- After another setback in the league for Liverpool, I'm wondering what exactly is going on with our general play, the Salah and Klopp touchline issue and the absolutely BIZARRE referee decision to stop play.
This is the longest video I think I've done, and I am trying to reduce the amount of cuts and edits. Let me know what yous think, if you like the longer vids, and tell me WHAT IS GOING ON!!

I'm 45. Klopp's magic sucked me back into an unhealthy relationship with football wherein the results could affect my mood. I'd grown out of that in my mid 20s. I look forward to caring less and some perspective.
Until the next title race
Yeah can’t wait man. Love football but it’s stupid how much it can consume & affect your mood. I hate it
I’ve lived with the fact that I’m going to be invested and things don’t go the way you’d like, that’s football. What has been killing my love of the sport has been not being able to celebrate when goals are scored because we have to wait for the VAR check to be completed and the consistent controversy of incompetent refereeing.
Me to
this is 100% my journey, and I AM WHOLE YEAR OLDER!!
PGMOL stole the title from us. By my count its 8 points to date. Odegaard handball, Doku's kick, Disalowed goal vs Spurs and Anthony Taylor's nonsense.
Dropped 10 points in the last 5 games. They would be at 85 points.
No be real, salah and van dijk have been horrific all year
If our strikers were taking their chances we could've survived the VAR skullduggery
no they didnt. We are fucking shit and deserve this.
This with bells on
I don't know what your formula is, but you've stumbled onto creating the only type of video I can stand to watch about Liverpool when the chips are down
Thank you!
I'm more and more convinced with all the shite decisions we've had since Diaz VAR goal that Webb and his cronies have tried to make sure that the Spurs result isn't defining. Think about it. They would really have some explaining to do if it cost us and after all, Mike Dean admitted that they sway decisions to cover up for each other. It's all bent as fuck. No wonder Jurgen feels burned out.
The whole mindset and psyche of the country is bent. Dean admits that anywhere else and there's an inquisition. Meanwhile, in England, "oh, well that's just unprofessional...but anyway we move on. And how dare you insist any sort of corruption or malice by the way. Have some shame and remember your place".
People posting that Klopp is done like it's something that just happened, he came out 6 months ago and said he was done, completely spent, nothing left to give, unable to take the team forward, I'm like did people miss that announcement or something?
I agree but I think it’s just becoming more visible of late is why. The guy looks like he can’t stand to look at a football pitch anymore
@@watchthedopethrone fair
"What is done is done, what is lost is lost...but you cannot let that disappointment devour your confidence" Bill Shankly said this to his boys after being put out of the F.A. cup by Chelsea in January 1966. Liverpool were defending the cup having won it in 1965. So it goes.
Shankly and Klopp parallels are errie at times. Bill 'only' won 6 major trophies in 13 years but was adored. Rebuilt a side after being too loyal for too long. In the second version there were lads who didn't stick around too long. Will Nunez be the new Tony Hateley??
As much as I love Salah, we've definitely seen the best from him and his attitude is disgusting now. Absolutely nobody is bigger than the club. Hopefully he's sold this summer.
Well said Andy, after doing so well with the kids during all of our injuries it looked like we were going to push on once we had our 1st choices back, so disappointing to fall away especially against Man United and Everton!
I just hope that Klop's final games do not end up like Gerards where we lost 3-1 to Crystal Palace in his last game at Anfield and then his final game for Liverpool losing 6-1 to Stoke.
Anyway I'm excited for next season to see how Slot gets on!
Called it after Klopps announcement, reminds me of the last "quad" season. Burnt so brightly after the announcement but you can't sustain that level of emotion for as long as we needed to, burnt brightly but burnt out and no legs left with games to spare. If the Club had waited another 6 weeks I reckon we may have done it
The ups and downs of supporting LFC. 🥰 ❤️ YNWA!!
We also live in a world where a shoulder pull gets a yellow but dangerous ankle breaking challenges don't even get a yellow.
We've been covering the cracks from the injuries for too long. Now we have people back from injury who just don't look right and that includes Salah.
Also, I'd give my right testicle for a Klopp hug.
That ending destroyed me, we’re gonna f***ing draw the shit outta that game 😂😂
I rewatched the Anthony Taylor thing a few times and the only thing I can come up with is that Taylor must have seen Areola lean down again (to fix his socks) and because of the distance/angle/timing assumed "oh shit he actually IS hurt" and then decide to stop the play after having restarted it.
Anyway ....
Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool not having an extra 2-4 trophies because we lost out by like 3 goals/season will go down as one of the greatest injustices in the football world. Losing the title to City TWICE by a single point is just total lunacy. Klopp deserved more accolades and that team deserved more accolades in the greater football diaspora.
i made my peace with the season falling apart weeks ago, probably after the United game is when it felt like it slipped away.
since then my mood levels have been considerably better on a weekend. coincidence, eh?
thar united game in the FA cup was where our season truly ended
You are a classy man Mr Cantwell.
Whilst we are all losing our heads, whether that's about Salah, Nunez, Klopp, Edwards or Slot,
you are very good at helping us put things into perspective.
This era has been incredible for it's highs and the disappointment of losing 2 league titles by the closest of margins against the 115.
We should and hopefully will remember that when we look back on Klopps time at the helm. That is hopefully going to be regardless of how well his successor does.
Im actually looking forward to seeing what Arne Slot can do with this team. He's proven able to deal with losing multiple strikers in one summer and delivering a title the next. Hopefully our front line changes won't be as dramatic as losing the 4 highest scorers, but we could do with some new/refreshed players across the squad. How we achieve that will be down to what he wants and what we can manage/who we can get in.
Right now I really want it to end so soon, Jurgen's looking tortured on the touchline and it's so unfair that this great manager is going out in the way that these last 2 months have gone. I'd have taken anything to get one more trophy in his final 2 weeks. Even just finishing second place in one of them would have been better than this.
❤YNWA
I've become numb to the results in the last few weeks. Professional football in a capitalist world is brutal.
As much as I don't like to say it,but, I think the era of rigorous pressing for the whole match is in its twilight. Last time Klopp's Liverpool performed at the same level for two consecutive years without being plagued by injuries was the 97 pointer and the league winning seasons. After that it's been one hit season followed by one season of slump.
Newcastle are good example of the physical toll of pressing on all the first team players. For this type of football to be successful year after year, two sets of perfectly synced first team players are needed. Or at least 16-18 players who are all top drawer and can fit into the playing squad seamlessly.
I am not blaming anyone or anything, I just stated my opinion, and I would love a logical discussion on it.
22 Minutes of reassurance. Thank you Andy for this much needed boost. Tough end to the campaign but never say never!
Firstly… love the comic strip thumbnail 👏 Now onto the video… 🥴😅
I just love watching you because I feel the same way in almost every aspect. Especially the way you describe your emotions. Spot on.
I don't think we can underestimate how much each season has taken out of Klopp, especially when the powers that be don't care to listen about fixture congestion, poor refereeing and so on. He's given absolutely everything, and you can kind of tell he needs a break to recharge at this point. It feels like we never addressed our tactical issues, sadly your can't 'vibe' your way to a title.
I just hope Klopp gets the send off he deserves, what he's done for LFC can never be underestimated.
He does it every time he’s subbed.
Mojo = Confidence. My cousin works at the club and says Klopp hasn't been himself at for about three weeks. He's gone very quiet. Love your stuff Andy.
source: dude trust me
😂 course he works there.
Cool story bro
@@JayLFC404 he's a she 😂🔔🔚 quite a few of the family work for LFC. Our parents are from Towson Street. Buy a map and figure it out.
My uncle works there and he says Klopp still comes in every day with a huge smile and hugs for everyone. Would I lie to you?
I love Klopp, we all do. But one good thing about the bad run of form is I think I can accept him leaving a little more. After last years crap season, and the capitulation this season, I do think we need a new fresh perspective.
The biggest problem with football analysis is that the score bias is massive. If we focus on the facts of the matter.
Fact 1 is while our expectation at the start of the season was probably a fair perspective for the club's position, the good performance on the pitch and Klopp's announcement of his departure spoiled that expectation.
2nd fact is, we didn't have a title winner number 6. Rodri, the number 6 of a rival of ours, we witnessed how many problems they had when he was not there; the other's number 6 is Rice, the most expensive English footballer ever. Liverpool's number 6 is Wataru Endo, with great respect to him. This quality difference naturally brings 5-6 points. Rodri and Rice are really important players and it would be extraordinary if the team with Endo could win the title.
And third fact, there has been a really serious finishing problem this season. Evident from the stats like xG and big chances conversion. Despite the first two facts, the club could still continue in the title race if the finishing was not a problem.
When people look back at this season years from now, they'll see that Klopp didn't do a bad job.
