Liverpool 2013-14

Yep, I'm not going to 'like' that as it'd be nasty but I totally agree. I'm used to Man U having at least 15 minutes of attacking frenzy at the end not look like a team dead on their feet. I'm glad he didn't, obviously, but why the fuck didn't he bring Welbeck on when it was all going so wrong?

Aye.

I'm going to eat all the skin off the chicken before he gets home from the match. That'll show him who's boss!
 
I really think the title is beyond us this season but top 4 yes.

Few new solid players and next season, who knows?
 
Our last nine matches. Four winnable away matches and five juicy home ties. Interesting.

22 March: Cardiff (away)
26 March: Sunderland (home)
30 March: Tottenham (home)
6 April: West Ham (away)
13 April: Man City (home)
20 April: Norwich (away)
27 April: Chelsea (home)
3 May: Crystal Palace (away)
10 May: Newcastle (home)
 
I just watched the Manu game and Liverpool looked very solid at the back. Primarily because Man U were woeful. Didn't quite have the cutting edge going forward , but let's not forget that ManU's defence is probably their strongest card. Vidic was great but just one guy.

Moyes said Liverpool were favourite! What a dick, you'd think if there was one person to get behind the team it'd be the manager. If he got sent off would he go up and sit with the away supporters.

Nice to see Lucas.

We have to play City and Chelsea too, it's in our hands.
 
Trying to make sense of the potential Europa Cup qualification outcomes for next year :confused:

Is we assume that things stayed as they are and Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool (perhaps not in this order) get the Champion league places then there are 4 ways for other teams to get into the Europa League I think:
  1. Football League Cup winners will enter at the Q3 stage
  2. FA Cup winners will enter at the Europa League Group Stage
  3. Fifth place Premier League team will enter at the Play-Off stage
  4. Fair Play winners enter at the Qualifying round 1 stage (as below)
As Manchester City have won the League Cup I think it means that the 6th place PL team will also go into the Europa Cup.
If Arsenal won the FA Cup then the runners up (Wigan Athletic, Hull City or Sheffield Utd) will then go into the Europa Cup.

Assuming (again) that things stayed as they are then it looks like Tottenham and Everton unless Manchester Utd and Southampton catch up in the remain quarter of the PL season.

Fair Play winners enter at the Qualifying round 1 stage.
This place will automatically go the three best-placed national associations in the UEFA Respect fair play rankings provided they achieve an average of 8.0 points or more. The top three associations will then be entitled to enter the club that has either won their domestic top-division fair play competition, or if they are already qualified, the runners-up and so forth.

Current Fair Play League:
  1. Liverpool 8.69
  2. Arsenal 8.6
  3. Tottenham Hotspur 8.5
  4. Manchester City 8.43
  5. Everton 8.43
  6. Crystal Palace 8.39
  7. Chelsea 8.33
  8. Swansea City 8.32
  9. Fulham 8.3
  10. Norwich City 8.23
Manchester Utd are 16th in the Fair Play League so slim chance of them making it to Europe this way, but Tottenham Hotspur and Everton are up there.
 
Just had check and Jose Enrique is still fucked, was hoping he'd get back by now. He'd be like a new signing.

Where would we be without Stevie?
 
Cardiff have scored 23 league goals this season.

Liverpool scored 23 in their last 7 games.
Suarez has 25 goals on his own.
Liverpool unbeaten in last 5 away games.
Liverpool scored most away (34) goals this season.

Since Liverpool last lost a league match, they have the best form in the league. Cardiff have the worst form in the premier league for the same period.

Liverpool are gonna lose aren't they :facepalm:

I was happy with 5-2, not so much with 5-3, but 6-3 will do. And then there were three teams challenging for the Premier League title. Can we possibly beat City and then Chelsea at home. And win all the other matches in between. Leaking goals like that makes me think not. But then seeing our attack force scoring so many great goals makes me think, well, why not? But we're definitely going to have to win every one of our last eight games to do it. A huge challenge, a mountain and a half to climb.

Come on you Reds!!!

:D

It sounded like it for a bit in the first half when we went behind twice. 5Live were slating our defence - I'll have to wait to watch MOTD but I think with good reason. But as goldenecitrone says, when we've got the firepower to score six you never know. The games against City and Chelsea look like they'll be the deciders.

Tbh, I'll still be happy with top 4. I think it's still in Man City and Chelsea's hands. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't beginning to dream a bit. :D
 
Seen as Arsenal are probably out of it after today's embarrassment you lot or Citeh for the title please,couldn't bear the sycophantic media asskissing of Moroniho if Chelsea win it.....

What a game, I though we had bottled it half way through the first half. What a second half! When we look dangerous we are fucking like a knife through butter!
 
That last goal, Sterling was pissed off, was he watching the game he was playing in?

Like Suarez was ever going to pass from there?

Unless something crazy happens, its Chelsea, Man City and Liverpool fighting it out for 1,2,3. The CL is pretty much assured and becoming a minor issue. If we don't win it, second would be a nice prize. No CL qualification.

If I'm getting over excited then I'd say that if we beat Chelsea and Citeh at Anfield, as well as taking wins in other the other games.

BUT, if I'm being a realist, it's cliche but if you had told me that at the end of the season liverpool would finish 3rd behind Manchester City and Chelsea, whilst Man U would barely sneak into the Europa Cup, I would have taken it.
 
Its the Manchester derby today.

Win or Draw for ManU? Part of me says I should want a draw but I am torn...a win would be giving us three points before Man City make the trip to Anfield.

First tester for City in the run-in. They have to win this to have a good chance of winning the title, I reckon. So a draw will have to do for us. Can't see Utd winning.

Yeah, if Man City are on any kind of form, hammering Man U is way way more likely than losing, so a draw is probably the best we can hope for right now. And the crazy odds of 6/5 for an away win, back that up. 12/5 for a home draw!
