Looking at the Liverpool performances of late, I personally think it’s down to the winter break. Pressure is a funny thing, it builds up slowly and when you’re on the inside you don’t see it happening. The league is as good as won, but the records and living up to the hype has really put the pressure on when in reality the lead they have in the league should have removed it.

The break may have recharged the batteries physically, but removing the players from the pressure for a time and then them having to go back headfirst into it has taken its toll. If they’d lost a game prior to the break I don’t think they would have had the slight dip they’ve recently had. For me they could do with a decent gap between games to get their heads together and then they’d be back to the start of the season form…..Pagan

9, I know they’re currently considering it, didn’t realise they’d actually closed them yet.

That’s a big move…..Pagan

CM, Costa scored 20 goals in 2 of his seasons at Chelsea and 12 the other, Drogba scored 20 goals in 2 seasons and 11 or under in the other 6, he was out scored in those 6 by Lampard. Extrapolating a strikers record doesn’t work as the opposition isn’t constant.

JFH I believe was the last striker to score 20+ goals in consecutive seasons and was consistent. Peaks and troughs is where we are now game to game, Tammy may be the answer, and if he can bang in 20+ a season and with him being home grown would elevate him to legend status, let’s hope so….Pagan

CM, we’ve lacked a consistent 20+ goal a season striker for 20+ years, the last one I think was JFH, and prior to that Kerry Dixon, fortunately our lack of fire power up front was compensated for by Lampard…..Pagan

It’s a really difficult one, DDG wasn’t unsighted by Sigurdsson as he was moving to stop the original shot and would never have got near the deflection, on the other hand Sigurdsson had to move out of the way. We’ve all seen them given and not given, for me as a neutral, I wouldn’t care which way it went as long as the ref and his assistant made the decision instead of shirking responsibility…..Pagan

9, that’s down to organisation, and for that you need an on field leader, which sadly at the moment we lack…..Pagan

67, you’d have had plenty of sleep in the 80s, we only dreamed of being a top half, let alone top 4 team in those days…..Pagan

This thread although sometimes a bit tongue in cheek touches on the real possibility of games being postponed, cancelled or being played behind closed doors. For the big clubs this will have a minor effect, but for the lower league clubs that rely on gate money this could be a nail in their coffin (not the best choice of phrase) It would be nice to think that with all the money floating around the elite levels of world football that there’s some way this could be used to help the smaller clubs in all affected countries…..Pagan

9, yes we look a bit weak in the centre of defence, but surely putting Kante in front of them doing what he does best is a no brainier….Pagan

I’m pretty sure that the rules say that if a team fails to complete its fixtures then all it’s results will be expunged from the competition, so if no team completes its fixtures then there is no league. I also think that the end of May is the latest any fixture can be played, but not totally sure on that.

Mav on the bright side it won’t go to the current holders, a precedent has already been set there…..Pagan

9, you know my stance on offside, it’s not just about the position of the players, it’s about the time the ball being move forward, until that’s addressed you can’t say it’s definitively offside or not. Strange they never show it….Pagan
