Other Games 23/34/25

[RedReet]

I want us to win every game, but the fact is there are some games that it's important not to lose, I have never cheered us getting a draw like that but I have come out of some games relieved that we didn't lose.

I think that was a game that Arsenal thought they would probably lose and a defeat would have left them 3 points behind us and 2 behind City, it wouldn't be an impossible situation for them but it would be difficult as they would have been relying on 2 teams slipping up.

That point keeps them ahead of City, they only have to match City's results to stay ahead of them, while their GD advantage over us, means that if we draw and they win one week they will move ahead on GD. I suspect that the feeling in the Arsenal camp is that City are capable of winning all of their 9 remaining games, but that they don't think we are. Obviously we need to prove them wrong.

I’d settle for a draw, but I think we’ve always gone into games with City looking and playing to win - Klopp knows no other way. I’d defo never be cheering and whooping about a 0-0 given there was also a drop down the table.

I don't disagree, but sometimes fans have a certain arrogance (or ignorance) when it comes to laughing at other teams. There was definitely a match recently that reminded me of the WBA mocking, when other fans thought it was hilarious Klopp was celebrating a draw, missing the much bigger picture of that result. Nobody outside of Liverpool will ever remember that match now or ever think it contributed to any of our success, but internally many people do. Likewise, if Arsenal do go one to win the league this year (they won't!), I imagine certain players and fans will have felt this was one of the defining results.

It was an excellent result for Arsenal and regardless of entertainment, one the should more than happy with.

I’m full on tribal right now. I’m not looking for any sort of balanced/reasonable debate on this FFS

Arsenal fans are pricks, and they’d celebrate a decent catch from the ball boy at this point.



Klopp gives the fist bumps but our lot look mega focused.

This I can't disagree with.

TBF most of us would take a draw away to City of it kept us above them. If our own fans don't think we're good enough to win the league, surely Arsenal fans will be thinking the same, finish above City and the league is yours.

I'd be the same in their shoes if roles were reversed, confident we could overtake them in the final 9 games.

Arsenal taking a point and maintaining the upper hand over City. I think it patronises us though, hopefully at their peril

[Norbs]

He's not. But it isn't restricted to this year. The 2013/14 year where Sterling was still a Liverpool players and adjudged offside and his non-red card where two decisions that helped im to two league winners medals.
He only speaks out now because he is on the wrong end of it

managers etc need to be unified on it- no point complaining when your team suffers from it, and talking about how these things even themselves out and that we need to respect refs (yes that’s aimed at you, Ange) when it’s a diff team.

The refereeing standards, and especially var has gone down the toilet this season. If they all sang from the same hymn sheet, there would be a chance that it would get improved.

Yeah, until the clubs actually unite on the standards we're seeing nothing will change it's not a tribal thing, it's just poor standards and something that as a collective they should be demanding are improved.

problem is always that its always in the moment and one club benefits and the other suffers so the team getting the rub doesn't want to call it out, that needs to change but struggle to see that happening .

That was the start of Arsenal bottling it. Happy to take the point when they really needed the win. That point will not be enough for them. It represented the wrong mentality and that is not what wins you titles.

[dom9]

I don't think so.

They parked the bus.

Seems to me that they played not to lose, rather than going for the win.

[Charly]

They obviously thought we will drop more point than them. Big gamble. probably didnt fancy their chances in an open game with City

[ChesterDave]

Forest leading at home v Fulham. Good three points especially if Newcastle beat Everton

[ChesterDave]

Newcastle beating Everton

[red g]

I really rate thata Isak, Surprised he isn't linked with bigger clubs.

[peterbread]

Fulham about to make a triple change after 30 minutes

[dom9]

I really rate thata Isak, Surprised he isn't linked with bigger clubs.

Linked with Arsenal and Chelsea I think.

I wouldn't be surprised if he moves in the summer to fund other reinforcements at Newcastle.

Yeh I imagine of they need to sell to buy for FFP imagine him and Guimares won;t be far off 150m
