Wow I'd be amazed if Chelsea get 2nd. I'd actually fancy Spurs to finish ahead of them and they're 5th right now.

Each to their own I suppose but aside from the game in Europe, Chelsea have looked fairly mediocre lately.
And they're run in is also by far the hardest.

Chelsea will end up 5th for my money. (which isnt much)

They’ve been in turmoil lately but showed against Barca they’re far from done. Tomorrow will be telling. I expect them to get at least a draw and kick on. They’ve far too much quality in that squad. But sure, you might be right too and they lose tomorrow and drift aimlessly towards the end of the season.

The same can be said about all threads in fairness, although the majority of posters in both this and the United thread are very open to discussion and are not “obsessive” and “bitter”.

Hand selecting one posters comment to generalise against a whole thread is worse in fairness..

Ye should be enjoying your result, which was a very good one.

Good post. Yeah, you'll always have one or two on each side who'll charge in head-first. I think it's utterly bizarre for Pool fans to be gloating today for two reasons...

a. Utd have played a game less and will go second again tomorrow with a win.
b. Pool are still miles behind City

In other words, both Pool and Utd are well off the pace and that shouldn't be good enough for both sets of fans. Both clubs should be challenging per their stature - simple as.

On a side note, if ye do beat Chelsea tomorrow, feel free to come in here and give it socks. A few lads would deserve it tbh, for blowing the load too soon. :pac:

VVD is like a weight put on a wobbly wheel to balance it. Suddenly team looks far less wobbly with VVD in it.

c. It was just West Ham as well.
d. It was a team managed by Moyes (coming to Anfield and losing is nothing new for him).

No need to go charging to the Utd thread. But saw some stupid posts yesterday saying we would lose and crawl back under a rock. You just leave those idiots to themselves.

We've being in a race with them since Nov 1. They got a huge head start though. Lately we've being matching them or taking more points over a 10 game sample. The trend was there for weeks now, United dropping, Liverpool rising. I think we are good enough to challenge, I think City finish less than 12pts ahead of us. We're chipping away at that lead.

I doubt any reasonable United fan believed that ye would drop points today for 2 reasons.

1.david Moyes
2.david Moyes.

In fairness I was watching on the laptop while I had the Rugby on the TV, ye looked very steady at the back today, I know it’s only West Ham and that bot still, ye have looked ropey against weaker teams than that.

SuperTortoise

Just watched the highlights there, the shear ammount of chances we create is absolutely mental, and not just today either.

We had a few mins where you can see the difference. When they scored, earlier int he season, the team would have panicked a bit and given West Ham more chances. The changes in defence has been much much improved in that regard. Rather than going gung ho again and again, we actually stopped around the middle of the pitch for a few minutes just calmly passing between the defenders and midfielders. We made the West Ham players actually commit a few to try to make a tackle and therefore open some gaps.

Earlier it would have been hoof a ball down a channel for one of the front 3 to hopefully latch onto, wait to lose possession within a few seconds and be under pressure again.

VVD, Robertson instead of Lovern and Moreno has been a huge help. Whilst not perfect by any means, it's an improvement on before.

First up on TOTP so you can all get that much needed beauty sleep.

Liverpool are interested in Napoli’s 26-year old defensive midfielder Jorginho, who is the club’s first choice transfer target. [@_PaulJoyce]

Also says we are in for Alisson but only if Roma drop their asking price

I think VVD has given Karius a degree of belief and confidence too. I don't think he's the answer to our GK situation (would love if the Allison move happens in the summer), but for now Karius looks a little more solid than before.

Jorginho piece in the article isn't really much.

What is there about Alisson is Roma want to put a Salah tax on us.

West Ham United, Anfield: a team and a venue which conspired to create a moment Loris Karius could hardly forget.

It was in the corresponding fixture last season that the Liverpool goalkeeper’s first attempt to establish himself as the club’s long-term No 1 duly unravelled.

The manner in which he was beaten by a long-range Dimitri Payet free-kick during a 2-2 draw served to amplify the background noise produced by the German’s very public spat over his form with the Sky pundit Gary Neville. Liverpool were back in action three days later - Karius was not.

This, then, could be seen as Redemption Day. When Karius got his fingertips to Marko Arnautovic’s brilliant chip and the ball kissed the crossbar, rather than nestling in the back of the net, the visitors were denied seizing the lead after 15 minutes.

Another save from the same player three minutes before the interval then kept Liverpool’s lead intact, their 100th goal of an increasingly promising campaign arriving when Emre Can headed home Mo Salah’s corner from inside the six-yard box.

Karius had little to do in between despite West Ham initially making it difficult for the hosts, but then that is the life of a goalkeeper at Anfield. By making the saves when he needed to, he is doing his future prospects little harm.

