ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 2

[4737carlin]

Saw one on twitter today saying Man United lost to City , but we’re bitter so we drew with Liverpool at Goodison when we should have lost to them to bring the title to Merseyside

Its sounds crazy but i have heard myself reds saying how we should want them to win it to stop Manchester, as if its a city thing rather then a club thing, thats how clueless they are.

Yeah I'm sure they'd feel the same way if it was us vs City in a title race...

Looks a bit shell shocked this afternoon?

What are the chances of Newcastle turning over these red bottlers on Sat? Sick of the coverage tbh, but it'll be worth it to see them crowned greatest choke-artists in world football.
That gets engraved into a club's DNA - if the red bedwetters had been in Leicester's position a few years back they would never have seen it through to win.

The game being in the evening could be problematic for them as the more they put into it the more they’re running their reserves down for the game on Tuesday. Messi will be watching with his feet up.

I didn't know Raymond Chandler or Mickey Spilllane were RS ???? Rawk is waxing lyrically this morning (amongst the swearing about Barca being cheats/Suarez not being able to walk round town with his family/Messi etc etc zzzzz that is)……………

Take it as a sign of respect. They were rattled. Underdogs in their own backyard, it rarely happens. We backed a tiger into a corner and felt the repercussions.

If last night was a boxing match it was two elite boxers but one demonstrating their ring craft and dynamism and one demonstrating their chin and ruthlessness. We controlled the spaces, pinned them back against the ropes and would be winning on points except for the couple they landed on our chin.

That's left us wounded, battling against the odds with a mountain to climb after six rounds gone. But we've got more fight and spirit than most, and we're about to be given an all mighty boost. We need to stick to our game plan in the second half and just be more clinical. Capture the moments when they're offered to us.

One of Klopp's all time favourite films is Rocky and its a script on that proportion that we need to write. Klopp lives for the fight, for the show of character. If anyone is capable of turning this around it is us, with a rocking Anfield crowd behind them. We've seen the impossible before and we will again. Let's make it Tuesday night. When our backs are against the walls and then piece by piece things start to go our way, the sense of inevitability builds. The opposition feels powerless against it. They are swallowed into a cauldron with no way out.

Think AC Milan, three goals in 6 minutes. Think Dortmund, 3 goals in 30 minutes. Think Olympiakos, 3 goals in a half. Think Man City, 3 goals in 20 minutes.

We've comeback against better sides, against lower odds, with worse players. Nothing is impossible. Remember the feeling of momentum, of inevitability that happens when the pieces start to fall into place. Remember the disbelief when leaving the ground, the elation as dreams become reality. Remember the glow that you wake up to the morning after the night before.

We've seen it before and it is glorious.

Feel the pain now and remember it. Get all the disappoint out of your system. Heartbreak builds character.

On Tuesday night, we go again. We go with absolute everything we've got.

We're not going anywhere.

It’s concerning that there’s people living amongst us that subscribe to this way of thinking.

Note for the old diary.

Tonight....7 p.m.

“talkSPORT Special on Liverpool’s Title Challenge”

Hosted by Tony Evans and Ray Houghton.

(this is not made up BTW)

haha I heard a advert for that, i was like WTF, they must of scheduled it in January and forgot

 

[goodisonopheliac]

The absolute best bit is that when they’re winning they love being hated. “Hahahaha Jurgen’s reds boiling piss love it, you all wanna be us hahaha” but the SECOND something goes wrong and everyone starts laughing at them then they start having the ugliest, most aggressive tantrums ever seen. As if they’re completely shocked and offended that everyone hates them all of a sudden.

EXACTLY. It's like, I thought you lot liked being hated, you should be happy when other fans make fun of you.

Apologies if already posted, but... oh my goodness...

Hope UEFA are keeping a keen eye on the Barca team bus as it makes it's way to Big Stand for the return match.

No doubt the Barca fans will act with a lot more respect for the elderly should they end up congregating near Williamson Sq fountains.

"They've never seen a team like us..."lollollol

They must have done.

Because part of the trailer says “after 29 years, Liverpool have the title in their grasp again”.

When the fact is it came out of their “grasp” when we lost to City in February and the fate of the title has been in City’s own hands ever since.

Ffs what a balloon..... dressed up nonsense.

In short they played as good as they possibly could. Couldn't score, and got beat 3 nil when it could or should have been 6-2..... they do love to count the sitters they miss but exclude the 3 Barca missed.

Move on.... you got beat....

When's the vhs coming out?

Apologies if already posted, but... oh my goodness... lol

‘Shades of Cruyff’s Ajax’ all they do is lash long diagonal punts and run after it trying to cause as much carnage as possible.
