ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

[DOMNOLAN]

Having no sport again would possibly make a few people take the lockdown more seriously ?

Nah, I think football quells people slightly. At this point you can't just take everything away from people, I'm not sure how long sentiment will last if you do that as anecdotally I'm seeing a lot of people's opinions shifting towards being against being locked up, and something might well tip that sentiment over the edge.

Na people would go worse imo
Its one of the few pleasures we have left

 

[number4.]

I think they’re certs for top 4. At the moment it looks like a three horse race for the title. City Liverpool United. I think United need to avoid losing at Anfield to have a chance. It could come down to who incurs more injuries second half of the season. If Fernandes De Bruyne or Mane go down those teams can kiss goodbye.

4th spot though is there for whoever grabs it. On paper it should be a shoot out between Spurs and Chelsea and I’d still fancy Spurs to take it. That said us and Leicester are still in there after 17 games so there’s no logic to say we can’t maintain this form for a whole season with our players returning to fitness and no europe in the second half.

If I had to put my house on it I’d say City, Liverpool, United, Spurs in that order. Jose will do enough.

What would be interesting though is if City can pull away over this next period and get a gap. Liverpool may then focus on the CL and might leave themselves open to the chasing pack.

I can see Jose going for the Europa league at the exp of top 4 personally.

 

[number4.]

Government will be hoping the PL continues. It's bread and circuses. The latitude handed to the game in this second wave is astounding.

one the flip side, if they cancel it, it will be a glorious distraction the next time they need it. I suspect they are keeping it up their sleeve for now.

 

[PaulPowersTash]

And they didn't even get a parade...

Give it time Yarrgh.
Give it time...

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

If United win and put 6 points into them let's see how they react.

Klopp will crumble.

Knowing how jammy the RS are they'll probably go out and beat the Manc's comfortably, then we'll have the media in wankfest mode again.

Probably.

But a lot of people are choosing to carry on as 'normal' anyway because they're not covered by furlough. Hence the data from teacher's unions that reveal that 25% of primary kids (because their parents are declared 'key workers') are in school now, as opposed to 3% in the first lockdown.

It wouldn't be surprising.
SKY & the Premier League have been dreaming about this situation for over a decade.
Can't see them letting slip now.

They've had a 9 day rest going into the fixture too.

It's so good I said it twice!

 

[PITA]

I mean... how many people have a dog called Dixie? lol

I'll beat them for all sorts of nonsense, cardboard cut outs etc... but not for calling your pet after a player

Good point. Used to have two cats called Ferguson and Amokachi.

 

[Saint Domingo]

They've had a 9 day rest going into the fixture too.

When they don’t win it’s either because they’ve not had enough rest, or they’ve had too much rest and their rhythm has been interrupted. Surprising how no other teams suffer these problems.

 

[davek]

Comical seeing that lot placing their hopes on a fit Matip.

I wonder what the optimum days, hours and minutes is between matches for the Kopites to be satisfied with?

I'm guessing that one of the loonies has attempted to calculate it too.
