just when i thought negativity had diedHashSlinging wrote: »This is a public forum, people are entitled to their opinions Liverpool football club has the best fans, and some people get hurt and take it personal when they dont perform its called being passionate.. we are all paying fans and are fully entitled to come on here and rant all we want. So long as they follow the rules, whats the problem.
They're not alone, fans around the world have been upset with the way the season had been going, what type of FAN would you be to accept the games LFC have drawn this season, absolutely disgraceful performances at times, but we should all stand by and be happy according to some here.

I disagree, I think the way Villa could win this game would be 80 minutes of Liverpool pressure with one of those days written all over it, chance after chance missed. Then Young hits them on the break.
That said, I've really no idea how this game will pan out. But it'll tell us an awful lot about Liverpool in how they respond.
i think they responded quite well 0 -

wow, really enjoyed that
another great win, and another fine performance. i said a couple of weeks ago after the madrid game that i couldn't remember when i enjoyed watching liverpool play so much. enjoying their play is getting to be a regular occurance now. fabulous.
the afternoon started in a sombre manner with the perfectly observed minute's silence of Bryce Morrison. i don't remember the last time one wasn't observed properly but i still get a bit edgy that it won't.
still, with it observed, the match got underway at a wonderfully fast pace. alonso began pinging passes into the 'hole' straight away, riera was already giving reo-coker a headache, all while being given the freedom of the anfield pitch by a Villa side who, for whatever reason, left midfield wide open. maybe it was because they wanted to come and really 'play football', which was commendable, but liverpool would come to exploit it expertly.
ball over the top from reina, and reo-coker looks to have it under control. riera gets a torres-like run on him, gets in front and wins a free. gerrard steps up and whips it in viciously, alonso with the flick onto the bar, and kuyt with the follow up off the laces. strong finish and 1-0.
then for the next 10/15 mins villa up their game admirably. petrov, who iv never been a huge fan of, starts pulling some strings. carew is bossing the game in pool's half. skrtel and carra can't get near him. reina shows his worth with a couple of classy saves. it's all a bit uncomfortable in front of the Kop. villa smack another one into the box, which pepe calmly takes. who said he's dodgy on crosses? he pumps one of his now trademark kicks upfield quickly as villa's central defence tries to get back from up front after villa's last play. it drops over albert's shoulder. gareth barry, who was chasing, seems to either give up or assume he'll miss i don't know however it's another sweet one off the laces. 2-0 and anfield's bubbling.
it's still even enough in open play, but liverpool arguably look a little more dangerous. gerrard's clever positions and touches are a joy to watch. kuyt or carra (can't remember who!) plays a long diagonal onto riera's foot which suckers reo-coker into a moronic challenge seen as they're in the box. gerrard tucks away the penalty and it's all of a sudden comfortable.
the second half comes and within a few minutes it's 4. kuyt goes on a mazy run (yes, you heard me right), and wins a free off cuellar 20 yards out. gerrard places it beautifully inside the far post. 4-0. villa don't really deserve this scoreline. liverpool now overtake utd's goal difference, could that be important in the final shake-up? alonso is next to slide a pass through to nando, who takes a horrible first touch, but the next touch takes it past friedel who can't get out the way of him and it's a penalty. the red was harsh, not only because he couldn't get out of the way, but it was about to be 5-0. torres looks almost apologetic in the foreground of the camera as he knows he should've scored anyway; and if he had the decision wouldn't have needed to be made. a bit of common sense could have prevailed on the part of the ref. maybe i'm being biased; brad will miss the utd game after all. :pac: gerrard completes his treble, and then the rest of the game couldn't be anything but a procession.
a lovely cameo on about 80mins. reina takes the ball and is about to go for his traditional route 1 counter-attack. carra yells at him to calm down. priceless. it's like in a 7-a-side when you're keeper won't stop hoofing it when you're knackered from running back and forth. i enjoyed it anyway...
nothing else worth noting, and it ends. it's a harsh scoreline but we'll take it. sorry villa. the post-match interview with rafa has him in stern humour. he's not happy, we could have had more goals he says. he's probably right, but still, greedy f***er. he talks of keeping our feet on the ground. good to hear i say.
pepe...8 - whatever he had to do, he did confidently.
aurelio...7 - nothing special, but between he and albert young got nowhere
carra...7 - solid
skrtel...7 - again solid
arbeloa...6 - fine, but i'm taking a point off for that godawful cock-up when he tried to pass to nando. muppet.
masch...7 - what he had to do he did well
xabi...8 - given the freedom of midfield and picked stevie out at will. outshone barry too :pac:
riera...9 - best game in quite a while. reo-coker will have nightmares.
kuyt...7 - his touch always annoys me but you know what you're going to get. good hit for the goal.
gerrard...9 - wonderful again, found so much space and used it well. plus a hat-trick. top english league scorer in the league this season now.
torres...6 - he didn't need to be great, thank goodness, because he looked a bit off
so, liverpool take advantage of utd's slip up for once. i had to say it sorry there's a feel-good factor around the club at the moment. long may it continue. let's make no mistake though; 8 more wins is what's needed if we're to stand a chance. fergie's been in this game too long to allow his team continue to play like they are. please may i be wrong. but i'm confident they'll slip up again anyway, and we need to continue on the mother of all winning run-ins. we can hope and dream, but let's not quite get carried away yet.
the international break comes at the wrong time really, but ho-hum. maybe utd will stew a bit. may nothing happen to stevie, nando and any of our key players for that matter. that's all we ask.
i've not looked forward to a run-in like this for a long long time. it's been too long. thank you rafa. thank you team. keep it up. let's keep them utd ones on their toes because you just never know...0 -

Not between Liverpool and Utd it didnt.the closes in the Premier League was 1996-1997
liverpool were 7 points behind utd but liverpool ended in 3rd because of GD
but the closes was in 1946–47 in English football, liverpool won the league by 1 pt
travesty
Think Arsenal had games in hand. We may have actually been top but Arsenal had 3 games in hand.
