Liverpool F.c.

[P45Mustang]

Good Luck boys, fair play.

If Chelsk can't scrape it, I'll be totally honest with you, I'd really like Liverpool and Brendan Rodgers to do it.

I have got no axe to grind with City or Arsenal.

[StevieH]

still am not going to say there's a "fair" chance. we're still outsiders in a race of three. but i am going to vanish off the face of the earth for a week if we do do it.

If City dont win vs Utd, and we can win all of our games, we'll be champions. Hard i know, but i think it'll take something silly like that for us to win. Nevertheless, still been a fantastic season from Liverpool and Rodgers.

oh i know the maths mate. but i refuse to get beyond one game at a time here. we might yet win them all, but i will not countenance that kind of thinking. we're not at home to mister complacency. just keep winning. beat sunderland then regroup for spurs. keep trying very hard to keep clean sheets and just keep getting the ball to suarez and sturridge as quickly and as often as possible.

and yeah, been a gas this season. and it isn't over yet. the thought of us winning it from here genuinely scares me. because it might be the <deleted> death of me.

man i was barely able to get served in a pub last time we won the title. so yeah i'm dreaming too. and planning a flight back for the newcastle match already. but still, one game at a time like.

'Last report was 48 meters, what will it be in a years time?'

Depends what medication he takes.

In English football. pitches are xxx yards x xx yards. Goals are 8 yards wide and 8 ft high. The penalty area is known as the 18 yard box, the penalty spot is 12 yards and a player has to retreat 10 yards from a free kick..........so, why the hell is everyone referring to Rooney's goal in metres?

Maybe players should retreat from a free kick 10 x 91.44 cm ?

Oh by the way Rooney's goal was about 52.49 yards out.

I guess I'm a bit stuck in time Mr B.

But I also can't stand the way statistics have crept into football. Assists, tackles won, passes attempted etc etc, it's all going American and I thought football (or should I say soccer) was above all that crap. I didn't need anyone to tell me how many successful dribbles Best made, how many superb strikes Rush made on target or how many crunching tackles Dave Mackay made. Personally, I think it's all a load of nonsense, I, you, we all know who the good players are.

BTW how are you so clued up on the hair transplant subject?

E.g. I watch the Suarez & Sturridge partnership, I know it works, it's exciting and great to watch. I'm not really interested in anything other than that.

Agree with just about all that Ups, though I have to admit I kind of like the assists category. As for the rest, it is an abomination and I speak from experience being from the states. Honest to God, if you watch baseball on the telly the amount of meaningless statistics shoveled out is mind boggling. Of course given the games often last between three and four hours, the commentators must fill a lot of what otherwise would be dead air. I would prefer the dead air.

NFL football has become nearly as bad.

I agree with you to a point. Especially the "assist" statistic. Its quite pointless because you could pass the exact same ball to three different strikers of conflicting abilities and maybe only one will score. Exact same pass to RVP or Kenwyn Jones for example!

However, statistics alerted Spurs to Eriksen "creating more scoring opportunities" last season than any other player in the main five european leagues so we had a fair inkling that 12m was a snip. that statistic is far more relevant than the stupid assists which actually tells you more about your strikers.

All the years that I have rode on the roller coaster ride being a City fan hasn't made me bald yet p45, so no matter what happens tonight I'm confident I'll still have hair in the morning. Now my finger nails are a different story

I took some stick on here about October/ November time when I used this stat to show how well Gerrard was playing and how important he was for us. At the time (and wouldn't mind betting he's still up there) he had created the most "scoring opportunities" in the league. Many said define a "scoring opportunity" and "what a load of crap". Sometimes in my opinion it does have its uses and I am sure someone like Brendan Rodgers is as well as an extremely good man manager and tactician, he's very into his "stats".

Don't mind these old gits with jumpers for goal posts, probably still use an an abacus for a calculator. btw Ups was waxing lyrical about United stats this morning

I find stats interesting, sometimes they might not mean much but other times they do and patterns do occur. I think FSG know a bit about it too.

Well i was never nasty to you was i. I agree with you.

[sambhi92]

What Rodgers has done with Gerrard this season has been amazing, he's slowly turned him into a Pirlo type of player, hes probably creating more chances now then he ever did. Although i should say the style of football we play now probably helps him.

I daresay this will unleash another hissy fit, but as have said before, Hogson was the one who really initiated Gerrard's evolution into the player we see today, during the last world cup, when he used him so effectively. After that competition, I got it on the neck on here for stating my views that Gerrard was no longer best employed as a gunning forward, attacking, goal scoring midfielder, and would be better used by Liverpool, as he was used by England, in a more defensive role, further back, starting moves off. I was told I was stupid, or words to that effect, and that Gerrard would always be best in an attacking role, to which my response was, well, let's see where Liverpool play him then. I think we have our answer, do we not?

• Capello was manager at the last world cup
• A deeper role with England was only out of necessity to fit other players in to the starting line up
• The last WC was 4 years ago when Gerrard was still a lethal attacking midfielder and it was still his best role
• He has single handedly carried Liverpool through games and won games on his own as an attacking midfield/striker since the last WC. It's only the fact that LFC were in rapid decline via the previous owners that he didn't have the personnel around him to help excel or add credence.
• The only reason he is playing in that role now for Liverpool is to fit him in to a team that attacks at a pace he couldn't keep up with at his age/stage of his career
• This won't be a full-time role for too long, we will need to bring someone younger in next season.

If you'd have made those comments last season maybe but in my opinion 4 years ago was too soon.

I'd have to agree with comments regarding Rodgers influence, it is not a coincidence that he is getting the best out of every single player on that park and it is blatantly obvious the improvements in multiple players in that team.
