Liverpool was outstanding in Anfield yesterday. Champions league title is unpredictable however I am sure we are not going to miss Premier League this season. @buwaytress, excited brother?
I'd promised my kid and others I would finally give Slot the green verdict after City's game at Anfield. Whether we win or not, I can already deliver 90% of that heh heh
Allow me to be the Devil's advocate and remind that yes we've won big games so far but:
- We drew to a weaker Arsenal
- We beat Leverkusen at Anfield, but they were shellshocked and out of sorts
- We beat Real also at Anfield, who were at half strength and missing our chief tormentor Vini
- We beat Chelsea but only because they had not yet settled down the way they have
- We face next a City team who has never been this mentally shaken (on and off the pitch).
We still needed to play well, for sure, and Slot's reserved approach has really appeared to save our energy levels, so I'll give him that but I feel like this is the season of confluence. The biggest teams are at their most vulnerable, while we are finding a way to overperform.
Of course I'm excited! I have an 8/1 bet on us to win the Prem!
Premier and CL is possible only if the club start talking to Salah about contract extension, he's the engine of the team and needs some sort of assurance about his future, he's getting pissed up. I bet the club wouldn't want to ruin the fantastic season he's having. Give him the damn cheque.
I agree. This will be the last extension by most standards, and while we hate overpaying and overstating (as it gives precedence), I think Salah deserves mo. And we deserve to have him see out the next 3,4,5 seasons on a high.
Give Mo his dough!