You're right about everything but the last point - not that Klopp has done a bad job - but people say things like "Klopp only won one Premier League". That 97 points season was insane. By any metric that season makes that team one of the best teams in Premier League history. Only 2 teams have got more points in a Premier League season than that - Liverpool and Manchester City. Yet we finished 2nd and that's all a lot of people remember unfortunately, even if that says more about them than Klopp or that season.
Imo Liverpool's GREATEST Weakness is their defence, namely; THEY AIN'T GOT ONE!!!!
TAA is terrible as a defender, VVD is asleep half the time, QUANSAH is young and still learning, Komate & Gomez are mediocre at best. Robbo's about the only one trying. I think there's only been ONE CLEAN SHEET the whole season and how many times has the team come from behind to win? Always conceding the 1st goal.
I agree that the strikers have missed chances but guess who's missed more? HAALAND!!!!! That's right. You have to create chances to miss em, AND score em. It works BOTH WAYS!!!!!!
I'm not a Liverpool fan but I think you have a potentially world class number 6, but he's had a massive injury, can't remember his name, Endo is most probably a stop gap for him
@@nmz3450 Stefan Bajcetic. Injured all season 😢
@@theselector4733 9 clean sheets ... and only the 2 teams ahead of us conceded fewer goals so far. Maybe you only watched the last month?
Seeing Salah now, and remembering how Bobby said Salah and Mane did not get along. We can see that Nunez is not really a number 9, he's look much better beng further back and starting from the sides. I belive we would have been better with Mane instead of Salah.
Nah man
That guy wanted to go Salah is still loyal yes he's been playing shit lately but he's out of position does no one realise that?
@@sahiljoykutty The question I'm posing is would it have been better if we kept Mane instead, because it turns out it was a choice between them given the bad relationship they had.
@@vangough10 nah Mane's finishing wasn't that great
And look how he turned out a Bayern I'm happy we let him leave
Good luck Arne Slot. You’re going to need it.
Always in a division with cheat clubs and pgmol
@@redboyjan True.
The best way I can relate this season is playing Man City away. Before the game you’d 100% take a draw. But when the game pans out and you’ve been 3-1 up and it ends up 3-3 you feel properly deflated. This season feels like that. Back in august if you’d said comfortably third low 80s points total and a trophy, I’d have snapped your hand off. But it’s that we had so much more in our grasp
It's fine. If people can just back up a bit, we still had a great season. Sure, we have been wasteful, concede easy goals and stuff have not worked right for some time now, but I think most of it comes from people coming back from injuries too fast. Quality drop 10-15% and that's significant at this level. It sucks, but it is how it is. Klopp, Salah and the players are still incredible and I'm proud of how renewed the team have seen after an abyssmal last season that showed a worrying negative trend with aging players.
It’s an awful time, i don’t mind losing to teams (obviously I’d rather not and it does ruin my mood) but it’s the clear fact they’re not playing for the manager. The one man who doesn’t deserve it, besides mr cantwell, is klopp and it’s just heartbreaking man. It’s just unnerving for the new time ahead. I’m still confident but it’s just more unsettling for me personally. All we can do is just embrace all the good, by god we’ve got to try
That ref incident just goes to show the confusion in football these days regarding the rules. Same as when gabriel picked up the ball for arsenal in the box. The arguments about clear and obvious, what is a pen, what is handball. We dont know any more but some players sure know how to take advantage of the confusion.
What a whirlwind of a month. What hurts the most is the indifference and anger that is setting in as I watch games. I’ve had ups and downs under Klopp, but I was always reassured that Klopp’s Liverpool will come strong again. But when we had all to play for we capitulate. It’s actually horrifying to witness. It doesn’t help that I’ve always been indifferent to Salah. I appreciate your videos and the vibe you give in them Andy. Thank you for reminding me to find humor and positivity in times like this.
😂 nailed it 👏 the rollercoaster of emotions the last month or so is spot on. International break was where it really started with injuries and the slow decline in performances but still managing to win. Then came the utd games that had us dip again and that was really only a lack of finishing, after those and the europa exit, that was it. Muted reponses in the west ham game, expectation gone. Every so often trying to remind yourself "champions league was the aim after the midfield overhaul and particularly the injuries, this is still really good", but then so maddening we kept tripping over our bottom lip to send klopp away with a carabao cup 😔
Enjoyed that. It could have been worse, Palace could have beat us with Hodge at the helm.
I was really disapointed with salah.
