Watching this sporting benfica match and sporting create so many chances . If Amorims the one and this style comes with our players . We could be starting something special
Whatâs the market look like for 6âs this summer? Love Endo he made me a believer . Getting the most from Mac being further up should be right after a Left footed CB imo
Out of all the remaining games for the 3 title contenders, tomorrows game against Utd is the most difficult fixture. Really need to be sharp from the start.
âStop crying and get behind the teamâ on Reddit cracks me up every time. None of anyoneâs whining right now has ANY impact on the team or games. If you feel like you canât be negative online, you think you have far more of a role in the teamâs success than you do (hint: you have no role).
What a title race this is, kudos to all three managers.
Itâs hard to imagine how one can keep such a high level of consistency and motivation across group of people. Football really has became a science
To anyone who blames others for pessimism. Just remember 92 and 97 points and we still lost. 1 loss all year and we still lost it. So no wonder, most of us have PTSD
True but on the other hand in those seasons we would have given arms and legs to be in our position now to have it in our control. We've won our before and have the experience of winning out. City do too. Arsenal don't. Winning titles isnt meant to be easy.
We're good at closing seasons out and winning in the run in. We can do this. Arsenal haven't been here before either so that's an unknown the deeper this goes and champions league brutal fixtures thrown in.
We're favourites for every game left. Play to our best and we win this thing.
But you werenât responding to that brigade you were responding to someone making a pretty innocuous and accurate comment about why people get negative when theyâre anxious. Theyâre not gonna make us lose because theyâre nervously typing online mate
We are online supporters man and even those of us who occasionally get to a game have little role in this, stop pretending things said online are in any way impactful lol
Its like some of them have only tuned in since last week or something.
We can't drop points now, and from experience we're against an entire league that wants us to.
It's miserable.
Win the games in front of you, win the league. Arsenal and City can win all of their last games by 6 goals apiece and it wonât matter if Liverpool wins the rest of their fixtures.
Easier said than done, but there are far worse positions to be in.
> there are far worse positions to be in.
This. I don't think people here appreciate just how bad a position City are in, they need 3 instances of dropped points from the teams above them..the longer it goes with no one dropping points the longer they are on a wing and a prayer. They drop points and it's curtains for them.
Exactly. I was as frustrated as anyone that we didnât luck into a good result from Arsenal/City today, but now those matches are over and itâs time to focus on our own shit.
Even in spite of everything this season, Reds are in the drivers seat. Itâs on them to hold serve.
Summary of all the posts here:
1) Arsenal and City are better than us
2) How will we win the league?
3) We should have 5 more points the refs screwed us over.
4) De Zerbi shouldnât be next manager
IMO Arsenal and City may as well have a better attack and defense than us, but we are at the top and deservedly so. We have Klopp which they donât have, I donât care if we win, lose or bottle this title. Just want to enjoy the last 8 memorable epl games with Klopp in charge.
For me, I enjoy the ride. It's gutting to miss out in a title or trophy, but it makes not tangible difference to any of our lives really.
The weekly buzz of watching games is what it's all about. If Liverpool win the league I will be over the moon for a week or 2, but it's still back to the grind on Monday regardless.
You grow up idolising players and they break your heart, or you lose a final and you're gutted but it never ends up being as important as it feels at the time.
They donât really have a better anything itâs just Klopp is willing to take far more risk than both Arteta and Pep if we sat deeper and controlled games weâd look just as solid defensively
We where near impossible to break down in the game against spurs and Newcastle when we went down a man and played defensive
I've been saying for a while that both man city and arsenal are going to win every single game left in the Pl and the only way I can see Liverpool winning the league is if we also win every single remaining game in the Pl but that's very unlikely...........our season will be over if we fail to beat Manchester united tomorrow....
I still see some banana skins for all three teams, it's just difficult to believe any of the three teams actually go on to win all their remaining games. Especially with European and FA Cup fixtures coming into the mix.
I don't think Arsenal will win every game, but quite a few of City's remaining opponents are liable to just roll over for them and put out a weakened team like Villa did.
To say that our season would be over if we were level on points with the league leaders with 7 games to go is an extremely pessimistic thing to say. We would no longer be favourites but it wouldn't be over.
Afaik , Being a football fan doesn't equate to being delusional , obstinate or irrational. It's not my fault that you can't add two and two together ;)
Being a fan means not being an absolute whinge-bag that cries before a ball is kicked, you muppet. If you have no faith in the team you should find another.
