Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

If we had gone unbeaten since that game and not played city then yes you could say it would have influenced the title race, we dropped points after that game, we played city and did'nt win, ultimately if there is one point of the season you could pinpoint and say that's where we lost it it would have been the game in the etihad, for me anyway.

city were marginally the better team this season, and yes the financial doping makes it a bitter pill to swallow but it was in our hands up to the city game.

No slight on this brilliant team to once again run them so close, hopefully next weekend we will get our rewards.

Hmm worse would be City losing and us drawing, which was the case for a lot of the game, and it was torture.

Hang on, i've just watched the Watkins miss in the city game, he was offside from a goal kick? WTF?

Swings and roundabouts really.

If bernardo played for us, I'd love the little prick for being like that.

Ilkay is a baller though, no doubting that.

An odious little rat, is my go-to description of him.

Great player, though.

English football culture, innit. You’ll see absolutely no condemnation of assaults at football matches unless the aggressors are from any other country.

To sum up today anyway, the results are totally as expected. I was relaxed before the game, and relaxed now knowing that we did what we needed to. Obviously, it probably would've been better had City gone 2-0 up after 10 mins as most of us expected, the fact they went 2-0 behind gave us all hope only to be dashed in 5 mins, which is where any sense of disappointment is coming from. We won the game, breached the 90 point mark again, well done to Klopp and the team. Not much point in paying too much attention to the posts of fans of fallen giants who now bathe in the glory of another team's success at our expense - it is, what it is.

Onwards to next week against Madrid, hopefully a couple of our injury concerns clear up and we do the business. To claim 3 trophies would be a phenomenal season.

The Liverpool sub reddit are being so salty.

In fairness Man City had a week to prepare for the game. Aston Villa chased after Burnley for 90 minutes on Thursday night and it was to be expected that their team would tire in the second half today. The balance of the game shifted then but Villa had done well up to that point.

Not forgotten, but easier.

Was this posted? Great send off for Origi.

I was the same as you. On the road for work, pulled into a petrol station for a break and looked at the score. 1-1 Liverpool and 2-0 to Villa. Comments on here were of the order that we wouldn’t win our game. That would have sickened me. I kinda knew Liverpool would pull through as we don’t give up but couldn’t believe the City score line and gave myself hope for 5mins, until the first City goal went in and I expected the flood gates to open.

Not remotely disappointed as I fully expected these results and a 90 point season from a team that is fantastic to watch with 2 cups in hand and a possible extra one. Plus a manager that extended his contract.

Tell me anyone here, that at the start of the season if we said we would be on for 4 trophies and looking good for all of them, you would A believe that and B tell me that’s not good enough to get at least half those and possibly 3 out of 4. Incredible, unforgettable season.

As an aside, talked to a few Utd supporters yesterday (relations) and they wanted this outcome for the league. All I had to mention was Brighton and their +1 goal difference (as of yesterday), but I couldn’t remember how distant they were in position or points and that ended the silliness. I have no stupid text messages today as a result. Got more crap from my Everton supporting brother oddly.

One or two having a go at Toby. He honestly said we would be right there at the end of the season with a point in it very early on this year when ALL of us said we ain’t catching them. He does talk some shite :) but on this he was right.

I'm not sure how to feel. On one hand I understand the people who would have rathered City go ahead after 10 mins, because it would have made the day more straightforward, it was always in City's hands and they deserved it over the course of the season. I also have a soft spot for Gundogan after the injuries he had.

But I ran about like a madman when Mane scored (the offside one) because right then, for one perfect moment, it felt as though we really might do it, that this team, this wonderful team, might win us a league and be able to celebrate it in front of the fans.

We won our own match, which is all we could do. I would have loved it if we could have got the league, and I'm sad that it didn't happen. I wouldn't say disappointed though because it was always a mammoth task, and the team has been brilliant, fighting on all fronts and securing two trophies.

It's been a special season, and it's not over yet. Roll on Saturday

Feck sake, Everton should have had that penalty against city, plain as day, corrupt or just plain incompetent officials, VAR supposed to cut out these errors

There's a very real chance it'll take 102 points to win the league next year, and that's equal parts exciting and terrifying.

What are these VVD, Keita and Fabinho doubts again?
