn for Jürgen and we'd pour blood, sweat, and tears to win every single possible thing we can get him and all we have for our efforts is a Mickey Mouse cup that seems like we won as a fluke/by a stroke of luck. It'd be one thing if we lost by a millimeter. There's tragedy in that too and I haven't recovered from that season where we almost got close to ending the title drought pre-Klopp and stumbled at the finish line.
But I'd rather have that heartbreak because it would have been emblematic of Klopp's era. We may not have won everything. We may not have won as much as we should have and so deserved...but we always, ALWAYS put everything on the line. Hearts, souls, minds, bodies. That was the one thing we could count on from the boys. They'd grind themselves down to the bone and run and run and run until the whistle blew (that was what Liverpool was known for! For never giving up!) even past the agony through sheer force of will.
Not this. I'd say never in a million years this, but this weird lifelessness has been growing for a few seasons now...except I really thought we'd turn things around. :/? I thought Jürgen's announcement gave a much needed jolt of energy and was a wakeup call. I thought with the way we were playing despite all the odds stacked against us, all the injuries and bad luck we had (and even before all that, things had backslid enough that before the season started, many of us just hoped we could get in the top four to qualify for the CL again! We didn't even think we'd be in the race for the title and then they made us believe again with scrappy wins and last-minute goal after last-minute goal!), that we were back to our old ways and kindergarten fc winning the Carabao Cup was a return to form and a sum-up of what this club means and is about. And I don't know how to come to terms with that.
Gotta say, I'm glad I stuck with Dungeon Meshi even though I wasn't pulled in by half of the season and despite finding it mildly fun, I mainly stuck with it just for the hell of it because I wasn't keeping up with anything else. But I've been on the ride ever since the Red Dragon fight/Falin resurrection and I want to binge-read the manga, but I want to enjoy the anime not knowing anything sdksjfasl.
fandom tumblr was another casualty of streaming services. we used to be on here posting about the episodes that were coming out weekly and posting gifs and writing insane shit about the tv shows we liked. now a new season of a show will drop and we’ll talk about it for a week. two weeks tops. and then that show will leave collectively conscious for 1+ year till the next season drops. there’s a reason succession sundays was a blast on here
we used to have real television
