I can't remember two sides as good as this? I'd say the Barcelona/Real Madrid duels in Spain surpass these but can't think of anything in England, in my memory anyway. I think so. Both teams likely to end on 90+ points. Didn't Madrid finish on about 95 points under Pellegrini and finish second?

We're a chance to finish the season on 97 points and come second. In the EPL era that would put us to be the third highest points tally behind City last year and this year. That would be ahead of any Ferguson Mourinho or Wenger season and yet may not be enough for the trophy.

If you win your remaining games then we'll just have to congratulate you because that would be an unbelievable winning run. That would be absolutely gutting though It will be painful if points are dropped in the home stretch but if both teams win their last five then I think I could only applaud them tbh.

If we don’t win it I’ll probably drink myself to death in sadness tbh

Yeah I’d say you’re lucky that you won’t experience the frustration of a title race, let alone one with this excruciatingly irritating City side, but it’s not that lucky because you’ve got to watch Everton week in week out.

The Artful Dodger Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Do think playing first gives you a psychological boost, interesting to see how Liverpool play.

I think odds are you win it, we need luck on our side - you’re in control of your destiny really, you irritating bastards.
Administrator Stan Posted April 14, 2019 Author Administrator Posted April 14, 2019 Regardless who wins it in the end, it's refreshing, as a neutral, to have a title race seemingly going all the way to the wire.

Rodgers tactics work best against big teams if he’s anything like the same manager, it’s the sides like Newcastle where you’ll suddenly look like dogshite. Having said that, good teams still can cut through defenses he organises like a hot knife through butter.

Bluewolf Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 This is one of those games where I would like Liverpool to win just to keep pace with City but because we have been so hit and miss this season we need the win just as much to keep a top 4 finish realistic...
Administrator Stan Posted April 14, 2019 Author Administrator Posted April 14, 2019 Salah diving again
Subscriber Dan+ Posted April 14, 2019 Subscriber Posted April 14, 2019 Salah's become the biggest diver in this league hasn't he?
Bluewolf Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 They should send players off with a straight red for diving and trying to deceive the ref.. that might knock a lot of it on the head
Bluewolf Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Part of our forward play problem there with Willian.. breaks with the ball and goes on a good run but runs out of steam in the final third, holds the ball up rather than pushing on and giving Liverpool chance to re-group and the chance to put pressure on the defence is gone..
The Artful Dodger Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Liverpool playing better than they have for a while, still yet to have a great chance though.
