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

[davek]

My guess is it’s more RS 15/27 points this year and city 24/27 .

If you include cup games :

RS 11 games 4 draws , 4 wins and 3 defeats
City 15 games 14 wins and 1 defeat .

I’m not saying the RS are crap because far from it they aren’t but this year, 2019 , city have been significantly better . Hence why from those rats strolling to the title at the very least we’ve got a genuine race .

Exactly.

And this Sunday is a chance to trip them up I never expected two months ago.

Let's hope these players, who owe us, take it.

Hopefully City do the business early against Bournemouth and then the pressure will be on Liverpool to come out against us. Knowing our luck though City will choke giving Liverpool a free swing at us.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

If that was a big marker, how would you describe City's demolition of Chelsea 6-0?

Fantastic from City dave, but a lot people said the RS were bottling it, they weren't handling the pressure, Klopp was losing it, to answer all that with a 5-0 win IMO is putting a marker down to the people questioning them, up to us now.

I HOPE you’re right but it’s the hope that kills you . By the time I’m half cut rushing up spellow lane to make z cars though I suspect I’ll feel a bit more confident, well I’m hoping so at least .

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Nah , they done what they always do . Batter average teams with no spine at anfield.

Was a tricky game on paper mate, I bet a fair few on this thread were saying Watford would get something out of the game.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Pretentious mid table teams who think they can have a go are literally Klopp’s favourite opposition. Bottom sides have a better chance at Anfield than teams like Bournemouth Watford Wolves etc. who try and play out.

Let's hope we don't fall into that category on Sunday mate.

I was talking to a good mate whose a RS about this game and same as Bournemouth we both felt they’d stroll it. They’re opponents that are made for them , big day at anfield and playing the ‘right way’ . Don’t get me wrong that doesn’t mean I didn’t hope they’d sneak something. All the RS will be applauding Watford’s open style just like Eddie howe’s , to me it was nothing if not predictable. They have two tests this week, United and us . Four points would be great four them one or two would be a failure , let’s hope it’s the latter not the former .

Nah. Its just a perfunctory win over a decent but middling PL team. It stops their rot...but their problem is that they dont score a lot in every game...hence the damaging draws. Not nearly enough wins like this for them, and hopefully it catches up with them.

I've said and I stick to my prediction that they'll sneak the title and I make them favourites. But that's only because I see City taking on too much. The game time is murderous and the injuries will hurt them.

I always have a feeling City have a slip up in them, especially with, as you say, them taking on too much.

That’s my worry , I think the RS will drop points but despite city being the stand out team I do worry they’ll drop some along the way .

I do. If this was last season's City I'd crown them champions now even if they were 5 points behind.

It'll be tight - and I'm hoping for a big De Bruyne surge in the remaining games - but I see City's superstars eyeing up the CL more than the PL.

 

[JLW]

No matter what, we have to be loud, noisy, toxic, and more importantly support for the full 90 mins regardless how good or bad we play! save the criticism (if there is any) until after the game.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

That’s my worry , I think the RS will drop points but despite city being the stand out team I do worry they’ll drop some along the way .

It's really weird, Man City have a fantastic team, play great footy, but I always have the feeling that they have more of a slip up in them than the RS.

A dead cat bounce, Lou.

In the midst of our horrible run since Anfield we won 5-1 at Burnley

The only person craving attention is you. Now bore off

Give over. I’m as entitled as anyone else to post my opinions. Dare to go against the grain and you’re called a Kopite. Now, that is boring.
