As much as I hate West Ham, they have given me two of my favourite football memories. Absolutely loved them getting relegated

Chasing the Title, The Pack Chasing Us

Yesterday AM

This is where it pays to have a manager like Klopp. He's been there & done it before. And he's a charismatic manager. It's up to him to settle the boys down & stick to what we've been doing best for the most part of the season


But we didn't lose to Leicester. The only team we've lost to all season is City.
This is what happens when you start believing the media shite. Agendas that are brainwashing the fanbase into believing this is an impossible task.
Those words from Jurgen way back in October 2015, that we needed to take the heavy backpack off that has been holding us back for so long. That we needed to become believers before we can succeed, that to remain doubters is taking the cowards away out, (ok he didn't say that but it's how it feels).
It's too fucking easy to think we won't be successful, that we cant win, it takes no effort whatsoever to give up without a fight or with a whimper.
That's what everyone else is telling us
and some of you have decided to go along with it.
Well I'm with Jurgen every day of the fucking week.
Rant over!!

A week is too long for most social media’s collective consciousness. This time next week, we could be 7 points clear and City’s exhaustion will be the game changer again.

Some advice for people who can't handle the race:

We gained a point on City in the previous match day. Even if City gain a point or two against us on a match-day, that's not the be-all and end-all because you're looking at one match day only. If you look at a two match context it could be like this:

Week 1: City reduce gap by 2 points
Week 2: Liverpool win and City lose
Total affect after 2 weeks: Liverpool increase gap by 1 point = 6 point lead.

So, no fret. You got to look at the bigger picture. Sometimes that gap is going to get smaller before it grows again... just look at how Spurs are now down to 7 and sometimes it goes back to 9. There's no reason to panic either way. I'd even be optimistic if it was City who had a 4 point lead on us, cos there's a long way to go.

Isn't it amazing that it's us with the lead? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh.



I'm not sure what all this talk of man city's run-in being easy came from.

Crystal Palace
Tottenham
Burnley
Leicester
Brighton

I know that if we had that type of run-in I'd be concerned. Tottenham will tough enough. But it's the other four that should concern them. They are exactly the type of teams that raise their game against the big teams regardless of their league position or even if they've been relegated.

Crystal Palace, Burnley and Brighton all away and Leicester home, throw in possible CL semi final games. If man city aren't at least 7 or 8 points clear going into their last 5 games they're going to fuck it up.

There's a good chance everyone of those teams will be on the beach by the time those games come around. They're exactly the kind of games you want in a run in.


How about we smash the doom and gloom worth a cracking win. Fucking hope it happens so it gives the more nervous among us the chance to gather their nerves. Up the fucking Reds!

The Hammers are certainly shitting it on Twitter haha

We're gonna fuck up can feel it. Leicester game showed pressure was on us and we didn't find a way to win.

I feel it in my fingers, toes and waters. This week fans could very well have the biggest meltdown seen in history.

I agree. A win would feel massive tonight in terms of having people shut the fuck up. A draw, with the possibility city go top again before we next play, and RIP RAWK servers GBNF.

I hope this doesn't come across as defeatist...

With Gomez confirmed as being out long term, I have really grave concerns about our capacity to get through this title run-in with a stable back four. Lovren and Matip have consistently picked up various injuries throughout their time at LFC, so we can't be surprised if they keep doing that over this next period. Given that keeping clean sheets and grinding out results is what has got us this far, I do worry that we'll find it hard to keep up the results that we've been getting up until now.

I know it was cold, but the experience of the Anfield crowd on Wednesday night has made me pretty pessimistic about how everyone will react inside the ground once the going gets tough. I'm not even blaming people or pointing the finger. It's been 29 years for fuck's sake, we're all desperate. Even so, you had people coming out of the match on Wednesday calling Klopp a 'bottler' and so on, and all of those sorts of supporter are going to make it harder for the team in tricky home games, not easier.

If City do pip us this season, it's important for us to react in the right way. We're gonna get 90 points or more. That's the best return from a 38 game season in the history of the club. We got 75 last season and confirmed 4th on the last day, so it's huge progress, regardless of how many City get. We have to look at the positives.

Moreover, all of our key players apart from Milner can expect to be as good if not better next season. Gini and Hendo are 28, everyone else is only just coming into their best years. We'll have Oxlade-Chamberlain and Gomez back, and Keita (hopefully) and Fabinho (definitely) will go into the start of the season as settled players. City meanwhile have Aguero, Kompany, Fernandinho and Silva all getting on a bit. They might not all manage to put in another full season at the top of their game.

If we do get across the line this season, I'm pretty convinced we'll retain it next year, but it feels like a big 'if' for me at the moment.

In 1992, Utd were 5 points clear on the 16th of April with a game in hand. They only had 5 games remaining, but they lost 3 and drew 1 of them. In other words, they 'bottled' it. It was 'theirs to lose' and they 'threw it away'. That made it 25 years without a title for them, and they and everyone else must surely have thought they'd never get a better chance to end the wait. Sadly for us, it turned out that they weren't a team of 'legends' after all, and they won the title in 8 of the next 11 seasons.

It is absolutely superb that we are doing what we're doing this season. Regardless of how it pans out in this run-in, we're moving in the right direction under this manager and owners. Whether it's to be this season or some time soon during Klopp's contract, we won't have to wait much longer, and we should be enjoying this ride.



