This club is going to kill me. I'm either going to have a devastating stroke or my heart will just pop like a balloon.
What a match. It went from utter despair, thinking that's it, title gone. Too an unreal, amazing, last minute, injury time winner. Just UNBELIEVABLE! Idk? Can it be our year? Are the Football gods shining upon us? I'm so proud of this Club. They just fight to the final whistle.
There were people streaming out of the ground with 5 minutes of normal time remaining. I'm scratching my head thinking why? You know the game isn't over until the final whistle sounds. Hope they are gutted that they missed something rather important.
Look at that. A fan being frustrated after a terrible 2nd half performance and potentially throwing any chance on the title away. What a shocker. I don’t know how many fans can stay happy when dropping points against an opponent we should be beating. I’m guessing not many
I really really hope and still believe that we will win the league but after December we should’ve been in a better position. Notice how I said it’s a bottle job from Klopp and not the team. If he was braver in a lot of games we would’ve won them. I do acknowledge his achievements with the team this season and I wouldn’t want anybody else as a manager. But there are so many things he can/could/should’ve done better the last 2 months and fans have pointed those things out.
Well of course we aren’t in this position because of the keepers of the opposition. But they have definitely helped us. I think we have at least gained 6 points because of their mistakes where in the past keepers usually played their best games of their life against us.
And last but not least. People really should take comments during the match less seriously. People will make emotional comments during the game, especially in a stressful title fight. So to insult them is incredibly low.
So don't make comments during games, I don't. And don't talk about throwing titles away until at least games are over. A lot can happen in just a couple of minutes, especially when games are tight, like this one.
We earned the "luck" we got in this game. We pushed and pushed and pushed for the winner, and eventually they cracked. We've scored 20 odd goals after the 75 minutes this season, that's not luck, it's good professionalism.
But even if we don't get the luck we really need in games we can't control, it's still going to be a great season. After 32 games last year, City could name the date they wanted to win the league. They won't be able to this year, thanks to all the records we've set and continue to set. And I still think we're 1 year ahead of schedule in terms of challenging for the league, let alone winning it.
In 6 weeks time, the season will finish, and we'll be wondering how to fill the summer gap. Nobody will care that this game was an average performance, if we get over the line. Compared to the same game last year when we were awesome before half time and appalling after it, this game ebbed and flowed. Sometimes we were the dominant side, other times we had to dig in and hold out.
Klopp loves the tried and trusted trio in midfield. But you're not going to get much creativity and we didn't. On the other hand, when 2 of them went off, the midfield was badly exposed which led to the VVD contest against Sissoko. That's why Jürgen didn't put Shaq on at Everton, or any other time we have to defend often.
I'm not having it that we were lucky. Today was payback time for 12 months ago when we were done by Jon Moss and his merry band of shysters. That said, the second half that day was ten times worse than yesterday. At least yesterday, we gave as good as we got, and when we did drop the ball we didn't panic, we just went and won it again. Those 5-10 minute outbursts of mass panic after a setback, are now history.
There were lots of posters here and people elsewhere ready to tell us the season was over, until the 89 minute, and were clearly upset that they can't. All we can do atm is win the games and ask City if they can respond. This game was the start of the run in, and we've cleared it. Performances are not important right now, it's all about the points.
This was the first game of the run in, and the most difficult obstacle left. I thought it would be a struggle and it was. The performance doesn't matter much tbh, we did what we had to do. Now we move on, and hopefully rack up these 6 more wins. It may still not be enough, but if it isn't, just remind yourself what we are competing against. Don't anyone dare say we have failed, because we will have had a great season.
