Vlad the Fox Posted 25 February 2020 Share Posted 25 February 2020 7 hours ago, gurru991 said: Liverpool are a very good football team & have been for a couple of seasons now. When you have talent & work your bag off you tend to get lucky. Clubs like Villa & Bournemouth always complain that they are unlucky but the truth is they are just bad. Hard work coupled with skill equals lucky. True, I noticed it when we won the league, everything seems to fall for you, the second balls, knock downs, loose balls etc, but this is probably down to the desire and work rate of a very good team brimming with confidence as opposed to a poorer struggling team low on confidence who are less sharp, slower to react and work rate isn’t quite up there. Basically good confident teams get the breaks because of their work and attitude. That year we won it we looked like we wouldn’t let anyone beat us and pushed right to the very end, we never knew we were beat and I think that makes a huge difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool do what Champions do though - get a win without being great. Keeper was at fault for all 3 goals. He had a mare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosbehFox Posted 25 February 2020 Share Posted 25 February 2020 Can’t knock the Liverpool team for work rate firstly. Their midfield wins the first, the second and the third ball. However they are extremely difficult to warm to and this will hold back neutrals opinions of them. Last night alone TAA comes out and bemoans that West Ham scored with their only two chances. We had them cryarsing last week about Atleti and the Shrewsbury debacle of their own doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahnsouff Posted 25 February 2020 Share Posted 25 February 2020 Just now, Bert said: They’re always the victims remember. I actually think Klopp is quite canny and irregardless of the size as Liverpool as a club, even after 30 years with a domestic league win, he still has them feeling like outliers, still has them believing they are underdogs for the sole reason of fostering a siege, them v us mentality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facecloth Posted 25 February 2020 Share Posted 25 February 2020 Liverpool need to stay unbeaten for 6 more games to break the unbeaten league record set by Arsenal of 49 games. Game 47 is Everton, that would be hilarious if it stopped there. Game 48 is Palace, they love a **** up against Palace. Man City is game 49!

JJD_LCFC Posted 25 February 2020 Share Posted 25 February 2020 As a point - has anyone noticed VAR might be stopping frames at the wrong time in close offsides to allow the goal? Since all the criticism they have had looked like they chose the wrong image. Of course I could be completely wrong.. Just thought Jesus looked offside but they chose the wrong frame to view. Plus Martial looked offside for his goal v Watford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that they've amassed 70 points, last years champions in 2nd 57 and us in 3rd just 50 is bugger all to do with luck or var, it means over the season they have been in every department, players, skill and tactics, far superior to anyone else. Whether people like or dislike them they are the facts and it's churlish for anyone to even attempt to put it down to luck. If they can keep their players, add to them wisely and maintain motivation, they'll not be much different next year. Admittedly if Man City can get a defence they'll be back up there with them. We have to accept that we are a team in progress compared to those two who have been built up expensively over a few years now. We are actually ahead of where we could reasonably expect to be in reality and going well. Liverpool are an excellent team and offer a good model. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not ludicrous to put 5/6 of their wins down to luck or poor officiating.I Its just ,poor form and I believe quite pathetic,chasing down oppositions wins,or played down to luck or the officiating. Then start some nonsense immature campaign,over it...( Then criticise the Media vor doing the same thing)...By the way,Not you.. Sorry I live on a different wave length.......from Another Time gone by. Sitting with Tight arsed cheeks,waiting to Jump on every piece of play,forgetting für other poor or dominant performance,over the whole game....its beyond me... From all teams,I have seen them either get the Rub of the green, & then be highly irritated by a call... if you ask me,do I Think VAR officiating has been poor allround, answer would be No, its been pathetic..!!! Not the Technology But the PC correctness,not on the incident itself,but more incorrect trying to Placate some 'old Boy' Political stance. Its The decisions that are therefore corruptly cheating the fans and the sport itself...Plus the VAR idea... Do then then games,get lost or won by it...not IMO. IE. our games against Villa in the cup,und Now against Man.city. Should we have had penalties,..Yes!!! But they are just 'moments' in the game.!! We had other ' moments' where we should of scored..or got Away ourselves with fouls....!! Swings n roundabouts,twists & turns,..karma. ...Bloody frustrating....but L'pool or ourselves have seen both sides of those descision.... Fans are just a bias load of schmuck..!!!

CosbehFox Posted 27 February 2020 Share Posted 27 February 2020 Wolves Supporters Club chairman Albert Bates declared ‘I would advised that fans just purchase the BT Sport package and watch it here. I think we are being fed information dampened down, and we’re not being told how serious this is. I think they should cancel the game, I don’t understand why you they haven’t to be honest’ Looks like Wolves have their own Cliff Ginetta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 28 February 2020 Share Posted 28 February 2020 Great if not unexpected news that Arsenal are out of the Europa League. Can't see any chance they make Europe through the Prem this season so that is going to hurt their recruitment big time in the summer. add to that players like Aubameyang (one of their few very good players) will want to leave, this could be the end of Arsenal as big 6 and more interestingly make us a more attractive destination (especially in ManCity ban is upheld) for good young players this summer.

How would Arsenal not being in Europe harm their recruitment big time. Come to Leicester because we're in Europe, here's 80 grand a week and a 5 year contract Come to Arsenal, unfortunately we're not in Europe this year, but here's 250 grand a week , a 5 year contract and the chances are you'll be in Europe next season. I know which i'd choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
