If they beat City next week then that might be it done.
Balls.
Even after that they’d still have to spurs, Chelsea, Villa, city away, got to play us again etc.
The fact is if city are like how they were last night, Liverpool beating them would prove nothing
Their December fixtures are tough
If we are nine points behind them come January 1st fine I’ll say it will be difficult to catch them
Five ? Yeah I’d say that’s easily doable given the respective fixtures
Steve Cooper sacked.
Yeah just saw that, ridiculously harsh (in my view). What exactly are they expecting. They’ve got a 37 year old Vardy leading the line…as well as a few other mediocres and ageing players because they simply don’t have the money to invest (well they do but not without getting done over by financial sustainability rules)Steve Cooper sacked.
Cooper been treated harshly by both Forest and Leicester
I don’t think he’s a top manager but he’s a reasonably decent one.
They'd be 9 points above us at worst, 11 above City. It's just starting to feel a long way back.
I take the point that it's still relatively early and Liverpool have to play some tough games - but City is one of those (well, in normal times - the run they've been on of late is both baffling and hilarious). If they win that one then you'd have to say it's another test past - they've already played us at our place and got a good point. It was during our wobble admittedly but still, they just keep passing these tests.
We both thought Mac had gone mad suggesting they'd be contenders but I don't think either of us would have predicted they'd be where they are right now. Maybe we were wrong.
The reason they are nine points clear is because they’ve had by far the easiest fixtures. The only tough fixture they’ve had was us away. Southampton had to shoot themselves in the foot twice and have a harsh penalty awarded against them for them to win.
The only result that surprised me was them losing at home to Forest. When we’ve seen City lose three in a row (yes they are in a bit of a tail spin) I simply cannot see how anyone can look at a 9 point gap and also look at Liverpool who for me in terms of performance are less impressive than last season and think it’s insurmountable. I did not expect us to be 9 points behind them, because I didn’t expect us to lose to Bournemouth or Newcastle.
We have statistically the easiest run in to the new year, Liverpool one of the hardest. So as I say, we shall see where we are January 1st.
Ipswich equalise through one of our ex academy players
He's just such a miserable sod, I'd be suicidal if he was the manager of my club
Which is pretty much my position.
But I don't believe that either of us thought Liverpool would have had a start to the season this good, easy run or not. You keep making excuses for why they keep getting results. You never seem to stop and consider you may have underestimated them.