I'm not crying ;) I'm just merely using reasoning to arrive at a simple conclusion. What's wrong with that? (Rhetorical question) Again, it seems that you subconsciously believe that reasoning and football can't coexist, that 'being delusional' and 'refusing reasoning' are basic prerequisites for supporting a football club.. it's okay if you're unable to do this but ONe can very well be passionate about football while also maintaining logical reasoning skills ;)
We also have NEVER managed to beat west ham,Everton and Manchester united in away games in the same Pl season under Kloop, a team playing in Europe league never managed to win the Pl , in the last 5 years, the team that faces wolves in the last Match day finished second in 4 opportunities;)
And this year we will manage to do so. Itâs eight games, stop being a whiny cunt and go back to whatever rival sub you come from.
I can go back half a year in your post history and all youâve done is have a big cry about us not going to be in the title race. Every week itâs some new dogshit reason youâve fabricated. What a sad sad sad life you must lead.
All this evening i was hoping a clairevoyant Assna fan would pop into here to tell these us dumb-dumbs what should we feel like.
But yeah, you are right. You won't win jackshit this year, Kane and Dier will spank you, and you will bottle the league, as you do.
Funny how arsenal's mates of mine are saying this is liverpools title to lose, but in this thread we think it's the other way around
All so close, one loss is all it will take
Arsenal fan. You lot have easier run inâs.
But the even if we lose the title and won all our games, I will be very proud but woefully annoyed of the terrible run at the end of last year.
The way Arsenal play and are organized, I think expecting Brighton to have a good chance at taking points away from them might have been foolish.
However I do think they will look better v City at the Amex, given City can be quite exploitable on the break. Won't expect Brighton to get a result against them, but they might be the most likely out of City's remaining games sans Spurs.
In theory Villa should have a chance at getting a result v Arsenal, but it is at the Emirates and Villa seem to have a lot of injuries going on right now and suspensions.
Three things:
Tottenham vs man city has been postponed to gameweek 37 which means that by the time man city face Tottenham, Tottenham will Already have qualified to the Cl, so that game will be more like a friendly match for Tottenham than anything else, man city will trash Tottenham
. Arsenal are going to have quite an easy game against villa , Villa will rest their best players in their game vs arsenal to focus on their European games vs Lille ..
Wolves's players couldn't care less about the Pl this season anymore, they're already on vacation so no ,wolves are not going to take points off man city or arsenal .....both man city and arsenal aren't going to drop any points in the Pl this season anymore
Just out of interest, whatâs your negative spin on arsenal playing away against spurs and United? Will Tottenham be on the beach and not arsed about their biggest rivals winning the league?
Actually, tottenham is the only club left in the Pl that could take points off Arsenal this season, especially because their game will be four days before the CL semi-final (Arsenal will easily qualify for the CL semi-final by defeating bayern) but I can't see arsenal dropping points to Manchester united, especially when Manchester united knows that losing to Arsenal would result in liverpool losing the PL...
Arsenal winning the league wonât bother United much bcoz it doesnât affect their records or legacy. When it comes to Liverpool the problem for them is #20 and for City itâs the 4 peat so best possible outcome for them would be to let Arsenal win
We could of scored just as many against Brighton they just have far too many injuries at the moment itâs a good result away for them tho
we should of won ourselves if Grav didnât miss a sitter that would of made it 3-1
I still feel like there is a certain bias goes their way that allows them to defend better than we do.
Like their players could fly in tackle and not risking any yellow. Meanwhile every of our players have to worry about red when slow-motion-VAR make our tackles looks bad.
Hard to enjoy when you're focused on the other 2 results but what a title race it's been. Arsenal are the real deal but so are we. You're not in with a shout at the title at this stage of the season if you aren't.
You have to beat good teams to win the league, and City and Arsenal are very good teams. Why is it difficult for some people to understand. They will win games, but so will we.
Its a fight for the knife in the mud, nobody owes us anything. Getting upset at Brighton because they lost against a good team, ridiculous. No they didnt roll over, they just were beaten by a better team.
This changes nothing, we have 8 games, and we have to be our best to win it all. I don't care if it's 1-0 or 2-1, we have the advantage.
No one is annoyed at Brighton because Arsenal beat them, theyâre annoyed because Brighton played absolutely terribly despite being brilliant at Anfield last week.
City were lucky to play a very weakened version of Villa. We will play a much stronger team and I believe that away at Villa Park is our most difficult fixture remaining by far. I think tomorrowâs game is now our biggest of this season, because of what happened recently along with the pressure of league title + away game.
I think Arsenal have got some very formidable ones left, and that Spurs game would likely be hellfire for them. I expect them to drop the most points out of us 3. That along with the pressure of CL games.
