the thing is there aren't actually many Liverpool fans who think that they will win this year, here on this forum or anywhere else - the vast majority I talk to think that City will take this, they've got the squad depth that all that cash can buy them
i reakon hes suicidal doing that.Quote:

they need to put the hammer down over the next few rounds and keep at least this gap.
The Wolves game is the FA Cup - that's Tuesday morning I think. I would rest them for the FA Cup and bring them back for Brighton the following weekend.Quote:

Things change very quickly and I expecting Liverpool to drop points as the season goes on and the pressure magnifies on them
There's pressure on both teams. I think that intensifies for whoever has to play second on the match days. There's pressure to take the opportunity "catch up" if the team playing before drop points, at there's pressure to not have the gap increase if the team playing first win. It works both ways.Quote:

remember those games a few years back where Coutinho tore Kompany a new ass time and time again.
fun stuff.
they played like a Brendan Rodgers team today. and thats not good.
Look at social media. Loads of fans of other clubs are celebrating this result. No one outside of liverpool and their fans want them to win itQuote:

I wouldn't mind, they are a good side.Quote:

get a new slant.
at any time in the last decade taking 3 points from Arsenal and Man City (away) would be a Liverpool wet dream.Quote:

anyway know how many points ahead they were the 'Gerrard slip' season?
didnt they beat City late(ish) in the season and everyone said it was over?
Haven't seen the game as Optus didnt have a replay and I was working. If your talking about his performances? He's been average for a little around a month now and Emerson should get a runQuote:

4 1/2 months of EPL still to play - leader at the turn of the year is just something for the media to create stories!
As for social media - anyone who believes that is an accurate measure of popular opinion just needs to look at who the president of the US is. Not a Liverpool fan but would be happy to see them win it - they have built a team without being too flamboyant with the spending.
As I said in the other thread City will walk this. LP are having a decent go.
Cant work out why there's so many anti dickheads going on about LP. Havent won EPL ever. Must be their aids playing up.
Stanny, you need to learn about this funny thing called Humour. Intelligent people are saying these things in jest because they know what it will mean to the supporters of the 2nd largest club in England to win the Premier League again after so long. Idiots are saying it seriously because they can't have nice things.Quote:

You know both teams are gonna have a crack.
I’ve always said, it’s not how you do against the top 4/6. It’s how well you do against the bottom 14. Dropping points against them on a few occasions is what costs you.
Top 6 will always take points off you.
And that’s what city do really well. They boss the bottom 14 teams. They literally have a chat about whether to make it 5 or 6.
Nah if you seriously think fans of the other prem clubs dont care about liverpool winning the prem after putting up with them winning everything in the 80s and then never shutting up about it then your sadly mistaken.Quote:
