What BR has done at Anfield is nothing short of astonishing.

Dont forget Everton!

You cant look at 1 mistake or result in isolation over a season. Every point dropped has its reasons.

.

really unfair to pick out individual moments as the cause of a league campaign not being as successful as hoped.

there have been a few but again unfair to pick out incidents...

-Allens sitter @ Everton.
-Skrtels OG(s)
etc

All if's and buts....but that pass never occurring and a non shambolic performance against Hull would have meant one hand on the trophy.

How many games do players need to have been in to get a PL medal, if Liverpool won it would be unfortunate if say Moses got one and Enrique didn't.

Buy Enrique a few Ultimate Team coins and he'll be happy.

Every team has those moments to point to, let's not get hung up on them here, although if one of them happened in the last game of the season that cost us it'd be different!

You can't pinpoint one moment and say it cost a title. It was months ago. Leave Kolo alone.

Hopefully Brendan won't look as awkward when holding the Premier League Trophy aloft!

Lads will yez stop!

Caus if we all get our hopes up and we don't win, there'll be the biggest depression in here :P

'The Rodgers' was obviously a banger.

I am going to enjoy our current position and scream this team over the line.

If we fall short so be it, but this season is a massive success on so many levels for me and 3rd spot will/would be brilliant.

but I will also get joy from all those in glass houses trying to fúck big rocks at us if we do fall short :pac:

kingshankly · 31-03-2014 12:08pm

If you can't get excited and carried away about winning a title when your top with 6 games to go there's something wrong
Enjoy it lads we have waited long enough

Sums up my outlook on it. I am scutting out of the back of the 'We're going to win the league' bus, ready to climb aboard but I still have this expectancy that it will all come apart at some stage.

Will it be disappointing if that happens?...of course it will but when you take a step back and realise what this team have achieved you can't be too disappointed...and I won't be giving any of those waiting in the wings for Liverpool to stumble any material to **** over if it does happen.

5starpool · 31-03-2014 12:18pm

I'm not sure if it has been posted here but the postcode of Anfield is very fitting after yesterday.

L4 0TH

I'll look back at his first few games where he was outstanding, in particular at Villa Park where he had Benteke on lockdown. Crouch came off the worse in their duel in the season opener too. He came in as 4th choice CB and going by everyone at the club, he has been such a positive influence on much of the team. All the players and Rodgers have all talked highly of him.

On the other hand, for me, I can't help but look back at be horribly salty over the referee decisions go against us in the couple of the big games in December, ie: the appalling offside call early on vs Man City with Sterling clear through. I know we scored soon after before having a 15 minute meltdown and conceding that second goal at a horrible time in stoppage time of the first half, and it's all very much if's and but's, buuuut potentially going 2-0 up at their place, would they have gone on to win? Who knows, but I think it's doubtful they'd have done so.

Chelsea, well they played well on the day, but we got bent over and shafted by horrible officiating.

We came away with nothing, when we could, should and would have got a point out of both games I believe.

Carried away with what? Being top of the league is not exactly something to get carried away about when things are so tight.
Excited - of course.

Lord Trollington · 31-03-2014 12:23pm

We came into this season with nothing, expecting very little other than to push for 4th spot and at that had we finished 5th it would have been an improvement on last year.

I'm just going to enjoy the next 6 games and see where we end up.

As has been already said I won't be leaving my hands out to be slapped by anyone.

If we qualify for the Champions League it will be job done and a great season.

the gas part is I have read on a number of threads things like 'go over to the LFC thread they have the league won already' etc etc

but for the life of me I cant/have not seen any posts to suggest this.

its like some need to build up the excitement of us failing even before we get excited about winning it ourselves.

We're back motherfúckers - we are well and truly back

5starpool · 31-03-2014 12:32pm

For all the talk of Johnson and Agger being terrible, Sunderland apart Johnson has been really good i think since his return, and despite all the games Agger has missed he has played in 8 out of our 10 clean sheets.

slingerz · 31-03-2014 12:32pm

top 4 was the target and achieved. I'm sure scared there will be a feeling of failure if Liverpool dont win the league.

As i said before, beat West Ham and Man City then I'll start believing.

You would have to be scared of Agger & Skrtel against the aerial bombardment to come from West Ham next weekend though.

Agueroooo · 31-03-2014 12:34pm

We've giving Champions League football to Luis Surez please God.

No lets go give a title to Steven Gerrard.

Rodger's said before the season started that his target was to "Have Liverpool in the conversation" at the business end of the season.

He's certainly achieved that with flying colours.

DrumSteve · 31-03-2014 12:36pm

I think Kolo's performances at the start of the season and what he has brought to the team outweigh one poxy mistake.

Talking about us in other threads? As a Liverpool fan I find it hard to believe that level of obsession exists.

Also is everyone forgetting the colossus of Liverpool that was Andy Carroll? Spent more time on the ground than he did on his feet, hardly a worrying target man. Have Gerrard man mark Nolan and they have no goal threat.

You are tempting the jinx.

Carroll is the best striker in the league and we will do well to hold him to three goals.
