Well i thought we would draw vs Sunderland next week, however if fletcher is out it helps us our cause means we only have to mark one quality striker surely that cant be too hard for our defence lol.

 

QPR will now go on a great run after xmas, i feel only team really down is Reading, Arsenal will not lose there on monday and they wont buy loads in jan.

 

Us QPR Wigan Sunderland Villa are all fighting for safety and to be honest if its still true about ML family supporting us we should out of all of them have the money to buy the extra 2-3 players we need to push away from bottom 3 and get the extra 25 points needed to stay up by April.

I haven't done that at all, you have twisted my words completely ffs.

 

Hang on a minute. I made an observation about the difference between us and Villa, how our captiain admitted we got stage fright and you started going on about Villas performance at st Mary's. Why are you linking the two if that wasnt your intention?

Turkish is like a 15 year old arguing that because his team beat Man C, it makes them the best in England. Villa were poor at SMS, we were poor at Anfield. Norwich were great against Man Utd and beat them, does that make our point against them a great one, does if you follow Turkish's logic.

 

I'm surprised anyone with such a child like view of football posts on a grown up forum.

Turkish, are you a girl, or do you just act like a b i t c h?

 

I don't see what people problem is with my observation. A team below has just won comfortably on a ground where our captain admitted we were starstruck only 2 weeks ago. Bury your head in the sands if you like but this is worrying.

More bollo*cks as usual because someone dare to say anything isn't amazing connected with SFC.

 

It's not so much the performance, every team has an off day. It's the admission by our captain that we were overawed by the occasion.

So what if we were, a lot of teams do now and then (show too much respect). Hopefully we're learn from it and not show too much respect moving forward.

No it's not. This is either a wind up (boring) or a very simplified (idiotic) observation.

Idiotic?. How so? here are our captains comments if you missed them.

Despite being lucky enough to play at Anfield themselves, Villa, who were below us, managed to find it from somewhere to score 3 goals and not be so filled with wonder at the sight of The Kop they forgot they had a job to do.

 

Yes, an idiotic observation.:rolleyes:

You keep mentioning this, but he said no such thing in this interview...

So which interview are you talking about? Have you made it up or dreamt it perhaps?

Listening to Matty Holland and Crooks then Liverpool could and should have been at least 3 up inside 20 minutes, it was one-way traffic even after a the first two from Villa. These things happen....it's football.

Bingo.

 

It's 2 of the most tedious people on the internet having a pointless argument about something Turkish pretends not to understand. There is no need for other people to join in.

Agree with Turks on this one. Fine everyone has on and off days; but we went to Anfield with a defeatist mindset; Villa played without fear -that's as, if not more impressive than the result.

For all our good run, we haven't really shown we can go away from home and hold our own (QPR isnt proof of anything). Building on their good result in the cup, Villa are.

See my post above.

 

'the occasion got to us'

'we showed them too much respect'

' we didn't believe in our own ability as much as we should have'

 

Oh dear.

I get the point he was making.

 

Adkins has mentioned how special anfield is countless times, we had Rickie going on about how amaZing Liverpool are and how he went to watch them beat Cardiff...

 

We has Morgan telling us how he supported Liverpool as a kid

 

We played utterly terrible and of course, it was another game written off by those on here

 

We are going to have to pick up more points on the road. Going to anfield and showing zero fight was pretty poor

 

Then again, we are pretty poor

Did you see the game, you arse? Somtimes football is a very random game. Liverpool could have won it easily today, and we could have snatched a draw when we played them.

 

And now you've resorted to abuse. Oh dear. Sure sign youre losing the arguement.

Anf then our captain admitting after some of them were overawed.

 

Fine, we'll lose, we'll play badly. It happens. What isn't fine is being star struck playing away at a midtable side that were good once.

Seems you're basing that on the result not the performance, according to those that watched the game.

 

The fact they scored 3 makes their performance miles better than ours.

 

Even if they scored 1 would have been a massive improvement

 

We made the worst Liverpool team in a decades look like title contenders

 

Our margin for error in gaining points away is getting smaller and smaller

I watched some of it- villa defended deeply and got quite a few last ditch tackles in but they counter attacked with much more purpose and poise than we did. We looked clueless and overawed whenever we had the ball, notwithstanding a small improvement in the second half.

Hmmm, not too sure, depends on January IMO and if they reinforce.

 

If they get a result at Newcastle next week which isn't beyond the realms of possibility given their form, it brings them right back Inn touching distance and drags Newcastle right into it.

Really? Of the four fixtures that ****flaps has been in charge of from memory they haven't played any of the top teams.

 

Yep.

As have said

Our away form is a complete joke

We are above the bottom 3 on goal difference despite have an amazing run of home fixtures... But of a let down really.

 

The keeper situation with gaZza has cost us massively

So did Norwich. They are currently 7th.

 

You can't make comparisons like this. Different teams perform differently on different days. If you replayed all our matches, putting out exactly the same teams in the same formation, do you think all the results would be the same? We would probably beat Wigan at home 3-0, draw at QPR and get spanked 4-0 at Man City. That's just the random nature of football, you can't compare one result from one team in one fixture. It's a meaningless statistic, like rolling a dice once, rolling a 4 and concluding that if you roll a dice you will get a 4.

Did you miss post #75 Turkish? Or convenient to overlook it?

 

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realise I had to reply to your every post. Especially when I've already responded in other posts.

 

'the occasion got to us'

 

That on its own is compelling evidence is it not?
