Farewell LEO: o_e_l_e_o
Welcome back everyone! Looking forward to put behind a week of misery, so I did something I don't normally do outside of a big match: I put down a big bet on Liverpool even with the lousy odds (I got 13/10) but I'm full of hope in my heart, as the Reds say every week;)
13/10 odd for Liverpool! I guess there are some typo here?
I see odd for Liverpool is 2/9 LOL
What am I missing?

By the way, I too hope that we do not have a miserable round like the last one.

Some people are wondering if Liverpool will win a "less than vintage" season in England with poor teams and fourth place now looking like it will be a record-low points total, but to make it in a third final will dispel all that nonsense. You can't be a less than solid team to already make it 2 finals in a row with the best in Europe.

But one game at a time, Atletico is a tough nut to crack!

Hey you Liverpool supporters, are you getting a bit uneasy now? The week of truth is upon us. If Liverpool doesn't manage to win against Atletico, and they will probably need a 2 goal win (away goals) their season is basically over in mid March. They would be out from all competitions and league title is already theirs. This just shows how cruel professional sports can be. Until 2 weeks ago Liverpool had the best season in history and now they end up with nothing but league title. If somebody asked LFC supporters before the season started if they would be happy with league title and early exit from all other competitions I am sure they would sign up immediately, but after the start like Liverpool had I guess the appetites have grown.

Anyway, after a run of bad results I am expecting Klopp to hit poor Bournemoth today with everything LFC has to raise spirits and belief for the Atletico game. Could be a bloodbath at Anfield today. This is the game I would love to be able to watch live. Thoughts?

@tbct: I had no idea only Madrid have ever successfully defended the Champs League, it would be just something special to do it, but I'll be over the moon just to make the final 3 years in a row.

Liverpool will win the title comfortably but losing to Chelsea means they’re out of the FA Cup. The fans will not be happy if they don’t get past Atletico in the CL.

Let’s see what happens.
I consider the Liverpool's defeat to Chelsea is a good thing for them. FA Cup is an old cup but to compare FA Cup to the Champions League, oh no it has no thing to stay at the same level of Champions League. From now, Liverpool will fully concentrate on the match with Athletico Madrid. They want to defend their championship title and it is their first priority now (Premier League has nearly been done for Liverpool).

If they successfully defend the Champions League's title, they will be the second club does it (after Real Madrid).
Their fans should better get use to the fact they won't be defending the champions league title as they're already out of the competition. The sooner they realize that, the easier it would be for them to forget the disappointment their best season so far has brought them. First they lose the invincibility quest, crash out of winning the FA cup and next in line is the champion league.

Assuming we still had more games to play in the premier league, they would had probably blew their chances of winning the league too but luckily for them, we just have 9 games to end the season.
9 more games left and with the big point gap, Liverpool has done their task in the league. It is an easy task for Liverpool to finish in next games.

For Champions League, it is too hard to defend the title but Liverpool has been strength enough to defend it. Of course, it will depends on their luck in next matches (begins with the match with A. Madrid).

Heh yeah I remember that letter. Klopp actually signed a letter back. He's done it before too, so no worries, that wasn't a jinx. At least last night I saw Bobby looking like he was fighting. I still feel we shoulda fielded our best team.

Won't deny feeling super deflated because we could have gone strong on all fronts but whatever it is, we trust in Klopp. We have to, that's how it works. Can't cherry pick what we don't like.

Cheer up boys (and I mean LFC and meself anyway eheh).

Perhaps the mid season break didn’t work in their favour and they’ve completely lost momentum?
Hmm:

Jurgen Klopp is set to reward his Liverpool stars with a week off rather taking them on a training camp next month.
He's been taking his players to training camps in past seasons, but he decided not to do it this year because of the winter break given by the FA  Roll Eyes

3 losses in the last 4 games, conceded goals in all of them and scored only 3, i think this is Liverpool's worst run in the last two years or so...that says a lot about this team, they've been in top-form for so long that this slump was bound to come sooner or later.

Lovren didn't play yesterday, but Liverpool looked bad again, especially in the second half. the complete defence seemed amateurish and it is only Klopp's fault.
it is good for them because they have already provided PL title but it's bad they have an Atletico against them in UCL and it will be very hard with such performance, and the Atletic will endeavour to use it for sure.

