The only way we can win the league is by dominating it. Any close race will end in favor of City or a London club. Our chances to win are very small, but they do exist—like this season.
I believe this season is our best chance in the last 10 years, so every small advantage counts. I don’t want to waste it because opportunities like this rarely happen.
No, i consider anything before 9 to be an affront.
Who said it was a main target.
Its fourth.
PL
CL
FA
LC
Still want to win it.
I think we all know that none of the big clubs is that bothered until the semi finals. Of course, if you get that far it’s worth giving it a go, but in the early rounds the big clubs can play weakened teams and still win due to their larger and stronger squads. Meanwhile clubs at the other end of the table can’t prioritise it because their number one mission is survival.
It’s further proof of inequality that teams for whom it’s less important have a greater chance of winning it.
The whole thing would be greatly improved by removing those clubs which are in Europe. Then there would be far more incentive for the likes of Wolves or Palace to really commit to it. It would also be good for the fans of such teams to have a realistic chance of silverware.
I always want Liverpool to win every game, but there are some which are more important as you say.
Lot of presumption there.
Once the whistle blows, my chimp will be out and I’ll want to win.
Right now, and after the final whistle, I won’t be arsed if we get knocked out. We have bigger fish to fry and I’ll take not being legged through a two legged semi final in January, thanks.
The problem with the comp is the twin leg shit. Fuck that right off.
I value the LC as a way to give our youngsters and seldom played players an opportunity to prove what they can do and maintain sharpness.
From that perspective, getting knocked out too early isn’t great but we need to be pragmatic and also prioritize the PL and CL.
Ridiculous now. Play them at Wembley like the FA Cup, and give the fans a treat…
Maybe we’d have been a bit closer in the run-in if we’d got a penalty late on at Chelsea when Jackson (?) clearly handled from a corner.
A bit closer if we hadn’t had 3 points stolen off us at Spurs in the clearest case of match fixing I’ve ever seen.
We may have been even closer if the Brighton defender was sent off as he should have been but was allowed to stay on, or the ref hadn’t bought the clear dive for the free-kick they equalised with.
Even closer still if Odegaard wasn’t allowed to play basketball in his own box.
Or closer if Doku wasn’t allowed to plant his boot in MacAllister’s chest without punishment.
Heading into the Utd and Palace games with those extra 10-11 points (let’s not forget City and Arsenal would have had 1 less each) might have made some difference I reckon. Of course you will probably argue we might not have won all those matches but personally I’d rather be in the position to find out.
And of course the most obvious thing surrounding all those incidents is the fact it was ALL the usual suspects involved.
I suspect you could visit various opposition forums who’d say similar about decisions not given to them.
There was no controversy at all about the Jackson “handball” other than among a group of 10 or so posters on here who have never seen a tackle against us that wasnt a foul.
Please connect me to your better half.
Liverpool youngster Trey Nyoni, 17, is set to make full debut in Carabao Cup tonight.

@jabu household:
Mrs Jabu: honey, I have to be at the airport soon
@jabu: call Uber
Mrs Jabu: Uber!?!
@jabu: Google it
Mrs Jabu: why can’t you take me?
@jabu: The Bird is starting
Mrs Jabu: oh, you should have said that. It makes sense! I’ll get an Uber.
Where does the lad play…
Would it be Dom’s role or in the attack?
Too bad. League Cup games aren’t on TV here.
@Limiescouse
More than just ten posters on here.
The decision was controversial, not to you maybe. But it was another decision against Liverpool.
You posted an article explaining why it was not a handball
VAR review: In the Premier League, there has always been a more lenient interpretation of handball. As Jackson was jumping, he had his arm close to his body, and Díaz’s flick meant there was little time to react to the movement. Both of Jackson’s arms were in the same position, which suggest expected position for his movement in that situation.
