For a team that apparently
isn’t in a title race and has no chance of winning the league (STOP laughing at the back), that was another belter day out with the Jurgen’s Red Army.

Yanno’, I said last week, among all the ridiculous, WAY OTT negativity on-line (see above), that I didn’t know anyone going to Fulham (or back home watching for that matter), who wasn’t totally up for the title fight. And the away end bore that out yesterday with song after song. Culminating, with gusto, of rousing renditions of ‘’
We’re gonna’ win the Football League AGAIN!/ ….. And now you’re gonna’ believe us, We’re gonna’ win the League!’….. Now, we might not win out. Or we might win out, and still fall a smidgeon short. But the point is we are
RIGHT in a title fight and we believe in our team.
Superb from L’pool on the pitch. Not perfect by any means. But the pressure of a run-in rarely is. Atalanta put down the foundations getting us out of that short losing blip. And yesterday took that on another level to getting back to the dominant L’pool we all know and love. I was fuming at HT that a moment of self-inflicted carelessness undid all the good first-half work. But that second half was as good as anything in weeks. Belter goals. Dominance in most every facet. Klopp superb again at HT. Back joint top the league. Away days don’t get much better.
Its mad to think, for all the OTT narking on-line that went way beyond just going out of Europe, we are two wins away from coming out of this massive week with FOUR straight away wins. Not too shabby for a team in ‘crisis’ aye?
Oh, Euston was far more peaceful than feared. With the Mancs on our train home not too bad. What I learnt from them ….. They pretty much hate life at the minute.
They want the manager gone. They are mixed on Ratcliffe as he gave the Glazers an out and kept them in power. They absolutely detest Rashford, one of their own lest we forget, with a passion. And they hate the title race as they don’t want any of the three to win the league. All this after, albeit shambolically, reaching another Cup Final!
And some of our fans think we have problems …..
Arsenal started their massive week with a win. We’ve now stepped up and matched. Time to really put the pressure on City by going 4 clear of them Wednesday.
‘The Big Six’ now becomes the ‘The Big Five.’ One down, two to go in the pivotal league week of L’pool’s season
The manger believes. The players believe. Everyone at the match believes. The question is, if you don’t, do you want to stop fealing sorry for yourselves and enjoy this ride to its fullest like the rest of us?
I know what I’d rather do.
UTR!
FTT!!!!!
