Lowensda Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 He's taking the pressure off the players. He thinks they can but they need better players (in some positions) to truly challenge. They're squad isn't big/good enough yet. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nikica Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 At this stage I'm thinking Liverpool will finish third - they could even make second as they have the top teams at home and when you have the likes of Suarez in your team you can beat anyone at home (although I think they'll drop a few silly points which will cost them). I like Arsenal but a collapse always looked on the cards with their injury list and really difficult fixture list. Perhaps they will pleasantly surprise me but it doesn't look good.

johnh Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 See Liverpool got their weekly penalty, though they left it late this week. Who dived? The match report in my paper didn't say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 See Liverpool got their weekly penalty, though they left it late this week. Who dived? The match report in my paper didn't say. Suarez....it was definitely a pen but he still went for dragging his leg into the defenders to emphasise the point.....ie he got tripped, started to go down and flung out his right foot so that he was tripped again. His theatricality is costing him in the long run though. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Is there any truth in the rumour that the FA are bringing out a new rule: If at the end of 90 minutes Liverpool haven't been awarded a penalty, then there will be a penalty shoot out with Liverpool allowed to take one penalty. With the exception of the goalkeeper, the opposing team have the option of staying on the pitch to watch or return to the dressing room.

His theatricality is costing him in the long run though. Unfortunately not. OptaJoe @OptaJoe[/size] 4m 8 - Since the start of last season, only 6 teams have won more penalties than Luis Suarez. He has won 5 more than any other player. Regular OptaJoe @OptaJoe[/size] 18m 5 - Only Crystal Palace & Everton (six each) have conceded more penalties than Arsenal this season. Clumsy. He personifies the difference between us. Maybe we should moan at refs, dive more and change the sport to cheatball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 I see Liverpool got three penalties, you couldn't make it up. They also dived twice but the ref didn't give them, didn't book the players who dived either. Refs are never going to solve diving unless they book players for diving. They don't hesitate to book defenders (red or yellow) when they give a penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cork Evertonian Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) I think Liverpools supporters,current players and former player are totally losing the run of themselves over hammering an average United team managed by a manager who is hopelessly out of his depth.The hubris meter coming out of that tourist trap on the other side of the park is ready to explode!Hopefully Liverpools arrogance will prove to be their undoing.I still think Man City or Chelsea are better bets for the title.

Dalziel Kane Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Said it before, and say it again, it was only a few short months back that Liverpool were a mess and providing weekly humor to a nationwide audience and Rogers was a sure bet for termination, and look at them now, damn fine reversal of fortune however you feel personally. They want to win the league championship again so much and while realize it probably won't be this season, they'll take heart from this seasons endeavors and come back strong next year with some fine acquisitions in the close season. Make no mistake about it, I can't stand the club in question, and wish them nothing but failure and misfortune, but hard as it is to admit, they deserve some level of credit for turning the ship around.

johnh Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Can't remember where I read it but apparently there are only six Premiership teams who have been awarded more penalties this season than Suarez on his own. Fearthainn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalziel Kane Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Took a last look at the league table and it's too close for comfort so long as these... are concerned. These fucks could actually win the league this year, and that's what keeps me more on edge than I already am. It would be a nightmare scenario. Gone from a poor disjointed team that often struggled and a center of ridicule, into credible title winners in what seems no time at all. Rogers has had his detractors, but credit to the individual in turning things around, that is one rapid transformation That only leaves two others in with a realistic chance of being league champions. I fail to recognize one of those in question, so all riding on MCFC to take the league and prevent some colossal distaste and disappointment.

Guest Nikica Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 They could indeed win the league. It will probably rest on the two home games against Man City and that blue team from London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gethinO Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Want to hear other people's opinion on this. Would you rather Everton to finish 5th and Liverpool to finish 2nd/3rd or Everton to finish 4th and Liverpool champions? It could happen as us and them want to play city. It's a horrible situation.

I honestly think I would rather Everton finish 5th. What are your thoughts? Liverpool champions ? That would just about send me over the fucking edge. Everton to finish fifth and those to get a second or third place finish - no contest. No matter what is said I'd happily miss out on a champions league place if it constituted them not winning the league title. I don't live in the Merseyside vicinity but can only imagine the pain and anguish fellow blues would endure (in Liverpool) if they were to become league champions once more. If having tangible distaste for Liverpool Football Club and wanting them to fail at every opportunity is a sin, then guess I'm guilty of it. Sorry, but it would be a nightmare scenario if they were to win the league title, and sincerely hope Manchester City do it and beat that other evil from West London in the process.

Hafnia Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Don't wreck my head but I know this goes against logic but I do not want them winning that title. I would take 5th... Crazy I know. This season they have been outstanding, they really have. Their forwards have been devastating and Suarez for me is possibly the most "valuable" player in the world. Not the best - valuable. I can't see one of the elite not coming in for him after this season, if that happens they are back to square one. Even with £80m to replace him. If they win the league this year they will win a few over the next few years, as they will retain him. Aghhhhh,they have a habit of pissing on our parade.
