KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum The immanent historic game

Had we won today the dynamics may have been different. A win at Stoke and a win at home to Spurs would have put us back challenging for fourth spot.

A disappointing draw today now leaves another scenario.

Quite simply we need to win on Wednesday to leave us with any chance of fourth spot.

A defeat or draw will leave too big a mountain to climb. If we don’t get fourth spot then we are also likely heralding in an era not seen for 50 years at Anfield. Namely we will just be an ordinary premiership side or worse. That is not just because of loss of championship league revenue next season it is because.

a) There are three other teams who have moved up a level and who are financially sounder than us. Other teams are moving forward while we move back at a pace.

b) With the ground re-development this is a critical and pivotal time in our history.

So the Spurs game next Wednesday is one of the most important games we have had in decades.

You might think I am exaggerating and mathematically I may be. However the reason why this game is critical is I believe it will be the “tipping point” for confidence, morale and momentum. If we were to suffer a defeat it will be shattering for the players, fans and the manager who looks close to tears at the moment. It will create a situation we will not recover from.

I will be at the game and giving it my all because whatever you think of Rafa or the owners this is a game we cannot mess up. I hope the Kop and supporters create a European game type atmosphere.

you're right this game is of huge importance. a win and we're back in the race for 4th spot (for a while at least) but a lose will mean that we're definetly out of it...

i just wonder what will happen with rafa if we make it into the top 4 by the end of the season? i just can't see him being sacked if we make it....don't get me wrong, i would never ever want us to lose a game but it's such an anti-climax because i know he won't get sacked if we make it. and that means that we're screwed in the league for the next season, and next after that and so on...

but as i said, don't get me wrong. i want us to win every game so we can get that 4th spot but i want rafa to leave even if we make it...

i agree 100% with this i just hope and pray we finish 4th its depressing.

our finances are much much better than spurs and villa the summer will show this i think

our you insane? we are in serious debt and really struggling to pay off the debt the yanks have got us in ..... spuds and villa are both ok for money and in no way, shape or form worse off financially

After todays results if we win we will be one point behind spurs a not unreasonable position in January. But.. like I said its a confidence / momentum thing so we MUST win.

I did see a spark mind, when Maxi and Aquaman were brought on.
Let's hope this is the start of a new beginning

too true

thats what i fear...that said it was better to field a strong side against stoke get a win,have some confidence instead of protecting available key players for the spuds game..now what i see is a lose lose situation.... fecking gutted.

its hard to say pal~
when everyone things that liverpool will lose..
they can suddenly pop out with a win
when everyone things that liverpool can win ..
they will lost...
