Premier League Games 17th -21st Feb '24

[bluemoon32]

Sheff Utd won 3-1 at Luton a couple of weeks back. Perspective

And we only won 2-1

Their attacking play is really impressive, especially considering the players they have missing

Going to be hard to get a result at Anfiled

I'll keep saying. They look good because they have all the space to play in.

If teams set up against them with two rows of 5 in their own box, liverpool would struggle too. No where for the fullbacks and Diaz to run.

Very streaky but give them a little credit they are taking their chances at the minute. Luton did give them a little jolt.

To be honest, 7 wouldnt have flattered them. They had so many chances. With half a team missing. Interesting to see how we do next week

Not surprised at all by this result. No chance they were dropping points tonight. If we have any hope of winning the league we are going to have to get a win at Anfield as I don’t see where else the Dippers are dropping points. Especially with the Klopp fairwell love in and the PGMOL in their back pocket.

 

[jimharri]

Hopefully we will but we're still going to need them to drop points elsewhere.

Technically speaking; no, we don't. If they lose against us, but win every other game, it won't matter as long as we do the same. The main drawback with the draw against Chelsea was that it removed the safety net of a draw at Anfield being good enough. Now, assuming they keep winking, we have to win at Anfield.

And we only won 2-1

Yeah that was when they were playing pretty well. We had about twenty attempts, another keeper doing his worlds greatest impression.

Be funny if they finish with a far better goal difference than us but we beat them by a single point again.

 

[BringBackSwales]

I see lu’on got 50% of the free kicks but obviously there’s were worse cos they got 80% of the bookings

 

[Alexia_Ko]

GD is looking rough right now. All those mindless goals we conceded are biting us in the backside

 

[bluemoon32]

There’s nothing like a good over reacting generalisation in bluemooon

Ha.
Maybe so but we get a bit frantic sometimes and dont just play keep ball like we used to.
Either that or im watching games when drinking too much

 

[Tricky_Trev]

In fairness to the cunts, hammering Luton with the injuries they have is a bloody good result

I think they dip far less than us when not having their best team. They seem to be able to play whatever academy player they want and they not only step in and do a job, but they will even play outrageously good. We are the least complete of the three of us and it’s difficult to see that not counting against us. I don’t think we are on their level this season and it’s surprising we’re this close.

 

[mancityscot]

Hard to see past them this season, attack is too good.

10 injuries and they’ve still routed them

 

[hertsblue]

15 fouls to 14 and 1 card v 4.
Same old one sided officiating

Reading the updates on the Sky Sports app (I'm watching the Napoli vs Barca game), Diaz had a similar game to Haaland against Chelsea.

Similar to us with a bit of luck mixed in for them with the way the chances are falling for them.

Every little helps!

 

[jimharri]

Like i said in another post, we dont see out games as we used to.

That wasn't what I was replying to!

 

[manimanc]

Where did 8mins come from?
Was there an injury or did the Premier League want more goals for the tramps?

 

[bluemoon32]

That wasn't what I was replying to!

Oh well

 

[super_city_si]

Would be easy for us to do if they played as open against us.

Watch the difference in how Luton set up against us.

Its a fallacy. If we sat back and hit long the game would be stretched just the same. We dont on purpose. We typically build slowly to prevent dangerous turn overs. Teams have time to retreat and get behind the ball.
if a team attack liverpool and turn it over, the ball is at their defence before they have time to retreat. we dont attack at pace like that.