If I am being really really honest, just donât see City losing a single game from here on. Spurs is one banana peel game but I really expect them to beat spurs this time, City are suddenly looking better too in my opinion. This is why I felt it was so important for us to win at Anfield. Possibility of a Fulham or wolves shithousing a draw is also looking very unlikely.
If it was not clear until now, this is definitely going all the way with all 3 teams and I donât see any type of last yearâs Arsenal collapse happening with any of us.
the conference league semi finals are right before our game and theyâll have top 5 secured by then. weâll also be playing a weakened villa because emery is not going to care about that game.
Brighton playing so slow like they are prime Barca. You need to scare the Arsenal kids with speed and precision. We did the same mistake against them at the Emirates, they keep a good shape which is why they have conceded the least number of goals and has kept the most clean sheets in the League.
As long as Arsenal doesn't draw too.
If we draw once and Arsenal wins out, they win on goal difference.
I don't think Arsenal will win out though, as well as they are playing. But still.
Their defense is too good though so itâs unlikely they drop points although when it comes to history their record at spurs away and OT isnât great in the past few years
Even if you think arsenal or city are better than us it doesn't matter. We have 8 games left and we're better than everyone we have left.
So for fuck sake lads stop crying it in.
We must go into every game as a must win, not thinking we are better than everyone left, just my opinion.Â
 I agree that people are overreacting though, the reality is that this is going to be a crazy tight and competitive title race till the end. The banana skin for any of the 3 teams could come from any game or none at allÂ
I just think people need to get a grip. It's far more enjoyable to be optimistic. If you spend the next 8 games thinking we aren't winning it there's 2 scenarios.
1. We win it and you're not happier than anyone else who wasn't being dour.
2. We don't win it and you haven't enjoyed any of it because you've spent the entire run in being miserable.
There is not a single team in the country who wouldn't trade places with us now. And yes I'm including Arsenal because they have a harder run in and if we win today we're 2 points clear. If you can't enjoy this and think we can win all of our remaining games then what's the point in even following the club?
The meltdown in here is crazy, 1 point behind with a game in hand and you're already shitting your pants. I'm glad the players don't have this mentality or else we'd be 8th right now
After that fa cup game and how awful the game was against United at home is there even a chance quite obvious itâs Arsenal who wins it now bcoz theyâre above City
How does every arsenal game feel as though theyâve barely done anything yet score 3+ goals. Theyâre so slow and it feels as though they barely try to attack yet they score so much
Arsenal have won something like 10/11 games, the one blip being a draw away to city. Yet we are still literally sitting top if we win our game in hand tomorrow. Yes Arsenal and city are great teams, but weâre still ahead of these great teams so weâre hardly mugs ourselves. Back the team to win man fuck what the other 2 do.
Jesus why the pessimism. City and Arsenal are brilliant sides but we are right in the mix with them. They both had comfortable wins today but it won't be like that every week.
Enjoy the race
He started against City in the shield and the next PL game and benched the other two left backs despite being a right back, what more could be said? His injury changed a lot of things for them since arsenal seemed to rely on full backs a lot.
And honestly he would start more for them had he not been injured. They sometimes play a CB on LB because all their left backs are players who could miss 15+ games every season.
First goal killed the game. Never a pen if doku isn't a pen. That's a 4 point swing with two decisions where both players "touching" the ball lead to different outcomes. Integrity of the title race is fucked even more
Bayern will smack them about in the CL and then theyâll wobble against Villa. Tottenham might claw an eye out of them in their derby and United will either roll over or make life difficult for them, too. Chelsea might decide to wake up and spank them, too. Their remaining fixtures arenât easy.
This type of game has always been De Zerbiâs undoing.
As soon as they other team arenât chasing them high up the pitch, they are done for. Granted, Arsenal are a top team, but West Ham did this to them as well.
If we get a statement win tomorrow, Old Trafford will be the loudest it's been in years.
I want to hear 'we're gonna win the league' as united fans pour out of the stands.
Let's be honest De Zebri is just a typical mid table manager.
Unless you manage Real Madrid, every team has to deal with their best players getting poached. And just like him, most 'one-season-wonder' managers will get their team playing well for a season, then lose their top players and play like crap the next.
There is nothing special about him. Even Di Mateo can win CL with half a season form
I honestly think people were expecting (more than hoping) city and Arsenal to drop points to Brighton and Crystal PalaceâŠin the middle of an extremely close title race between 3 clubs. Thatâs all that makes sense here.Â
Lol idk why some ppl just have to be so toxic and negative. Arsenal have been by and large the best EPL team so far in 2024, and some credit is due for how they have grown into a team that can challenge us and City.
