Liverpool (A) - Sun 1st Dec, 16:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

We're not winning this. Both teams are opposite ends of the confidence spectrum.

No need to park the bus. Just cut out the individual mistakes and we will give them a good game.

 

[Silva2021]

We have defended awfully but in most of the games we have been the dominating one.

A combination of missed chances and bad defending.

We are probably playing against the world’s best team on exploiting our weaknesses.

So I understand the pessimism.

However, we are not a worse team then them and I still expect us to have chances and dominate the ball.

Our players are as good as there’s.

It’s not a small team playing a big team, so let’s not act that way.

To person who said the gulf in class is like the 80’s or 90’s, not sure football is for you.

What's Gilingham got to do with it? I get you'd rather stay positive - highly commendable. Happening to our fan base? What? Realism?

Realism ......complete capitulation.

Its horrific and embarrassing, but more importantly deeply worrying.

Any rags or dippers loitering on here must be pissing them sens !!

What are we becoming/have become !!

 

[Father Paul]

Watching the dippers totally outclass Madrid tonight has not exactly given me any glimmers of hope

What about City v Madrid for the playoffs?

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Before this recent slump I was positive going into most games, Sunday I'm dreading it.

OMG !!

Sorry but it is more than poor defending and missed chances. At crucial points in recent games we have surrendered the initiative and we're effectively overcome in midfield. Our feeble defence has been unable to push back the tide.
As for the game on Sunday I expect a supreme effort from our boys which if the stars align in our favour just might yield dividends. Of course we have players who match those of any opposition you care to mention but currently a perfect storm of negativity has engulfed them and the collective is light years shy of where it needs to be. Sadly there is a growing gap between us and Liverpool, one we need to urgently address, and most likely they will prevail on Sunday.

Dippers all giddy as fuck in the office, next week is going to be a longggggggg week if we get battered.
Chance of me getting sacked as well ha

 

[Claytop]

A dippers win is just too obvious for it to happen. Convinced we are going to turn it on this weekend.

Sometimes the most obvious answer is the right one!

Hope you're right though...

You can spend your first week of unemployment watching Gundogs heroics which denied the fuckers a taste of glory.
