F*** them, we on our day have as good a chance to break their run as anyone.

BaltimoreBird 127 Posted February 8, 2020 Perhaps, but with Watford coming out to a 1-0 lead, a draw was a nice result. Also doesn't allow either of those teams to feel good with their performance today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Making Plans 936 Posted February 9, 2020 There is no reason why we can't beat Liverpool. We have already beaten them in one half of a game so we can do it again. At the end of the day it's 11 v 11 and in football anything can happen. It would be an upset but it wouldn't be the greatest upset of all time.

Yeah, he'd be crazy to put out his strongest XI just before a CL game, especially given the cushion they have in the PL. They've had at least eight of their first ten outfielders nailed down week-in-week-out -Ā Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Mane, Salah, Firmino - so making a few changes could unsettle them more than expected. As with the Man City game, we'll have to take our chances early, defend like Trojans and hope they have a massive off day, but stranger things have happened. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any deviation from this and we will probably come unstuck. There is a slight chance that Liverpool like Man City will not take us seriously and we could (a very, very slim chance) catch them cold.

lake district canary 4,531 Posted February 19, 2020 So West Ham lose their game in hand as predicted and we're all on 26 games. Every single team in the bottom six is away this weekend so the teams that win away this weekend will make headway on the others, unless they all win, which is very unlikely.
