Liverpool 2013-14

And City are after Suarez. Don't do it Luis.

What price would Suarez be? If Bale was £100m I reckon Suarez has to be a little more?

Chasing some PL records today with six games to go. From the BBC match preview:

Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge have a combined total of 49 goals this season - the only Premier League strike partnership to score more in a single season was Newcastle's partnership of Peter Beardsley and Andy Cole in 1993-94 (55).

Suarez has scored 29 goals this season and is now just two behind the Premier League record for a 38-game season held by Alan Shearer (1995-96) and Cristiano Ronaldo (2007-08).

So Suarez needs three goals in six games which seems possible.

Suarez and Sturridge need seven goals in six games which is a bit tougher.

I know it's been said before, but what makes this all the more impressive of course is that it won't actually have been a 38-game season for Suarez ;)

He must already have the highest goals per game ratio since the start of the EPL? So far 29 goals from 27 games. If he had managed a full season it could have been 40 goals this season.
 
Would you bring in Sahko to try and deal with Carroll? Not sure I'm that comfortable with Scary and Aggs having to deal with him.

Thought Brenda might do this..need someone strong in the air for this game. Hope he plays a blinder.
 
Yesssssssss!!!!! Back on top. City next. Will need Suarez and Sturridge to be on top goalscoring form though. Thank fuck for Gerrard's perfect penalties.

You lucky bastards.

Really? I thought Liverpool were the better side in a poor game. Ref had a bad one but both sides benefitted from his mistakes equally.

That said West Ham played well against a strong Liverpool side, a draw would not have been a surprise.
 
God that was tense. Thought the ref had a shocker - two bad decisions that both led to goals from each side. Evened each other out I suppose but I would've preferred it if he'd got them both right. Thought West Ham did well to frustrate us in midfield - I thought it was going to be a draw for a long time, too. Next weeks game against City could be the title decider. Unreal. :eek::D
 
I vaguely remember something Gerrard said when Liverpool went 2nd earlier in the season. It was in response to winning the title and was something like being a few points behind and 8 games to go is a place he would love to be.

There you are Mr Stevie G. At the top of your game in a top team, top of the league with 5 games to go.

Next week I shall watch it live.

Having watch Liverpool for nigh on 20 years, I've learned that you can't think too far ahead when things are going well. So instead you separate the season into section i.e, up to the end of September, up to the end of January and the up to the end of March.
This is the first time (in 'my' era) that Liverpool have been top of the league, winning games, and playing really, really well in that time.

So in short:

Fuck it, we're gonna win the league!
 
I still think City will do it tbh. I have suffered many false dawns. I was still at fucking college last time we won the league. :D

If we win next weekend then I might dare to start dreaming of believing in the off-chance of the possibility of it happening. I am, after all, an optimist.
 
To be honest, I'd take a draw against City and 3 points against Chelsea.

(and incidentally, I was 4 when we last won...)
 
I do hope that Everton will need three points to get to 4th spot come the end of the season. They are playing Man City.

Man City have 7 games in a month, 3 games of those are in 8 days, Liverpool, Sunderland and WBA. I'm fairly certain that even a loss to Man City may well not be the fatal blow people are making it out to be. Although I can't see Sunderland turning up after last night, they have nothing to play for bar pride and it doesn't sound like they have much of that.

they'd have to drop another 5 points, at least, more likely 6 given their goal difference. Can't really see that happening.

Yep. If we lose on Sunday I'm fairly certain we'll be playing for just 2nd or 3rd place. Either of which will be fantastic compared to where we were at last season. A draw though would still leave the title challenge wide open. And if we win...:)

If I'm honest if we miss out on the league I'll be gutted..it's been a long time.

However, assuming we keep our current squad and add a couple of "top top" players - it will give the the team something to aim for next year as well as a good showing in the champions league.
 
hadn't noticed before that the wonderful John Achterberg was now the first team goal-keeping trainer. Top choice, with his illustrious career at the finest team on Merseyside.