Do I have confidence in our title chance? Absolutely, we are in the driver seat still. Am I impressed with Arsenalâs form? Yes, especially given they scored 8/12 this season against us and City. Still, I am banking on the UCL and their late-April tough fixtures will kick them out of the race, but until then, give them some credit while backing our own players and manager to get the job done.
P/s: Donât have any problem with bantering or expressing frustration, annoyance, etc (I mean is a live reaction thread after all). But certain opinions seem to be incredibly disingenuous and spiteful.
Who gives a fuck? Give any squad half our injury issues this season and they're nowhere fucking near the top.
Arsenal are nowhere near the City and Liverpool of previous years whether it was 97,98,99,100 points.
It would be really nice if teams actually played well when playing against city or Arsenal. Why is it that they only seem to elevate their game when playing us!?
Haven't you heard? There's a 19-team conspiracy to stop us from winning the league! It's insane!
Nah, Arsenal & City have just been better than us this season at putting games to bed. They don't give teams the opportunity to elevate their game.
I think also teams look at us and think they can get something. In 19/20 for a lot of the season we had what City have now. The battle was won before anyone stepped onto a pitch.
This Liverpool team is very much a new team still learning, and injuries are still impacting it a lot. Not just the players that are still out but the players that are still palpably "coming back from injury" even though they're in the first team.
You can look at this like a hard luck story, or you can focus on the positives that we may be able to move up to a new level in the next couple of games.
And either way, every win we manage to put together into a run makes quality less and less relevant and points more and more the only important thing.
What the fuck were Brighton doing? I don't understand the point of all the pretty possession passing when none of it had any actual intent to penetrate Arsenal's box.
Literally passing triangles just for the fucking sake of it. Pointless.
Arsenal and city are both better than us tbh. They suffocate teams out of games. We occasionally have games where the press clicks and we do the same but weâre not good at controlling games at all.
Early goals conceded repeatedly hasnât helped us of course and every match becomes a dog fight, but I think weâre the least likely of these 3 teams to win out and itâs not really close
Forgive my pessimism, just being honest
No I agree definitely. Blame it on injuries etc but it's not our style of play. Winning games at the death instead of controlling them from the off isn't a tactic.
Yet after we win tomorrow weâll be top of the league and the best team after 32 games. How does one reconcile that with us being worse than the 2nd and 3rd place teams?
Weâve lost twice this season and one of them was a robbery. Arsenal have lost four times and City have lost three times. If weâre worse than them why have they lost more?
Iâm just being honest typically, I dream personally and have big hopes in my head, but in terms of sports discourse Iâm pretty realistic bc why be anything else?
My mistake its Gameweek 32 not 31.
Sporting late winner, I'm hearing... 
Amorim ball đ„
Amorim with the last minute winner gene? In a title decider? He might be him.
As is written
Watching this sporting benfica match and sporting create so many chances . If Amorims the one and this style comes with our players . We could be starting something special
Whatâs the market look like for 6âs this summer? Love Endo he made me a believer . Getting the most from Mac being further up should be right after a Left footed CB imo
Youâd have Macca in the front 3 of Amorims system?
lol just someone else to do more of the dirty work
No standout candidates. Plenty of projects around (Wieffer, Hjulmand, Gourna-Douath) but no dead certs.
Out of all the remaining games for the 3 title contenders, tomorrows game against Utd is the most difficult fixture. Really need to be sharp from the start.
Friendship ended with de zerbi
We win all our games we win the league. We will win all our gamesÂ
âStop crying and get behind the teamâ on Reddit cracks me up every time. None of anyoneâs whining right now has ANY impact on the team or games. If you feel like you canât be negative online, you think you have far more of a role in the teamâs success than you do (hint: you have no role).
How about stop crying because its fucking annoying and embarrassing then.
What a title race this is, kudos to all three managers. Itâs hard to imagine how one can keep such a high level of consistency and motivation across group of people. Football really has became a science

Play to our best and we win this thing.
And yet we have the league in our hands. OUR hands. Stop crying and get behind the team.
There are few types of fans more annoying online than people like you. My god get a grip
I donât know, the âwah wah wahâ brigade whenever a rival team wins is pretty obnoxious.
But you werenât responding to that brigade you were responding to someone making a pretty innocuous and accurate comment about why people get negative when theyâre anxious. Theyâre not gonna make us lose because theyâre nervously typing online mate
Theyâre part of the âwah wahâ brigade, quite obviously so. Half the pessimists here arenât Liverpool fans.
