I reckon Chelsea will get 18/19 more points at best, given their form to date. Meaning we only need to win 4 from 9. Unless we totally fall apart or Chelsea perform a miracle, it's as good as done.

I know Doc has put Modo on suicide watch but if Brendan reads this it'll likely put him over the edge too.
Put me on suicide watch when we win shit.
He also copied Firmino Matador celebration too yesterday and has such a cheeky grin when he does it.
When Mane scored the camera focused on Rafa, who was scribbling in his notebook. What does he write down? "55 mins goal against"? He can surely look that up later.
Grow up Ryan, he was fucking dogshit for ages and rightly got criticised for it.
Not bitter about Rafa's defeat one bit then.
So you're saying the criticism was personal then? The lad genuinely looked like a 12 year old between the sticks for us before this latest and only spell of impressive form. He looked genuinely inept in every department so spare us the bullshit mate.
Ahh the standard "in hindsight I was right" pretentious bollocks from Ryan.
When Karius was flapping around, making no saves and fucking up every time he played, we were all wrong lads.
I'm not sure as football fans there's much else we can judge a player on other than form, especially when there's no previous great form to compare poor performances to. Somewhere up their on that higher plane, I'm sure there's some blessed chalkboard that continues to tell you otherwise though.
And just for shits and giggles, "in hindsight":
Covering all eventualities. Gotcha.
Covering all eventualities. Gotcha.
Ryan has a point regarding the people who wrote him off though. The criticism of his previous form and performances was justified obviously, as he wasnt good enough. At all.
But the people who completely wrote him off are the same people who make their minds up about a player after 1 game.
Robertson, Oxlade, Firmino and Karius. The list is long with players that have developed over time and improved.
It just shows that some players wont make an instant impact but it can take time or the right set up for them to develop and contribute.
The first game they're involved in wont set a precedent about the rest of their Liverpool career.

Who was judging him on his first game? I wasn't. When he was putting in shit performances 18 months on, I don't think it was unreasonable to criticise.
Robertson was resoundingly praised by everyone on here from the off, because he put in good performances whenever he played. The only person I remember criticising Robertson was Dreambeliever, go figure.

Remember we talked about not giving a fuck what people say? This would be one of those occasions dude.
Woosa.
It's not worth arguing about.
BT Sport Extended Highlights too (better quality than the MOTD link)

Hardly
Aren't you the one who posted gif highlighting both our keepers are shite?
I know it's a comparatively trivial thing, but I found it pretty surreal after the game yesterday when the interview with Klopp turned into a semi-jokey moan about Gerrard losing a few of his players to the first team squad. I don't mind Gerrard part-timing as a pundit but it's not a good idea for him to cover our games. It's a bit like Roy Evans butting into a post match interview with Shankly to complain about the state of the reserve team's practice pitch.
Name dropping and humble brags aside, I promised more tickets out than I had yesterday so woke up having a whitey about it all and completely certain i wasn't going.. but as all the flights and ferries from Dublin were cancelled due to weather I quickly solved my (6) ticket deficit, and was then invited into corporate for the same reason, and ended up getting my mate and his son in there too... for his son's birthday.
This kid was in his lovely mum's belly and about to escape when Dirk got that hattrick against Man U, and me and his dad were at that match, and when we saw his mum said that if it was a boy and if he did pop out later that weekend then they'd have to call him Dirk. He popped out the next day, they called him Jimmy, but I've always called him Dirk. His folks don't mind, think it's funny. Well anyways, we all got freebies into the Shanks lounge yesterday, off the dude who used to drive Shanks to the match, when this dude was in his teens. Not Liverpool games but games he wanted to attend to scout players etc,
It was ace having little Dirk sat next to my mate telling him why the lounge is called The Shanks, telling him my mate was Shank's mate and used to be his driver, and why I call him Dirk. And even though he's only six or whatever, he watched every minute of the game. Loved it. Was ace.

I thought it was really awkward and cringe and not remotely amusing.
I like the lad's name... ;-)
My youngest is called Jimmy, but I've always called him Blarbz. No-one can remember why, but even his mates call him it. He's just started producing music and calls himself Blarbz.
If you get a nickname that isn't insulting, you need to treasure it. At school I was known as "Sid" and I was happy with that.
My surname is Crump. I used to get all kinds of shit in school about it when I was small, and my older brother used to tell me that the day he was 16 he'd change it by deed poll. I asked my dad about it and he said that he had solved the situation in his earlier years by insisting everyone called him by his forename and not even acknowledging a shout of Crump, no matter who it was from. I went to bed that night and weighed up the options and decided that on the contrary, I would stare that tiger down and demand that I must be addressed as Crump from that day forth. Even my brother and my wife call me Crump, though they are both Crumps.
He should be on Gooner TV with a name like that!
Jimmy became my nickname during my elementary school days. It followed me into high school, and my mates from school still call me Jimmy.
I like the name.
