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

Well if you use betting odds to detirmine favourites then yes, probably. I mean the fact that betting companies go with where the money goes, and we will presumably using ones in England, where Liverpool are probably the most financially backed club on the market then yes it will likely distort the market in their favour.

In the real world, as to who is or who isn't favourites, they start as underdogs.

More people in a county road ladbrokes will back Everton to beat City tonight, that won't make us favourites.

Not sure I agree with that last paragraph. Unless people near County Road are madder than I was led to believe.

My God, pass me the sick bag, these people forget what a terrible stain on English football these really are.
From Heysel to being declared the worst behaved fans in Europe, Fanta scruff, wank Buddha, ticket robbing, Michael Shields and so on and so on

The Guardian, Jonathan Liew

As Liverpool skipped and manoeuvred their way past a beautiful but brittle Leipzig in a thrilling, highly-strung last-16 first leg, it was possible to glimpse a vision of the game’s near future, or very possibly its present.

Daringly high full-backs, breathtaking switches in play, goalkeepers venturing halfway to the centre circle, a gripping 90-minute struggle for territory and momentum: perhaps this is just what football looks like now, at least at its elite end.

All I saw was RBL playing to their long ball tactics
 
I hope Carlo plays Pickford on Saturday, that will mess their heads up.
They’ll be expecting Pickford to be dropped and told to stay at home.
I wonder how many times we’ll hear about the Saint Virg injury while conveniently forgetting how he thought he was a hard case getting stuck in to DCL and James within the first 5 minutes of the previous derby, only to come a cropper when he tried it with Pickford.
These are poor, we have nothing to fear with the right attitude, stay tight at the back, we’ll defo score at least 2 against this horror cult

Where's the spew and vomit emoji?

You see opportunities where he is through on goal with the ball at his feet and space in front of him, yet with the slightest touch he goes down with theatrics.

He's clearly a very good finisher, so you wonder why he doesn't try to stay up and get a shot off.

If you see Burnley's 3rd goal at the weekend, that is something Salah is more than capable of doing, but he would never get the chance as he would have dived instead of brushing off the defender before the 1-2

If this is true, and to be fair I do think Liverpool would do that, then it shows what a manipulative narcissistic control freak he really is. German nationals can go to Germany for a bereavement but he would have had to isolate for 10 days on entry and then another 10 days when he came back. He chose not to. I thought the timing of the announcement of his mother's death was odd - not straight away but after the funeral he "couldn't" go to. He's given himself a free pass for the last month and their awful form now by manipulating the sympathy vote. I thought all of this at the time but considered myself to be a horrible person for even going there.

In my experience, if you think the worst of a kopite you generally won't go far wrong.
