LOLiverpooLOL - Next Season

[Silver Fox]

The soft-centre went when Robertson slipped and all the h8ers were ready with the Gerrard based LOLz but nothing came of it.

Having said that I'm a tad concerned that City are going to win all their games

[BR0B0T]

You'll have Barcelona in the semi* coming up.

I have the puns ready in case it goes to VAR

liVARpool v VARcelona

[BR0B0T]

Liverpool should beat this Barca team. We had two really good opportunities to score in the first 5 mins and then gave them two soft goals

[Victor Meldrew]

They still have to visit Old Trafford and have Spurs in the league. I can see them drawing one of those.

Liverpool will need to win their last 4 to stand any chance in taking the title. Those 4 are:

Cardiff (a)
Huddersfield (H)
Newcastle (a)
Wolves (H)

The next 2 look shoe-in's, Newcastle are safe so who knows what can happen there. Wolves on the last day could be tough, especially if they have a shot at 7th which could well bring then European football.

I think that City's game away at Burnley is possibly harder than their game at Man Utd.

I have seen some bollocks in my time here but that takes the cake.

Just put here to remind you that you shouldn't accuse people of talking bollocks.

They won both games extremely comfortably.

Can't you take defeat gracefully?

Not that anyone has asked you to join in the conversation but please have a look at the match stats. After you have looked at them preferably say nothing.

Did you actually watch the game? Stats are meaninglessness. It was far from a comfortable victory.

Yes I saw Man City hammer Burnley for 90 minutes as the stats suggest.

But they struggled to score because Burnley defending well. Which is struggling to win.

Look at the stats, it was easy as it comes. Just because they didn't take their chances it doesn't mean they weren't extremely comfortable. Maybe try a new sport, football isn't for you.

Having watched most of the game and seen their goal that only just crossed the line, I'd say it was anything but an easy as it comes win. They could easily have drawn that game whereas against United it was a more comfortable win.

In a season of fine margins, it's interesting to note that City might win the league thanks to two goal line decisions that went their way (correctly) thanks to the technology which, in previous season, might not have gone their way.

Liverpool had that chance that fell just 11mm short of crossing the line in the game at Ethiad, and yesterday City's goal stood thanks to the technology knowing it had crossed the line by 29mm before being cleared. I don't think City's goal would've been given by a lino (before the technology) because of the way it was cleared and the ball being a couple of feet in the air making it even harder to see if it had cleared the line or not.

Was it a goal? Yes.

Case closed.

[Stranded]

Did this turn out to be the toughest game of City's run-in to date? Yes
Did they struggle to break Burnley down effectively? Yes
Did they score? Yes
Did Burnley? No

It was one of those games where the result was more defined by unusually profligate finishing by City then anything Burnley did (they didn't have a shot on target).

If that's as tough as it gets for City then they will be delighted.

[Hoop Blah]

Was it a goal? Yes.

Case closed.

Yes, and as I said in my post, those decisions were correctly made by the technology. I think it's just interesting to note that at least one of those decisions would probably not have been giving by the human eye (IMO) and so it just highlights the fine margins involved in this title race.

Not sure why you think there was a case to answer anywhere to be honest. You ok hun?

I'm not sure HB was arguing otherwise.

But I agree that City were comfortable - Burnley got in a couple of threatening positions, but created nothing of any note. Had City failed to score it would have looked a lot like those 0-0s Liverpool got famous for a few seasons back against the lesser sides where they battered them for 90 minutes but lacked the final pass or shot.

I'm still convinced this season comes down to the last 10 minutes.
