The enigma that is Liverpool..........

Why is it that Liverpool can win "everything else" EXCEPT the league? I will never understand this club. I am forever baffled that they can win FA Cups, Carling Cups, the Champion's League, etc, but can't win the PL to save their life.

Opinions?

I know it's not the Premier League but 18 league titles isn't bad.

Probably because we find it harder to stay consistant over a 38 game season, or our squad doesn't have enough talent in depth to sustain a title challenge.

It's much easier to raise yourself for one off games than it is to stay like that for a whole season

We're awesome.

Winning Cup competitions is much more to do with luck - not so much luck as in getting lucky bounces of the ball or the referee's decisions, but luck in the sense of your side clicking on a particular day, the opposition having a bad day, or whatever. The last 3 trophies they've won, they could easily have lost if the penalties had gone a different way, the one before that, if United had shown up on that day, if Beckham hadn't scored an OG, they would have lost that as well, the time before that, they were playing an awful side who scored a Golden Own Goal for them in a 5-4, the time before that Hyypia (or was it Henchoz) handled on the line and got away with it, Birmingham should have beaten them in the previous final, and so on.

If a side is of a top 4 standard and has a lot of luck going for it, it can win a lot of trophies. It's much much harder for luck to have an effect on a League title though, because there are so many games, it doesn't come down to one off matches, and their quality is so far off the top that luck can't really effect it. In the year when they were close enough that a bit of luck could have seen them over the line, 2009, they didn't get it, every other year it wouldn't have mattered.

It takes great performances to win cups. It takes great teams to win leagues.

The league relies on genuine quality.

True it's not bad, but it doesn't really matter now.

So because they haven't won the Champions League in the past 6 years, they don't get credit for ever winning it?

Harsh but fair.

I actually agree with you on this.

you could say the same about the league, but the OP states that they have carried on winning everything but the league since the 18th title. This thread would've been relavent like 5 years ago, but not anymore im afraid.

why so many dots.................
