The Liverpool Thread

[RhQQ]

Just seen this pop up on Twitter. Thought it'd be of interest, certainly interested me because of these post I shared a while back:

That’s some stat Mike. Could be talking out of my **** here, but do you reckon it’s something to do with how narrow/small the pitch is? I know to some an extra 400sqm mightn't seem a lot, but it is when you're out there. Looking at some of the smaller ones, likes of Anfield, Stamford Bridge, Selhurst and Goodison are some of the toughest aways in the league. Maybe if you’re so used to it, on top of it being closer to the fans, it makes it extra tricky for away visitors.

Over the last 2 seasons, Liverpool average 1.33 points per game on pitches bigger than 7000sqm. On smaller pitches, they average 2.6 points per game. Anfield is 6868sqm. Of the remaining 6 away games, 5 are on pitches smaller than Anfield and Southampton is 6936

Makes sense if you think about it. Pressing team benefits from a smaller pitch because they have less space to cover. If your main attacking outlet is wings and quick striker making quick runs behind defense, then you need a bigger pitch.

Whilst I fully appreciate our World wide fanbase were all frothing at the mouth for Utd last week; for the majority of us either from or still in the City THIS one is the one you look forward to and want to win EVERY season more than any other.

Time to **** all over the shites Cup Final yet again Redmen. And send the absolute fraud that is Marco Silva another step to the unemployment line.

If yers can find another wickedly cruel way to ruin their miserable little existence for another 6 months at least like Sadio and Divock have recently all the better.

Since 1995 ......


Up the blue heartbreaking Reds!

Do City have any other songs apart from singing about us?

Didn’t see it but no surprise reading that. Must be a Manchester thing but at least we actually have a thing with Utd.

City’s complete L’pool obsession ever since last years CL walloping, and mad attempt to create a rivalry that’s never been there and never will be; has been as hilarious as it is slightly creepy.

Which song?

Which song?

The Allez song which is in poor taste anyway for obvious reasons.

Boss touch giving Trent the match ball from Wednesday for his hatty of assits.

Great seeing him at the 18s game this morning too as he often is when time allows. Along with Ben Woodburn. The togetherness right through the club is as strong as its been in years.

An aside from that doing of Blackburn-

Bobby Duncans treble puts him level with Glatzel on 24 for the year. Both are gona’ end up with well over 30 goals a-piece at this rate. With both well into double figures in assists. Phenominal partnership.

Wont see the best of him for atleast 2 seasons. ACL is one of the hardest injuries to return from.

Definately not something I’d like to speculate on as every individual’s body is different.

Just brilliantly mad to see this rapid rate of progress.

Just the general consensus when it comes to these kinds of injuries. Its not the progress from the injury which is briliant from Alex but the player getting back to the same level as it takes a good year or two. Some players dont ever recover as its such a complicated injury. Hopefully the fans dont expect too much from Alex.

The physical recovery isn't actually that quick. Medical work has come one leaps and bounds. What takes much longer usually is match ability. Jury is very much still out.

This 100%.

As noted above, I wouldn’t like to speculate. By all accounts he’s lost none of his burst and speed, which is the main thing, and has returned to team training like he’s never been away.

But we’ll see where he’s at when the matches come around. The main aim was always for him to back for pre-season so the rapid progress to date is a major bonus.

The bold is always good to hear, but its the heavy lateral movement in football that will be a massive test, hopefully he passes it over the rest of the season

He needs to be given the rest of the season as a freebie, and not expected to be as good as he was before.
