Just get the three point that is all. Arsenal losing today is a blessing as Utd still have a chance for top 4, just need them to hold City to a draw at least.
Live in hope. Die in despair mate. I can't see it as now the new manager bounce has passed, they've reverted to what they are. A seriously average football team as dire as Mourinho had them. But stranger things have happened and after today's carnage, they'll surely be super fired up to reclaim some local pride Wednesday?
My big hopes are the last three for City dropping. Mainly Burnley as we know what a horrible ____house Dyche is. He'll be all out to F City up and kick the living daylights out of them. Brendan's trying to make a name for himself again down here so Leicester should have a decent go. And Brighton may well need something that final day to stay up. Just need them to drop one game .....
As for the mighty Reds, you're seriously running out of things to say about this superb group. That's a record point haul the PL now mate for LFC. 27 seasons the PL been in existence. Our previous total best was 86. We currently sit on 88 points with 3 to play! Only twice in our storied history have we topped 90 points in a season. TWICE in 127 years! And Friday night we'll beat the previous best L'pool side to do that in all likelihood when we play Huddersfield. Kenny's great '87/'88 side totalled 90 points. (40 games.). The all-time record, if you convert 2 points for a win to 3, is the '77/'78 side that recorded 98 points. But that was a 42 game season.
Said it the other day, it'll be a travesty for either ourselves our City to lose this battle. The best the English top flight has ever seen to this ridiculous level. But someone has to and hopefully, it'll be them. With the most complete, controlling Liverpool side, that just doesn't have any weakness' back-to-front, in my 39-year match going lifetime finally returning us to the top of the mountain.
Mad to think we'll probably get 97 points and that may not be enough. But that's the standard now after City raised the bar last season and I can't see anything other than the two of us pushing 90 plus points next season and subsequent ones. So far ahead of the chasing pack are both clubs right now.
To think absolute imbeciles were calling this side 'bottlers' a few games back. Seriously.
Alisson's 19th clean-sheet on the year today. 2 more the last three and he'll beat Reina, who sits 3rd all time the PL era on 20 back in '05/'06. (And equal van der Sar's 21 from back in '08/'09.). Big Virg is getting all the accolades but he's been as important as anyone in taking us over the top. The defence never was half as bad as was made out under Klopp as you know. He's improved it season-on-season. They never gave up many big chances per game. Just the ones they did invariably went in as the major problem between the posts was never of any significant standard. Now, with one of the best goalies the World over back there, not so much.
6 more mate to become the first English club to achieve a League/ European Cup double 3 times. Roll on Friday and a rocking Anfield.
LTOTL. LLTOTL!
Up the Relentless Reds!