Jurgen Klopp will buy a goalkeeper this summer with Simon Mignolet set to leave, having been usurped in the battle for a starting jersey by his 24-year-old rival. A No 6 and a replacement for Philippe Coutinho are also likely.

The wish list in the first two instances could take the Liverpool manager to Serie A. Napoli’s holding midfielder Jorginho would be the Merseyside club’s first choice, the problem being that the Brazilian-born Italian international would be the same for just about every elite side in Europe.

AS Roma’s Alisson is the preferred target for goalkeeping reinforcements, although Liverpool have backed out of the chase for his signature for the time being.

They are unwilling to pay a huge ‘Salah-tax’ to the Italian club for Alisson simply because 12 months ago they secured the Egyptian for a £36.9m fee that has been shown to be a steal.

If Alisson and his representatives fight to ensure his price tag is not prohibitive – and the latest figures range from anything between £60m and £90m – then Liverpool could return to the negotiating table.

As it stands, Karius has the opportunity to continue to impress Klopp. By the time he was beaten just before the hour-mark by substitute Michail Antonio’s angled drive, Liverpool had put daylight between themselves and David Moyes’ side.

Salah’s seemingly obligatory strike saw him match Luis Suarez’s haul of 31 goals from the 2013-14 season in the same amount of games (37) before Roberto Firmino beat the on-rushing Adrian to Can’s through ball and made it six goals in eight games.

An extra layer of gloss was added by Sadio Mane with 13 minutes remaining in a move which carried Liverpool from one end of the pitch to the other.

Karius, who had almost sold Virgil van Dijk short with a pass seconds earlier, recovered his poise to start a sweeping attack which flowed through James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Andrew Robertson before Mane applied a deft finish.

sO Liverpool moved back into second place in the Premier League for the first time since a 4-0 victory over Arsenal in August. They will do their best to stay there, just like Karius is trying his hardest to show he should remain in goal.

To be honest lads I never got it or believed this coming in peace ****e from either Man U or Liverpool lads in their opposing threads.

Does anyone actually believe that these sets of fans want nothing but the worst for each others clubs.

I don't post in the Man U thread because I have nothing but absolute distain for that club and don't want to get a perma banned.

I don't believe for one second that these come in peace fans for either club or not trying to have at the very least a small dig at their rival club when they post, no matter how clever they think they are being.

Hilarious these Man U fans coming in now ''congratulating" us on our great win today after knocking them down to third. Would ye ever feck off with that load a shíte!

Let's call a spade a spade. If we are Pool fans we don't want to see them doing well and vice versa.

Tis all bullshít.

Pogba would be great playing for Klopp.

Mason Holgate to his mates tonight:

'yeah lad, we beat Watford 6-1. I scored a hat trick and me third was a 60 yard overhead bicycle kick'

5starpool

That no look stuff from Firmino will bite him in the arse one of the days!

I'm happy with how things are going obviously, but we are still in a battle to get top 4. It really is any of 3 teams from 4 at this stage as a lot will happen in the next 10 games. 3 seasons ago though I was nearly dreading watching us play after things went stale for Rodgers so I enjoy watching us play, even if I don't always enjoy all the game.

The sooner the mods open up a dedicated thread for these combined "come in peace" Pool and Man U fans the better.

It will stop clogging up the main threads on both sides and leave the posters who want to engage in peace talks too it.

Have admit VVD’s Skype training with the rest of the squad while he was down in Southampton is really paying off.

Hope they are Skyping with Keita.

I can copy a paste a msg I sent to a fellow boardsie.

Its acestream that I got from reddit and it's absolutely class.

Can I have that info too please, via pm.

It's definitely been heading more towards only fans of the Superthreads posting in them over the last decade.

Its a lot different in January buddy
Its far harder to get a player in to replace him
RB will miss the player from 16/17 but they wont struggle as much replacing him in the summer time
Whats funny is Keita will quickly revert back to previous form as its not a talent problem just attitude...............until Barca come in a few years :pac:

Not relevant anymore, but Coutinho got a Coutinho special for Barca tonight.

Id gladly take those displays and performance metrics anytime. He is exactly what we need. An absolute dynamo with the added bonus, for me anyway, of a nice little bit of steel to put it mildly...

Osmosis Jones

Just watching MOTD and that Arnautovic chip off the bar was madness. He was running away from goal with nothing on and forced a huge save from Karius to stop him.

I think he will help ye, just not the this seasons version. He has zero interest in playing for RB
He has dropped in every way from 16/17

Watching motd that was an absolute rout, unlucky not to have another 2 or maybe 3. I dare tempt fate but is Andy Robertson finally our long awaited answer to our left back woes? He's absolutely everything you want in a full back. The usual suspects you could write about for ages, incredible stuff.

Antonio seems to be one of those players that often grabs one against us or perhaps I'm just imagining he's scored more than he actually has.
