Be pleased if they don’t get that record. Should have been ours in 2011 and I still haven’t gotten over VDS fecking it up against West Brom to cost us a perfect hole record for the season.
Premier League Gameweek 35-37 + FA Cup semis
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Now that they drew with Burnley, they must win all 3 to break the points record right? so hopefully that gives them some incentive
So is this the record total gone then @Klopper76?
Salah was awful today
If Liverpool win the last 3 games, that'll be 103 points
A big team should be in for Nick Pope hes a decent keeper
Bloody hell, Chelsea are going to beat Liverpool aren’t they
I don’t think they will. I think Burnley is a tougher game for them than Chelsea with their defence. And it’ll be seen as a big game. Plus their last of the season at anfield.
Klopp meltdown incomming. Who will he blame this time?
It'll be 102
Since clinching the title, Pep Guardiola's side have been clapped out onto the pitch by Swansea, West Ham, Huddersfield and Brighton but Saints opted against it.
Former City boss Hughes spoke well of City after the game, calling them one of the best teams in Europe and talking up the winning mentality within the squad.
Asked why there was no guard of honour, he said: "I did ask about that if we were going to do that but they said they were going to have a line of flags, kits and guys from the academy so we thought that was more appropriate but it wasn't a sign of disrespect from ourselves - absolutely not."
I don't really understand the quote but it seems like they did ask about doing it but didn't for whatever reason. I happen to think we would if everyone else was doing it but then again I think the whole thing is bullshit and should be got rid of, it seems like Ferguson initially started it to motivate his own team rather than as anything to do with the team who are champions so I'm not sure why it's become what it is now.
While this game doesn't matter too much, it's superb to see them not win at home
What's this I see
For those thinking they will be rolled over by Chelsea...on the contrary, there will be blood to pay now, no way Klopp let's them whimper over the seasons last game's.
Chelsea have been in better form than Liverpool ever since the Watford game, so they can easily take points off them.
Liverpool are already playing youngsters and will do against Chelsea, the record really isn't that important to them.
They will have to beat Chelsea now if they want that record.
No. We can get it if we win our remaining three games but I don’t think we will.
Even this 1-1 will do.
They are a proud lot, they will turn up, I firmly believe that. Klopp will be whitening his teeth for that match!
No home record, no points record if Arse beat them, no CL, no cup. Basically, they’ve had a normal league-winning season. Ok, they’ve been imperious, but in 20 years, none of us will look back and marvel at this Pool team.
Besides, ‘one of the best in PL history’. None of their players bar TAA (over Brown) would even get into our 08’ team.

Might be controversial but i think an on form City, beats an on form Liverpool. I still reckon city are the best side in the prem overall when they are at it - and best squad by a distance.
In terms of the points record, they really wont be arsed if they dont get it, too much focus being put on that. Theyre champions, as if theyd give a shit haha

They are already on holiday. Even Fergie would struggle to keep them motivated, especially with everything else going on
Draw against Chelsea then pretty please.
Arsenal and Chelsea in their last three games. Can't see them beating the record.
don't worry about the scousers rolling over, the Blades will do them today
Burnley was so close to winning in Anfield when that late chance crashed off the crossbar. How poor was Alisson on that chance though?
I'm expecting Chelsea to beat Liverpool so hopefully Sheffield United can at least draw with them this evening.

Really dislike how many people are so focused on the results on Chelsea and Leicester. While it's always nice to see teams that you don't like or consider a rival to drop points and laugh a bit, United themselves can control every match that comes along and play for max points to see how high they get up the table. Just focus on United and watch how the other teams play and perform. Whatever happens between now and the end of the PL season will not make up for the fact that United were horrific and in relegation form many times in the first 3 months of the season and hovered in midtable. The only thing that was saving them and gave them a chance at this current position was the fact that teams outside of Liverpool and City were dropping a lot of points as well, which is why we've seen so many teams packed in together and not a lot of separation until the past few weeks or around matchweek 31. And the arrival of Bruno bringing a huge jolt throughout the club and lifting of quality and standards.
Another cup final for United on Monday night.

Phew - 2 long ball teams played for a draw. Seriously, teams still can't figure out how liverpool play ? VVD long ball to full backs(mostly Trent) and they cross to forwards.
You lock the full backs and they lose the creativity. Ourselves and Sheffield are the only 2 teams who actually figured this out and countered that ( we at home and Sheffield at Anfield).

Only Sheffield United, Burnley and Wolves have played more long balls
Teams like Arsenal and Chelsea are the exact teams they'd beat right now. Burnley defense was hard to break, unlike Chelsea leaky one.
Sheffield Utd lost 2-0 comfortably at Anfield. We got shown up more against Watford than we did at Old Trafford.
They won't want to lose their unbeaten home record. They're about a season and a bit away from breaking the record we set in the 00's and i think Mane is around 15 games behind the record for unbeaten consecutive games at a stadium for one player (currently Drogba at Stamford Bridge).
I was thinking "no way this can be true", but in fact, other than TAA, only Wijnaldum maybe could have a shout. That team was something.
Of course, as cliche as it is, this Liverpool iteration is far, far more than the sum of its parts.
Probably it was Sheffield away then. The Henderson mistake game .
I know you guys lost to Watford but point was more on how your FBs got locked or the teams coming up with a counter tactic.
Knew we draw that game the longer it was getting. Hopefully this pushes Klopp to find some creative spark in the market or somebody clinical enough to finishes off these chances. Getting sick of the selfishness competition with our front three worrying about personal records rather than just doing the simplest of things. Oh and scrap that fecking drinks break!
That record is quite astonishing which we set. Think its like every home game next season (20/21) and a further 9 or so in 21/22, to match it
A good player, but not infallible.
They last lost a home league game in April 2017 so i think they will match it in a year and a bit if they keep it up, around next Christmas if my maths hasn't failed me.
They ain't touching our all comps record though, no home defeat of any kind between February 2006 and October 2008.
Agree with the last part. None of these players had any pedigree before going to Liverpool. However, I don’t think Wijnaldum even has a prayer of getting into any combined 11. Fletcher, Carrick, Hargreaves, Park, Scholes and even late-30s repositioned Giggs were better than him. On that note, he’d be lucky to get into our 4th choice midfield, let alone first. Probably partner Anderson there.
Correct.
That their fullbacks have better delivery is not really debateable. But his point is a correct one that their system is built around them to a great extent as tends to happen when you're strong in a positions. Ours are better defensively btw which is something I don't think Livepools fullbacks can replicate.
Not that I'm disputing that our fullbacks can do more ,but against Villa Shaw should have had an assist. Not his problem that Fernandes missed. Wonderful move.
How are Chelsea 3rd they are horrible on paper. Just awful.
Chelsea beating Liverpool surely means Liverpool are on a steep decline, so hopefully it'll be easier for us to catch them.
