Liverpool

No reason why we can't take second.

Chelsea win two trophies on the one day

Congratulations I suppose...

 

[Ashton Agar]

Chelsea win two trophies on the one day

Congratulations I suppose...

We'll just have to take 3 points off Chelsea as well...!

 

[Cruyff14]

The only thing you're taking is the Mickey

We're four points behind City, we don't have a tough run and the way they're going, there is no reason why it can't happen.

 

[moomba]

We'll finish 2nd comfortably. Bad today, but no doubts in my mind.

Forgive the picture overload here lads and lasses, but I don't think anyone's mentioned it yet but Palace and West Ham joined together before their game to help launch the Dylan Tombides foundation on the weekend for the young Aussie striker who tragically passed away last year. Great scenes and great effort from both clubs. Fitting and pleasing to see Jedinak help launch this.

Another great moment this weekend (if you'll excuse my blowing of the Toon trumpet) was the return of Jonas Gutierrez who made his first appearance in the first team since overcoming his own cancer treatment just a few months back. Although he didn't get onto the pitch, many reckon he was the real MOTM on the day. Cisse's celebration was a great touch but the real highlight of the game was the cheer Jonas got from both sets of fans.

P.S the Mackems losing in humourous circumstances was the icing on the cake.

The core strength and balance from Sterling in this clash with Kompany, who probably has 15kg on him:

 

[Jatz]

Think he probably got VK while he was a little bit off balance.

 

[charcoalchicken]

Kompany was really rattled that game 1st half especially, not the player he used to be.

 

[ADL9798]

Mmmm.. Kompany sees him coming and definitely throws his hip out to try to protect the ball. He was about as balanced as he could have hoped to be. Sterling's aggression and strength on the ball against much larger opponents has been one of the most surprising parts of his play over the last year or so. Immensely strong for a kid his size and knows exactly how to use his body.

hahaha oh mate. Kompany was seriously off balance when Sterling knocked him over, a feather could've knocked him over as he was already stumbling. A feather did knock him over actually.

assume what you were saying was tongue in cheek....

 

[elhadjihenry]

Agreed, VK was balancing his body to turn with the ball and Sterling was just going the man. Add that to a lower centre of gravity against a much taller opponent and its not surprising that Kompany ended up on the ground, half tripped over the ball too. Certainly nothing to write home about.

 

[glenferry23]

Kompany and to an extent Toure are shadows of themselves from previous seasons.

All three goals were class this morning.

 

[Magma]

yaya being absent defensively isn't exactly different from previous seasons. he was still pinging the ball around to his hearts content

the decision to go with 2 midfielders, where only 1 tracks back and helps an out of form and imbalanced defence cost us the game. and has cost us in the past, and will cost us in the future. i just don't get it.

 

[typeclub]

Pellegrini's system should have only 1 striker and 3 central mids. They only lost this one though because of wonder goals

[Stratton_Gun]

Are there any group of supporters (worldwide) that enjoy fapping over their team more than Liverpool supporters?

 

[kreglze]

Those Henderson and Couthino goals were great. Liverpool for fourth place look the goods.

I would have said we would be a sneaky chance for second place being only 4 behind but I just looked at the rest of City's fixture. The only games that should pose any threat are United and Tottenham away, they should still win those games regardless you would think.

 

[jod23]

Classy.

Heheh

That is both impressive and frustrating in equal measure.

If we can figure out how to to it all season, we will win a title.

I find it amusing that we're not allowed to fap even though we are in terrific form and just beat the reigning champions in a key game for our top 4 hopes, whilst scoring two absolute crackers.

We're called supporters for a reason. We support. We fap. That's the ******* point.

Think he probably got VK while he was a little bit off balance.

He took a step towards Sterling and planted his right foot in the ground. Good strength from Sterling.
