The last 6 games of the year havent been selected by sky/bt yet so id say there will be 1 or 2 more.

I think there was something about BT only being allowed to air a certain number of league games for each team and the Arsenal game last week maxing out their Liverpool tally. So now that we are out of the FA Cup they won't be showing more LFC games this season.

Mignolet has been a good signing great shot stopper
but he is stuck to his line & very reluctant to come for crosses.He should have came for Fulham's 2nd goal on Wednesday.
Maybe its to do with the facial injury he recieved a few years ago

I really wish people would stop judging players based on Youtube videos...

I watched the entire Granada-Betis game and while Ilori did play very well, you have to realise that Betis are bankrupt, have had the heart of their team ripped out through players being solid or out injured. The one man who somehow got them promoted two years ago and managed to keep the ship afloat is now in charge at West Brom. Given the circumstances, it was very easy for Ilori to be pinging the ball about the field and looking excellent while doing so.

Let's wait and see how the lad does against the likes of a Sevilla or a Valencia before we start singing his praises.

I've been very impressed with him so far but he does lack that presence that I think keepers should have, we'll need him to be more commanding when we play utd and they stick a million crosses in

In the past 3 years we've won 3 of 12 league games where he was in charge ( drawing 2).

15 yellow cards

Doesn't show cups

He has a wand of a right foot and looks a composed player with pace to burn, himself and Sakho could be a fantastic pairing. Cant tell from these vids how useful he is against bigger lumps in aerial challenges.

I think it's time to stop making excuses for mediocrity. The better team won undoubtedly.

7 I think.

On another note...the match threads seem to be getting worse by the game. I was never a big poster in them but I'm avoiding them completely nowadays...awful stuff.

Lads in trolling the bejaysus out of them and not a word and as soon as someone calls them out,they're warned. Ridiculous really.

Pent up frustration does that, Arsenal got revenge and the United fans on it haven't much else to do.

Good enough performance today, next 4 games are important, Swansea and Sunderland at Home, Southampton and United Away. Definitely capable of getting 7/8 points out of those and keep on track for 77.

After that it's a relegation team, rival for 4th/3rd, relegation team, rival, repeat.

The last 2 games could do with Palace being relegated and Newcastle just being shyte, because teams with nothing to play for are like hen's teeth.

Fixture comparison wise there isn't a hell of a lot in it, people can get a bit obsessed with who teams have to play (says he who did a table), yeah, we've one more top 8 game but so have Everton and more interestingly City, 4/5 of theirs are Away. I'd say Chelsea are the team with the advantage there, 4 left, 3 at home and us away. Arsenal don't have it easy either, 3/4 away.

Bottom 12 not a while lot in it, it evens out here for City as they've 6 at home, Arsenal 5. Chelsea have the most Away. We've one less of these games than everybody else.



Spurs have a huge March and we'll know a lot about them by the time they play us, play Chelsea away, Arsenal and Southampton at home before us, they've the best Away form in the league so that's a worry. They've more games against bottom half teams, their last 6 games but they're all fighting relegation. Normally the notion about difficulty of playing relegation battling teams is a bit of a myth with a couple of notable exceptions, but with up to 11 teams possibly in a battle, it's bound to mean something this season!

Arsenal are kind of similar in that they've Spurs, Chelsea and Everton away and City at Home all in a row, their last 5 games are bottom teams.

Chelsea a bit similar again, 5/6 are bottom half teams with us in between.

City are more spread out and they've a tough away run so I doubt they are going to run away with it as many thought a month ago.

Anyway, back to my original point, the next 4 games are crucial to keep us on target for 76/77 because we've probably the toughest run in, our games against the top are more spread out over the season, whereas the rest tend to be bunched together, loads of draws there please!

Yawn. The only thing mediocre here is your attempt to get a rise.

Why answer it then?

Got into a few spats last week with some Pool fans in the match thread but was unable to post today. Watching the game was nail biting though.

Thought ye deserved a draw today to be honest. Suarez penalty that wasn't given was a stonewaller and I really amn't trying to stir it here but that GIF going around of Webb's viewpoint maybe explains why he didn't. But no arguments - if it wasn't given to us I would be raging.

Cazorla penalty incident would have been soft and the Gerrard decision was 50/50.

We rode our luck anyway and needed that win. Be a shame to have drawn it with two needless penalties had it materialised that way.

Anyway ye have 12 games left and I genuinely would not bet against ye winning the League with the performances in the last 8 days.