Love the longer videos but there was a disgraceful lack of partridge in this video! Also I’m a big fan of slot based solely on the fact that him and sineone had a dust up during a pre season friendly where his side beat AM. Thats my guy!
I need a link to this
Youre probably right in what they said to eachother, the fire reference is probably the fire klopp would create if salah said anymore
I think it is tough for players to go through a full season with Klopp training methods. It's been a couple of seasons where it takes a toll on players later in the season.
To be honest it was nice to see even shite goals go in after we've not been able to score basically in an empty net for 2 weeks.
It's eerie how our reactions are verbatim. The same for all the moments.
Up the Mighty Reds. Hope you and Kweev have fun over the summer.
They look mentally tired more than anything. The restart will do them the world of good. At this point I'm just treating the games like friendlies, no point getting myself worked up knowing everything will change in the summer.
Watching you talk about Liverpool feels like someone reading out my internal monologue. I don't even care any more that we'd be clear in first with unbiased reffing (even losing to Palace, Everton & drawing to United, Luton & WHU), or that we replaced our entire midfield in the offseason, or that our players were out injured for months. It is a great season, objectively, but subjectively it's just too much. I've turned off the feels since Atalanta, just going through the motions now.
Seriously I think something is happening behind the scenes. Not just Klopp. Is it Edwards returning?
Great video Andy. Well played ❤
Also, big up to the longer format ❤
'I don't like it but I'll have to go along with it', as someone once said.
for me klopp came back for afters, after t here was no issue, and of course Salah is going to talk back, he's a highly motivated player and been the most important player in Klopp reign at Liverpool
Antony Taylor's competence is his incompetence
Thank you, Andy.
I think Klopp should’ve tried Salah down the middle when jota was out and Nunez couldn’t finish
same refs , same dodgy decisions , week in week out, once or twice could be perceived as human error, but when it's constant like it is now, it's becoming a damn joke!
Every teams coach to his goalkeeper before a Liverpool match: “Just stand there and get big. Don’t commit too hard to either side.”
Nobody is afraid of Liverpools attack.
I was wondering what our fan ambassador had to say about the recent performances
I am now cleansed. Until the next game.
Couldn't have put it better Andy, I've stopped caring and that's terrible of me as a fan :(
Totally agree.... I found myself rooting for City. Mainly because Arteta is a bad winner...
This has gone very Roy Evans/Spice Boys era. I remember two seasons when we fell away in April. Poxy vibes.
Salah and klopp have been the two talismans of lfc for so long. Its sad to see them at each others throats especially salah who must realise the agonies klopp must have been going through in his last season with Liverpool. I know forwards are meant to be selfish but not this way mo, not this way.
Even without this alleged spat, I think Salah was going to be sold this summer anyway, I’m with you keep Nunez
There is a player I thought we should have kept for this season and that’s Bobby Firmino, I think his contribution would have been enormous to the team generally
Good times or bad times, support the club. YNWA
Summed it all up well, Andy, cheers. Yeah, fuck it for now. Klopp’s status as a proper LFC legend is untouchable, but I’m looking forward to next season and Arne Slot (if it does end up being him)…
I think the word you're looking for is the old classic - inconsistent. Oh and lack of teamwork, unable to control ball on first touch and being able to pass from a to b. Apart from that everything fine.
There’s really no explanation. It’s all very strange. The ref was shocking (standard) but we were equally crap. Should Salah go, I dunno 🤷♂️ he’s a legend but maybe removing the ego from the dressing room will lift a cloud off the other boys.
Certainly if a new managers coming in fresh too.
It may be a moot point with Edwards and Hughes controlling appointments and contracts. Can't see them renewing Salah's contract. Possibly several others gone too.
Fans put the blamed on Klopp because of the mid season announcement makes our player play really bad. Nah. Its the PLAYER not THE MANAGER. Yes of course all the strategies and game plan planned by Klopp but who execute it? 😂
Joyce reporting that Salah wants to stay and extend his contract.
First match this season that I haven't watched one way or another. I was at our youngest Great Grandaighter's (twins!) Birthday party. Time well spent.
Like you say, it's a bit of a relief that we've dropped out of the race early rather than later.
Oh yeah, Ornstein reckons Mo is expected to stay, by the way. Just a bit of a light at the end of the tunnel!
