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

[Toast]

Messi's legacy is [Poor language removed] because of one performance? You pair of absolute maniacs.

Knocks in hat tricks against ale house teams and too scared to leave Spain.

They were 3 - 0 up from the first leg. He thought he could coast and then he couldn't handle the pressure. He looked scared after the second went in.

Ronaldo would have led like a captain.

 

[Walken]

Maradona or Ronaldo would have never bottled that game.

Puts his career in perspective now.

He can score another 600 goals and all I'll remember is him shrugging his shoulders against the rs and allowing evil to prosper

It's all about character.

It's one thing to knock in goals against the little clubs of La Liga every week but you look to your main man at half time and he's about to soak his shorts then that's just not good enough for me.

Might as well throw his medals in the bin.

Shat himself in front of a noisy crowd, unforgivable. Cristiano Ronaldo would’ve got a grip of that game and done that lot irrespective of the Messi-Ronaldo argument

Is right mate.

All very good all the stats fans lapping up percentages but you can't measure will to win.

 

[Xizor]

Who had 'triple goalkeeping error' in this week's sweepstake?

 

[kenada_blue]

Piss test the lot of them.

Dalglish says it tastes fine.

Dear God don't let Sammy Lee know !!!

Well, even when they play terribly they win, time and time again. They win at all costs, constantly. They have an almost unparalleled pattern of grinding out the results. 18 on the spin, jesus. When did we last even win 3 games on the spin? Have we ever even won more than about 6 on the spin in the past 30 years? Ffs, the sooner some other team improves the better.

 

[MikeH72]

Genuinely dont think any if this would be happening if messi hadn't flapped it at anfield, thats his legacy to me

That game was an adrenaline shot for them. They now believe they will win any game from any position, they're not even arsed about going behind anymore, as soon as they concede all the mutants just start singing the LIIIIIVERPOOOOOL dirge and the players just crack on as if nothing's happened. A dangerous time for all concerned.

They have total belief after that Howler by our clown of a GK, that anything is possible,it set them on the road to the title.

Still think the Barca second leg was a bigger watershed moment. If they finish last season trophyless then no way this season pans out the way it has.

Edit: We've won 3 on the spin in the league three times since the start of 2017, last time being Chelsea, West Ham, Arsenal, March-April 2019.

4 on the spin was August-September 2016 (West Brom, Stoke, Sunderland, Boro).

We won 7 on the spin in March-April 2014 (West Ham, Cardiff, Swansea, Newcastle, Fulham, Arsenal, Sunderland). We haven't put a better run together since (won 6 in the row in October-November 2002, in March-April 1987 and December 1986-January 1987). Wow - December 1986 - April 1987 was a golden 4 months.

Our best run of form in the last 35 years was winning 9 out of 10 between 21st December 1985 and 1st March 1986, with one draw in there too.

I couldn't be arsed scrolling any further back.
