ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 2

davek · February 28, 2019

We're in a position I'm just pleased to be in, given that they had the title in their hands two months ago if they'd beaten City (or even drawn with them): they now have City breathing down their necks, and they come to us this weekend...a team with a completely free hit that can do them a lot of damage.

<relaxed>

Pressure is all on them to preform.

He looks ridiculous. However, going round taking photies of strangers is a sad.

No, they need to be highlighted mate. My phone is full of sh1t like that.

Can I borrow some of that relaxed feeling? Although, the derby trots don't start until the morning of the game, these years. I just know we will have a new and inventive way to lose.

City coming out of this weekend one or two points ahead with 9 games to go would be a very nice position considering where they were before the game at the Etihad.

I hate to say this but I know an other club you could apply that to

Mate that's unfair on them clubs. I'm sure a few them have a win against Liverpool in last ten years despite not being in the league.

We're disgusting.

I think that relaxed feeling may translate to our performance. in fact I'd say they play like they double dropped Zanex.

Why don't you put your house on it then?

Knowing Watford would get tonked, I backed Liverpool to win, over 3.5 goals and Salah to score anytime in an enhanced odds treble last night.

They put 5 in and Salah blanks.
Gobshites.

Serves me right.

They HAVE to win. There's pressure on our lot to perform too, but it's not as intense as the pressure their players are under.

We'll see, but I think we can deny them all three points. Draws are certainly not beyond us in this fixture - 5 of the last 10 derbies ended in draws. That would be a big blow for them.

Maybe. Maybe not. That's the point though. We have a decent chance of a good draw at the very least.

That'll do me going into it.

Liverpool were 6 or 7 points ahead at one stage? I’ll take being one point behind and 10 games to go with man city.

If Everton gives a [Poor language removed] about Liverpool winning the title, they should at least give a decent effort.

I said in another thread today that 3 games in 6 days for City at this point of the season is a huge ask...especially with ET and pens at Wembley.

If they beat Bournemouth it'll be a huge victory.

The atmosphere on Sunday is going to be the best for many a year, they will bottle it big time.

Easy win for the mighty blue boys.

Should be an easy win really, Bournemouth have been hit badly by key injuries, other than that weird 4-0 against Chelsea they've been in free fall this calendar year.

I hope so, obvioulsy. But two games in 3/4 days after that brutally draining LC final is going to tell. They can rotate, but they have limits. Just look at how poor Mahrez was last night.

I said last night that City need a massive De Bruyne input of his best form to get through this period.
