Shouldn't Burnley start looking the other way in the table at this point? 12 points clear of relegation zone but only 4 points off 5th place and 6 off 4th. Great season for them already and a chance to possibly make it even better and give their fans a European adventure next season.
All that really matters is safety, that’s why Burnley fans are generally happy.
Strive too far and you end up disappointed, even when you shouldn’t be...a couple of years ago we got into Europe and it was almost a disaster.

I can see there maybe a bit of needle but there's no way Palace and Brighton are local rivals, that's pundits trying to talk up what would be an average game.

I can see more rivalry between Bournemouth, Pompey and your lot as your all along the same stretch of coast.

Local no, rivals yes.

Don’t need to be local to have a rivalry.

Just watching MOTD Klopp really is a bell.
How can a manager who will win the league easily from the position there in put out his near strongest starting line up but in the FA cup put out a mixed team.
And if Gomez is a player for England we are doomed.

He, and Liverpool are desperate to.win the league. The blinkers are on so that anything outside the league doesn't really matter.

He, or Liverpool, simply do not have the ambition of, say Ferguson and United, to aim higher and turn a league into a treble. He, or Liverpool, are not yet at the same level of a Wenger and Arsenal or maybe a Ancelotti and Chelsea to go for a double.

At this stage, they are happy to achieve something that Leicester and Blackburn have done before them. But, fair play to them, they know what they want and they are putting absolutely everything into it to get it. Perhaps this will be their year, where they win the league, and City win everything else.

Haha, sorry. I forgot honest opinions are not allowed. If they are, just quickly throw trolling/smoking accusations (because you have nothing else). Instead, we must all fool ourselves that Liverpool are the greatest, Klopp is the greatest, etc.

So, carry on. Well done in the league lads :). Hopefully you beat Atletico, otherwise you'll effectively have a load of friendlies to finish the season, which is a pity because Liverpool had the quality in the side this year to do much more.

Your opinion was based on Liverpool rotating for a cup game, and deciding it showed a lack of ambition, when quite simply the fa cup is the lowest priority of theirs left to play for.
The fa/league cup only matter to the big teams when they are out of contention for the league.

Liverpool have a relatively small squad, and whilst the title is all but sewn up. I'm sure they'd rather win the CL for what is it, the 7th time? So it makes sense. Because if they get past Madrid, then the FA cup would be a burden.

Totally agree
The league was won weeks ago but no-one from Liverpool would say it,Klopp included.
He’s puts out a weakened team against Chelsea,basically saying if we win we win but if we lose so what.
Liverpool’s current form won’t guarantee a win against Athletico when 3 or 4 weeks ago you would have said it was a certainty.
So basically all you have is a P/L title against the weakest opposition ever.
What could have been.

Poor me! nobody likes me! looks like somebody needs some attention.

You’ve had an Everton fan, a Soton fan and (I think) a Chelsea fan laugh and ridicule you.

Do you honestly think any of those people want Lpool to win anything?

But to read the utter rubbish you posted is a joke and looks nothing more than a very biased, bitter, utd fan looking for a bite.

Rubbish Tony, you’re better than this mate. Whether we like it or not they want to win the PL and playing your best team in the competition they prioritise is understandable.
Next year if they were in the same position I might agree with you, this season they have 1 priority.

Sports not built on ifs and buts.
You have to show ambition to win all you can when the opportunity arrives.
Every week Klopp says we take one game at a time,well that’s absolute rubbish if your looking to put weakened teams out or rest players for bigger games.

Yes agree here .
But Klopp has given a few mixed messages to the fans.
Put a youth team out in the FA cup early rounds then a much stronger team against Chealsea.
But 100% the fans want the PL .
Klopp has never shown any interest in the domestic cups.
He’s in charge and what he says goes.

A few years ago Mourinho binned off the pl and went all out for the CL via Europa league Because it was the more likely chance of success.

All teams will have priorities. Liverpool are much like Dortmund a few years back. They have a small squad and it needs rotating. You said in a previous post their form won’t guarantee a win against athletico atm where as it would have a few weeks ago. The same was true for the Chelsea game. They had already lost and he obviously decided that he wanted fresher legs for the league and CL.

I don’t agree at all
No team has ever blown a lead so big nowhere near.
Apparently some also Touting Liverpool’s team as the best P/L team ever,if that’s the case blowing a 20+ lead would be laughable.
Yes Klopp can prioritise it’s his prerogative,but don’t *** yourself when you put yourself in such a good position.
