That's true but a Champion's League qualification was still possible from the league - should we really be giving up on it?
That's kind of my point.
On each of these occasions each manager has prioritised either the league over the cup (for CL qualification), or the cup over the league (a cup and CL qualification). IIRC, we weren't in the best position going to the Bernabeu Stadium so the manager prioritised the league game.
This time around, we're not in the best position in the league and the manager has clearly prioritised the Europa for the league campaign. The clear indicator in this being, our best striker gets a run out in these "meaningless games", alongside all the kids, so we know Jürgen has put all his eggs in the one basket similar to TPM against Chelsea. That didn't pay off for the previous manager, will it Jürgen?
Remember, you can't sully the good name of Liverpool F.C abroad to the likes of Madrid but you can in your own backyard to the Swans.
I bet Eurored wishes he'd have never + me for that post now.
