LOLiverpooLOL - Next Season

[Ascotexgunner]

No gold PL trophy then for Liverpool for going unbeaten....and lost at Watford of all teams.
Watford worked hard but you have to say Liverpool looked utter sh+te and far from champions.....looked really lackluster at the end.

[URZZZZ]

One good thing that's come out of it I suppose is Liverpool fans may actually be able to see how much Henderson offers them. Outplayed by West Ham on Monday and again today. He's their most important midfielder and the likes of Keita and AOC who fans are constantly crying for don't offer anywhere near as much as Henderson

Although, most Liverpool fans seem to be blaming Lovren. Who was poor, but not the reason they lost

Couldn't agree more about Henderson who has shown massive improvement over these past 2 seasons and is the driving force behind the team.
The thing about Lovren I feel is that he makes other defenders nervous.

BTW the commentator and Klopp's interviewer hadn't done their homework-when Liverpool take corners on the opposite side by the full-back then that full back stays over that side until the time is right to get back in position.
The stupid two from Sky thought it was some kind of tactical switch and Klopp laughed when the question was put to him and he broadly asked the interviewer if he had ever seen Liverpool play.

Henderson is one of the most underrated players in the league. Also arguably England's most important player imo.

Putting 10 pounds on man City to win the league

[Silver Fox]

No gold PL trophy then for Liverpool for going unbeaten.

Was this actually a thing?

Anyway, a defeat was coming at some point, especially as they’ve not been looking great recently. Henderson out combined with Loren in was bound to be an issue but nobody came out of that with any credit, except for how they carried themselves afterwards. Good that Arsenal fans finally have something to celebrate.

I think you'll be putting 10 pounds on from eating humble pie with that bet.

Indeed it was. The PL gave them a gold one for the achievement. I saw it in their trophy room when I did a tour. Not real gold though.

Yeah, its only a little one as well, isn't it? Not a full-sized one.

Chelsea away tomorrow, which will be interesting. Although Chelsea are practically useless at home.

I have a feeling they will lose. If they do it will blow the title race WIDE open.

Well, that might be difficult, given that it's an FA Cup match

[Whore Jackie]

Not sure going out in the Fifth Round of the FA Cup leads to any point deductions in the PL.

Just 'one of those days' - difference is Liverpool have had one in a year, where they couldn't find a goal, nevermind a way to win, whereas even the best teams normally have a bad day at the office every ten games or so.

Re Lovren, there was an analysis I read of Van Dijk's position at Watford vs. prior games - in a nutshell, he offered far less protection to his full-back, as he was covering for his teammate, either out of necessity or, it seemed, a lack of confidence in his defending.

Well it might do. They will be tired and deflated.

I've been asking the Liverpool fans at work if they're feeling nervous yet.

Their response :
Given that Liverpool could lose 7 of the next 10 having only lost 2 in living memory, they're not worried yet.
If they only won 3 more, City would probably need to win ALL their remaining games (depending on goal difference). Difficult to see City winning all their remaining games like last year. If they drop 6 (2 defeats or 3 draws is not inconceivable in 11 games) then a couple of wins is likely more than enough.

Even the more nervous Scousers seem to think it's a done deal now.

Now if they lose at home to Bournemouth ...

[Sanguine]

Selection will be interesting by Klopp tomorrow. Liverpool seem to be better in a 'rhythm' - their players are immensely fit and the winter break seems to have done them no favours, but he will need to give key players some rest during a period of three games in eight days against Chelsea (a), Bournemouth (h) and Atletico (h), with the latter obviously the priority. So on the basis you'd perhaps expect less game time for those players against Bournemouth, I wonder if Klopp will go for the treble and play a strong team at Chelsea.

I think you'd have to be a special kind of idiot to think Liverpool won't win the league now and bet on City

Chelsea are there for the taking at the moment, awful defensively. Reckon he will play his best team and hope to be comfortable by half time, he can then rest the key players in the 2nd half.

This is what I meant about injuries to key players...how long is Henderson out for?
