Worry about the 2nd/3rd place “play-off” Thursday, cyber chums!!
Fulham a bit unlucky I reckon to be going in behind, #3 missed 2 really good chances for them before the Goonies scored…

I guess you never can tell in football Mav but whatever the result on Thursday other than Liverpool I can’t see any other team being good enough to finish above City. I really can’t see City finishing lower than 2nd.

Spuds might be leading but I think Cardiff have started better…

Nine, it isn’t often that I would take a draw but I tell you, I would here right now. My worry is that they’ll beat us and a team who’ve just tasted blood, are back after a dip and beaten their rivals… 4 points is nothing. 7 points is vastly more substantial when looking at 17 remaining games but not insurmountable, i think everyone agrees with that. 10 is also not insurmountable, it’s been done before but this is where I am REASONABLY confident that we will do it. I kinda don’t like saying it, it sounds arrogant or assuming or something and it’s absolutely not meant to be.
When I think about this game, I definitely get anxious. There’s so much on the line here. I can’t remember a bigger 6 pointer in a long time (for Liverpool). Funny , how if we were 1 point ahead now and dreaming about winning and getting clear daylight between us. We should be delighted to be 4 ahead of them but you know it’ll be a hammer blow if we lose. Still, winning a title isn’t worth doing if you don’t have these challenges and win or lose, it’s all about how you respond.
I’m gonna be a nervous wreck in the build up to this game.
Will Spurs be back in it if City win? I guess but honestly, they bottled it against Wolves. I guess they still have us to play so a certain amount of it will be in their hands. I’m more worried about City TBH. No offense to Spurs and they may prove me wrong.

Lazy sods, get up and go to work, why must I be the only one! Football hangover is a poor excuse.

The more I think about it the less I think spurs bottled it against wolves. Yes we were 1-0 up at home and threw it away but I think the players were just completely knackered. 10 games in 27 days I think it was whilst having quite an injury list making it very difficult to rotate. Sissoko and winks had to play every game due to dier Wanyama and dembele all being out long term. Lamela has been injured again, alli missed a couple and vertonghen been out for a while as well. The wolves game was the one over the festive period I didnβt see but it sounded like the second half was appalling. Yesterday they didnβt look great but they got the job done after 20 minutes so really didnβt need to look good. Hopefully we can rotate for the FA cup game and give most the first team a few days off.

I watched all 4 Festive fixtures Paxo and for me the issue with the Wolves game wasn’t either a question of bottle, or even injuries/fatigue, it was simply the boys playing Billy Bigboots. Like yesterday, we could have been 3/4 up inside half an hour against Wolves, finally did score the goal and then spent the next 50 mintutes or so playing like the end half yesterday against Cardiff, i.e. training day. Then Wolves went up a gear or two and we simply couldn’t handle it, playing too cocky. We deserved what we got against Wolves, and hopefully, it was a proper slap across the chops for the squad.

Mak@11:26pm I understand how you feel mate and unfortunately there’s no relaxation until it done and you’ve got it won.
But comfort yourself in the fact that even should you lose at City and I’m not sure you will you will still be 4 points ahead of City and everyone connected with Liverpool would have been really happy with that with 17 games to go before the season started.
Of course anything can happen in football but after City I can’t see too many teams capable of beating Liverpool over the remaining 17 games. I’m looking forward to the game on Thursday it should be a belter. Cheers 999

Saw spurs on sat and they lost because wolves were the better side 2nd half. Spurs shoukd have been a few up but wolves came back into it much better 2nd half.
Spurs are missing some really important players. Are they are doing very well. Would love to see them win the caroling cup. Really like Poch
Used to really like Kane always just got on with it but now heβs always moaning at refs,diving around the place and just seems more greedy to me. Totally gone off him I have to say. Brilliant player but just

Not defending Sir Harry’s actions, no worse than dozens of other players in the Prem, but bloody hell does he need a break… I think he’s just about the only Spud/WC player who hasn’t had a little “hammy” for a few weeks. Expecting it to happen any day now, probably 12 hrs after Llllrrrnnttotote goes…

Nine, don’t forget that we’ve a resurgent Man Utd to play (at Old Trafford). We’ve also got Everton away, Spurs and you lads both at Anfield.
Also, a blip is a blip and you can drop points against anyone. With City in mind, You wouldn’t have looked at the fixture list and stopped at Crystal Palace or Leicester and thought “ooofff tough ones there” but they lost both.
This unleashed Utd will be a serious problem. I regret wanting Jose fired now I’ll tell you.

Ya I also saw some of the Spurs V Wolves game. Look, bottling it was maybe the incorrect term but they had no intensity. It’s a problem that I’v seen only too often with Liverpool. Up for the big games but lacking that drive for points against “weaker” opposition. Now, I have to kinda stop myself again because Wolves are alright. They are a side in need of time but they are reasonably capable, however they aren’t a big fixture. Spurs were a goal to the good and they just dropped off. Wolves started coming at them more and that’s when you want to see a response but there wasn’t one.
I actually marked the Wolves game against Liverpool as a test to see if we were the real deal. I said it before the game, that it was one that we would lose in the past. We played them on the back of some really tough fixtures and the pattern was that we’d be motivated for the big games, get the result and then be flat against average opposition. We weren’t this time but Spurs were.
I won’t write them off completely, 1-2 weekends and they could be right back in it. All eyes on City though for now. I think we saw a response from them in the last game. They might have been fortunate with one of their goals but you make your own luck.

sean – wont disagree with you about kane arguing and falling over, but i will hugely disagree with you about him being selfish. he is one of the least selfish strikers around. he is more than happy to sacrifice his goal scoring potential for the good of the team. he is so highly thought of because of the way he links up play, drops deep, sprays passes around, tracks back. you watch a striker like aubameyang and you see a great finisher but if he isnt shooting, hes doing nothing – all he cares about is him scoring. same with many strikers. kane does not fit in to that category. if he has the option to shoot or pass the chances are he’ll shoot and thats because he is one of the best in the world at it and he knows that. spurs fans would rather he shot because he scores a lot of the time. i will say (and it will come across as a tribal response) if you dont like kane because he argues with refs then you surely cant have any respect for any liverpool players or klopp. in my opinion, they are the worst for it, at least they used to be.

Spot on Mak, I’ve said it many times but I truly still expect c$ty to win it again this season for all the reasons you said mate. I can’t see anything but a c$ty win tomorrow & 4 points is nothing after that. They are getting players back now & will definitely go on a winning streak. We scraped Everton at Anfield & expect a similar tight one next time. As you said manu away now they are finally playing with a bit of freedom is more than difficult.
Thing is we haven’t had a blip yet & when it happens how will we react. Will we panic & play within ourselves or will we tough it out & still pick up wins. I’m certain we won’t go through undefeated I just hope we show some strength when the time comes & we lose one. I think we will find out after tomorrow what we are made of, I’m more than confident c$ty will beat us._____________________________

“if you dont like kane because he argues with refs then you surely cant have any respect for any liverpool players or klopp. in my opinion, they are the worst for it, at least they used to be”.
Are you serious, most of us were getting sick of Henderson being to polite in games & not questioning dodgy decisions.
