Europa League 2015/16

I didn't say otherwise, or that Klopp would prove to be a failure or do worse than Rodgers over the long term, or even that you were wrong to sack Rodgers.

But your season's been crap (hell we've been fucking awful and even if we lose the FA Cup will still have more to show for it). Cup runs or no cup runs you finished 8th, missed out on European football (largely due to your managers own hubris) and won nothing. It doesn't matter if your name is Jürgen Norbert Klopp, Brendan Rodgers, or Shirley Bassey. All I'm saying is, if you hadn't got rid of him already and Rodgers had delivered this season it would be seen as justification to sack him, not a success.

Yeah but the passion and gegenpressing!

What was the fucking point of going for 5/6th spot when we had a shot at Europa League? Granted we didn't win it, but every man and his dog would give up the fight for 5th or 6th place if they could get a trophy.

So if you didn't win the Europe League, which you didn't, you didn't miss out on European football entirely?

So cute. Especially when you consider your season as success because you finished above Spurs.

Easy to say that in hindsight, but if we'd have played our first team squad for every game and picked up injuries you'd only be slating Klopp for that as well. Not to mention it still wouldn't have guaranteed a European spot

Well no, but it would have guaranteed he didn't lead you to your joint worst ever Premier League finish.

I'm not slating him that much, I just don't agree with the idea that he's come in and done a great job so far.

No ones arguing that he did a great job in the league, he obviously didn't. But he got us to two cup finals with a squad that is average at best and also comprised of players who aren't his, put yourself in our shoes, if it was United in Liverpool's situation you'd be excited for the future.

Why does everyone care so much about European football anyway?

I understand caring about it if you're shit but Liverpool are normally there are they really going to miss a season of Europa that's probably playing weakened sides until the last 16 and get knocked out of Benfica? - arguably it's better for Liverpool as thy can concentrate solely on the league and Klopp can do what he wants to do.

Same with Man Utd and the Champions League - Do you's really care that much about it?

We had to qualify for a numerous amount of years in order to aid repaying our stadium debt. Now that's done and dusted and we're rich as fuck our ambitions should be higher than faffing about in fourth place and going out in the first knockout round year after year

I should have phrased that differently. It makes sense from the clubs financial point of view, but I don't really understand why fans get off on financial benefits of CL qualification.

The sooner we met the financial objectives the sooner it gave us free reign to spend. Although that seems to not have been the case despite us signing Mesut & Alexis. We're the most cash rich club in the World yet decided to only buy a keeper last year.

Yes?

I don't see the point of Arsenal's obsession with qualifying for the sake of qualifying, but I like to see my club win things. Its hard to win competitions you don't take part in.

Yeah but you got knocked out in the group stages by PSV and Wofsburg. - If Man Utd scraped 4th they're unlikely to much better next season

Like obviously winning it is good - and if lets say Thomas Muller was wiling to come only on the condition of already being in the CL then fair enough.

Quite, but I find literal worthy of celebration in that.

'Woo we qualified for the Champions League and now we can pay off our debt in 5 not 7 years' has quite a hollow ring to it.

Does look like a bobble-head.

Also, the two farthest left people have the same exact body but different heads.
