Chucky, that’s the thing mate. A win for your boys would put you on par with the Manchester clubs which is what the chasing teams beneath should be aware of if any one of those had serious title aspirations or an aim just to try and push as high up as possible.

10 points isn’t really considered a big deal 9 games in and that can change quite quickly within 2-3 matches if City and United are off the gas pedal with draws and defeats.

But that theory can’t be solely relied upon for the pair to slip up. The others too have to step up and put together back to back wins.

Still awaiting confirmed line ups. Nothing on twitter as of yet.

Goatistuta, I think your fixture against Jose and the devils isn’t too far away. A good opportunity to place some breathing space. I do think though if Tottenham beat us and notch up 2 or 3 wins, there’s a chance of them challenging City.

I was chatting about this in the pub last week on the subject of Lakaku and the point made was that in some games, he’s simply not there to fire the bullets.

Still find the United result hard to believe, genuinely. On the point of this thread of buses, anybody see Jose’s pre-match interview? He was quite kryptic when alluding to Huddersfield’s approach hahaha 😀 😉

Hmm, just hard to imagine. Half-time, but you just never know, as we seen at the Bridge, a similar outcome could well and truly unfold. Unsettling in a way, but I suppose it’s entertainment from a neutral’s pov.

Yeah, 999 that’s was probably my laziness in not reading these pages properly lol 😀

Saw something about disliked players or something along those lines, so just chipped in with Williams 🙂

Cheers

You do feel hard done by if you’re a Watford fan when you consider at one point you’re 2-1 up and that’s after turning it around from being 1-0 down. Lots of goals conceded though late on, so credit has to be given to Chelsea bringing on a sub and changing the game.

Remember, it’s performances and wins delivered in that manner that take you further up the table and win you the league too.

On the back of this other stream of chat opened, I’d add at the moment Ashley Williams as a highly unlikeable character. I could picture him in a rumble when it comes to our Merseyside Derbies.

Just really chuffed to be top of the group as it stands inspite of Spartak’s own thrashing over Seville (5-1).

Hahaha Chucky, I know Pal 🙂 You know my growing likeness for Spurs and how highly I rate them so I’d be happy with a point, but even happier with all 3 🙂

7th Heaven 🙂

My, I’ve not seen anything like this for almost a year, if not a year when we thrashed Watford at Anfield in the PL. It all sort of went downhill from there and we’ve been fighting to be consistent, consistently ever since.

Need a big result this Sunday now.

And to add, I wonder if Jose will employ these tactics when his side travel to the Ethiad, meaning that he’s not just got something against Liverpool.

The only other thing I’d say as a quickie is that if these games are ending 0-0 with a team just solely focusing on nullifying a good attacking side, then perhaps with 0-0 draws, FIFA if anyone could maybe consider the idea of a 15 minute ‘powerplay’ after the game.

Obviously that’s an opportunity to throw in the kitchen sink and one with the most goals of course takes all 3 points.

I’m with Oz Yob and Chucky.

Without getting hung up on this, if you think in context of when he Managed Inter, he’d be able to get you a result. Like Rafa when he first joined Liverpool, he was ultra disciplined on defending as a first.

People get wound up about this because Jose was the one who invented the phrase ‘park the bus’ after the 0-0 Spurs draw where I think he had an expectation to take all 3 points. It’s a classic case of ‘one rule for one and one for the other’.

Wasn’t he a bit begrudging when United couldn’t turn draws into wins and teams like Burnley last season stole all 3 points. If he showed more humility and grace to opposition teams, then maybe he himself would be better received.

And, just to add, from a personal point of view, I don’t think I can continue to post on here much longer if I am constantly seeing negativity regarding Liverpool.

A huge shame as this is a wonderful site, however at times, still don’t feel (a) privacy just to chat amongst our own supporters and (b) any of our own supporters albeit minority getting behind the team.

It’s an atrocity and a blooming health warning, bordering just about, I don’t know. Just silly against what should be from our point of view, just living it.

If we lose, we lose, but let’s live the life and don’t let any interference affect us. YNWA

There’s a lot of bad press, negativity from our own supporters, but I’m excited. I love Jurgen Klopp and back him all the way.

Jordan Henderson: lead the way my friend. And Liverpool supporters, let’s stick together! YNWA

HH,

I’ll have to find a way to keep in touch as I have a wedding reception to attend to at 12! I’m hoping they will open up the bar next door ‘exclusively for the big screen, otherwise, it’s either via Smartphone or a tiny Radio!

I’m actually pretty upbeat despite what’s stacked against us. Those who were on international duty have had plenty of time to recoup and we’re at Anfield. I don’t think their gameplan will be to come out of the traps straight away and fire at us. They’ll want to run down the clock and throw their spanner in the works late.

It would be wonderful if we could grab All points as it could pave way to push on and develop a mini run of victories.

Not sure of the post on what is about Sadio Mane. We’ll do our best with what we’ve got and us supporters are always together.

I think re Jose, it’s an interesting one in his likely tactical plan.

I don’t think away from home the way that team will set out, be any different to Ferguson’s previous outings against us.

Think about it. Recall back to say the one where Forlan bagged himself a couple Giggs bagged on another occasion, and O’Shay on another. They are similar patterns to their effectiveness against the run of play, and naturally a little bit of luck than just individual brilliance.

Jose is likely to lure us into a false sense of security allowing the crowd to get behind us and deliver high octane football. He’d be the more happy man come half-time, and the scores remaining 0-0.

He’ll gradually up the ante and turn that dial knowing that we’re gradually going to get tired and create less than more.

We ourselves have to be prepared to be smart, patient and maintain our discipline. The key for me is to not crumble at the first hurdle and everybody fighting for each other on the pitch.
