Liverpool Thread - Premier League Champions* 2019/20 (Part 2)

Man u come good...Spurs are starting to drop....the formula stays the same I guess.....keep winning!

That's it mate. Since utd are visiting us next weekend, our destiny is in our hands. Every game is pretty crucial from here, starting with Swansea tomorrow!

Hendo to the rescue!!!!

Huge result, massive game coming up this weekend now! Are there plans to meet up or is it too early?

2:30am on Monday isn't it?

Monday off so I'm keen wherever!

2.30am kickoff is a bit brutal but meh. Get in! 

It might be cup of tea, PJs and Premier League Pass for that one. I'm all for beating Scum but I'm also all for sleep

Haha and fair enough. Up to aucks monday arvo for the cricket on tuesday. Sport fiesta!

I am finding all of this sport exhausting...completely exhausting. 

Weren't there a few delayed meetups towards the end of last season, where The Pub would show the game delayed at about 6.30am? I would be very keen for that if that's a possibility, otherwise I'll be watching it in bed also.

Mingolet has made a 180 degree turn in his performances since being dropped. Any keeper is subject to the odd clanger but 6 consecutive away clean sheets now. Last time this happened was 1973 and has only even happened 3 times in LFC history

The change to 3 at the back has certainly worked wonders too. Masterstroke by BR. 

I wonder how Man Yoo will line up against the formation.

You'd imagine he'd stick with the long ball given LFCs early season defensive shambles...are we up to it now? The free flowing football they played against Spurs is likely to go back on the shelf I reckon given the speed of our counter attacks.

Legit? If so, thoughts?

Loving the white kit.

I quite like those kits. I'll definitely be getting one of the new kits ahead of the game in Brisbane in July.

Great three points for us....massive game ahead on Monday huh? Jump Man U into 4th! Come on you reds...good reds, not the bad ones

I think we're definitely better organised at the back thus should be hopefully able to deal with whatever they come up with. 

The 3 centre back set up seems to be allowing Mignolet to get back to what he's best at which is shot-stopping, not organising. This has helped him get his confidence back too!

Huge game!

Ooooo I like these!

Massive game tonight, pretty pumped!

Yep, huge!

Oh Stevie.......

He lasted longer than the Perth player - Zadkovich (17 seconds) against us! Gerrard lasted 38 seconds.

Tough result. Outplayed which makes it worse. Merrrrrrrr. 

Liverpool can beat Man City to second place - Brendan Rodgers

We play SO well until the moment BR opens his gob. Good manager but has the curse of the commentator gene.

It does seem that way!

Steven Gerrard's pitch map yesterday

Take away the last result (we had to play really bad for united to get a 2-1 win...silver lining) - do you think BR has done enough to stay on?

From the issues late last season and early this season in performance drop offs and inability to change tactics, i think he has learnt a lot. Do we stick with a guy who I think will go on to be a top manager (maybe a few years from now) OR do we want quicker results?

From where we were when he took over and FSG took over, we are better off as a club, performances are improving (albeit 3 steps forward, 1.5 steps back sometimes), we have an upgraded stadium underway and the youth policy is starting to pay off in some areas. 

I'd like him to stay personally.

I'd like to see him retained. A bit of stability goes a long way and I don't think Pep would be that interested in the job.

Sterling...

If he's really holding out, call his bluff and let him go. He's been ok this year but not spectacular and any of the teams mentioned (Chelski, City, Real) he'd play most games from the bench if at all.

I get that he's talented but we don't need that crud.

Seen a rumour from a pretty reliable source (one of the editors on the same site as Macca Rumours) that Sterling is expected to stay but the bigger factor will be who is in charge next season, not so much the money.

I would suggest that Sterling wants title/cup challenges and more than that, wants to be playing in his position, not fitted in as a striker or RWB as Rodgers has been using him. 

Faaaarrrrkkk! Should have taken a totally undeserved lead there.

Hmmm working our way slowly into the game here......

Aaaaand fudge × 2

hehehe :-)

FML - bedtime. 

Lame. Bottled it after getting in a good position to push for CL next season. Based on the last 2 games, probably don't deserve it. Ruing that shark pass from Markovic to Sterling when it was still scoreless. We got humped well and truly but a goal there and who knows? 

FA cup to hopefully give us something to cheer about and give Stevie a send off.

Stevie has had enough send off I think

You guys need to regroup and Fire up asap. Need to get to 4th .

Might be grumpy because of an early start this morning too but nah, we're gone. 

Thank fudge my phone remembered for me because if I had have got to work an hour early as well then there may have been trouble!
