      Excellent 'internet-based' joke in your first post as well.  Welcome to the forum.  And we are VERY much in it what with being top.

      OK, what do people think about this.... how would you feel after 30 games, if liverpool where clear at the top by 2 points.! maybe that would help our current issues with our outstanding position but downtrodden mentality.

      I don't think we are playing VERY badly. We have possesion and pass well. Just that we don't shoot and can't score! Or just that my eyes deceive me

      Hopefully that this will be just a blip, and we'll start motoring over the Christmas period.

      Chelsea aren't exactly firing on all cylinders and the mancs, even though looking dangerous, have a leaking defence. And Arsenal look like us in the 90's, geared up for the big games but struggling against lower opposition.

      First post for a while (and maybe for sometime afer) cos I'm in me sickbed at the moment, coughing me guts up with this F***ing flu.

      Anyway back to more important matters than my health ;) Liverpool's health. I've said it before maybe we're not playing sh*t, but simply as well as we can. We're into December now and that has got to be more than just a bad run of form. We've had the odd special performance - United/Everton/Chelsea but three out of fifteen? That's more than playing sh*te. People'll look at the Wigan and City games where we've scored three and say we played well but we didn't really, we played well in spells. They weren't games we dominated for large periods, instead they were games very much like Fulham and West Ham except in those cases we didn't take the chances when they came.

      We're playing to a reasonable level at times, for example the second half against City or the first half against Bolton, but seem unable to keep pressure on for the majority of a match. We need to up it from reasonable form though rather quickly. There's players who still need to up their game, and that's not just the obvious choices but the likes of Agger, Masch and Riera as well.

      Don't get me wrong, I'm over the moon we're top and I couldn't give a monkeys if we draw every game from now until May if it means we win the league, but I'm starting to feel that 15 league games into a season is too long to keep saying "we can only get better". You look at our form and think it can only get better surely, but if it hasn't between Sunderland and West Ham why will it suddenly kick into place now?

      Almost started a similar topic myself yesterday.

      If we take a step back then yeah - we are normally chasing 4th spot at this stage of the season, so to be top of the league and knowing we are chronically under-performing then that does say a lot.

      Fingers crossed we start turning our performances around on Satdee!


      This is it. We are top and we haven't played as well as we know we can. At some point this team will find its feet (and the goal) and then it will get interesting. Saying that, we could still be top by May and still playing indifferently but I doubt it some how.

      At some point we will (need to) pile on the points with solid performances.


      When did they say that Torres will be ready?  ::)

      Just need to hang on a little longer without him! ;)

      When he's back, we'll still be top, or damn close. Then it'll be time for the rest of the league to start filling their pants!

      He's talked so often about the trophies he wants to win with us, and we all know how fired up Gerrard is about it too! He's going to be fresh, determined, and I honestly don't think the other teams will know what's hit them! :D

      Dammit. Just watched manure get a goal against sunderland in injury time to win 1-0. Still, the gap remains 6 points between us and the mancs.
      Sunderland defended and defended and done it very well but when you plan on doing that for 90 minutes you're going to be in danger. Having said that, Sunderland deserve all 3 points just for singing You'll Never Walk Alone just to remind those dirty mancs that we are (and this is where the title of this thread comes in)... TOP OF THE LEAGUE  :D

      Wasn't expecting any favours off Sunderland.

      United can do what they want.

      We'll just carrying on winning.
