The Realist Vs the Defiants.....

[rargh]

Let's just get at them from the start and see what happens.

[Dougie Do'ins]

I cant see it TBH. People are making to much of the fact they conceded three against Bolton.

 

I don't expect us to come flying out the blocks at them trying to get an early goal, otherwise Chelsea will have a field day hitting us on the break.

 

I think we will just go out and play some patient probing football trying to feed Nando whilst not exerting to much energy. Chelsea will be happy to let us play like this.

 

I think our eyes are fixed on the league title and that's why I feel we'll play at a slower tempo.

 

I'm worried about the score of the tie over two legs becoming a bit of a rout TBH.

[Dirk]

I think we will go to smash them like we did against Madrid at home. It's harder to do away but I think it's the only way we know how to stun teams.

[Code]

If we go through it will be on penalties, I`m pretty sure we wont win 3-0 or 4-2 after 90 minutes but 3-1 is doable.

 

Like others have said, the fact Bolton scored 3 and easily could have got another one as well have lifted my spirit ahead of this match now.

[philyhamann]

only total shit hosues go for the bottom option

[George Costanza]

Don't think we've got a chance personally. Hiddink will set his stall out to make it as dull and uneventful as possible. Just Like Rafa would.

[Strontium]

Dour and frustrating 0-0 for 80 minutes, then someone like Kalou will score. 4-1 on aggregate. You saw it here first.

[shea mc]

were better than the chavs. Fuck it were going to win 5-1.

[Catch22]

It always surprises me how much emotional swing there is on this board.

 

When we were drawing games in Jan/Feb some people wrote that we might not even finish top 4 which was always impossible.

 

Now we are getting good results & the pendulum has swung the other way.

Our PL title hopes are being over-stated (the Mancs have to drop points in 2 games. They only play 1 decent team, who will probably rest players & the rest of the League is shit) but at least that is a chance that is being exagerated.

 

Here we have absoltely no chance at all.

 

The Chavs are at home, with an excellent set of players & our big advantage in these games in '05-07 is now in Milan unfortunately.

I agree there is very little chance, but how did you survive Istanbul (or any other other against the odds moments that this club makes a habit of)? I am surprised you haven't had a myocardial infarction.

 

There's always a chance.

Haha, Good point

 

Yes clearly we have a chance greater than 0.

 

Istanbul we were over 300/1 which was probably about right

 

Here we are 13/1 which is an obvious sell whilst we are posting about it as if it is the opposite.

[Section_31]

I'm on the fence here. My head tells me we can't do it, but with Liverpool Football Club you just never fucking know, that's what makes us great.

[King Emlyn]

A shithouse is somebody that gives up, somebody that doesn't even try, that concedes before hand. The middle option is for the shithouse. To try and to fail is, at least, commendable, to resign without trying is the act of a shithouse

[Brownie]

I've gone for the bottom option.

 

I'd be very surprised if we pulled it off but fuck it, we're Liverpool and this is exactly the type of thing we are famous for.

 

Just think how rewarding it would feel to wake up on the 20th anniversary of our biggest low, with arguably one of our biggest ever highs just hours in the memory. I don't usually go for all this, 'do it for the fans' malarkey, but we should be doing it for the 96.

 

Fucking come on redmen!

[ratcatcher]

You're a loon and I claim my prize! :whistle:

 

Its the middle option which says more about people's support than the other two.

[Brownie]

Why do people on here like to psycho-analyse people's views and try to question their support if they have a different outlook on things?

 

Whoever goes for the middle option has every right to if that's what they are thinking. Deep down if you feel as though we have no chance but then vote for the top option then that's much worse than just being honest and saying we don't have a prayer, IMO.

 

It's not a competition, supporting Liverpool.

I didn't psychoanalyse anybody's views but seeing as your post alludes to metacognition, thinking something doesn't equate to that thought being a) objectively correct and b) it doesn't mean that that thought is necessarily conducive with succcess. I think not therefore I will not. It's not about supporting Liverpool the most, it's about trying to harvest the healthiest attitude. My reply was a direct response to Phily who called people shithouses for voting for the bottom option.

I wasn't directing my post at you, I was agreeing with you.

[grazywalker]

Agreed but I had to answer honestly and as much as my heart wanted to go for option one I had to go with the shithouse option .

[rargh]

How can option 3 be the coward's choice? Option 3 is PYAR charge of the light brigade!

[Lucky Pierre]

Right. Remember me when you read this score at Full Time. 3-1 after 90 mins. 5-2 AET. Torres Hat-trick. Don' judge me now. just remember in 36 hours when you've stopped bouncing off the ceiling.

[Special K]

It can be done.

 

It will be done.

......the point to this thread.

 

People tend to think its over.

 

Its not.

 

90 minutes to score three goals can be done. Alot of teams have done it before, the differences are the venue and the opposition.

 

I do not fear Chelsea, and I am sure our lads and Rafa dont either.

 

I choose the top option as I honetly think that if Liverpool bring their "A" game, we will go through.

 

4-1 to Liverpool after normal time.
