LFCMike 3,009 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 If City come through that run of fixtures in April and go on to win it you just have to say fair play and the best team won it. Their game with Cardiff likely to be moved to 2nd or 3rd April if they reach the FA Cup semis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted March 9, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted March 9, 2019 Liverpool will win tomorrow. Whether it's a romp or a bit more laborious will potentially be telling. Still think it's not over, City were unconvincing again today. Had a good 15 minutes after being gifted the lead, otherwise a bit meh. Perhaps they're deliberately conserving energy with the fixtures to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,612 Posted March 11, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted March 11, 2019 Most of the pressure really starts to build after that international break right before the hard fixtures start. I always hate them because you know someone is coming back injured or carrying a knock. I just hope we don't incur any but that's a very difficult thing to predict these days. The good news is that we have the Spurs and Chelsea games early and even though its not an assured win the good news is that during the period City play Spurs and United we're going to have a comparatively easier fixture list assuming we dont get far in the CL. It's not over yet but this next week and the first week after the international break are extremely crucial to how the rest of the run pans out now.

Inverted 1,776 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 In both teams' current form there's no way City don't win. However, if Oxlade Chamberlain hits the ground running and City get fatigued with all competitions there's a chance for Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could still win all our remaining games despite being unconvincing. And city could be the better team in a scoreless draw or even get done by a dodgy pen and that would be enough. Its unlikely for sure but not impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have seen a situation where we finished second on 90+ points and that could still happen. I'm not sure what I'd be more gutted about to be honest. 2014 was the one where no one expected us to be close and then we let it go when we were. That felt like a chance that wasn't going to come along again for a long time because it was unexpected and wasn't really built on solid foundations. This year, I'd be gutted if this side finished on 90+ points and didn't win it. We're talking about the best Liverpool side in a generation and statistically one of our best ever. Yet they could still end up without anything to show for it. However it doesn't feel like it will be our only chance over the next few years. The club as a whole feels like it's in a good place right now and to challenge in the future. This feels different to 2009 and 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'd still be gutted; in 2014 though it really did seem like a golden chance that once Suarez left... I felt we looked miles away from. Whereas now, we could have a stupidly good season, probably be the best Liverpool team in my lifetime, and not have a title to show for it. Which is irritating as fuck, but we also seem like we're in such a better place than 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rodgers era outcome left me distraught and emotionally broken. Beyond despair. I think this season would just leave me a bit pissed off. Ultimately i do not expect to win. But still most likely it would be the highest ever points total for second place. Say we go 5-2-0 that's a final points tally of 93 which would have been a title winning tally in 24 of 26 seasons in the PL era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see it that way. They have a game in hand and much better goal difference, in better form and arguably an easier run in. They are absolutely the favorites in this situation. We just need to keep winning to keep the pressure on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will hurt less to lose here because you could be much more confident that we'll contend it again next year. Whereas the Rodgers team seemed on a miracle run like Leicester but lost and it felt like it could be years away from another title challenge.

To not win the title now is at best should of could of would of to at worst a failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
