Premier League 20/21 Game 24: Leicester v Liverpool Match Thread (Plus Pre and Post)

[S-RED]

I'm just hoping we have had all our bad luck with injuries for a few seasons now so should largely be clear for a while after this. Or at least that is what I am telling myself to get through this

i am banking on this too, but watch the summer tournaments across the globe scupper that ...

Leicester lost Justin for the rest of the season after he suffered ligament damage on Wednesday night

Won't be watching, have better things to do.

Stop caring lads, it's quite liberating and your families will appreciate it

My advice isn't for everyone chap. Some will benefit, some will scoff, no odds to me.

First sign of adversity and you've thrown the towel in

Still hope you enjoyed the last few seasons. They've been excellent.

45 years old, born in Liverpool, lived in Fazakerley, seen lots of adversity. A global pandemic, with all the associated problems that brings for individuals and families, gives a sense of perspective of how some may choose to spend their time.

Everyone is different chap

Tough times mate . We've all got to concentrate on what gives us a bit of peace these days.

Absolutely friend. We all have different needs and priorities, they aren't set in stone and can change at any time. I do what I need to do, others do the same. Good will and good health to all, YNWA

****ing hell. My first dip into the football Forum for a month or so and people are shamed for not watching a game on TV?

As you were.

Bye.

[ChesterDave]

It does come across as can't be bothered to care or watch because we are not in good form rather than I'm quite busy tomorrow so won't be able to watch the game.

Its obviously going to attract a response.

I'm not shamed, merely choosing to not watch this game. As Klopp said, it's the most important thing of the least important things. The key is to re evaluate what the most important things are.

Its a self management approach to one's mental health and well being.

Its a positive thing for the individual and their family whilst not being a negative to the club or other fans. Again, it's not for everyone.

It's an interesting one. I'm a notch older that you (not by much mind) so have a good longevity in my support, in that I've seen us win a lot. I saw us rise, fall, rise again, win everything in sight for ages, then fall again. I had the news that Dalglish resigned from a united supporter, who'd walked around my house to tell me in the morning because mobile phones that weren't the size of a toaster didn't exist and my tv didn't get teletext. I had to confirm it by going to the newsagent and buying a paper. On a hangover. The back page of the mirror broke my heart.

In the years during our fall I found a method based on what half my family still have - I call it the Everton way. When you've got a match coming up you expect to **** it up somehow. When you are in for a really top transfer you know you're going to buy a Voronin or a Ferri instead. And you know that anyone you get who is given the nickname "the new" followed by a famous player's name is going to be an absolute bag of ****e. When someone says "who are you playing this weekend" you reply "we're getting beat by Coventry". Or somesuch. And all cup games against **** clubs give you the squits.

At the end of the day it gives you a management technigue to deal with your inevitable failures. It puts your expectation in context and avoids letting your football life bleeding massively into your personal one.

Our recent success has put a real challenge to techniques such as this. But the way I see it is, no-one is guaranteed success, what goes around comes around, and if Leicester can win it and Brentford come up, it will all be ok eventually. I may get upset short term, but I can compartamentalise each defeat shortly after. That works for me. It means I can still get the high from when we win but minimise the low afterwards. Even if I get a time limited cob on when people personally attack our players.

Pace.

To be honest, I doing nothing while the game is on but I'm undecided if I want to watch or not because it's a bit **** at the moment.

Let's face it, the players are doing their job and are being well paid for it but as an interest/hobby it's not cutting it
