Ahh well...they have been very lucky with injuries to key players

Nasty, nasty muscle to injure as well, lots of individual fibres to heal and it's one of the most sensitive and nerve dense areas of the human body so any surgery or physio is excruciating. So sad.

As we were in the second half against the rags last season. Last night was a great result for us (although I believe an unnecessary one as I can't see us dropping points), they can either big themselves up and believe that they can win the return, which will distract them, or they can accept that they're out already which will leave them deflated. They're also likely to be deflated against Wolves on the final day.

You're right, but a defeat against Newcastle means we could win it at the Etihad on Monday rather than having to wait until Sunday when only relatively few of our supporters will be there. It doesn't really matter as long as we don't fuck up but I'm just being greedy.

Don't tell me they think they can still go through ?

They're still doing the double. In the unlikely event that they don't do the double, it's down to our financial doping (despite them spending hundreds of millions over the past season or 2) and because of Barcelona's cheating.

They proved last night that they are on the same level as Barca and matched them throughout the game. They were simply unlucky that they got twatted 3-0. Also, Jamie Vardy is the perfect player to ruin our title hopes on Monday, Brendan is hugely motivated to beat us, our players are sloppy cause we've had a week off (the same as our opposition) and they've already beat Newcastle and Wolves.


Oh, and they keep throwing out boxing metaphors to describe themselves. Nearly spat our my coffee laughing at it all.

I don't hold up high hopes. Or try and see reasons for that lot down the river Mersey to drop points in their last two games. Than again not are we for that matter.
But IF they do drop anything at Newcastle I’m sure we will be champions on Mondaynight. Mathematically maybe.

I thought Liverpool could and should’ve brought back at least two goals last night. Liverpool played well. The result didn’t reflect the game. It can however bring an expectation that they might get the game to extra time.

No

Thanks mate,no idea where I thought I`d read that.

 

[oakiecokie]

They won at Bayern Munich and scored 4 in Porto

Thanks BH.
Old age doing its usual tricks.

Oh dear

Next week we should afford none of their players any sort of respect. Fuck Suarez and fuck Coutinho. Two fucking snakes who left the club. c*nts the both of them. I hope we make next week 90 or 120 minutes unbearable for them. They should leave under no illusion that they aren't Liverpool players and will never be Liverpool legends.

Also, hope it's a realisation that Barcelona are one of our rivals. In the same way City are, Chelsea are, United are etc.. Don;t but their kits for you kids, don't buy their merchandise, don't go their games as a tourist. Treat them like the c*nts they are.

what that fucking melt fails to comprehend is that neither or Suarez or Coutinho were arsed nor bothered about becoming legends for the cult - that's why they left to a bigger club to win trophies

So was it true Barca played Bluemoon to the held in Liverpool fans?

They're incapable of comprehending that, as it would mean consciously accepting that there's several clubs in Europe that are a bigger attraction to players than Liverpool.

Any clips of that - hilarious if true

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

This is why football is fucked!! Sterling could win the trebble has been a great ambassador for our club, country and football in general dealing with racism and personal issues one being attacked on the way into training ?? Yet dick van dyke wins player of the year and the bin dipping candle lighting fuckers could end up winning nothing. MADNESS

Sterling gets a free bottle of Brasso every year according to his contract. Van Der Valk gets a bottle of Nivea.

Fun fact;

LFC average half as many points on pitches over 7000sqm. They hadn't had to play on one over that size for weeks until last night in the Camp Nou, and they have another one on Saturday at SJP.

Howay the Lads!

 

[FCBarca]

A lot of respect to Klopp, from his reactions to Messi's goals to his congratulations on the pitch with Barcelona player & post match commentary. Sometimes he has a tendency to articulate mitigating factors or excuses if you will but he largely credited his team as well as the opposition

 

[Fame Monster]

I think Klopp was the problem last night. Gomez at right back and Wijnaldum up top? This is why he's known as the nearly man and long may it continue.

 

[west didsblue]

This made me laugh from RAWK

"On Tuesday night, we go again. We go with absolute everything we've got.

We're not going anywhere. "

Presumably that means they're going nowhere with everything they've got?
Scousers are strange.

 

[cleavers]

Don't tell me they think they can still go through ?

To be fair, many of us thought the same when we brought the dippers home at 0-3 last year.

 

[aguero93:20]

He bottled it. They badly missed TAA last night going forward. Looked like they had picked a side to go 3-5-2 and if they'd dropped Milner for TAA that may well have worked. Going that weird 4-4-2 with no real wide player on the right (Milner played more on the left) and no creativity in midfield left Salah and Mané having to deliver as orthodox strikers, which they're not and having no natural fullback on the right along with no wide threat left Coutinho and Alba with acres of space to break forward into.
All that just to double up on Messi and even on a quiet night for the great one it didn't do any good.

 

[Thaksins Love Child]

TBF if they took some of their chances they would still be in it. Sounds familiar.

 

[Withnail]

They could be a bit leg weary from last night's efforts which I think increases Newcastle's chances of getting something slightly but Liverpool have been relentless in the league for weeks and haven't dropped any points since they played Everton away. I've been saying for weeks that we'll need to win all our remaining games to clinch the title and I still stand by that.

I know people are saying Liverpool have bottled it by relinquishing a 7 point lead (10 when we had a game in hand over the festive period), but it's only because we've won 12 in a row since the Newcastle defeat that it looks like more of a bottle job. In reality they've lost a tight game at ours, and drawn 4 other games against Leicester, West Ham, United, and Everton - all tricky looking games. The one game I would pinpoint as being the eipitome of a bottle job was when they had a glorious opportunity to increase that lead back to 7 points after Newcastle beat us when playing Leicester at home the following night, and blew it.

If Liverpool don't win it, it's far less of an implosion than Newcastle's in 1996 and United's in 2012

The Dippers have been in an excellent run of form, but Newcastle will not be easy and hopefully the Scousers will be fatigued and the Barcodes have a slight chance to get a point.

The game where Liverpool messed up for me was against the Rags away, where Utd were there for the taking, but Klopp was too cautious and did not go all out for the win.
