We were 2-0 up at Stamford Bridge, weren’t we? Tough to take that day. 

 

I caught Covid there as well. Not exactly my favourite game of the season.

Just Van Dijk and the entire first team midfield.

That period was bollocks....we took 2 pts from 3 games...were forced to field a midfield of Morton, Milner and Keita away at Tottenham...saw the cheats playing against virtual reserve teams (while they somehow bucked the trend of positive cases) and hand out good hidings.

 

For me the league was massively compromised during that period and without what happened we'd probably be looking at us winning title.

[3 Stacks 3,408]

The bottom line is that if you're forced to win something like 16 out of 17 games to be in with a chance, it's hard to complain if you don't do it. 

[LFC 6 Times 971]

Yes, that Christmas period was a complete an utter farce.

[Mil-ing Around 417]

We really could have done with Firmino yesterday. In a game where they are defending so deep with 5 across the box we needed abit of guile. He was showing decent form before this latest injury.

 

Either him or Divock was what we needed. Bit of strength or trickery so we could pass the ball into the box and have someone hold it for a second and draw their players towards the ball so we could pass it back out for a shot or cross.

 

There was just no spaces to dribble or beat a man last night. I felt Jota was the wrong sub, and he was really ineffective when he came on. We should have brought on Origi.

Yknow, I've been out and had a sunbathe, a swim, bit of lunch, and I've been thinking more about it.  I'm doubling down, he's a cunt for dragging this contract saga into the most important period of our season in years.  An absolute cunt. For me, he doesn't play Madrid unless he signs.  

 

Diaz to play right, Mane back to the left, and then one of Origi/Taki/Bobby to play the middle.  

 

Fuming.

Nah.

 

Klopp must have an opinion on it, and I bet it's closer to me than you.

Klopp signed a new contract and by all accounts he didn't ask for more money, he just extended his stay but he also insisted his backroom staff get raises and a new contract.

He's motivated by being part of a winning team.

Salah is out for himself, he has his own targets and desires, and they all seem motivated by him, not the team succeeding. 

He 'jokingly' said he would shoot more rather than assist, to make his 40 goal target.  That's uncomfortable to hear with the hindsight of his decision to not pass to Diaz yesterday. 

Always been this talk of him and Mane not being on great terms...I mean, how do you not be on great terms with Mane?  He gives loads of his money away to charity, always smiling, a top lad. 

 

The faces Salah pulls when he's subbed.  

 

I'm finding it all a bit disconcerting, to say the least. 

[Trojan1892 141]

He done me yesterday, greedy all fucking game.

Twice he could have put Diaz in but opted to shoot through 3/4 defenders, could have put Mane in as well who I bet feels like chinning him on times.

So if we win our last 3 games we will finish with 92 pts.

 

Let's just look at since when sky invented football in 1992.

 

92 pts would have been enough to win the Premier League in 22 of the first 24 seasons of and maybe 23 based on goal difference, but not enough to win in 5 of the last 6 seasons. Prior to 2017, 92 points would have been the joint-second highest total in history.

Since 2017, it's been exceeded in all but one season:

2017 - Chelsea (93 Pts)
2018 - Man City (100 Pts)
2019 - Man City (98 Pts)
2019 - Liverpool (97 Pts)
2020 - Liverpool (99 Pts)
2022 - Man City (95 Pts potentially)
2022 - Liverpool (92 Pts potentially)


Notice that of the three teams on that list, two are owned by oil money and are known financial cheats. One isn't.....

Well, I mean, you effectively just called him a cunt too because as far as I know his contact expires at the same time and he is yet to renew, and firmino I believe.