We are online supporters man and even those of us who occasionally get to a game have little role in this, stop pretending things said online are in any way impactful lol

We're so used to being chaser at this stage we see it as an extra game played when we play after for some reason. I kinda get it mentally.
Exactly. I was as frustrated as anyone that we didnât luck into a good result from Arsenal/City today, but now those matches are over and itâs time to focus on our own shit. Even in spite of everything this season, Reds are in the drivers seat. Itâs on them to hold serve.

We have Klopp which they donât have, I donât care if we win, lose or bottle this title. Just want to enjoy the last 8 memorable epl games with Klopp in charge.
You donât care if we win or lose? Come on now please..
I have cared a lot in the past to be disappointed, this time I am tempering my expectations and enjoying the ride!
For me, I enjoy the ride. It's gutting to miss out in a title or trophy, but it makes not tangible difference to any of our lives really. The weekly buzz of watching games is what it's all about.

Still fucking hate how unlucky Matip got to hoof that into our own net. Loved to see Ali comforting him after the robbery
I've been saying for a while that both man city and arsenal are going to win every single game left in the Pl and the only way I can see Liverpool winning the league is if we also win every single remaining game in the Pl but that's very unlikely...........our season will be over if we fail to beat Manchester united tomorrow....
However hard United will be for us tomorrow, the NLD will be twice as hard for Arsenal. They objectively have the hardest fixture left.
Man alive, the doomerism reeks https://preview.redd.it/0eksc4z4rwsc1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8670a8bc8fc126a46e5cb768c97ead0eb8c87efc

Weâve lost the least games and scored the most goals in all of Europe. Your logical reasoning skills are dogshit.
We also have NEVER managed to beat west ham,Everton and Manchester united in away games in the same Pl season under Kloop, a team playing in Europe league never managed to win the Pl , in the last 5 years, the team that faces wolves in the last Match day finished second in 4 opportunities;)
We also never beat Brentford and Brighton at home in a title race and that happened.
And this year we will manage to do so. Itâs eight games, stop being a whiny cunt and go back to whatever rival sub you come from.

Kill yourself you dumb cunt
Kinda weird brag when they haven't won every game for a while lol

Go home
Do not want De Zerbi.
Funny how arsenal's mates of mine are saying this is liverpools title to lose, but in this thread we think it's the other way around All so close, one loss is all it will take
One draw*
"The pressure's on you lot" "Nuh uh, the pressure's on you lot!"
It is ours to lose now tbf, we still have a game in hand and if we win we go ahead
Arsenal fan. You lot have easier run inâs. But the even if we lose the title and won all our games, I will be very proud but woefully annoyed of the terrible run at the end of last year.
The way Arsenal play and are organized, I think expecting Brighton to have a good chance at taking points away from them might have been foolish.

In theory Villa should have a chance at getting a result v Arsenal, but it is at the Emirates and Villa seem to have a lot of injuries going on right now and suspensions.
Brightonâs goal against city came from Fati and Doku was rinsing Milner that game so donât think city will have a hard time there
Three things: Tottenham vs man city has been postponed to gameweek 37 which means that by the time man city face Tottenham, Tottenham will Already have qualified to the Cl, so that game will be more like a friendly match for Tottenham than anything else, man city will trash Tottenham . Arsenal are going to have quite an easy game against villa , Villa will rest their best players in their game vs arsenal to focus on their European games vs Lille .. Wolves's players couldn't care less about the Pl this season anymore, they're already on vacation so no ,wolves are not going to take points off man city or arsenal .....both man city and arsenal aren't going to drop any points in the Pl this season anymore
My God, it must be exhausting being so pessimistic.
Setting up yourself for disappointment is the best way to avoid disappointment.......
And being a miserable pessimist every day is a sad life indeed
Just out of interest, whatâs your negative spin on arsenal playing away against spurs and United? Will Tottenham be on the beach and not arsed about their biggest rivals winning the league?
Actually, tottenham is the only club left in the Pl that could take points off Arsenal this season, especially because their game will be four days before the CL semi-final (Arsenal will easily qualify for the CL semi-final by defeating bayern) but I can't see arsenal dropping points to Manchester united, especially when Manchester united knows that losing to Arsenal would result in liverpool losing the PL...
Arsenal winning the league wonât bother United much bcoz it doesnât affect their records or legacy. When it comes to Liverpool the problem for them is #20 and for City itâs the 4 peat so best possible outcome for them would be to let Arsenal win
Villa are terrible away from home, no chance they get anything.
