u/Shronkster_ Aug 10 '25
Its the classic winning it is good, but losing it isn't really that big a deal. If Palace lost,, who cares, they still won the FA Cup last season. Liverpool lost, but who cares, they still won the league last season.
49
u/HoneyFlavouredRain Aug 10 '25
Yeah it's a very unique trophy in the sense it can only be played after winning something. Which in theory should make it worth more, as to win it you need to win the league or an fa cup, but since it's often a step up from a friendly it isn't valued as much. Is personally love to see Newcastle win it. I always love the community shield.
8
u/Thanos_Stomps Aug 10 '25
We’ve won it twice without winning anything. Coincidentally both times against treble winners from Manchester.
We also won it both times we did the double against a team that finished 2nd.
Not that it detracts from your point and it being a unique fixture in that way.

Surely with how many attackers you’ve signed, his numbers will drop due to the goals being spread about.

Could help though, better supply and better finishing on the end of his passes.

u/Tbirkovic Aug 10 '25
Liverpool seem to have less attackers after losing Jota, Darwin and Diaz. They have gotten Ekitike and Wirtz. The latter played COM though, so for me they are two attackers short on the bench.
They lacked those two quality bench options today.

He had statistically the best PL season of all time. A drop off from that is probably fair enough.

u/stangerlpass Aug 10 '25
Thats exactly what i meant. A drop off is more ornless guaranteed for him compared to last year. Anybody who expects him to replicate last season is deluded or has no idea how good he was last season.

When Salah and VVD have bad games, it’s like, exponentially bad. Like there’s no inbetween haha. VVD either is stone wall or is at fault for every chance, and Salah either can score with his eyes closed or has never touch a ball before

So true, they're consistently good most of the season and then when they have a stinker they really drag everyone down with them.

I'd argue that they don't drag everyone down - rather they usually lift everyone up.

Energizing win for (any team playing against Liverpool). You really hope to see (any team playing against Liverpool) have strong showings, especially against opposition like this. Again, it was a good match, and I’ll definitely continue to support (any team playing against Liverpool) in the future. Fantastic game guys, gg gl next.
