I understand where Scouse is coming from completely. Chelsea have been on fire and will only be 6 points ahead, where as I personally don't think we're been close to being "on fire". We've been decent but the best is yet to come.

Just 6 ahead, while we were 8 behind the leader when the streak started. I believe this is important to mention.

That it is. 12 consecutive wins is a magnificent achievement in anybodys language and deserves far more recognition than it's getting. Not least from yourselves. Eerily quiet yesterday for a team that was on the verge and subsequently broke a club record.



Christmas done. Now back to the serious stuff of winning a league. Would of seemed like an eternity since Everton were it not for Sadio's winner making this or any other Christmas and then some! With Arsenal, Chelsea and City all winning, nothing more than returning the favour will do today in what should be a comfortable home win to keep the 22 game unbeaten home streak going. (15 wins. 7 Draws. 54 scored. 17 conceded. Fortress Anfield!). Ironically the last game we lost at Anfield was the League Cup semi against todays opponents back in January. (Although we ultimately reached the final with yet another shootout victory.). Stoke did get walloped 4-1 the league like 3 months later.

Would imagine it will be the same XI again with Matip still missing and Sturridge not having the match minutes under his belt. Although the weeks training since the Derby should have him that bit nearer. A fully fresh and firing Daniel Sturridge will be like a new signing in itself January. Still have him down as having a BIG part to play in this title quest but that's for the future. As regards today .....

3-0 to the rapacious Reds!

PLEASE tell me Klopp won't drop Firmino? REALLY relying on him to keep up momentum of my really good day of Fantasy Football yesterday (71 points; brought Carroll in, scored. Ibra captain. Sterling 2x assists. Pedro 1 goal + 1 assist. Courtois cs).

In 2nd in the money league I'm in, 21 points off top, with Clyne, Firmino, Walker & Son to play (unsure about Son starting too) - REALLY need Roberto to play. XD
 
Firmino plays! Cheers Klopp.

I do agree with Bujakaa, maybe dropping him was the right thing to do, but ZERO complaints from me, particularly if he nets.

Indeed, as long as a footballer wins matches, who the **** cares about the lives he could have ended with his brainless behaviour.
 
Weird game. Absolute dog **** for the first half. Worst half of the season by a Country mile. Yet lead 2-1 with two brilliant individual goals. Klopp tearing Mané a new one for stopping playing (admittedly after the yard dog LB had had three brutal kicks at him. FU OLIVER!) and letting said yard dog escape down the wing and not playing the whistle first half would of been the highlight among the ineptitude were it not for the goals.

Second half different again as yet another side against these Reds who put EVERYTHING they had into the first 30 were completely worn down into submission and dead on their legs physically. L'pool still FAR from their best second half but in COMPLETE control and FULLY deserved winners by the end. Michael Oliver outdid himself for complete base ineptitude with the worst refereeing display we've had the mispleasure of all season. And we've had Taylor. TWICE! So that's quite the achievement. Stoke still have that arl Pulis tendency to revert to outright shithousery. And not just on the pitch. 'Feed the Scousers' ...... Yers are from ******* Stoke lads! Irony and bellends. Seriously.

Strange day. 4 more goals scored. Average but still dominant L'pool. Three more points. Job done. Set's up City perfectly.

Shaky getting belted out the Kop most all second half was as bizarre as it was heartwarming. (H).

Up the Christmas Hit Reds!

*Edit* And Daniel Sturridge back doing what Daniel Sturridge does better than most anyone. Let's not forget that to sink hearts around the rest of the league even further!

Tell you what... it's great seeing the cancerous Johnson having a shocker for someone other than us today.

We are Liverpool tra la la la
 
That's SIX times we've scored 4 or more goals the league this season.

And we're not even half way through!

11 since Kloppo took over in the league alone!

Up the Great Entertainer Reds!

Spare a moment for the people working the game as well tomorrow!! I've had to take the car. Next issue is finding a place to park..

How'd the parking go la?

Had a good mooch round and it would appear they've now classed virtually everywhere within this new zone residents only. BUT there's still the free bays up signed. So you're on safe ground if you're in one of those even if they try ticket yers. Presumably they'll go too but for now they're still around.

Got a mate who lives near Goodison who had a free drive all day so parked it there mate
 
Hammered 4-1 by #LFC but Hughes still claims others will want to copy Stoke's Anfield approach

10:00 pm - 27 Dec 2016

Hope so mate 'cos yers ultimately got smashed!

Seriously, Useless doesn't half talk some *****. You did nottin' different to what's becoming the standard opposition approach against these Reds. Save for you did it slightly better and were unlucky not to go 2 up. Teams know in the main they can't take L'pool on over 90 minutes so they put EVERYTHING they have into the first 30/40 and hope to get a couple clear and then just sit in when they're goosed. But if they don't (and L'pool are getting far better at being patient, believing in themselves, staying composed and riding it out the more and more they see it) they've burnt themselves out around the half hour- 40 minute mark and L'pools far superior fitness takes over and they dominate second half.

The good thing along with that is the crowd is becoming more patient the more we see the same script and know the outcome.

The downside is we've now completed knackered another team out for Chelsea Sat'day haha.

But what happens at Chelsea isn't in our hands. City is and that's ALL that matters!


Talking of how much fitter these lads are, this is a great article if anyone has the time on the other massive signing we made from Munich this past summer who doesn't get any of the attention Kornmayer does. But who's playing just as vital a role in that regard:

What are your thoughts on the goal we conceded?

Not arsed as they scored one and we scored FOUR! (H).

Sloppy. Poor defending. Poor goalkeeping. Same the Allen chance that should of been 2 but Mignolet redeemed himself there. Even worse to concede to SUCH a yard dog like Walters. (Just HOW he stayed on the full 90 is anyones guess not called Michael ******* Oliver!).

The whole team started slow when Stoke just went full pelt early. Took until a good half hour but after that I thought Klavan and Lovren finally worked out they weren't gonna' win the aerial dual against those two, dropped off, and defended them comfortably the rest of the way.
 
Klopp has said he hasn't watched city this season, and said of Guardiola being at Anfield that maybe he just wants to watch a good game of football.

Made me laugh because I say the same in FM when someones scouting my team or one of my players

Lol. Great mutual respect. Brilliant to have those two competing against each other again.

Fixing to be a boss occasion Sat'day. As big a joke as the half 5 KO is for BT, the one thing it adds is people will of had quite a few bevvies before hand being New Years and all so the arl place should be absolutely bouncing.

City are well beatable right now but Peps Pep so you NEVER count on anything against his side.

Can't see West Brom, who where absolutely gone physically yesterday second half, doing anything at Chelsea so it's another must win for both sides in what should be a feast of attacking footie all things being equal.

Cant wait to round out an utterly fantastic 2016 for LFC with that one.