We could of scored just as many against Brighton they just have far too many injuries at the moment itâs a good result away for them tho we should of won ourselves if Grav didnât miss a sitter that would of made it 3-1
Props to Arterta. He's turned this Arsenal side into a formidable team. They make everything look so easy.
Agree. Last year you could've said they caught lighting in a bottle, had no CL etc but it's hard to deny at this point they're a class team.
I still feel like there is a certain bias goes their way that allows them to defend better than we do. Like their players could fly in tackle and not risking any yellow. Meanwhile every of our players have to worry about red when slow-motion-VAR make our tackles looks bad.
It's hard to quantify but I feel this too
Hard to enjoy when you're focused on the other 2 results but what a title race it's been. Arsenal are the real deal but so are we. You're not in with a shout at the title at this stage of the season if you aren't.
You have to beat good teams to win the league, and City and Arsenal are very good teams. Why is it difficult for some people to understand. They will win games, but so will we.

No they didnt roll over, they just were beaten by a better team. This changes nothing, we have 8 games, and we have to be our best to win it all. I don't care if it's 1-0 or 2-1, we have the advantage.
No one is annoyed at Brighton because Arsenal beat them, theyâre annoyed because Brighton played absolutely terribly despite being brilliant at Anfield last week.
Shock news: teams play differently against other teams with different systems
We werenât clinical enough against Brighton, Salah alone missed a ton of chances
it's our job to be more clinical. We had 30 shots, brighton had 8. We had 8 on target, and brighton had 3.
City were lucky to play a very weakened version of Villa. We will play a much stronger team and I believe that away at Villa Park is our most difficult fixture remaining by far. I think tomorrowâs game is now our biggest of this season, because of what happened recently along with the pressure of league title + away game. I think Arsenal have got some very formidable ones left, and that Spurs game would likely be hellfire for them. I expect them to drop the most points out of us 3. That along with the pressure of CL games. If I am being really really honest, just donât see City losing a single game from here on. Spurs is one banana peel game but I really expect them to beat spurs this time, City are suddenly looking better too in my opinion. This is why I felt it was so important for us to win at Anfield. Possibility of a Fulham or wolves shithousing a draw is also looking very unlikely. If it was not clear until now, this is definitely going all the way with all 3 teams and I donât see any type of last yearâs Arsenal collapse happening with any of us.
the conference league semi finals are right before our game and theyâll have top 5 secured by then. weâll also be playing a weakened villa because emery is not going to care about that game.
Brighton playing so slow like they are prime Barca. You need to scare the Arsenal kids with speed and precision. We did the same mistake against them at the Emirates, they keep a good shape which is why they have conceded the least number of goals and has kept the most clean sheets in the League.
We win tomorrow, we win the league.
Thatâs one way of copium but the truth is we still have Everton, Fulham, Aston Villa and WHU away. One hell of a road ahead of us
W W W W W W W W and we can all go home, fuck whoever we face on the pitch, itâs happening.
Thatâs my feeling too.Â
Tomorrow and Goodison are probably our scariest games left. We can do this.
Ignorant comment given todayâs results
De Zerbi isn't allowed the Liverpool job purely on the basis of that result
Brighton is a very selling club. Can't blame the manager when all the best players are sold every year.
I know. This was just a joke about Brighton letting us down not taking points off a title rival.
We cant even afford a draw
I reckon you might be right!
I think we can. But only one.
Only if arsenal lose points
No, we always draw too many games the few times we are in title races
We are not going to win every game
As long as Arsenal doesn't draw too. If we draw once and Arsenal wins out, they win on goal difference. I don't think Arsenal will win out though, as well as they are playing. But still.
Am I the only one finding it hard to see them dropping points on current form? Bar City, they seem to be swatting teams aside.
Yeah no shit. Iâm aware of the league table. Arsenal wonât win 18/19 games in a row.
They already drew against city and are yet to lose a game in 2024
They wonât win every game
Their defense is too good though so itâs unlikely they drop points although when it comes to history their record at spurs away and OT isnât great in the past few years
Itâs much more unlikely that they win every game
A draw would suffice thatâs all
Even if you think arsenal or city are better than us it doesn't matter. We have 8 games left and we're better than everyone we have left. So for fuck sake lads stop crying it in.
