Liverpool thread 2018/19

[PeepingTom]

If things had gone a tad different in a couple of games, the Mahrez penalty, Pickfords flap, it would be a lot closer, but then if my auntie had bollocks she'd be my uncle. There's absolutely no excuse for us losing at home to Crystal Palace, and for not getting something from the game at Leicester.

We've done this to ourselves. Liverpool currently look unstoppable, but then so did we until a fortnight or three weeks ago.

We have to beat them on Thursday! 3 points tomorrow as well needless to say. If we pull that off I think they'll crumble.

Not that I condone it btw,
Also think our game will end up city 1 Liverpool 3.

4-2 City.

You lot will be out to smash us, and will be well up for it.

I think the more open, the more it suits us, but also I don't think Guardiola will play *that* open.

What's your fullback situation? Fernandinho?

Ugh... Travelled back home from Xmas in the states... Kept radio silence and recorded the game. Was happy as a clam seeing the first goal thinking a Christmas miracle was a foot. It went tits up there after and I have a drunken debaucherous evening with the missus lined up to stave off anxiety re: tomorrows game.

First Post, and it will probably be the last.

But I've read Alot on here about how we light candles and we're always the victims...

But all I read in here is how much the FA, UEFA, PL want you to fail.

I read the "coach welcoming party" thread and everybody was laughing saying "ederson has been held at gun point in Brazil" and "nobody will be scared of the welcoming"

Then after the defeat you all said it had a massive impact on the players?

Which one is it?

"Not that I condone it btw"
sounds a bit like - I am not biased against xyz "but"

The reason City fans were shocked after the game by the "welcome" wa not because we were defeated - we are not professional victims like you - but the extent of the attack, sorry "welcome", and the brazenness / lack of police protection became apparent.

I don't do anything even close to the high pressure job such as playing a CL quarter final.
But if I was attacked on the way to office by a mob throwing hundreds of Missiles at me, I would be pretty subpar that day I suspect.

Of course the multiple critical referee decisions in Liverpool's favour helped as well.

Yeah, well said. It smacks of sour grapes if any City fans are putting their position down to refs or FA conspiracies. They’re sanctimonious twats, for sure, but they’ve been better than us so far. Hopefully we’ll be better than them in the second half of the season. Nowt wrong with being magnanimous occasionally.

They get A LOT of (wrong) referring decisions going their way.

Why? Many of our fans probably will--it's hard to underestimate how edgy and delirious many of us get at the thought of a title--but also us younger ones haven't experienced us winning the league.

But I don't think the team is so mentally weak. We will drop points enough to keep it a proper title race--which it still is now anyway--as we can't win 20 games, but also I don' t know that we'll crumble. It's Brighton, Palace, Leicester and West Ham after you lot. I'd be ok with 7/12 from those games, and that'd be a marked loss of form.

You will have Wolves, Huddersfield, Newcastle, Arsenal so if you beat us you could be on a run of 15/15 points.

First of all are you posting from Ireland, London or Scandinavia?

Secondly, when we post we post as individuals.
If one poster said “ederson has been held at gunpoint in Brazil”, and another said “it had a massive impact on the players”, that means two different posters are posting differing views on the coach attack. There are 1000’s of posters on here - we don’t all speak as one humongous mass.

Thirdly, why have you chosen today to join and post? You could’ve joined and posted in May 2014, or perhaps February 2016? A bit sad for you to only have the minerals to do it today.

Lastly, if you blow winning the league will you return?

Yep, agree with that. They’ve still been better than us though.

 

[trotsky]

I try not to go down the conspiracy route, but it has nagged away at me since Dyke was quoted as saying it would be best if City did not win the league and the refs are paid by his organisation. Add that to for some strange reason VAR was scrapped until next year despite good reviews in the WC. This season has never felt right. The armchair muppets need their excuse to keep subscribing.
Having said that, there's no excuse for how poor we played at Leicester :-(

Ridiculous weren't they? Their first goal offside, we had a good goal disallowed for offside, and a blatant penalty not given, first leg arguably should have finished 2-2. Then to ours, that goal not given when it came off Milner was simply disgraceful, would have put us 2-0 up before half time, and even with that forst game 3-0, they were panicking like fuck.
