KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Wigan v/s Liverpool

Our freefall from the top of the table is frightening. We are playing poorly as we have done all season but now we are not getting the results we were getting earlier in the season. A draw or defeat to Chelsea on Sunday will be the end of the title race for us and our best chance in years will be gone. With Manure, Chelsea and Arsenal all having mediocre starts to the season, we could have been out of sight by now if we had beaten all thoses inferior teams at Anfield.

Rafa's rant at Ferguson is looking pretty stupid now.

Very Depressed LFC Fan.

Couln't agree more Red Lad depressed that sums it up every game now your just waiting for it to go wrong

Well, we aint out of it. But we seem to be heading down a familiar path. After one or two setbacks, we say "We aint out of it" then a further two setbacks, we say "we aint out of it" Come mid february we will be saying the same thing. We do not have the ability to finish teams of with some of our fringe players.

Lucas has been given too many chances and he fails to impress, Babel hasnt found his feet. Stoke, Fulham, Hull, Wigan,Bolton.

I still do not belive we have what it takes to win the title, i am a great fan of benitez, but at times i feel he is a bit afraid. We have three days after this game, surely Alonso, Keane, Riera could have had a longer run out last night.

i am sick of all this - at the start of the season if someone had said to me we would be in this position at the end of jan i would have jumped at it - there is a long way to go and we are right in the title chase .... we should just be grateful to Rafa for getting us in this position despite all the hindrances he has to work under!

Rafa came here with assurances he would get all the control he is now having to ask for in his contract - he has been treated appallingly by the club, by Moores, by Parry and the two yanks (though in fairness to Hicks he has realised that Rafa is the best for the job and now wants to give him the control etc)

he has had to work with one hand tied behind his back since he came to the club and yet he has still delivered us the champions league and FA cup and now has us challenging for the prem against much richer and better run clubs who have a manager who has all the freedom of action rafa wants

people should stop whining and get behind the team and rafa and spur them on for a title push and make it clear to gillett and parry that rafa has to be given what he asks for if the club is to move forward

perhaps if anfield returned to providing the great atmosphere it used to in every game instead of just big ones the club wouldn't struggle to beat the 'lesser' teams there!!!

Yep Steve, Manure will drop points before the race is done. We have to make sure we keep on going.
Was absolutely gutted again last night but what can you do except carry on, carry on supporting the best football club in the world, win or lose. That's what it's really all about innit
We have dropped 4 points in the last two games due to stupid fouls in dangerous areas. I believe this is down to inexperience of the two players concerned, maybe pressure too - boils down to the same thing. Experienced players can cope with pressure better. Lucas will have learnt a lot from last night and I bet feels damn sight more rotten than we do!
But that aside we need to try and kill games - rather hard with Torres still finding his way back in, but it'll come.
Keep the faith! YNWA!

Mathematicaly we aint out of it, but after we draw on Sunday we will be 4pts behind the "plane crashers".

Unless we hoping that when "Plane crashers" face Inter they will start dropping points.

As we say here is South Africa "SIES". An expression to dislike, rotten.

I know Liverpool doing things the hard way, so maybe we will take 3 points at trafford. hehe. I learnt never to write this team off.

But the past 10 years follow a similar pattern. "ALMOST" We aint out of it"

personally i find that reference to the munich disaster as distasteful and sick as i would if any other teams fans made reference to hillsbrough or heysel when they talked about liverpool

Well it is a democracy:)

im a bit angry, excuse the insult, im surrounded my Mancs. Not one of them said a word when we were top of the table, now suddenly everyone is talking footie in the office.

They all call me "A supporter of a team whose fans are wild hooligans" They mock at hillsborough, Heysel too.


yea, well it over

and i would be insulted by that too - but dropping down to their level just makes you as bad as them
