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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

That would be absolutely gutting though Just looking at it we have United away (which we should win or very least draw) ..Spurs play us at the Etihad after only 3 days rest of also playing us at the Eithad in the CL, we can rotate a lot without weakening the team much, they can not, they don't have the depth ..lose today and i think we take the league, draw and you are just about still in with a shot if we under perform somewhere, 3pts is a must for you today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted April 14, 2019 Author Administrator Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluewolf Posted April 14, 2019 Share 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...

Bluewolf Posted April 14, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluewolf Posted April 14, 2019 Share 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..
