Liverpool Thread - Premier League Champions* 2019/20

Great call by commentator on Torres - "Lots of highlights in his hair, but not many on the pitch."

The Racist Derby was quite a decent match from a neutral perspective (well, I just didn't want Chelsea to win as I think they are eminently catchable).

Two homes losses in a row for Chelsea for the first time in 9.5 years...

Great result lads. Brilliant interpassing for first goal , Glen J take a bow for the second!!

HUGE result, stoked for you lads! 4th is only separated by GD!

Kenny Dalglish - when asked about Chelsea's team selection and he replied that he had enough trouble picking his own sqaud rather than worry about another teams.

How many times does Hendo have to do really well playing in the middle coming on as a sub to earn a start there...

Agree totally on this one, I really dont see him as a wide player. When he came on against chelsea he did do well but I wasn't too sure where he was ment to be playing! Maybe Kenny said just run about son!

Great result yesterday! Always knew there would be a winner for either side at about the 75min mark, it just didn't look like it would end in a draw. Good stuff starting with Maxi and Bellars, they did a great job. Skrtl was really good at the back and puts a lot of pressure on Carra now.

I thought we missed Stevie early in the second, when they scored and piled the pressure on. Just needed his steadying hand a bit but the lads did well to hold off.

It's going to be such a tight season, all will be decided on goals. Who gets them and who keeps them out.

Bring on Citeh!

Great game to watch, that. Lucas was a beast in midfield, unfortunately for us Hart was a beast in the goal for them...

Agree with that totally, lucas was amazing! just needed one of those half chances to go in! Pretty good team performance thou!

Also Kenny getting in there at the end to shake hands with mancini and gesturing about balotelli throwing out his dummy! now just to find that gif!

I  Lucas.

Given what Citeh have done to some teams this season we can't really be disappointed. Funny enough though, I'm a little gutted we lost. Another stunning spell from a visiting keeper the difference.

All of our of lads were great today. Team work.

I am trying to get a couple of tickets to a match at Anfield, as a favour to the guy who took me to see Ajax play recently.  Does anyone have any ideas what the best way for me to get these is?  I had a quick look at the website and it seems to only sell packages, and not just a single ticket, and I have already had to become an Arsenal member to get a ticket to one game there - don't want to have to do the same with Liverpool if I can help it.

Any advice would be appreciated.

You could try these guys Official NZ LFC fan club they have direct links with the club and ticketing.

All well connected Reds who regular help put the feelers out for tickets. "Kiwi in need of tickets... etc".

Call the Stadium ticket office: http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/travel/first-time-to-anfield/match-tickets Again, I've heard the "Kiwi traveller in desperate need of a ticket" has worked before.

Lucas was immense.

John Corson is president, he's based in Dunners, should email him. How many people on here are members? Liking the new newsletter? haha

I was amazed at how many headers lucas won! He is usually not that great in the air.

Chelsea takes it up the arse , doo dah

The King's army marches on! Booyah!

Lucas off with a dicky knee- hopefully OK but unclear at mo'.

Yep , fair point but he has come through a fairly dodgy start to his EPL career to ( IMO) being almost first name on the team sheet .More power to the lad for overcoming the boo boys Jazzman2011-11-30 15:32:12

I'll hold my hand up there and say I didn't rate him. Never forget how angry I was when he gave a pen away, against wigan when we were so so close to catching utd in 08 - 09. But full credit to him since mash left he has really stepped up and turned into an absolute rock in the midfield.

I'm sure there are loads of supporters out there that have one or two players in their team that they don't rate personally, but if they can turn it around good on them and the coaching staff.

Could well be our next captain, the more I think about it the better the fit appears to be.

Atm yes I agree, will be interesting to see if lucas is injured who fills in there and how they go.

City away. Good luck with that.

Bugger, City in the semis will be tough. We can do it though!

Congrats to Cardiff and especially Palace though, big achievement from both of them.

Will be good to meet them in the final!

Anfield second leg......

Fixed for you , EN

Bring it Citeh! We always play best when we've got our backs to the wall. We won't back down.

On Lucas, I raise my hand. I wasn't convinced in the early days but fortunately the kids got balls and he's proved me wrong. Don't mind saying it at all and now I'm as loyal as any. Lucas is boss. He's going to be missed more than we know and wouldn't be surprised if he's out for the season we'll go shopping in Jan.

It looks like we play Citeh 3x in Jan, 2x FA Cup, Stoke and Wolves. Feb is Spurs, United, Everton, Aresnal in row or something crazy like that.

Tbf about the whole Lucas thing he was playing sh*te at the start. Although that will generally happen with a kid playing a NEW role in a foreign country. Lucky for us his class and strength of character shone through. Really gutted for him atm.

Lets hope spearo can step up to the plate, he's more than capable imo (I assume thats what will happen?)...we may even see Stevie playing a defensive role when(if) he returns.

Loving this!

Where's the hardcore RAWK crew, it's not a red banner, with white text! Take it down

On Lucas, I always backed him, mainly because when he came over he was Brazilian player of the year, U21 Captain and mentioned as the next star of the Gremio line after Ronaldinho.

jono recalled, talk of lucas being out for the rest of the season.   

I guess we're about to find out just how important Lucas is to Liverpool.

Edit: just saw the stat that since the beginning of the 2010/11 season you have won 48% with him starting and 29% without.

Could be a tough month or so until you get in a proper replacement. And I don't mean recalling:

Rest of the season

Gutted big lost
