Title Race 18/19

[McDermotX]

I'd be surprised if Milner didn't get some as well......Right from the opening few minutes, Klopp wasn't happy with him crossing (even less so, with his **** crossing).

Nowt more than what happens most weekends in every club, but there's a narrative to push with regard to pressure and the title run-in.

Matip is doing rather well though, for me he is moving ahead of Lovren, too bad they rotate automatically due to to injuries.

Well.....He's able to stand up and be picked right now, so he's that going for him, but I do wonder what would happen during a prolonged period without VVD beside him telling him what to do.

Those little knockabouts with Alisson are not for the feinthearted. Just needs too much time to have the ball under control for me......Though I do like his little steps into midfield every now and then.

Good teams bounce back from disappointments.

We will learn a lot from the team against Watford tomorrow night.

For me, we can look too much into the likes of specific games. People point to Everton away, Spurs at home or Chelsea at home. In reality, we get 3 points for every ****in game. We dropped 4 against Leicester and West Ham. City dropped 6 against Palace and Leicester.

We have 11 cup finals left. We need to win the ****in lot of them

Not just the players fault though is it, the starting 11 was dodgy but most importantly bringing Sturridge on was a major ****-up and effectively killed any chance we had of winning.

Its definitely two points dropped but if its taken as the kick up the arse our players have needed and we rediscover our mojo and start smashing teams then it might have been just about worth it.

If...

It goes without saying, but we have to at least match City over the last 11 games.

The pessimist in me doesn't see them dropping any more than 4 points, maybe 5.

Can we match that? If so, we'll need to rediscover how to break down those teams who don't allow us to press, and very quickly. Or hope that everyone decides to come at us like Bournemouth

They might drop 2 points......or even none.

We just need to worry about ourselves and take it one game at a time. Watford tomorrow is our only ****in game now. Worry about the blue **** after that.

I know, they're certainly capable of such a run. I'm looking at 4-5 points as probably a best case scenario.

I think we need them to **** up at least a couple of times, as I can't see us being flawless ourselves in our current form.

But yes, it's one game at a time and go to win each one.

[Exiled_red]

I don't just think it's a case of how many points are dropped, I think that it's a case of when they are dropped. We are not just in a battle with City, there is the psychological battle with ourselves and them. If we drop points and fall behind them soon we could struggle to keep going, whereas it could give them a boost. I think we can only afford to drop points after they have

Atkinson doing the derby is sickening, Klopp should have kicked off so bad after Leicester that he stopped getting our games, he basically screwed us then 4 days later let Aguero score a handball goal. Hopefully that was just an off day but the way about 10 horrific match changing decisions all went against us in that Leicester game was very suspicious.

[frank the tank]

Atkinson is a cunt.

[BobTheCharmer]

Least we have an excuse if we don't win.

We should go back to last season's 4-3-3 and just smack teams around. We have a world class defender and keeper now so let's do it.

We’ve been playing 4-3-3 for the last 4 games.
