Hightown I dunno if you mixed me up with someone else or misread what I said but Brian & I were talking about the anti football in general, not England. My only comment regarding England was I think Sterling should play next up as he has the speed & ability to change a game & I don’t think they have the quality to go far in the competition. Read my post a couple of days ago & I actually mentioned Falcao & his diving.
As for the cricket mate, us Aussies are dead set rubbish these days so I’d be picking that as being 1 sides. As far as I can tell cricket is heading the way of Rugby Union in Oz where no one really gives a toss about it. Maybe it’s jist because we are poop at both so no one is interested.

Brian Maybe we’ve both been a bit spoilt with proper football recently mate & it’s hard to see this style again, imagine being a manu fan & having it every week ?.
I do think Sterling should stay in the England 11, he has that speed & ability to bring out something to break a game open. Regardless I can’t see them going much past the group stages unfortunately, just not enough quality, much like my Aussies who I can’t see getting past the group stages.

Can’t say I’m really enjoying The World Cup, it’s a divathon. The diving is disgraceful. Just watching Columbia v Japan & Falcao must be going off the theory if he dives to the ground enough the ref will fall for it eventually. What a surprise he did & Columbia score from the free kick. I’m trying to get some mates into football but they are rugby league &/or boxing fans & they won’t even bother watching snippets of it any more. In boxing/league the players try to hide the pain from their opposition whereas in football players spend half their time feigning injury to get an advantage. Call it gamesmanship, experience or whatever, it’s nithibg but a blight on the game IMO.

Watching my Aussie team play France & they are hanging in there. The French are matching the Italians for the diving, contact or not. The commentators are fobbing it of as “smart play” but to me it’s the biggest blight on the game. The most annoying thing is they don’t need to, the gulf in quality is obvious & they should win comfortably. Regardless of who wins it’d just be good to see a good game without the diving & crap. I fully expect us to struggle & concede a few the longer the game goes but the lads are doing better than I thought.

Over reaction my a*** nine, a capitulation is always just around the corner with LFC. It happens time & time again, I honestly expect it. Even when we were flying a couple of weeks ago I was still being told I was just negative because I refused to get caught up in the hype about how good we were going. As improbable as it seemed at the time we failed to take advantage of playing 2 bottom placed teams & another not far above them & we are now a real danger of disaster. The more people say things like you are ie the players know whats at stake, playing at Anfield will guarantee a win etc etc the more uneasy I feel about it. I hope we get the win & can enjoy the build up to the final but they will make it very hard for us & the longer the game goes without a breakthrough the higher the tension will be & more nervous the crowd & players will be. I’ll be bloody well glad when it’s over, this should have been sew up a couple of weeks ago, put to bed like c$ty put the title to bed.

Yeah chucky, spurs had a great swagger there a month or so ago & looked very good. The trick is maintaining it & that’s where the likes of c$ty & manu have it over our lads, they have the quality in depth.

Mak, it’s more to do with the way we play mate. It requires a lot of energy to do it effectively & after so many awesome performances it looks to me like it’s caught up with the lads.
Yep nine definitely winnable but unlikely as it stands today. 3 weeks ago I’d be very confident but we have progressively got worse as the intensity in games has gone up. Injuries have killed us & our lack of depth has been badly exposed. I’d be stoked to get the win Sunday so I can enjoy the final because if we don’t I just know we will be playing Europa next season.

Nine, most of us would have said if Liverpool can’t get a win out of games v West Brom, Stoke, Chelski or Brighton they don’t deserve to be there either & as unlikely as that scenario seemed here a couple of weeks ago we are 1 game from that being a reality. I wouldn’t be as concerned if the performances were good but we were unlucky or got bad refs decisions but reality is the players are stuffed & we have gotten progressively worse. From being 5 up v Roma at Anfield we have basically fell to pieces & I’m not very confident we can get back that spark. I can see a draw v Brighton & a 4-1 loss to Real in the final. As I said we have lost that swagger & spark due to fatigue & I don’t think we will get it back.

Haha your funny nine, no matter what chelsea do Liverpool will beat Brighton. Much like how Liverpool will beat Stoke & Westbrom hey mate.
Reality is we have played ordinary the last 3 games & it’s because we have f all quality in depth & the players are totally shagged. IMO they are losing confidence & I can honestly see us drawing with Brighton, losing to Real & having no C/L football next season. It would be typical LFC, build up hope & optimism only to totally capitulate & end up with nothing.
The players aren’t all of a sudden going to get that spark & energy back. I see som saying oh we have a week between games now but as I said they won’t all of a sudden get energised. I think they have been run into the ground due to lack of depth & I think it’s going to be 1 hell of a capitulation at seasons end. I think we will be in Europa next season & wont get the quality in depth we need to improve.

Spot on Nil, I don’t think anyone would have predicted a C/L final for us at the start of the season. Whilst I’d obviously LOVE for us to win it I think Klopp, the coaching staff & the players have far exceeded expectations already & we should all be very proud of them regardless of the outcome of the final.
We MUST cement top 4 now & get the players in tip top shape for the final.
Great times to be a red ✌️

Over the course of 2 legs I think it’s fair to say we deserved to go through, they only really totally dominated the last half a game & got 2 absolute bullshit penalties in the process. We owned them at Anfield & held our own in the 1st half of the 2nd game.
Oh what a feeling going to another final ✌️

Spot on Mak, you could tell from early on the players were flat. Hopefully they will pick it up & get us through mid week & we have another final to look forward to & that will give us a bit of spark to finish the EPL season on a high note with the C/L to look forward to again.

Yeah Nil, injuries are killing us just when we didn’t want them (not that u do any time). Squad depth is certainly needed in the summer window, I just hope we have C/L footy to offer or we will struggle to get the players we need to progress.

We are just getting the big tractor out & clearing a nice smooth path for chelski to get top 4. Playing 2 relegated teams in the last few games gave some a lot of confidence we were favourites to play C/L again but I was never confident, you just know the capitulation is around the corner.
I hoped it wouldn’t come down to the chelski game away for a top 4 finish but that’s what’s happened. Winning the C/L could well be our only way into that comp again next season & with our squad dropping like flies that’s becoming more & more unlikely.

Well Liverpool we are as flat as we’ve been all season, it’s like they’ve completely switched all attention to the C/L. I hope we win it because a bad result here & 4th is on chelski’s hands & we don’t look very threatening. Klavan Karius & Moreno are an accident waiting to happen at the back, they are terrible.
C/L football next season is a must because it’s the only way we will build the depth we need to progress.

Shaquiri is looking like skinning Moreno every time he gets the ball. Moreno is terrible at defending.

God I’d love to be on the final again, I can still remember that bloody penalty shoot out, I was walking around hands in head every shot. I actually walked up the hallway away from the tv for the last shot & the wife said “ is it good that the players in red are going nuts”. I ran down to see little Luis in that clown hat & exploded. What a feeling.
