Liverpool (h) CL QF pre-match thread

[Dr Jacoby]

Yesterday was a huge game pep treated it like a dead rubber. Tuesday is a dead rubber and hes treating it as a huge game weird bastard at times

Why was yesterday a huge game?

Even after losing, we are 13 points clear at the top.

It' a derby and win the league against our main rivals not sure why that needs explaining tbh

We have been significantly better than United for quite a few years now. Of course it would have been extra special to win the title yesterday but it’s understandable Pep had eyes on Tuesday’s game given our substantial lead at the top.

I can’t say I am overly fussed as to how and whom we win the league against. It’s a matter of when, not if.

Give over.

For me it was the biggest game in my City supporting history. Might not have been for many but it was like that for some of us.

To beat United to win the league, that would have been something to look back on when I’m an old man as the ultimate!

Yes it was a huge game.

Be honest what would you celebrate more, winning the title away to West Ham or yesterday against the rags?

I'd go further and say the scheduling of our Wednesday Tuesday tie was fixed.

And knowing we probably be in an important champs league tie have the scum and Spurs either side of it.

There’s some right mard arses on this forum.

We’ve already won the cup and we’re going to win the league by possibly a record margin.

This isn’t a “look where we’ve come from” rant it’s a look what we’ve already achieved this season and could still achieve if we stop feeling sorry for ourselves - players and fans - and go all out to smash the scouse scum on Tuesday.

We are easily capable of beating them 3/4 nil as has already been proven this season.

Man up.

It wasn't exactly April 2012 when Kompany scored. We have a lead of 13 points, and we are a much better side than them now. I don't think they've finished above us in the league since then.

No we want the dippers to come at us, we have to defend better, this way they will play there usual game and tire themselves out on 60 mins, giving us the chance to score 2/3 last half an hour, but the onous is on us to defend for 95 mins and not concede, that's the only way we will go through imo.

Not sure that plan worked too well at Anfield where we couldn’t get a shot on target.

I do like your version though so let’s go with that:)

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

Can’t believe some of the surrendering on here. People talking about dead rubbers, if any professional footballer felt they couldn’t overturn a 3-0 deficit at home they should choose another job. Especially these players and this manager will absolutely believe they can get through, stranger things have happened.
Hope everyone just turns up and sings their hearts out and gets behind the team and we’ll see what happens. Trust me, those players will be hurting and will just be desperate to get back on the pitch again to put it behind them.
