If the coronavirus affects the league we'll deal with it then.

If you bring it up in here you'll get a few days off...

Liverpool’s next three league games are all against bottom five teams, and they take place before City next play in the league.

They could be 28 points behind with 33 to play for...

I'd be amazed if we drop points in the next 3 games to be honest. Watford would be the only game in the realms of possibility. West Ham and Bornemouth at home are 2 of the easiest games you could ask for. Should be demolishing both.

After their bounce, Watford have gone back to being dogshit. They'll lose to the Mancs today and will be hoping we twat West Ham so that they can go above them on GD from 2nd bottom to 3rd, but the reality is they are gone and they will know it. They play West Ham and Norwich out of the bottom 3 sides, but those are April/May. The rest of their games, other than maybe Newcastle, you'd expect them to drop points/outright lose.

If/When we win our next three before Man City even play again in the League (v Man United at Old Trafford) I think they will have mentally given up and will drop points quickly. 28 clear with only 33 to play for is absolutely mental and something Pep and his players won't be able to get their heads around. Even more so if they lose in the CL this week and have an uphill battle going into the return leg v Real Madrid.

Don't like to look ahead of the next game, but if you're looking at those 3 before the derby we should really be taking maximum points. I thought Watford would end up surviving, but I think the damage is already done, they must be the only team in donkeys to lose a home match to Everton despite being 2 goals up. Seriously, how the fuck do you even do that? They'll need to come at us, and we should be able to exploit their defensive frailties.

West Ham tomorrow shouldn't be too different to the away game, I don't expect us to batter them 5-0, really a couple should be enough, I can't see them venturing out of their own half much. As for Bournemouth, they're probably the easiest team in the league to play against, never change their style of play or do anything differently, I'd be disappointed if I was one of our attackers walking off the pitch and I hadn't scored against them.

Moyes said yesterday he's thinking of goal difference now. I'll be surprised if we see a more attacking line up than the one he put out at City - he surely sees this one as another one where if he can get away with a narrow defeat he's done well.

Samie · « **Reply #8487 on:** February 23, 2020, 01:39:58 pm »

Moysie said he was inspired by Atletico Madrid's performance against us. Imagine thinking you have the tactical approach and philosophy of Diego Simeone , someone who's been at the club for nearly a decade and expect your mob to play like they do.

I can totally see Felipe Anderson having a stormer in defense as some kind of auxiliary wing-back who chases after every ball, throws in crunching tackles and absolutely never gives up on lost causes. Because that's what he's known for.

I'm inspired by Tom Ackerly's production work on a last day in Mars. But I don't see Margot Robbie marrying me. (Yes I had to do some research for that)

For the last 30 or so years I have had to endure Utd fans soooo confident. They think they're gonna win every game. When they go 1-0 down they have that belief they WILL turn it around. That is us now.

He probably means trying to stop it getting any worse rather than improving it.

I have to disagree. If we go 1-0 down we look around in disbelief

That will be exactly what he means, it is so tight at the bottom of the table that GD could be a factor.

Bottom 6

Brighton 28pts -7
Bournemouth 26pts -17,
Villa 25pts -18,
West Ham 24pts -15
Watford 24pts -19
Norwich 18pts -27

I was just coming on here to pose this question....... Its getting serious in Europe now and some 6 nations games look under threat. Highly likely at this stage the champions league will be affected.

Honestly, this has been a thread where excitement has slowly built, and lots of discussion about when it will finish or how people will celebrate but your only contribution is to ask about a bloody virus?

Seriously, people need to get a grip - if the corunavirus gets worse, than cancelling a few matches will be the least of peoples worries.

Nothing gonna stop us!

They threw a possible nuclear war with North Korea at us.

They threw a possible nuclear war with Iran at us.

They threw a possible nuclear war with Russia at us.

They threw storm Ciara at us.

They threw storm Dennis at us.

They threw the coronavirus at us.

They even threw that little lad from Ireland (the Manc supporter) at us.

But we're still here.

I honestly don't think it will need to be four games for us to win the title - I can still see City dropping points before we kick off against palace. The Chelsea kick off for them at 12.30pm (we kick off at 5.30pm) I think will see them drop points, and don't laugh, I think United could take points off them too the game before. I can't believe what a fortunate position we are in and it is still only February!
