Desperation isn't an attractive quality, and Liverpool stink of it. It doesn't do them any favours.
Jurgen Klopp Sack Watch

They will. As good as they look right now and as much as you could easily see them beating the rest of the sides they play, they will have one game where the ball just won't go in the net, or one where another player like Townsend slams it top corner.
I doubt they'll drop many, but they'll drop some.
Yeah of course. I know you/us as fans can't say much as it's not personally us saying them or believing it.
I just think that Klopp has gone from a universally loved figure to someone who people are starting to get annoyed by. I don't think he has changed in any way, he was always relatively petulant with digs here and there but people blew it off as "passion" - now that Liverpool are close to winning the big thing and a lot of people would rather they didn't, his comments are now seen negatively/childishly/for what they are.
Just wonder if Liverpool fans care/may be annoyed by the way people view their once widely loved manager currently.
VVD says it says a lot Everton were celebrating 0:0. From a club which celebrated a 2:2 draw with WBA.
Good call!
I think Ole is taking the bigger picture pressure off of our squad similarly too, similar to what Sterling is trying to say. Mourinho was very much all gloom and doom looking at the position at the end of the season rather than what we can do to get the next 3 points! Can you imagine the car-crash that would have been Jose's last couple of pressers given the injury crisis?
Excellent.
Is the horrible windy British weather getting you down?
Is it constantly interfering with your title challenge?
Is the wind causing too much pressure for you and your club?
Is it causing you too produce verbal diarrhoea, incoherent rambling, and awkward fake nervous laughter?
Are you frustrated that it appears that ONLY YOU seem to suffer?
Don't you just wish the wind would just go away?
Then slip 3 of these every week until May. (best before 2050)
I am pretty used to it by now. Rafa and houllier were maligned by the press, Hodgson was loved. Feck em.

Yes, how many years must a scouse pray and wait
Before the’yll win the league again?
Yes, and how many ears must one scouse have
Before he can hear his fellow scousers cry?
Yes, and how many draws will it take till he knows
That too many points have been lost?

I hear a petition has been set up to have all future games played indoors.
The Millenium Stadium Cardiff?
The only wind I can see is the hot air that has been coming out of Klipperty ever since he took the job.
First paragraph is what Klopp wanted everyone to think while at the top. Second paragraph is what his players felt.Love that Klopp was trumpeting in the run-up that being in pole position means that other teams have all the pressure to keep up.
Now Robertson comes out post-match and says the pressure is definitely off us and all on City now as they are in pole position and have to stay there
It's consistent with the context and outcome.
I'm not sure from your post whether you're agreeing that it's hypocritical and the message is changing whatever the position the club is in, or if you are disagreeing with me because you feel that one observation was from the manager and the second from one of his players?
Whichever way the wind is blowing I find it, as I say, hypocritical … and for my money it'd be points in the bag EVERY time!
When is the title gonna be renamed to ''Jurgen Klopp - Sack Watch''.
Jürgen Klopp - MetWatch
It doesn't all have to be agree/disagree.
Hypocritical is Klopp saying the pressure was on City chasing and now Klopp saying it's on City keeping the lead.
What I was pointing out was that it looks very much like being in the lead was doing their head in. Players shat the bed and Klopp was trying to make it about pressure on the chasers (correct IMO), now he is aligned with how the players felt all along: being ahead is too hard.
Got it! Perfectly this time. Looks like we agree 100%

Blamed the wind for their loss to us in the FA Cup too.
Can't play in wind obviously.

English is not my native language, nor I am Bob Dylan's biggest fan, however, I enjoyed this one a lot. Imagine SAF singing this...
Wind, snow, possession and someone losing 4kg, could be a long haul through customs on their next Champions League away fixture. Then again they could bottle it.
Did he really blame the wind again?
I think ‘The Kloppite Kollection Of Konspiracies: Jürgen Explains Fussball For Dummies’ should now soon be in the stands next to ‘The Old Testament’, ‘The Complete Chuck Norris Sayings Vol II’, and, of course, ‘The Ole Testament’.
Mourinho was speaking to Keys & Gray about that yesterday. He said that when you're chasing it's like you're playing two games every weekend, yours and the game the side above you is playing as well. You're hoping they drop points and putting your energy into that as well as putting energy into your own game.
City are a better team than us. Better manager, better squad, better starting XI etc. They've been better than us all season.
Have to agree with this.
Yeah, absolutely. Being on top gives you that piece of mind because you know that if you sort it on your end you will win the league.
I think this is true, but hey, who knows? I think you benefited for a long time from City being a bit complacent having won it already, and maybe that'll creep in again and you can go for it.
United vs City will be a fascinating game, United obviously need to go for the win due to the top 4 battle but how will they feel if that wins Liverpool the league? Such a double edged sword.
I wouldn't even be mad if they throw the game against City. I know I would want us to do the same thing rather than help United win another title.
It's good that they still have top 4 to play for otherwise I wouldn't have a doubt in my mind that they'd gift City the win.

Did that kid get arrested yet for clapping
They definitely won't throw it.
The fans might care more about Liverpool winning the league, but Ole and the players will be far more concerned about their own goal.
Will be a weird day for United fans, I've heard some on here say they'd happily miss out on top four as long as Liverpool don't win the league, not sure if that's a majority though.

He won't be clapping any time soon.
Liverpool to North Korea? What punishment is that?
Yeah, I had a very different picture in my head.
You filthy animal.
Losing against City may or may not affect United's chances of finishing in the top four but it undoubtedly will affect the outcome of the title race. Liverpool aren't going away despite what their current less than impressive form suggests. I expect them to raise their game as the season draws to a close - the front three especially.
Both Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs will continue to drop points over the coming weeks, just as they have all season long, so we could effectively throw the City game and make up the difference in the four remaining ones. Throwing away 3 points is a risky proposition any way you slice it but I think it's an acceptable one all things considered.
I realize this may be an unpopular opinion.
