Seven year itch (alien.top)

What happened to pundits and fans talking eagerly about Klopp’s seven year itch? Last year they said Klopp cannot make it after 7 years! They cited past instances from Mainz and Dortmund and concluded that Klopp was done and Liverpool needed to move on. This year they are doing well despite so many red cards, deflected goals and perfectly good goal ruled out. As the season pans out, things will most likely improve and Liverpool can keep challenging City for the title

The caffeine doping cycle is back in Liverpool’s favour 👍🏻

[–] cerealski@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It might be. But you know it's not prohibited, right?

So? Doesn’t mean it’s not immoral and uncompetitive

[–] cerealski@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Uncompetitive?! You think others are not doing it? Maybe they're the only ones taking a break from it and doing it in cycles.

And immoral? It's caffeine dumbass, it's not like they take deadly doses, they probably stay under the intoxication thresholds.

[–] Philosophical_lion@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

clearly as immoral and uncompetitive as City cheating financially

​

also, there was a doctor on this sub(?) saying that claim was bullshit

If you don’t think literally every player is doping, I have a bridge to sell you.

It's not caffeine in those "special inhalers"

What do you mean? He's been at Liverpool for more than 7 years. So why would they talk about his 7 year implosion cycle when he's doing well in his 8th year?

[–] swimtoodeep@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Who are these pundits that said these things?

[–] nathanfr@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I've literally never heard of this idea before.

[–] Lhadar31@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Which team has scored the most deflected goal in this year? Can somebody look into this

[–] 85Red@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Grow up dude

[–] Aman-Patel@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Lol. There's always a Liverpool fan out there crying about something. Playing good football, high up the table and you're making posts that basically give the vibe "I told you so." So pathetic and I feel sorry for the Liveprool fans out there who have to live with the reputation that fans like you give them.

[–] MorningFresh123@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

He’s won 1 title lol and done fuck all recently

[–] ChocolateStill5901@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Their catastrophic failure last season isn't talked about enough. Plenty of talk about Chelsea's implosion but they at least had excuses.

[–] ChefJoeyW@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

May be the worst take I’ve seen on here and that’s saying something.

[–] Kapika96@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah, that's how superstitions work. People only talk about it if it "could" be true, not once it's proven to not be true.

Remember all the people talking about 2012 being the end of the world back in 2011/12? How many people talked about it in 2013? Or Y2K in '99 being forgotten about shortly afterwards.

Why would football superstitions be any different?

[–] ImpressiveSavings776@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

When has anyone ever talked about that.

Any manager getting near 7 years is rare... Klopp included. What's your point?
