Just saw the Liverpool - Burnley recap. Of course Burnley virtually gifted Liverpool three goals today.

I am of the firm belief that good teams create their own luck but it's odd how teams seem to always play their worst matches against Liverpool. I'm actually amazed, maybe it's the dippers insane press or their speedy attackers but whatever it is we should take notes. They seem to hardly break a sweat winning games while we struggle immensely against the same opposition.

Are you joking? Have you seen their away record? They've got to play Wolves, Everton, Watford, Leicester and Burnley away. I wouldn't be confident of Arsenal winning any of those games, especially if they do progress in the Europa League. We've been poor, but lets not pretend that Arsenal are suddenly amazing. This is a team that have only won 2 of their last 10 away games. They'll drop plenty more points.

Jesus, didn't know they had Wolves away too. I don't know why I've heard numerous times that Arsenal have the best run-in. That's a horrible set of away fixtures. Minus Burnley they're potentially the toughest away games outside of the top 6.

So two days after Arsenal get fined by UEFA for a late kick off and a pitch invasion..

.. There is another pitch invasion.

No fucking wonder we've a negative mentality swirling around this Club.

Stop fucking moping, and let's get behind them all and see it through.

They'll annihilate Everton who are truly terrible, but otherwise that is a tricky set of games. Hopefully Chelsea resumed normal service today and United will start dreaming of CL glory.

Yeah I was thinking that as I was typing it to be honest. Burnley away will probably be tougher than Everton.

If you can keep Liverpool out for the first half an hour they get frustrated as they only have one way to play.

Plus, Burnley away is a much more challenging prospect than Burnley at home. Especially when Burnley just go to shit. They put everything into our game and have been dogshit since.

Chelsea still have to play pool and Utd. Arsenal have hard away games but no top 6 team. Utd have city and chelsea. We all have hard games coming up.

Trouble is, when do we ever play Liverpool and not gift them goals. I'm more than expecting us to do so again against them. Its a mental block our players have this season. I don't think I've known a year for quite some time where we've gifted other sides so many goals through mistakes on so many occasions.

Thing is Liverpool are a better side this season than last. Our players always seem scared of Anfield. I've no doubts they will be again this time round.

Er.. because it is fucking depressing. Do you not think so? Have you not seen the table?
We were miles clear in 3rd and have fucked it up in a fortnight with games against the mighty Burnley and Southampton. We're away to Liverpool next!
What the fuck is there to be happy about? If we dont sort it out we'll will be out top 4 very soon. Lighten up? Fu#k off :sneaky:;)
Mate, I am bloody gutted at what's been happening recently. Am I happy? No. Do we need to sort it out. Definitely. But there state of this place is unreal and things that haven't yet transpired are being thrown about as done deals with people reacting ott before the fact. I'll f*ck off and lighten up now ?
