How does anyone get such an inferiority complex?

Embarrassing.

They have an excellent record against us in this fixture but this is Liverpool, the team that routinely plays poor against utter tripe, the one that hasn't won a domestic title for 27 years. They are not one of the heads of state in our game.

At least we will have vastly different team than the cowards of the last few years...

Liverpool could be bottom three and we still wouldn’t turn up and play our usual game whether we were in good form or bad. Even when we had an arguably better team than them we couldn’t win.
I don’t understand how Sam’s sports psychologists are meant to give the players belief when the owner already has it chalked as a defeat in his seasons predictions.

I HATE it when I see posts like "we'll get something here" , "we're due a win" or "can see us getting a result".

I expect a battering and a humiliation every time we play them because I've built my hopes up way too often and it's best for my sanity that I expect to lose.

If we get on the scoresheet I believe we can get a draw at least.

Been getting told for about a month how much they are looking forward to tw@tting us, i said we'll see.I just want us to turn up for once and get stuck into them, be in the refs face from the 1st minute and have some luck for once against the horrible c@nts.Come on blues don't f@ckin dare let us down and kill them.

Though I do think we'll get something their, surely we are due a win but if not I can see us getting a result.

Not sure if you’re addressing fans or the players here? From a fans point of view I’m not sure it’s fair to label it an inferiority complex because any sane, rational person would look at our derby record, particularly in the premier league era, and expect that a loss on Sunday is likely. We’ve had much better teams and they’ve had much worse, yet we’ve still lost. It’s the players and managers who have let us down in this game. Not us fans.

I haven’t seen one compelling argument for us securing a victory on Sunday. Most people who are positive seem to be saying “they have a feeling”. This isn’t Star Wars and the force isn’t strong with us. I agree that people resigning themselves to 5-0 defeats before a ball has even be kicked is a little OTT as we’re not playing PSG and we are the only team this season to hold Manchester City in the league which proves that we can formulate a solid game plan and we got a good point from that game- I’d be perfectly happy with the same on Sunday. But surely you can understand why people are apprehensive about this game and don’t fancy giving it large on a forum and being a blue cheerleader? We’ve done it all before and it doesn’t go so well.

The best thing would be to attempt to be objective about this fixture. They’re in good form, we’ve got two wins in a row and two clean sheets. They overall have a better team, particularly in attack, and are at home. Both defences aren’t great, who’s is worse is debatable. Rooney should be up for it. Footy innit. Win, lose or draw. Only one of those three can happen. Three points for a win, one for a draw.. jumpers for goalposts and all that.

Around 2:30PM Sunday.........

Indeed i'd say Anfield, will be emptying out with 20 minutes to go.As that Cork fan (this one will go right over your heads, if you don't watch gaelic football) said in their trashing of Kerry in the 1990 Munster final.Lock the gates and make the effers watch!

 

[streeky]

Keep it tight for half an hour and you never know. They try to put teams away early.

 

[ADT]

just set out to 'accidentally' injure everyone but the defenders so not only do we win, but we finish above them and sabotage their season

 

[crockyblue79]

11/1 we are with some bookies to win,biggest price ever to win a derby.

 

[Zezti]

maybe they'll be tired

 

[evertony]

It's bad enough that we've had to appoint Allardyce, without advocating that we adopt the tactics of Tony Pullis too.

We really couldn't sink any lower.
