Hopefully this point wins us the league Think under Ole they are very different and had it been another time like earlier in the season we'd have beaten them senseless. Having said that any point here is a good point and keeps the pressure on City to perform as well.They will lose a game before they reach the end and if it comes later rather than sooner it will be a blessing in disguise for us.

IgnisExcubitor 678 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 We never looked like scoring. Zero creativity or good movement up front. The less said about our passing in the final third the better. I can understand the performance in the first half. Even we seemed to be affected by the constant stoppages, but the team should have shown some urgency in the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted February 24, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted February 24, 2019 I have to say, although it's not a poor result for Liverpool in isolation, I don't see how you can shrug off that performance. One shot on target in 90 minutes against ten men with no substitutes and two kids in midfield for United? City would have found a way through there and probably won at least 2-0 and that's the standard you're up against to win this title. A draw here would have been fine if they'd not struggled just as much to break down Leicester, West Ham and Bayern Munich in their last few games as well but it's becoming a pattern for them now. Had they won even one of those two league games a draw today would have been perfect but the slide continues subtly instead. Next two games Liverpool will bash Watford because they'll turn up and try and go toe to toe with them like idiots and leave Mane and Salah to gobble up Cathcart and Holebas on the counter attack, then the derby next weekend they'll win one way or another because Everton, we'll see if that brings back some confidence. The saving grace for them is that City have the trickier run in and still have to go to Old Trafford themselves where even though United fans would prefer City to win the League, they and the players will still be well up for the derby.

Harry 1,437 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I reckon trent would have scored from that first indirect free kick. Klopp was pretty conservative today on a few different fronts. I'm surprised especially given the injuries which hugely limited their danger. I think he must have been comfortable with a draw. I'm disappointed Keita didn't start as he's been good lately and just can't get a consistent run of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll never know what would have happened if he'd started TAA at RB, Keita in for hendo, and brought on shaq instead of Sturridge at the first sub. I'd see that team a lot more likely to break them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegan Kel 172 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 These games aren't half shit these days. Pretty much counting down the days til the end of the season to see which mercenary, mentally weak bottlejob twats Woodward signs next to go with Sanchez, Lukaku etc etc. It's like the managers we've had since Ferguson have all got progressively worse in terms of signings (although Memphis Depay and Angel Di Maria are easily the most pathetically weak players I've ever seen at the club). Decent point for Liverpool I thought and they're still in a great position. Citeh have got talked about as some unbeatable side for the last decade, even when they had shit like Robinho and Balotelli, and they only ever looked anywhere near that once and that was last season. I'd still make Liverpool favourites and, unless they bottle it massively, they'll win it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have now played all the top sides away and probably have the easier run in, whilst our form can only get better. Next. I would say Liverpool have the harder run in, you have Watford, Everton away, Spurs, Chelsea & Wolves while City only have Spurs at home and United away which we only have an 80% chance of winning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperation kicks in and in this league you could beat everyone from the top bracket and just run into a team from the lower bracket who make it hard for you as they are trying to avoid the drop.

I wonder how injuries to Fernandinho and Laporte are going to affect them. I just read Guardiola saying that the duo could be out for some weeks.