Someone remembered few weeks ago, and one 10yrs old kid (Manchester United fan) sending a letter to Klopp and asking from them to lose one game, so he got the answer that he could not? Liverpool lost 3 of 4 in the meantime  Cheesy

Liverpool fans need to calm down, they’ll win the title easily. One loss changes nothing, if you guys were offered to be in this position at the start of the season you would have thought it was a dream.

I haven't seen any fans crying or worried, but it will be very interesting if they happen to lose their next game in the PL and then the CL. Obviously Athletico will be much harder than Bournemouth but they're both at home. I actually expect them to win both but the CL game could be dicey. It would have to be the greatest fuck up of all time for them to throw the PL away right now though. I think they would have to lose seven out of their last ten games and that's assuming City win all theirs (though City do have a game in hand).
Yep, no need to panic yet LFC fans. Saw the match last night . Liverpool weren’t bad , just not their normal self. Their last 2 matches I’ve been waiting for them to go up a gear 65mins + , but it just hasn’t happened ! Perhaps the mid season break didn’t work in their favour and they’ve completely lost momentum?
They can’t lose to Bournemouth!!!!!?

^  It would've been cool to witness greatness tho (not that they aren't great).  EPL trophy, CL trophy, FA Cup trophy and 2019/20 Invincibles.  That's gonna be a feat that's never gonna be repeated again for decades.

If not a century. There's definitely a reason Arsenal got their gold trophy, it's unique and they won't care they held on to draws to keep that intact (but as Liverpool learnt last season, you can't draw in this modern decade when you have City toe to toe.

Chelsea up 1-0 and Adrian will feel he should have kept that out. Can't blame him. Fabinho basically cocked up so early on...

I cannot understand people. What did they expect? That we will never lose a game again?
I mean, Invincibles are a cool story. But just give me trophies, the other things are less important.

Frustrated? Not at all, I'm just happy to be able to see my team at the top of the game.

De Gea was going to wrong way due to the deflection, he wouldn’t have saved it any way. I can see why it was disallowed though!

I don’t want to talk about that fucking Watford game any more. We better improve against Bournemouth because I’ve paid for hospitality tickets.

The game against Chelsea in the cup is a free hit I guess.
@LFC_Bitcoin I can feel frustration today I was trying to talk with my few friends on social media but mostly don't like to talk about this shit as they are feeling some serious frustration about his match but now we cannot do any thing about this just look ahead.
In this round I have Zero points in pool and its first time happen in 2 seasons fail to have any point really embarrassing for me.

What did everyone think of the late disallowed Everton goal? Not sure how it was offside really. Ancelotti wasn't please. He got sent off after the match.

I think that player lying on the floor has influenced the play and therefore the goal is rightfully disallowed. He was on the grass, the ball was going directly to his legs, he moved them and ball finished in the net. That definitely influenced De Gea reaction.

For example, if he was a meter to the center of the goal and didn't moved his legs and the ball just passed by him I would judge the situation as no offside.

@Trofo agree with Lovren. Like I said, I like him, but the blame rests squarely on the whole squad, who've definitely got an eye on European action.

@cryptofrka: It's possible the media riles him up a lot and he keeps falling for it, but from his personality on the LFC videos, I suppose he does have some kind of ego (so does Salah but it's all healthy and fun haha).

@hilarious: Bournemouth to win at 12/1 but to be fair, there hasn't been a team above 20/1 to win against Liverpool yet I've seen all season... whereas City keep getting those odds. So while Pool's definitely had good form, a lot of people still probably think overall talent at City makes for a wider gulf in class. Stats seem to agree too, if not league standing.

@toke: I had a lot of sun just 2 months ago and immediately felt better... it really is a Vit D deficiency sometimes!

I've seen a few VARs this season to disagree with but the last one against Everton has to take the cake for worst goal-related call ever in the EPL (last week's Spurs shoulda-been red is the worst but not goal related).

^  Fatigue is setting in.  And the winter def makes it worse.  I used to see SAF take his boys to the middle east (I think at Dubai) to do some light training under the sun.

VAR OUT.  Well..  At least Ancelloti showed that he's really passionate about their cause.  Grin