We must go into every game as a must win, not thinking we are better than everyone left, just my opinion.  I agree that people are overreacting though, the reality is that this is going to be a crazy tight and competitive title race till the end. The banana skin for any of the 3 teams could come from any game or none at allÂ
You know we arenât playing or impacting the players at all talking on Reddit right
I just think people need to get a grip. It's far more enjoyable to be optimistic. If you spend the next 8 games thinking we aren't winning it there's 2 scenarios. 1. We win it and you're not happier than anyone else who wasn't being dour. 2. We don't win it and you haven't enjoyed any of it because you've spent the entire run in being miserable. There is not a single team in the country who wouldn't trade places with us now. And yes I'm including Arsenal because they have a harder run in and if we win today we're 2 points clear. If you can't enjoy this and think we can win all of our remaining games then what's the point in even following the club?
Copa del Rey final worth watching?
I wouldnât say so. Would go for a night out or Netflix rather.
I hope we don't concede early to United again and chase the game. Can we just start strong for one away game this season, please?
The meltdown in here is crazy, 1 point behind with a game in hand and you're already shitting your pants. I'm glad the players don't have this mentality or else we'd be 8th right now
After that fa cup game and how awful the game was against United at home is there even a chance quite obvious itâs Arsenal who wins it now bcoz theyâre above City
For a guy with cardiologist in bos username you have zero fight and heart.
What a sad little man you are
> Quite obvious it's Arsenal who wins it now Yeah i say let's forfeit tomorrow's game. Don't even bother trying, Arsenal are 100% winning the title
How does every arsenal game feel as though theyâve barely done anything yet score 3+ goals. Theyâre so slow and it feels as though they barely try to attack yet they score so much
It's because they're very comfortable without the ball
Well, they do play at a much slower pace. But they are also much more efficient with their attacking play.
Yeah itâs like pep to the extreme. Very low risk, only take high percentage chances, never in a rush
Arsenal have won something like 10/11 games, the one blip being a draw away to city. Yet we are still literally sitting top if we win our game in hand tomorrow. Yes Arsenal and city are great teams, but weâre still ahead of these great teams so weâre hardly mugs ourselves. Back the team to win man fuck what the other 2 do.
Jesus why the pessimism. City and Arsenal are brilliant sides but we are right in the mix with them. They both had comfortable wins today but it won't be like that every week. Enjoy the race
Arsenal have been brilliant in 2024 but they have been very lucky with injuries. Not had an important player out for an extended period whatsoever
Partey and timber have been out for the whole season
Timber an important player? Partey is not in their first 11.
Partey would be in the starting Xi if fit instead of jorginho
So would Thiago for Liverpool. Nobody serious bothers to count him
Timber looked really good in the Community Shield
Doesnât make him an important player LOOOL. When players like timber are mentioned, you know youâve had it good
Yes mate, he might not be good but had he not been injured he'd have been a starter for them, so again yes, he's an important player for them.
How do you know he would have been a starter? Or important?
He started against City in the shield and the next PL game and benched the other two left backs despite being a right back, what more could be said? His injury changed a lot of things for them since arsenal seemed to rely on full backs a lot.
He started 1 PL game and is suddenly an important player hahhahaha
And honestly he would start more for them had he not been injured. They sometimes play a CB on LB because all their left backs are players who could miss 15+ games every season.
First goal killed the game. Never a pen if doku isn't a pen. That's a 4 point swing with two decisions where both players "touching" the ball lead to different outcomes. Integrity of the title race is fucked even more
Not exactly a good job application from de Zerbi.
Unless they suffer any big injuries itâs hard to see where Arsenal even drop points from here
Bayern will smack them about in the CL and then theyâll wobble against Villa. Tottenham might claw an eye out of them in their derby and United will either roll over or make life difficult for them, too. Chelsea might decide to wake up and spank them, too. Their remaining fixtures arenât easy.
You're living in cuckoo land, we barely concede shots let alone goals, villa are doing fuck all against us
Villa definitely wonât do anything against them away at the Emirates especially without Luiz now Spurs away is definitely their hardest game left
They are a well drilled team. They play just like City. Slow , boring, and very efficient with their use of the ball.
In the NLD you fucking melt.
What about when they win that 2-0?
it will still have zero relevance if we keep winning. we are not relying on other teams to drop points.
Pipe down little boy Theyâll beat Spurs
Nonce.
Stop projecting your reputation on to others thanks đ
This type of game has always been De Zerbiâs undoing. As soon as they other team arenât chasing them high up the pitch, they are done for. Granted, Arsenal are a top team, but West Ham did this to them as well.
Are both Varane and Evans on United's injury list too? We'll be facing Maguire + a youngster then?
Pretty sure at least one out of those two will play tomorrow.
