Massive Game on Wednesday now. Time to look forward and forget about today. We don't know the quarter of what is going on at the club at present. We should be keeping our anger for our owners but for now let's get back to supporting Rafa and the Players. Agger,Gerrard, Aurelio, Aquilani and Skrtel will hopefully be fit and we will see a different team on Wednesday. We would do well to remember that if Rafa goes then he goes with £10 million plus and that's the transfer budget gone and tell me who in their right mind would put their career on the line to come to us when we haven't a pot to piss in. Only a shite manager with nothing to lose would even think about coming to us at present. Rafa has my full support and always will have. I dread to even think of him leaving. Come on redmen. Time for the season to get back on track with 3 points.
Great post but personally I'm not looking forward to this match cos it's going to be our biggest game this season forget the manure game this is going to be bigger cos cl football depends on this result cos I think we could take the other teams in the group.We must win at all cost to keep the dream alive for number 6 In Rafa I Trust
A repeat of last Sunday is whats needed. Just pray that this virus fcuks off and we can get a full strenght squad together cos its going to be a tough game.
Wednesdays game is a must win one alright. As marathonman said I think we will see a different team than today. Will Aquilani be started? It will be interesting to see if he does. I dread to think what will happen if we don't qualify for the CL knockout stages. When the chips are down we have always managed to deliver. It will be some night
i said a while ago that because of the financial position and reliance on CL football the sh1t could hit the fan as early as this january and now it is upon us. forget about rafa walking or getting sacked,if lpool lose on wednesday then you can say goodbye to at least 1 of our players in the next transfer window. this is an absolutely massive game,anything but a win for lpool and i think they're in big trouble. gerrard has been held back from possible surgery with this game in mind so we can take it that he will play some part,hopefully a few of the other injured/sick players will be back also....
every game from now to the end of the season is a must win as everyone knows but i think the club and rafa may have realised CL progression is vital for the club financially and the only major trophy we may win...
Top post mate and definitely called for .... so glad to see others posting to support you on already. Bottom line here is very simple, some of us went to Anfield last Sunday and joined thousands of other fans: - firstly, in a protest against the yanks - then to support the manager and the team The result of both of the above were (1) great coverage on the protest and (2) we embarrissed the Mancs and took 3 points, along with a fantastic memory away for the day. We need to behave in the exact same way now, for the next game - this time against Lyon. The 12th man is never more important, that after LFC have lost a match, so lets all get behind the team and make sure we encourage all fellow Reds to do the same. The bottom line is that if we don't, then Superfan's predictions on LFC having to sell top players to help pay the Bank etc will sadly come to pass and thats not what anyone here wants now is it ! ..... sorry Willie, but I'd far rather you got this prediction wrong mate
+ 1 , won't be at the game myself but i'm sure the loyal travelling fans including a few from this site will make the 12th man heard and get us right back on track.
It's really worrying that so much of that post is true. Lose this one and we're out, the implications could be gigantic. Suddenly a Summer's bid for Nando, Toomy, etc and we'd be in a position where we'd have to sell. In fact it would only serve to give the yanks a perfect excuse to sell anyway. What a bloody mess. We're more than capable of winning it, but the short term implications of losing it are unthinkable. I heard someone yesterday saying we'd be better off losing it to force the yanks out. But it wont force them out, they wont sell with us in the uefa cup, it would only lessen the price they can get. But it might be the catalyst for a big sale of our best players next Summer. Very very nervous about this one already. We should win it, but then again, I said that about the home match against the same team.
Biggest game since Istanbul, we lose expect mascherano to be sold in January, and club to be in control of the banks next July, this is not scare mongering its nearly certain to happen, TBH If the banks get control of the club and sell us to somebody who is deserving of the club then I'm prepared for the 2 to happen.
Frightening times right now, its disgusting what those two American cnuts have done to the club to be faced with this scenario of having to sell players to pay interest burdened on the club to buy itself! Makes me sick to the core
Huge huge game!! Its going to be a tough game away from home but as I said in the Fulham thread we needed a big performance against the Mancs and the lads delivered. I believe that they will go out on Wednesday and give the performance we need to bring the 3 points home!! We need to get behind them and support the lads because we can do this!
That happens and our progress will be thrown back 10 years mate, though I see where your coming from ... all for the greater good of getting rid of those two sh1ts. There's gotta be a better way though....
Don't know what to think , very worrying times .... hard to call the game until i see the 11 players who will start ..
ye ..whos fit will be a huge part of this one..! even at full strenght this one would be hard. our backs are to the wall in this one so we need a big performance. not to many outside of us believed we could produce one against utd so i sure we can do it again. 2-1 to us..
We can turn our season around with 3 points on Wednesday. We are lucky enough not to be playing until next Monday again as players can hopefully use the extra day(s) to recover for Birmingham at home Lose on Wed is unthinkable and i think Rafa and the boys know this. This is our Cup Final come early. Benitez risked alot of stick and throw back with his moves on Saturday but i believe in his ability and lets hope this gamble pays off. In Rafa I trust
Tough tough game as Lyon are no mugs at home. Its the toughest of our three remaining games. Getting beaten is not an option - a draw might be enough providing we win our last two. Alot will depend on the personnel available. I just hope that Rafa's knack of getting a good result when he needs it comes true again.
Need a win and a better than 1-0 win too. IMO a draw means Europa League football. Fiorentina will beat Debrecan and we must beat Lyon. I for one woke up more postive this morning after the worst month results wise since pre-shankly (dont know that for a fact but I would guess I am not far wrong). Win on Wednesday, beat Birmingham (after either the mancs or chavs or both have dropped points) and suddenly things will look slightly better.
