    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:

    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.

    L4 0TH

    this calendar year we have won 11 out of 13 with 2 draws, scoring 44 times conceding 16. The team has been stellar in the wins against Arsenal, United and Spurs esp. I just hope to god Kolo isn't remembered for THAT pass costing us the title.
    What BR has done at Anfield is nothing short of astonishing.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    You are tempting the jinx.

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

    turning point in the season for me is the lucas injury against aston villa. We have won 10 and drawn 1 of our 11 games since then our away form has improved massively and we have hammered arsenal, spurs, everton and utd.
    A midfield 3 of Lucas gerrard and henderson wouldnt have got those results I feel. Gerrard is far better than lucas as DM. Henderson is more effective than gerrard in the role gerrard was being asked to play and coutinho or sterling are far better than henderson as the advanced midfielder.

    The positives about Toure really do outweigh the negatives. From his performances earlier in the season to his effect in the dressing room and around the younger players. He was brought in to be a squad player and has seen more games then he's able for at his age in my opinion. When he first joined he said he was filling the Carragher role of being the experienced defender and I think he's done enough in that regard.

    Well, one contributor changing his handle to "OurYear" and another suggesting the club will apply for a medal for Luis Enrique because he's only played 7 times stand out in the last two pages.

    Congrats thus far on an excellent season and lots of great attacking football, but bear in mind The Billionaires at Middle Eastlands are still 4/7 in the bookies for a reason.

    Jose has only played 7 ,but I imagine the club will apply on his behalf

    We should have been putting Carra in the squad and throwing him on in the last minute for the past 4 games.

    2 more goals and Suarez is joint top scorer in a PL season (31)

    Where? Just glanced at a load of European and US based books, and they're offering a shade under evens (4/5 generally) for City to win the league.

    I think, knowing how competitive Carra is, and the integrity of the man for things like this, he'd hate the idea of being 'gifted' a medal, somewhat.

    I don't think he'd have any regrets, really. Not unless he thought he could have played 20-30 games.

    Yeah, I'd agree. It'll be the single biggest regret (only one I'd say in fairness) if the title does happen from a fans perspective imo though.

    This is also true. However I can't help but feel sorry for Lucas as he developed in to such an important player for us but results speak for themselves we are much more effective set up the way we are currently. Great squad player to have anyway.

    O and I reckon bar suspension the battle between Toure and Gerrard when we play City will be unreal. Gerrard will be like a man possessed!

    You could blame Rodgers for a terrible set up against Villa or the same error against Soton at home or Hull away. It would be harsh to fix on one player.

    Or you could blame the players also in those games for a lack of intensity and quality, given that we have played with the same system against Spurs, Arsenal and Everton and handsomely won all 3.

    Do you also recall that in that game bringing Lucas on at half time was what allowed us to regain our shape and get something from that game?

    Liverpool will get at least a CL spot and are my 4th favourites for the league.

    However, they're 8 points behind Arsenal and 7 behind City with a lot of football to play. Suarez is in unbelievable form and will probably win player of the year. Liverpool have the three above them all at home and the easiest run in.

    Its not impossible and they have a good chance, but I won't be rushing to the bookies with the mortgage

    Fair play.

    Just dug up my own thoughts at the time... This is prior to the Everton 4-0 game. Lolz
    Tomorrow night will really sway perspective for a lot of people, I feel.

    If we lose and then don't sign anyone in the remaining days, I'm not sure I could hack this place. Everyone will be fuming, and rightly so.

    My money is on a draw.

    Also, I'm worried for the rest of the season. A lot of people say we have an easier schedule, I'm not so sure.

    You're never guaranteed points against the top teams, home or away. The fact that we have them all to play at home, United aside, doesn't give me reason to cheer. Equally, the fact that most of our games against the "lesser" opponents, for want of a better term, are now all away from home, doesn't inspire me.

    We've been really good at Anfield over the last 12 months, and so were reliable against those teams in terms of regularly picking up the 3 points. I can't see us playing them all away now with similar success.

    I genuinely do worry about us tailing off, and if we don't sign anyone in the next 3-4 days, I worry even more so. This Everton game is massive, as confidence and momentum can help paper over the cracks, which has been the case so far this season, really.

    Pleasantly surprised, would be one way of calling it :D

    Hard to believe that 4th place seemed like an impossible dream at the start of the year, spurs seemed ahead of us, Arsenal looked like they might win it all for a while, city and chelsea were playing a different game altogether and Utd were champions. I thought we'd get 5th or 6th spot and BR would be fighting for his job.

    Delighted to be wrong. Not sure what the precise turning point was? Will take any kind of win against the hammers, absolutely anything. Last minute pen, anything, just keep us dreaming.