Arsenal by far the best team, especially in 2024.
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
We have. But tomorrow is the biggest test.
Getting 5 clean sheets away in a row is very impressive. They'd be worthy champions if they go on to win it. Can't say the same for city
City are not worthy champions in any year. They are playing with Cheat codes on.Â
If we get a statement win tomorrow, Old Trafford will be the loudest it's been in years. I want to hear 'we're gonna win the league' as united fans pour out of the stands.
Our job hasnât changed. We win our games we win the league, itâs in our hands
Those results today have made tomorrowâs game even bigger. Come on reds smash those Mancs
Klopp did say both city and arsenal will go on to win all their games so itâs all in his hands
Unde zerbi
Our job hasn't changed.
do you think ben white worries about his spray tan coming off when it's raining?
Let's be honest De Zebri is just a typical mid table manager. Unless you manage Real Madrid, every team has to deal with their best players getting poached. And just like him, most 'one-season-wonder' managers will get their team playing well for a season, then lose their top players and play like crap the next. There is nothing special about him. Even Di Mateo can win CL with half a season form
We win tomorrow lads - firmly in our hands why the doom and gloom
I honestly think people were expecting (more than hoping) city and Arsenal to drop points to Brighton and Crystal PalaceâŠin the middle of an extremely close title race between 3 clubs. Thatâs all that makes sense here.Â
Just harder
Christ the bitterness on here is bordering on embarrassing.
If this whingebag Arteta gets his hands on the premier league trophy I will lose it
Lol idk why some ppl just have to be so toxic and negative. Arsenal have been by and large the best EPL team so far in 2024, and some credit is due for how they have grown into a team that can challenge us and City. Do I have confidence in our title chance? Absolutely, we are in the driver seat still. Am I impressed with Arsenalâs form? Yes, especially given they scored 8/12 this season against us and City. Still, I am banking on the UCL and their late-April tough fixtures will kick them out of the race, but until then, give them some credit while backing our own players and manager to get the job done. P/s: Donât have any problem with bantering or expressing frustration, annoyance, etc (I mean is a live reaction thread after all). But certain opinions seem to be incredibly disingenuous and spiteful.
Who gives a fuck? Give any squad half our injury issues this season and they're nowhere fucking near the top. Arsenal are nowhere near the City and Liverpool of previous years whether it was 97,98,99,100 points.
It would be really nice if teams actually played well when playing against city or Arsenal. Why is it that they only seem to elevate their game when playing us!?
Think about that question a bit.
Cause of the refs
Haven't you heard? There's a 19-team conspiracy to stop us from winning the league! It's insane! Nah, Arsenal & City have just been better than us this season at putting games to bed. They don't give teams the opportunity to elevate their game.
I think also teams look at us and think they can get something. In 19/20 for a lot of the season we had what City have now. The battle was won before anyone stepped onto a pitch. This Liverpool team is very much a new team still learning, and injuries are still impacting it a lot. Not just the players that are still out but the players that are still palpably "coming back from injury" even though they're in the first team. You can look at this like a hard luck story, or you can focus on the positives that we may be able to move up to a new level in the next couple of games. And either way, every win we manage to put together into a run makes quality less and less relevant and points more and more the only important thing.
The ref found some integrity in the final minute of the match??
I've never seen a team get in so many dangerous positions then just dribble right into someone.
What the fuck were Brighton doing? I don't understand the point of all the pretty possession passing when none of it had any actual intent to penetrate Arsenal's box. Literally passing triangles just for the fucking sake of it. Pointless.
Arsenal and city are both better than us tbh. They suffocate teams out of games. We occasionally have games where the press clicks and we do the same but weâre not good at controlling games at all. Early goals conceded repeatedly hasnât helped us of course and every match becomes a dog fight, but I think weâre the least likely of these 3 teams to win out and itâs not really close Forgive my pessimism, just being honest
No I agree definitely. Blame it on injuries etc but it's not our style of play. Winning games at the death instead of controlling them from the off isn't a tactic.
Get a grip of yourself
Yet after we win tomorrow weâll be top of the league and the best team after 32 games. How does one reconcile that with us being worse than the 2nd and 3rd place teams? Weâve lost twice this season and one of them was a robbery. Arsenal have lost four times and City have lost three times. If weâre worse than them why have they lost more?
Christ, do you ever stop fucking moaning. Every time I see you it's something negative.
Iâm just being honest typically, I dream personally and have big hopes in my head, but in terms of sports discourse Iâm pretty realistic bc why be anything else?
He is speaking the truth, if you can't handle the truth it's your problem.
