It's getting interesting

[G]

Totally agree. I assume it must've been our decision to not play the game tonight?

Bloody annoying.

Yeah I thought it must've been due to our opponents playing a Uefa cup game or something but then I realised its West ham were due to play.Dosen't make sense.We'll stuff them whenever we play them anyway

I said this at the weekend and it was pointed out that we couldn't as Everton were playing.

We couldve played them last night

[Craig_H]

Went to Morrisons, bought a nice Pepperoni and a Spicy Beef pizza, came home, bunged them in the oven, then realised I have to fast tonight because I've got a blood test in the morning

We couldve played them last night

So only 1 day between games, Rafa and the eam would want to avoid that, they will have enough of it over christmas.

I'm confident Shaggy. And I've been saying it for while now, along with Coops amongst others, even when we dropped silly points earler when everyone was going mental.

I agree it would have been better not to drop the point obviousle but all teams will have bad times and I believe we've had ours and still stayed with it.

[Fivex]

if you'd told me start of season we'd have conceeded 2 away goals AND still be undefeated AND be only 7 points off top with game in hand AND still in all 4 competitions in december then i'd have bit ur cock off to accept that.

sometimes people need this sort of thing spelled out to them.

[sonsofthedesert]

Idiots on sky sports phone in just saying we don't have a chance as we have drawn to many games. Idiots, fail to see if we win our game in hand we are second.

[Joe King]

I agree Shaggy. It is a must win and as genuine title contenders we should be treating each game as a cup final- no going back and we need to get a result by all means necessary. I would like to see us win the title in a pretty manner or an efficient manner- I'm not fussy

We will be saying this is a must win game now until the end of the season.

I do like Kewell, dont get me wrong.

I just see a few people acting as if he's in the same league as torres and gerrard, when it comes to being an impact player - he really isnt in the same ballpark.

I tend to see what your saying here...

He'll never reach the heights he reached at Leeds, but he's an experienced player - even though the injuries have crippled his BEST football years spent mostly off the pitch, and he carries the 'nous' and temperamant out perfectly in many ways. He is no stranger to the occasional shocker and one would question his almost 'eager readiness' to want to play (in the past few years) when Liverpool have reached a final or are on their way there... after yet another lengthy injury.

If he gets injured again this season then it's time to cut our losses and sell. He really has to pull out all the stops this season if he wants Rafa and his EMPLOYERS to give him another year, or two, contract. They'll be spending in the summer if need be.

Right now I am impressed by his comeback so far and feel he can only get better after his 'in fairly good knick' form since being drafted back in.
I don't slate him, I always support him in the red shirt but I still feel hard done by, by not witnessing the Harry Kewell we bought from Leeds playing like that for Liverpool.

People often say that those teams that are involved in the relegation dogfight who play each other at the end of a season are playing in 6 pointer matches.

Our game against Utd is a 6 pointer imo, it's imperative we win this game. We can't keep losing points against these pricks home and away each season it's not good enough.

Think of the pshycological edge we'll have over Utd if we beat them, I believe we can go to Arsenal and Chelsea this year and win, going to Old Trafford I'm not so confident about as we never seem to perform there, we need to ****ing snap out of it. We turn into a team of fannys when we play at Utd and it's time for the lads to step it up now.

[desertscouser]

If we beat Reading and United, then I'll really start to believe we can do it. There's no doubt about it, we've got the bit between our teeth right now and out of all teams I would say we're the most confident going into the next run of games. As long as our top players stay fit and start then we have a very very good chance of being top come January 1st.

I just hope Rafa doesn't do something insane and start with the likes of Kuyt, Voronin and Momo against Reading because that would be pure suicide.

Talking about confidence, what worries me is this Marseille game on the horizon, and the possible consequences of not beating them and not going through. Shouldn't be thinking in those terms admittedly as we have everything in our locker to go there and beat them, but right now that looks to be a huge game which could have massive implications for our season.

[Iceman]

I can't understand why the Arse played their game in hand tonight and we didn't,especially as it appears the game still hasn't been given a new date.We're on fire at the moment so it'd been ideal to play West Ham now,then Reading,2 home games in a row.

Police resources is the answer

Monday night The Royal Variety Club Performance.......... at the Empire

Tonight the Blue****e were playing at home in the Uefa cup

both involved massive extra policing.............. so I suppose the police wanted last night (tuesday) off


I suppose the West Ham game will be rescheduled once we know our fate in the various cup competitions

(Oh and the Reading game is away)

Same here mate, I'm not too confident about the game tbh, we don't particulary deserve to go through through at the end of the day, apart from demolishing Besiktas we've been very poor in CL this year.

I just hope that we can beat them at the end of the day, we're playing very well at the moment but it will be a very difficult game that. Like you said, just worried that it may affect the players confidence for the rest of the season.

It's still baffled me as to why we've been so ****e in the CL this year, maybe we've been a bit too confident thinking we can just breeze through as we've been in the final for the last 2 out of 3 years which is a very poor attitude to take going in to matches. It's even harder to take considering how well we're playing at the moment....strange!
