Liverpool thread 2020/21

They didn’t break any records.. not one, despite crowing for months how all our records will be confined to the bin.

Most points gained from dives and refereeing 'errors'? Looks like the rags are taking that record this year though.

Chairman accused of murder.
Klopp telling lies about us.
I imagine our PR department are all over it.

they have twice as many as us. I don't see Ancelotti crying about it.

Afternoon gents, just here to say good luck for tomorrow although it might be us that needs it on current form. Myself, I think it’ll be a damp squib of a game like the last one. Neither manager will want to give even the slightest amount of ground to the opposition so everything will be cancelled out for the most part. However any sort of definitive win for either team will be a massive statement by them. Should be good watching how it plays out.

Maybe soon to be City too.
B B C = Brighton Burnley City...

Hopefully nicking that one tomorrow.

Think you'll be unpleasantly surprised. Pep smells blood. Klopp has planted the seed in his players minds that they are mentally and physically fatigued. Your players will be up for it no doubt but you're going to see a rare City win at Anfield. CTID

Can't be arsed being annoyed about what Kloppo has said.
Managers talk bollocks after,and before games all the time.

I can see why he might smell blood. And if I was him, I’d be drumming that into my players. But I’d also remind them that whatever else is going on, they still have a team that can cause serious damage so beware of the wounded animal etc. If we won 3-0 tomorrow and comfortably, I’d be a little surprised but I know that’s the real team. Conversely if you won in the same circumstances, that doesn’t make us a bad team overnight and when the team is back to full strength, we can go again. A loss tomorrow would definitely make retaining the title a much taller order but it’s a mad season so who knows? Game on.

Isn't that from before the Everton game was postponed? Here's how December and Jan compared for both clubs.
Liverpool had a 7 day gap between games in December themselves and an 8 day gap in Jan, which is more than City had.

Without the postponed game on the 28th of December, City would have still had a 5 day rest. All City got was 2 extra days and avoid the 2 games in 48 hours against a depleted Everton, who then lost their next game. The lack of class from Klopp here, is that he has no sympathy for the concern and disruption the outbreak itself caused. The training ground had to be closed down for a deep clean, as well as losing the players who had to isolate for the next game. I'm pretty sure City would have much preferred that there was no outbreak at all, a 5 day rest was coming and Everton's loss in the following game suggests it might have been a good time to play them.
