egg Posted 20 September, 2013 Share Posted 20 September, 2013 We need to start scoring some goals, so no but would be happy with a score draw. So would a 4-3 defeat be better than 0-0? Personally I'd take a 0-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_saint Posted 20 September, 2013 Share Posted 20 September, 2013 Me (though I'd prefer 0-0 to losing, naturally) My reasoning is if we cant win against bus-parkers at home, and cant win against teams that come at us and play, the question arises where our wins are going to come from.. Also, Suarez and Coutinho are missing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Suarez and Coutinho are missing I see where you're coming from, but would argue this doesn't really apply to top of the table away from home. For me, this reasoning applies to playin those 'bus Parkersburg' away (e.g Norwich) and the teams that play (e.g Liverpool) at st Mary's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berkshiresaint Posted 20 September, 2013 Share Posted 20 September, 2013 I really must learn to read my posts before sending. I still can't see where I wrote that I wanted us to lose. surely a score draw means we don't lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgie Posted 20 September, 2013 Share Posted 20 September, 2013 If its going to be a draw I would prefer some goals and a score draw, although obviously a point away to Liverpool would be very good. I actually think we will play well and win. Some will then start talking of Europe again, only to come crashing back down to earth next week when we don't beat Palace.

alpine_saint Posted 20 September, 2013 Share Posted 20 September, 2013 FFS people, we are going to win! Why don't you believe this? I think there is a chance too. I have a feeling Ramirez, despite my ambivalence about him, will play from the start and do well. I have a feeling Osvaldo is due an arsehole-ripping of someone Lawro has predicted a comfortable Liverpool win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericofarabia Posted 20 September, 2013 Share Posted 20 September, 2013 If we had to draw I'd prefer a 2-2, with us scoring 1st and last so that we could have 2 mental celebrations in the stands!! Even better, would be that warm little feeling that I have of us sneaking a win, as The Once Again Mighty Liverpool fall for the Top of The League Hype and come out flat against us both on and off the pitch expecting to walk all over us.

Saint_Tony Posted 20 September, 2013 Share Posted 20 September, 2013 No, unacceptable if we fail to score again, even if it is against Liverpool. Got a feeling we can nick a win. I assume we will be playing in black tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 20 September, 2013 Share Posted 20 September, 2013 (edited) I would take 0-0 as a terrible result. Any result with a '0' in the away column will be unacceptable. We need to start taking the chances we create, Liverpool will be attacking us at home and will leave gaps as a result. A score draw, acceptable. A win.... well, naturally. A goalless draw will however just further highlight the issues we are currently having in front of goal and show we have not made progress in solving them.

Barry Sanchez Posted 20 September, 2013 Share Posted 20 September, 2013 I would grab a 0-0 now, they are a better side than us, have been playing better than us have been scoring goals and are top of the League. We cant score and have failed to open up any side home or away from open play or even get behind the back line. Lets keep this level headed at least please.

lnb203 Posted 20 September, 2013 Share Posted 20 September, 2013 0-0 away at Liverpool is a great result. Madness to suggest otherwise. I'd prefer it to a 2-2 (although not in entertainment terms, obviously), as I'm more happy with our new found defensive solidity than I am concerned about lack of goals from open play. We have created enough chances, hit the post enough times, denied by enough good saves to suggest we will start putting a few away soon enough. Perhaps not scoring bucketloads, but you don't need to score bucketloads if you keep a clean sheet most games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 20 September, 2013 Share Posted 20 September, 2013 Yeah, I'd be outraged if we got a 0-0 at Anfield. Against the team currently top of the league. Where United lost a few weeks ago. Would be an awful result FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 20 September, 2013 Share Posted 20 September, 2013 I would take a point at Liverpool, but only if we got all 3 against Palace. So you'd have to offer me two results rather than just the one. A point would be a good result at Anfield, but as has been put already, we have a chance to win this, but all the players, especially the strikers, need to click.

We have the most delusional fans in the Country right now I think, we honestly think we are a team to be reckoned with, what the **** we have done to give ourselves this title is beyond me but hey ho, two late goals wiht one from a penalty and a header from a free kick from a centre back does not inspire.

adrian lord Posted 20 September, 2013 Share Posted 20 September, 2013 The premier league has had a low key start this season all-round, no team yet fully up to speed and a strange paucity of goals. 0-0 would be a fine result based on our form lately. Got a feeling the Arse will be a real force again this year. Saints could be a surprise package but it ain't happening at the moment in attack.

verlaine1979 Posted 20 September, 2013 Share Posted 20 September, 2013 Considering there's been very little entertainment on offer in the first four games, a 0-0 doesn't sound particularly enjoyable. However, as a good away point it's probably not to be sniffed at. Without the drama of either trying to get promoted or avoid relegation, I find myself far more impatient when the games are of mediocre quality as they have been recently. Is this what mid-table comfort is like? If you could temporarily suspend the partisan emotion of the average Everton or Fulham fan mid-game, would most up and go home at half time out of boredom?

orchardsaint Posted 20 September, 2013 Share Posted 20 September, 2013 the thread is who wouldn't be happy with 0-0? surely everyone? the only reason there is any debate is because most on here seem to think it inevitable we go to anfield and lose. there are other possibilities, e.g. we win. if, after 70 minutes into the game and we have been battered all ends sideways from the first minute, and it is still 0-0, then yes, i would be happy to come back with a 0-0. we haven't kicked off yet. we could go there and totally dominate them, as a few posters on the lfc web page seem to be worried about, and then everyone wolud be annoyed to 'only' get a 0-0. football isn't played on paper you know. have faith.
