Liverpool Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2014 Mod Warning Post #6378

Just watched the whole of 30 for 30.

Tough viewing and so sad.

Never forget the 96

Some people are giving out about the pervading air of negativity, the fear, the pessimism.

There are reasons for that. 24 years worth of reasons when all we had to sustain us was cup runs. Yes, Liverpool have won trophies in that time. The treble in 2001. Winning ol' Big Ears and getting to keep him in 2005.

The team have come close. But we haven't been in this position in 24 years, where their fate is in their own hands.

Everyone is all about the 25 year anniversary.

This year also marks the 25th anniversary of another Liverpool loss. Arsenal came to Anfield, Liverpool needed to LOSE by 2 goals, something that hadn't happened in Anfield in over 3 years. I remember that night. My Arsenal supporting brother remembers that night too.



Don't get me wrong, I am optimistic, but lets do as Gerrard has said, as Rodgers has said... lets take it one game at a time and go out to win.

Norwich next, and go for the three points. No more of this "oh well we can lose here, or draw there, and maybe sunderland will give us a hand on Sunday".... FCUK that SH1T..... This Is Liverpool... We go to win.. We don't need any favours.

This season will be a big fail if we can't win the league now. Having said that I think we will demolish Norwich.

I think the team spent their nerves against City. The build up to that game, on that weekend, the atmosphere, the title up for grabs and the pace of the first 35 mins took its toll. The team looked jaded in the first part of the second half... Gerrard could hardly run. I'm not surprised city walked in two goals. It was a massive performance to win that game. Huge. Dare I say it bigger than CL 2005 from an energy sapping point of view. They got through that and should now have enough metal to get the title.

C'mon!

Honestly, I don't know how anyone can think this...lets look at the facts as they were back in August, we had finished 4 seasons in 6th/7th/6th/8th by all measurements we have been a mid-table team since 2010. Our aim when Rodgers took over was to qualify for the Champions League in 3 seasons, this season was to challenge for a top 4 place (as set out by FSG) not GET it...but CHALLENGE for it (like Everton are) ...and yet here we are in April 4 games from the finish looking down on everyone, to not win it that's not a failure by any stretch of the imagination...to win would be massive overachievement.

There is no logical reason why we are where we are, look at the tables produced yesterday, City , Chelsea, Arsenal, Utd...they spend more per player on average in wages than we do, hell even Stoke have outspent us in transfers over the last 5 years! STOKE...take that in..Tony Pulis and Mark Hughes have been backed better than Brendan Rodgers!!

Chelsea and Man City have the resources, squads , backing that mean they realistically are still the ones to look at winning it.

Failure...not a chance, just enjoy the ride, CL is sorted for next year, enjoy the last few games

4 to go!

Great minds think alike. Picked up 4 myself. Got the chance to explain what had happened to my nephew(8) (he couldnt never whether hes a chelsea fan or a LFC fan....i know i know, i should have trained him better). Once I told him about Hillsborough, he asked "is that why people say LFC have so much history", got into a mad conversation about LFC and the history, he has confirmed that he is now fully behind LFC.

According to bookies we are , but I can't help but think that Chelsea @ 3/1 is huge price with the title decider next week. I think we will do it but you cant right off Jose putting a spanner in the works . One game changes everything week by week

Biggest game for us and Chelsea now is the next one. Not the game at Anfield, both of us need to win this weekend. A slip up for them and a win for us ..we're 5 points clear. A win for them and defeat for us...we're 2nd.

Absolutely massive weekend coming up.

In terms of an interview, it was more impressive than any other. When Brendan Rodgers met with Liverpool's owners, he presented a document, 180 pages long, which blueprinted the future of the club.

The plan was enough to nix the idea of a sporting director, with total control given to the Northern Irishman. The document's impressiveness was matched by its detail – he started writing it 15 years previous – and included his vision for the club.

Upon joining Liverpool, Rodgers said: “I presented to them a document on the culture, philosophy and game plan going forward.

“It’s a model, a short cut to how I work, the kind of players I want tactically and the personality traits of players. Also my thoughts on the Academy and how we move forward.

“The vision is simple. Firstly, to win the most trophies we can. That’s the bigger picture........

The man is a genius!

I hate when this stuff comes out. It reminds me of the fears I had a year or so ago.

Now, if this came out subsequent to winning the league, I couldn't give a damn!

I did, it was over 4 months ago and it has no relevance on the game that's coming.
Didn't Arsenal beat us at The Emirates and then we hammered them in Anfield?

Form has been turned on it's head.

Our confidence is sky high
We're the home team. The ground will be rocking.

The momentum is with Liverpool.

I can't wait but looking forward to the Norwich game first.

So its not in Chelsea to go at us like rabid dogs despite having seen them do exactly that the last time we played them.
I know that day a couple of decisions going another way could have knicked us a point but conversly a striker performing that day and they could have had 5.
The Chelsea midfield overwhelmed us that day , they could well do it again.

Now this is what you want when following a team ,the chance to have big games against big sides with it all on the line.
I am looking forward to it (will be a nervous wreck that week ) but you can also be realistic in examining our chances.

Every Liverpool fan the last few weeks.........:D
