Liverpool thread 2018/19

If they beat us on the 3rd there's a high probability that the race would be over. We have to at least draw that game. It's such a shame that the Wolves handball goal and Pickford's unbelievable blunder have put us in this position.

And Mahrez’s missed penalty at Anfield.

Christmas number one
Wolves v Liverpool (20:00 GMT)

"All I want for Christmas is... to be top of the table".

Liverpool became league leaders when Manchester City slipped up against Chelsea and the Reds overcame bitter rivals Manchester United last week to retain their place at the helm.

Win today, and Liverpool will sit top of the table on Christmas day.

In 14 of the 26 previous Premier League seasons, the team in that position on December 25 has gone on to win the title.

It's been the case in eight of the last nine campaigns - the exception being Liverpool in 2013-14.

Let’s hope history - sorry, iiistreee - repeats itself.

City still has an edge. More chances and more control. Over a season Liverpool will need a bit of luck.

All these favourable penalty calls not enough already? Now you want luck as well?

This has much more of the feel of a 2011/12 than 2017/18.

Huge insight there mate. Hardly any of us spotted that.

And Mahrez’s missed penalty at Anfield.

That was Mahrez's fault though. We weren't in control of the two moments I mentioned. And football players miss penalties every weekend. The handball goal and the Pickford incident were both extremely rare.

''High probability"- of course we could still overturn a defeat. It would just be less likely, especially in combination with the trend that teams top halfway through the season finish top at the end very often.

You don’t understand probability and the trend you refer to is mythical.
