KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Benitez talks Sense

Just been reading some of Benitez recent comments regarding Liverpool's chances of winning League titles...the man basically had been on Koptalk and been reading my posts as he is now saying for Liverpool to win a League title we have to play unbelievably well and then hope the three biggest clubs in the country United, City and Chelsea all have bad seasons at the same time...exactly what I have been saying. I will go one further than that and say we need all those clubs to all have bad seasons....AND....Arsenal and Spurs....too, I think when you strip it all back and look at the situation in the cold light of day...apart from a Leicester City type miracle we simply are never going to win another League title....
I have been lucky enough to see Liverpool win eight League championships not to mention FA Cups and European trophies so I am quite content with what I have experienced...it's just a sad shame anybody under the age of about thirty has or never will see it.
I can honestly say if you said to me back in 1990 that Liverpool Football Club will never win a League for at least 28 years I would never of believed them...can honestly say we never seen what's happend to the club since coming..such a shame...

i must admit the is the first time i actually agree with any drivel you have written but there is one slight plus point and its only a slight one it could be a whole lot worse and i could of been born an everton supporter all i can say is thanks dad.

luckily this post is about us and not Everton then I suppose...Everton are in exactly the same boat as us in that they won't win it again either...don't forget Everton have only gone three years longer in not winning the league than us...

Do you actually manage to fit your fat head through your front door in the mornings carrying your swollen ego behind you?

what can I say...being this clever is such a burden at times...

We've finished outside the top4 in about 8 of the last 10 years or something.

I think it's pretty obvious that other teams need to have bad seasons and we need to have an amazing one. This isn't anything new.

Crystal Palace just need 19 other teams to have an poor season and they need one good year and they're champions.

yes that's exactly the situation...it's one of the reasons I say the League is a dead competition for Clubs like ours...never going to win it and never going to be relegated....

It's not dead. It's highly unlikely tho. Man Utd finished lower than us last year. Moyes wrecked them. Van Gaal tried. We just need to spend a ton of money (wages too) and get a manager in who has won stuff. Sounds simple. But success leads to more success.
We just don't gamble enough. We finished 2nd and target Gareth Barry and Bolo Zenden.
We win the CL and sign Peter Crouch.

We will never win the league as long as we spend so little.

This shiitt is way too positive given our situation atm. Why are guys talking about not winning the league, when relegation is staring us in the face? This thread makes me think it's time to wake up and smell the urine! Someone's taking the piiss.

I think when Houllier was manager we had two teams we needed to have bad seasons Arsenal and United....when Benitez was in charge it was three clubs needing to have bad seasons United, Arsenal and then Chelsea and when Rodgers was in charge of was United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City. We are now in a situation under Klopp that we need those four clubs and now Spurs who we have finished ahead of in the League about twice in the last ten or eleven seasons....it's an impossible task now.
I don't know if fans think it's because of those bigger clubs being better and more powerful over last twenty years or is it because we have gone worse.
I made a statement on here a few days ago that it's easier for Stoke, West Ham, Southampton or West Brom to take over us than it is for us to take over City, United or Chelsea and I firmly believe that...