Back to 5pts clear tonight. I worry for West Ham, can see us getting 4 or 5.


Jesus this thread is gone to shit altogether. City were always beating Arsenal, Arsenal hadn't a hope away from home. January is over, typically our worst month under Klopp. We will win tonight and Stretch it to 5. City will win Wednesday too so strap yere selves in. There's a long way to go yet.

I expect man city to score 8 or 9 past everton in their next game with both everton fans and players applauding every goal scored against them.
You can never trust everton.

Yesterday 10:30 pm onwards

Ah, nice, brilliant. Was waiting for this to happen. With Everton rolling over, Man City will take the lead with a game extra and the pressure is going to go back on them. At this moment in time we need some new momentum taking us forward cos a few things went against us to place us on the backfoot:

- poor pitch v Leicester
- penalty not given
- a number of wrong offside calls v West Ham
- injuries at the back and now midfield too
- players sort of midseason breaky results in a sort of take-2 and some players yet to rediscover their rhythm after the holiday

Despite this and many more factors, if we could've just nicked a goal at the end v West Ham, that could've been our tonic... but the pendulum is swinging Man City's way now... and I don't mind it... it will swing our way again... and that's when we pounce and got to ride with it.

Most of all we need to solve some glaring issues as follows:

- Firmino needs to stop overplaying his options, many times the simple pass will get someone through but he messes it up.
- We need to stop predictably pushing the ball wide and then hoping for a cross to make the goal. We're overdoing that.



Yep, feels shit tonight, even worse than shit in fact and some aspects of the performance were worrying but we are in the most amazing position still. In August I'd have ripped an arm off for 6 behind at this stage then give it a right go, obviously that doesn't make losing a 7 point lead any less disappointing but we are still in such a great place, it was never sustainable to keep beating everyone outside the top 6 and we were never just going to stroll to the title with 104 points or whatever.

Bournemouth are beyond pathetic away from home and don't have it in them to do a Leicester so hopefully we are back to winning ways on the weekend then who knows on Sunday, Spurs and City have tough games.


I'd say a good 70-80% of opposition fans don't want us to win it from talking to the supporters of other clubs and reading their forums. Maybe it's because of certain incidents in our recent past that has them hating us. Maybe it's because we used to win everything in the 70's and 80's. But that's just how it is. City have been an irrelevance throughout their whole history and have only just become good during this past decade. Other clubs and fans just comfort themselves that City have an infinite amount of money and can buy their way to success so they just don't care to compete with them or even care what they do. As for the officials and media, maybe you have a point. The media lives for clickbait and the officials are just mediocre. As for other teams turning up against us, I believe that too. We're the leaders. Every team and their dog wants to get stuck in and mess us up.

The majority of my family that are mainly Spurs, Arsenal and random teams fans (Watford, Leyton Orient, West Ham) don't want us to win it if their team doesn't. My other half doesn't want us to win it and thats from a person who supports Reading.

Its probably me. I bring out the worst in people.

Why are people so arsed what other fans want? They didn’t want us to win 5 European Cups either.
I honestly find it fascinating that Liverpool fans care what other fans want or don’t want for us.
It doesn’t matter. It’s about as important as where Jay Spearing plays now. Stop worrying about them, stop expending energy on them.
Ignore them. Remind them of their total unimportance. Fuck them and their mediocrity.



The cheek of Man Utd fans to be complaining about officiating and offside goals.


I don't know, but it just feels inconceivable that both Leicester and West Ham have looked our equals in terms of fitness despite the fact that we had 11 days off after Palace and went to that Dubai camp for some warm weather training. West Ham even had to go to Wimbledon and scrap it out there in the FA Cup and still didn't look any more fatigued than we did. Tottenham may have gone out of the cups but they still had the two extra matches whilst we had none and are continuing to do just enough to get over the line in the league. Virgil came back with a virus, we've been picking up lots of injuries in training and it just seems to have hindered us more than help us. It seems as if we've grossly mismanaged the whole situation.


That's what happens when you judge games based on 2 results though. What about in 5 or 10 games? Who's looking knackered then. City, the destroyers of the Universe, were only 3 points better off than us this time last year. Where has the perspective gone.

By Thursday, we’ll be second on GD. Expecting to see our performances improve as soon as it happens. We’ve not coped with being top the last few weeks, but we’re a lot better than the last two performances and we know it.


Folks, This is the difficult moment and the team need our full support. The fan has always been our 12 men and it is Liverpool's biggest advantage. We are no Emptihad, we are Anfield.


Did it really help us that much last season though? We were running on fumes near the end and had numerous injury problems that ultimately cost us in the end. We did finish ahead of Chelsea in 4th but I remember some underwhelming draws in there as we had prioritized the CL. These Dubai trips just seem to be of no benefit either in the sort run or the long run.

Wonder how the Bayern tie will affect us in the league. On the face of it, slugging it out twice with one of the best teams in the world is maybe not ideal, but then on the flip side, winning that tie would be a massive boost in confidence and could put some extra wind in our sails.

Meh, this is gonna be fucking close...

Close? We have to play 13 more games, that's 39 points. Everything could happen. If we continue with this bad form, we will find ourselves in a situation fighting for the top4.


Let people talk City up. Spurs even. Perhaps it'll help us in the long run.


It wasn’t as though Leicester or West Ham played that well in my opinion. They were both alright but nothing more. We were ultimately poor but got two points. City got beat from Palace and Leicester after taking lead.
