I concede that re realism in the crunch/tight big moments - my coping mechanism, but even you must concede it was a bit different.Little bit of ‘I’m a massive Blue’ insecurity creeping in at the end there…
And all those occasions you feared the worst and it didn’t come to fruition - if that wasn’t realism, because it plainly wasn’t, how would you describe it?
Lol love it.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 !!
Oh and although massive (does saying your going do that or is that your insecurity?) I could never be as massive as you ;-)
I'm trying to figure out the puzzle in which you've enlightened the forum.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
given the lack to our central midfield, and the startlingly different trajectories of confidence in the 2 teams, i find that fact that bookies have Liverpool to win this match less than 1 in 2 times quite amazing actually. I think we'll struggle, unfortunately.Liverpool are 11/10 to win this.
What have you seen from us that suggests we can run a team to jelly? We are the jelly.Why all the panic and negativity.
Theres nothing twixt the two teams.
Play tight and pragmatic pass and move possession football for an hour, run them to jelly and then take our inevitable chances.
3 points.
We need to halt this slump if anything is going to happen for us in the PL this season. Some would say it's unfortunate that it's this game where that needs to happen, but hey ho. On the other side some would say it's ideal- that's if we got a win or to a lesser extent a draw. We're just unrecognisable from the team we know, with the reasons for it having been discussed to death.This Sunday is a big indication of what way the players are going forward. If they can’t get up for this game and get a result then we have bigger problems than most of us think we have already.
Previous years I’ve gave them a pass because Liverpool knew they HAD to get a result against us at Anfield as we were always a couple points ahead or a couple of points off.
Knowing if they lose Sunday we’re 11 points behind having lost 4 league games in a row, be no excusing it. Even a decent performance & a 0-0 draw would do me know at this stage but I don’t think there’s a hope in hell of us keeping a clean sheet there.
1-1 in a 50/50 game, get the confidence up a little bit, Liverpool will have a blip but if we lose Sunday that blip they have will be of no concern to us.
Now, now.What have you seen from us that suggests we can run a team to jelly? We are the jelly.
We're not winning this. Both teams are opposite ends of the confidence spectrum.
We have nothing to lose, we’re all expecting to get beat, maybe even hammered. But what is shite is Blues on here bigging those bastards up, they get enough of that from the sycophantic media. Fuck them, we turn up on Sunday as underdogs, but let’s just have a go, they’re not all that. They’ll never get any respect from me, they’ll boo our every touch, attack our fans, maybe attack the team coach again. And yet there’s still Blues on here who wax lyrical about them.
I agree with all of that El Chapo, but nobody on here should be giving them any respect.Nobody here likes them but we have to be realistic. I have to agree that they're not as good as the media are making out but they are getting results at the moment which is all that matters. Given all our injuries and lack of confidence, added to the fact we have only won three times there in sixty eight games, a defeat seems inevitable. What we need is whoever plays to rekindle the fight and guts that won us the treble and in typical City fashion go and upset the odds. Here's hoping.
