Have you ever been certain on winning a football match?

[Antynwa]

I don't think I've ever been so convinced at any time following Liverpool that we would win a football game.

 

We're going to be right up for this one and we're going to play them off the park.

 

Anyone else remember when they felt so certain of a victory...and what was the outcome?

[Guest TK-421]

When Rafa was in charge. E.g 1-5 at Newcastle. Wasn't sure of anything under Roy.

[James Dean]

Jinx. We'll lose now.

[Kopite]

Champions League 2005. I was mocked at work when he got Chelsea in the semi-final and siad we'd win.

 

Our name was on "ole big ears" that year, I knew after we beat Olympiakos.

[Kopite]

When Rafa was in charge. E.g 1-5 at Newcastle. Wasn't sure of anything under Roy.

 

I was. "Thirty five years of management". Except management in his book equates to mediocrity.

[PaulMcC]

2005 CL semi final.

 

Basically most massive European games when we had Rafa.

Mis-management more like.

[Captain]

I'll assume this is about games against top teams, not beating cannon fodder at Anfield.

 

An away game at OT 3-4 years ago when we'd played some brilliant football going into the game.

 

We got our arses handed to us.

 

As for Chelsea tomorrow, I think we'll lose.

[Royal Family]

I'm convinced that Torres will score at least two tomorrow, including within the first ten minutes. Bad vibe.

[Guest PurpleNose]

2005 CL semi final.

 

Basically most massive European games when we had Rafa.

 

This one.

 

Just had complete faith in the manager to find a way to win.

 

Similarly to now, in all fairness.

Wimbledon in the FA Cup Final.

 

Tomorrow is our first real test in the league since Kenny took over and a massive test, whatever the result we need to show that we can compete with them.

[18-5]

 

Basically most massive European games when we had Rafa.

 

This happened after 2005. I was sure of winning a lot of games in Europe under Rafa.

 

Real Madrid at Anfield comes to my mind. Also in 2008-09 season at home to Newcastle felt like nailed on.

[king7]

No, I'm forever pessimistic. Always have a bad feeling, especially before big games. If I have a good feeling we usually lose. I have a really bad feeling about tomorrow...

[corro]

During the run in going for the title 2009 I thought we would never be beaten. We've never had a lot of luck down there and I've always worried when we go to grounds we stuggle at. Boro is one of them, spurs another. Thing is we sometimes sneak a win at these places. As long as we look the part against one of the contenders.

[jamespp]

FA Cup Final 1996, very very confident we'd win, obviously lost, we were in amazing form that season and probably played the best football over a whole season in the last 20 years, i remember the league game at anfield when we won 2-0, Fowler got 2 and Schmeichel was amazing, most one sided Liverpool - United game ever, i thought we would batter them

[Scott_M]

I was convinced we'd knock Chelsea out in 2005, not getting to Istanbul never even entered my mind.

[Rorschach08]

Not sure about win, but i've never felt more certain we'd lose a game that I did in Athens 2007, was confident right up until the morning of the game but something about the entire day just felt 'wrong', was a weird feeling.

[Wor Horse]

That Aston Villa 5-0 a couple of years back.

[Section_31]

Genuinely no, even Havant and Waterlooville shit me up a bit. I always knew which ganes would be boss though, anything involving Robbie Fowler and Arsenal usually.

[diaspora]

Wimbledon in the FA Cup Final.

 

Tomorrow is our first real test in the league since Kenny took over and a massive test, whatever the result we need to show that we can compete with them.

 

Even when they went ahead I thought we would win, only when the penno was missed did I lose faith. Those were the days when we were forever blowing doubles

[ngogswilly]

Madrid when we beat them 4-0, didn't expect the scoreline but just knew we would beat them.

[withnail71]

The whole 2005 CL campaign. It was destiny, we all felt it. We were meant to win that trophy.

[TheDrowningMan]

I think it's almost impossible for us to get anything from the game tomorrow, and my only real hope is that we keep the score down. Chelsea have hit form at just the right time, and so many people up and down the nation will be willng Torres to score. Which he will, probably on multiple occasions.

 

Still, I'm really pleased that it's me, insignificant in the grand scheme of the football club, making such negative predictions. That would have been the pre-match presser under Roy.

[Xherdan]

One thing for sure is that we will be massively up for this game.

[Wor Horse]

Liverpool always do well when a) someone fucks us over, b) when everyone wants us to lose and c) when the odds are against us.

 

Tomorrow ticks all them boxes, we'll see.
