A bit like Aguero, whose reputation was that he was deadly, whereas in fact he missed LOADS. But fortunately, created LOADS of chances for himself as well.

Ref and Var no doubt could also have a bearing on the result.I think you're probably right. However, easier said than done.
Our H2H record against Liverpool over the last 10 games in all comps is W4, D3, L3.
Sure we have the home advantage, but on the other hand I don't think we're playing as well right now as we have been over the past couple of seasons.
So the game at our place could go absolutely anywhere IMO. We could coast it 4-0 or get stuffed 0-4 the other way around. Or it could be a 0-0 draw.
In my mind, we at our best are better than them at their best, and therefore if both teams turn up, chances are we win. Question is, will we turn up. And luck plays a big part in it as well of course. Dodgy sending off or penalties not given etc.
Bottom line is I have no clue whether we'll beat them at our place or not. No clue.

We tend to turn up in the big moments.
In a weird way I am far more worried about the likes of Burnley and Villa than I am about Liverpool.

Strange you should see it that way, because I see the opposite. When we've won the league in the past, most impressive for me was our ability to go on winning streaks, grinding out result after result after result. Especially evident when we hung on to our 1 point lead over Liverpool, winning all the games in the run in and finishing on 98 points.We tend to turn up in the big moments.

And whilst there have been big crunch games in our past where we have delivered - United at home in the Aguerooooo season for example - I can think of many more where we've ballsed it up. CL final of course; Monaco 2nd leg; Lyon; Liverpool away in the CL etc.
So I have no confidence we will beat Liverpool at home, merely a hope that we will.

You’ve got a very selective memory which seems to hone in on defeats. Why have you cited the Monaco last 16 CL game as a “crunch” game when you haven’t mentioned all the last 16 games we’ve won ?

This International break has done me the world of good. The Palace result and negativity creeping in was getting a bit over the top.
Its about time I try to change Tact supporting the blues for this run in. I hated the last race with Liverpool in 18/19 until we actually won it of course. I'm just going to somehow try and embrace this (Isn't this what football's about) even if we fall short the journey has been fantastic again. Pep's not going to last forever, lets just cherish what we have in front of us. How many opposition fans would love to be in our position. I'm really looking forward for this finale to the season (although my bank balance won't). I'm going to try and take a step back from Social Media, especially if we have a negative result, just going to ignore the negativity that spills our way from Jealous fans and journalists and not get into any pointless spats which lead nowhere, so its best to detach myself from the whining people trying to decimate our club and have fun watching the game with fellow blues.
Time to strap myself and enjoy the ride. If we fail to win any trophies so be it, it still has been a great ride and we reset and start again (Hopefully with Haaland leading the line ;). I have faith though, lets see where it gets us. Up the blues!!
Oh and I believe 93 points would be enough assuming we don't get beat in the game against them. 2 draws and the rest wins . Easily said than done!