Nice one AC!! 👍👍👍
My dad is Arne Slot and he said he is moving to Liverpool to start a new job as a bus driver
My other dad is Barney Slot and he said he’s taking a job in Liverpool as Michael Edwards’ tea lady
From all the blunders the ref have made with Liverpool games this season, I believe the ref may have a consent that LFC either wins the league or loses by at least 5 points. They won't allow them lose the league by a slim margin, which would create a huge controversy. When LFC is leading in the league, a lot of ref calls are in favor of them; but once they lost the lead, the opposite happens.
Salah? That's him gone now? I thought the same thing on the day but apparently two days later everybody saying the club says he's staying. So what do I know
At the start of the season (after last years efforts), if Liverpool fans were offered comfortable 3rd and a League Cup, we'd have taken it. Add in the injuries and they're lucky to be 3rd. All season they played like a 3rd - 5th placed club with an incredible number of lucky points which flattered them. I don't want to hear any bullshit about VAR or anyone else robbing Liverpool. VAR didn't keep going 1-0 down at the start of every match. They are very lucky to be where they are.
Enjoyed this Andy.
Ultimately i think we are badly coached. The small things like the praise Arsenal is getting for their set pieces Im like why can't we do that?? Subs in this game where made far too late once we had the lead fresh legs of Jones and Gomez needed to come on. Our game plan is far to predictable and we are way too slow when we turn it over and break. 👍
McAllister has been targeted by the opposition who have suddenly realised how amazing he is, that has caused our downfall imo
Well said boss
Selling Salah feels like a negative 8 on the fckn yes scale, but it probably makes sense when you really think about it.
U know its bad when the Andy Cantwell vid is 22 mins....
I've been fucking about on my iPad for the last few games. Usually give our games 100% attention. Says it all really.
With Liverpool's luck Arteta probably wins the league.
P.S: Listening to Andy and The Late Challenge is cathartic as f**k.
Thanks mate.
84 points?
The way we are playing we could end up finishing 5th. We can't assume we will get a result at either Spurs or Villa. Then playing Wolves and needing a win anything could happen
I'm here big man! Feed those children 👍
BLESS YOU!
If Klopp is tired let Pep Ljinders take over for a bit instead of him getting angry, take a back seat and advise when requested or just fist bump at the end, Salah has never been the same since AFCON so let’s extend by a year and give him a season with new manager and no AFCON
Man city need to win it. Then when pep finally pisses off they'll all realise just how great Jurgen was.
In a nut shell, we were lucky to be on top and then unlucky to be down. Unlucky in the way the players have downed tools
WASN'T THE OFFICIAL REASON THEY COULD NOT STOP THE TOTTENHAM GAME, BECAUSE THE REFEREE IS NOT ALOUD TO JUST BLOW HIS WHISTLE AND STOP THE GAME ONCE THE RESTART HAS HAPPENED. HE GAVE THE RESTART. NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS!!!!!
I'd have bitten anyone's hand off if they said to me would we be winning a trophy to us back in August plus competing in the title race i was saying in August id be happy with top 4
Gakpo should have just gone for it, and put it in the back of the net. Then let VAR sorted out.
Ok last part was sarcasm.
We move on to next year hopefully the new manager will fit in
This video still managed to cheer me up despite the dross weve been served.
…hard to play with broken hearts, Klopp’s divorce from the club is hurting us, and the kids are not all right…
At least we were in those finals as well
It’s just a sad sad sad end to Klopps reign. And honestly, not sad as in a shame, sad as in, pathetic!
PGMOL is really tempting and easy to blame as seen in the comments, but if you're being brutally honest and look at us in the cold light of day, we've never looked like champions. We've just looked like an imperfect team that could just maybe limp over the line.
Our injury record is atrocious for years now, our tactical gameplan is not good enough, and our midfield and defence are too porous.
City and Arsenal just look and feel better.
Why does Arnie Slot remind me of Matt Lucas
I felt deep sadness when I saw that.
At this point, just give Man City the epl trophy every season🤷♂️
I said Andy in August to my brother if we get top 4 I was biting hands off and would have
Not only the good times but the amount of times we've boiled the piss of opposition fans😊
Why did Klopp announce he was leaving to the squad? It would have eventually leaked out, so they had to announce it. He could have kept it to himself/ the board (so they could find a replacement), till the end of the season, and none of this would have happened. The squad are kids! The pressure of giving Klopp a big send-off proved too much. Also, how are they expected to run through walls for a manager leaving at the end of the season. I hope it doesn't taint his legacy. The on course there is the vendetta from rhe refereees who hated klopp railing the assistants and ref. The obvious bias against liverpool and for city and arsenal makes me not have an interest in the football because it's not a level playing field.
