Just want to say that I think Spurs without Kane, at least against us, are better than with Kane. Our defenders are well capable of putting Harry in their pocket. But the pace and trickery of Son, plus a fired up Moura, are difficult to deal with.

Hi mate,

I remember during the Brendan 'We are Liverpool tra la la la la' league run, our lead at the top was minuscule and we were all WE'RE GOING TO FUCKING DO THIS and STOP BEING A BEDWETTER and WHERE'S YOUR BELIEF YOU SACK OF UNWASHED WOOL.

I was all in for it.

But now we have a lead of like 73 points or something (haven't checked) and the consensus is "Careful everyone, it's not over until it's mathematically impossible."

Which is true, and I wonder what's changed psychologically.
The nature of the title race in 2014. Gerrard's speech after City, the Chelsea game, the Palace game. I mean, it genuinely couldn't have been scripted any crueler. It's the sort of string of events that rival fans dream up on their own forums, but it actually happened. Gerrard's departure the season after was a really downbeat affair too. Got beaten at his last game at Anfield, got annhilated in his last ever game at Stoke. Those sorts of things can change the mindset of a fanbase.

Things were different from day one under Klopp of course. He was always the perfect fit for Liverpool. Yet even under him there were heartbreaks in three cup finals and another title lost despite an unbelievably strong domestic campaign. Again, these things add up. I genuinely believe losing another Champions League final would have been very hard to recover from, even for this side.

After Madrid though, we now play with the confidence of winners. Unlike 2005, we look like Europe's best. I think our collective fanbase are being very astute about our chances. On the whole there's no panic that we'll throw it away in some heartbreaking manner, nor is there any overconfidence about the gap to City. If we manage to get to a stage where a couple of wins will guarantee the title, things will kick up several gears. For now I think our fans actually mirror the businesslike psyche of the team, and that's a good thing.

Hey Royhendo. Very busy - but busy is good. Kids summer holidays here which means I have approximately zero time or focus on to get stuff like this done :D

Hope you and the family are well and had a good festive period. I imagine you are enjoying the football this season. What an unbelievable 18-20 months these have been. Hopefully we look back on this as the beginning of an era rather than a beautiful ending to an era.

This would be a lovely dilemma to have but I can see Arsenal away being tricky if we are still unbeaten at that point as they’ll be he’ll bent on stopping us going unbeaten all season. That said, if we’re still unbeaten at that point we’ll almost certainly be champions already so I’d like to deal with that ‘problem’ when we get to it. :D
For the fans the unbeaten thing will be massive ( not for ours if you believe a lot of posts here). But I kind of feel it won't matter much to their players.

For now I think our fans actually mirror the businesslike psyche of the team, and that's a good thing.

It would have been a sickening blow all around to lose big ears to Spurs after all the progress under Klopp. We'd had so many near misses - it was so important we got that one over the line and the players, club and fans have all grown in stature from there.

I'm cool with the current one game at a time mindset. I'm well aware of how far ahead we are yet similarly am not allowing myself to think it's won. I'm also convinced we'll beat every team we meet at the moment, we're that good and playing that well. I don't think it's fear from the past, I think it's the mentality Klopp has struck into the whole club. We all back our mentality monsters to finish this off, but equally we're keeping a lid on it until it's done.

It's nice to enjoy the ride though unlike the weekly stress of the cat and mouse chase last season!

But no other club in the country attracts as much unbridled jealousy from sour-faced no-marks with nothing positive to contribute to life.

It's a football club, not a political party. Let them hate us, it just translates to pure jealousy. They wish they had our world class players, our incredible team ethic, our beautiful historic stadium, our passionate support, our magical European nights.

The hatred is born out of our domination during the 70's & 80's. Passed down to younger generations by parents that watched us win everything for 20 years. They're just scared that it's about to happen again. Fuck them, it'll just make those salty tears taste even sweeter in May.

You can sort of understand it. I've been fucking unbearable since June and plan to double or triple that come this summer. The country ain't gonna take that lying down. Fuck 'em!

State of this. Don't think I have anything similar done for any other club going for the title EVER!

Big fan of this. What about Man City win the title? Shrug of the shoulders. Nobody cares.
Loving Everton's business this summer. Here's an early call - they finish above Liverpool this season.

pretty much.

they had their time in the sun, revelling in our misfortune as we finished midtable and won nothing. They laughed as they belittled us, said we'd never win anything again.

I don't think they're laughing now.

So their mockery turned to panic and derision. They'd rather lose themselves to see us not win anything and remain (in their eyes) a laughing stock. They hate and fear us more than they love their own teams.

Living in their heads rent-free.

I wouldn't worry, mate.

We are absolutely destroying every joyless, miserable, negative-head in the country world just now. Let them wallow in their misery while we get on with enjoying life and our football.  8)

Fixed it for you. We're a global club, remember?  :D
