      I think what's been a positive this season is that nobody took us seriously, hell even now some aren't even considering the possibility we can win it. 

      They're still saying "the defense isn't good enough", "we concede too many", "we're playing at capacity so the wheels will fall off eventually", "we can't keep going at this rate/pace", "Luis won't keep scoring" "Danny can't keep scoring", "we're not used to the pressure", "we don't have the experience" blah de fu**ing blah.

      If anything we're getting better, more determined, more clinical but keep it to ourselves eh folks then hopefully by the time we overtake the chavs it'll be too late for anyone to do anything about it  ;D

      One game at a time. The players can't afford to get ahead of ourselves, 10 games is a long time.

      Lets beat the scum and move onto next the next game.

      If we can get through these 2 away games as victors, it's 'just' Chelsea and City in our way.

      Anfield's giant has awoken from it's slumber.

      Ive said for awhile now - we probably need 87pts to win this thing...

      so for us,that means in our last 10 games - 9W and 1D...

      time to believe :)

      It's great that this thread is rumbling on! It had a bit of a novelty feel to it for a while ago but here are, 10 games to go, unbeaten this year and were right in the thick if it! Unbelievable really. Terrific job by the staff and the players and this actually feels a better opportunity than in 2008-9 to me. If we can win at old toilet I think the press attention will really ramp up and then we can see if the players can keep their nerve.

      Given how long it's been and how much we all want it, I really feel the Anfield crowd can be the difference in the run in with so many of our big games coming at home. I've witnessed some incredible atmospheres on champions league nights and if we could reproduce that hostility on a Saturday/Sunday afternoon then there is nothing we can't achieve.

      Nice to see the manager and owners giving a big kick in the balls to all the naysayers who said we couldn't / wouldn't do it. Nice to see them piping down now that they have their negativism rammed back down their throats.

      We are right in the mix, and although we are outsiders we have a genuine chance. If anything we have momentum with Enrique, Sakho, Lucas to come back plus some potentially interesting contributions from Ibe and Texeira.

      We need some dominant aerial presence at the back and Mig needs to come through his wobble but otherwise we are looking in good shape.

      Harsh that , is that what it's all about for you . Can't good Reds have any criticism of manager or owners . Rodgers has taken all the criticism and taken it on board listening to our concerns and that's what impresses me about him .As for the owners , they haven't done much only hindering him .

      Of course everyone's entitled to an opinion - that's what football's all about.

      But those who supported him from the start have the right to hold other people to their opinions. No doubt had Brendon failed half the posters would be on here saying "I told you so" in every other thread and the NESV thread would be at the top of the page. I'm surprised you would think otherwise.

      Instead we have made massive progress - that's now undeniable so I'm happy to see his detractors both inside and outside of the club having to shut up for a while. It's odd you think the owners have "hindered" him by sacking Kenny and giving him the job against so much resistance - I guess Ferguson "hindered" Moyes in the same way.

      Back to the topic, it's clear that our lack of European competition and clever use of the loan system has worked out well in terms of our smaller squad size. There is a cohesiveness in the group that has worked well for us. The UNited match has become even bigger now; if we get a solid result there our confidence will be through the ceiling.

      That's nonsense by mentioning Kenny's sacking it's you that's stirring the sh*t , The owners have consistently left us down in each of the last 2 transfers when it was clear to see that we needed strengthening .

      Considering we are just four points off the top with both rivals to come to Anfield and only 10 games left I think it's safe to say we've challenged. Whether we can go on and win it is a different matter though. Needing to beat both City and Chelsea and then hoping other results go our way is a very tough ask.

      But if anyone can do it, it's Liverpool.

      COME ON YOU REDS!

      Agreed mate , and there are a lot of title winning scenarios that could go our way , Spurs playing Chelsea ,  a draw is possible there dropping 2 for them .

      Spurs could beat them if they're on their game, but I think I'd be happy with a draw.

      This is the best chance we have had to go and win the league in a while, i think back in 09 we had a good chance however the teams around us were a bit stronger than they are now, aka United. Now Chelsea, City and Arsenal are all dropping points, so in my eyes its in our grasp, we just need to take it a game at a time.

      I want to believe we can do it, just don't want to be distraught if we don't. But i have a feeling regardless of where we finish i think this will be a proud season for Liverpool FC.

      It feels like a better opportunity to me than 08/09, partly because the "lesser teams" are more than capable of getting points - whether its 1 or the full 3 - agaknst the bigger teams and because we seemore capable of finishing teams off no matter how many the other team score. We only lost 2 games all season but we also lost 11. That season i felt that if the other team scored 2 or 3 that we would probably only get a point but this season i feel that it will take the other team scoring 4 or 5 to even have a chance. We relied too much on Torres whereas this season we could potentially have 2 strikers who surpassed his tally that season.
