A fantastic win and a horrible hurdle navigated, particularly having to play last after wins for both City and Chelsea.

Anyone who thinks refs are derailing Liverpool's title bid needs their head examined. Yes we've had decisions go against us in big matches this season but jesus we've had some highly dubious calls go our way too. Swings and roundabouts.....we will win or lose it on merit, simple as that.

First things first - I'm not going to have a row with a fellow kopite at this time of delirious happiness.

... however, I'm not constructing some weird conspiracy theory - I'm just highlighting that allowing that goal could have knocked the stuffing out of the team. It was remarkably odd - linesman sees incident, referee clearly doesn't, ref confers with linesman where presumably linesman highlights the clear foul - ref ignores this and awards the goal. West Ham scorer walks back to the halfway line sheepishly pulling his tongue out.

I am a fantastically biased Liverpool fan, but I do think I have some capacity for rationale thought.
I'm struggling to think of these highly dubious calls that have gone our way that you refer to - I'm genuinely curious as to what they are?
Sterling pen at Stoke? We scored 5 goals there - but granted that was crucial period of the game and it was soft - but you could see why the referee (Anthony Taylor!) gave it - as he huffed and puffed his 16stone frame about 50 yards behind our sprinting winger.
Sturridge pen at OT, with Vidic off? An dive, but he had a clear pen not given 5 minutes later and I'm not sure it had any effect on a game where utd were well beaten.
Flanagan yesterday? At the time I thought it wasn't a pen - classic case of a weak incompetent ref knowing he'd dropped a bollock over their goal and wanting to level up, but having seen it again I think it was a penalty. I work in Manchester and the 2 utd fans in the office said the same.
I can't think of others?

On the other side you have Howard Webb twice looking directly at Suarez being taken out in the box (Arsenal, Chelsea) from 10 yards and not giving it. The one at Chelsea would have been a last minute spot kick to draw 2-2. Chelsea would now be a footnote in the title race.
And then that one yesterday, when the whole ground knew Carroll had committed a foul - they were even showing it on the big telly in the ground!
I'm not suggesting that this is some devious plan - just that both Webb and Taylor (and Mason and Friend, most of them actually), are completely incompetent.

James T · Post by **James T** » Tue Apr 08, 2014 2:33 pm

I'd say a win for City would almost put Liverpool out of the race, but not quite. My liverpool fan colleague tends to agree, although still stranger things have happened in the final weeks.

A draw is a good result for city particularly cause we managed to get a couple of extra goals this weekend. A Liverpool win would keep it very exciting, as they still have to play Chelsea also and city have to go to Everton. The exciting option isn't the one I can cope with on this occasion.

I'd be ok with a draw, but we really need to go and get a win in this. Every time we've had a really great opportunity this season we have just fallen short,particularly at arsenal after taking the lead and dominating the opening.

This is another of those games where I really would like to see an exciting match with both teams loosing 3-0. Sadly, this can't happen so I'll settle for a draw. I'm already dreading the Everton-City game if an Everton win would give Liverpool the title. Hopefully, it will all be done and dusted before that game....

No, just a bloke wearing a suit. The other bloke was not 'an opposing fan'. He was just fucking around (perhaps drunk) and should have not done that. I didn't think it was funny.

Equating this to Brian Stowe is a reach. He was beat up because he was a Giants fan at Dodger Stadium. Not condoning anything. This guy is an "unofficial" Cubs mascot and is a notorious asshole around Wrigley Field. He doesn't get paid to do this and because he is sort of anonymous he thinks he can get away with being a jerk. A few punches were thrown. it is funny to me.

Norwich in huge trouble now. Maybe Fulham can survive afterall? Sunderland are pretty much gone now, although the 2 games in hand gives them a little hope.

Kompany left training injured today, hope he can make tomorrows game... I don't have a good feeling about that game, but I know even if we do lose we can still get the title if we win the remaining games. It would be extremely difficult for liverpool to beat both city and chelsea, Even Norwich away could be hard now after todays result, they are in dire need of a result and sometimes these are the games where it happens.

That said, I shouldn't be so negative before a ball is kicked. Liverpool have been the top side in England since new year, we just have to try and break that. We have a great side, it can be done.

Top class showing from the City fans during the minute of silence. Sadly, I understand that there was chanting before the Everton-Sunderland game during the memorial. Sometimes it is hard to understand the depths of the idiocy displayed on the terraces.

Liverpool are really given City the treatment though.....

ha liverpool have blown up

city have been superb the last 10mins tho, finally found some energy started pressing liverpool winning the ball back & passing quickly. liverpool look on the ropes..

James T · Post by **James T** » Sun Apr 13, 2014 3:34 pm

Kompany had a shocker, to blame for 2 if not all of their goals. A real shame for him. Bad ref is all I will say.

Fair play to Liverpool though, outstanding for 30 minutes and then did well to get the third when city on top. Great game for the neutral.

jack white · Post by **jack white** » Sun Apr 13, 2014 3:36 pm

p jelly of liverpool fans atm... an absolutely amazing time for them. & the team is a credit to the manager. brilliant stuff all round.
city have a lot of questions to be answered. a few old problems raised their head again when it mattered most.. they should be doing more with what they have whereas liverpool are overachieving - to a degree.

brilliant game. few decisions clattenburg didn't give (either way) but overall fair result & a really exciting game.

Liverpool were the better side for 35 minutes, city were well well on top for lost of the game after that. Missed an amazing chance to go 3 up.

Eh? Not at all.
Liverpool are clearly in the drivers seat. Chelsea have more control over their fate than City. One(or both) of them will drop points when Chelsea play at Anfield. But City are no longer in control of anything.

James T · Post by **James T** » Sun Apr 13, 2014 4:37 pm

If Liverpool finish the season having won their last 14 games, no one can say they don't deserve it. That said, mourinho doesn't lose many of these kinda of games, so if city win their remaining games they will win the title. Do I think city will do that? Probably not. If Chelsea won today (looking good with an extra man right now), I think they are in a great position to win it.

sunray · Post by **sunray** » Sun Apr 13, 2014 4:39 pm

Bloody hell!!! Five more points and we've guaranteed fourth spot.

I really don't know how much more of this my heart can take. Was listening on the radio (as I have for all the league games this season, don't want to jinx them now by actually watching it live on telly! ) so can't comment on any dodgy decisions that occurred, will wait to watch MOTD2 tonight. At half time I predicted it to finish 2-2 and I certainly didn't see Liverpool winning it when City managed to pull it back, but somehow...somehow...

This is going all the way. Nurse...prepare my medicine...

James T · Post by **James T** » Sun Apr 13, 2014 4:46 pm

Awful decisions aside, we missed 2 incredible chances, had one cleared off the line, a great save from mignolet too. We can't really blame the ref for not winning as you need to take chances as well a getting decisions in any game like that. Kompany made a shocking error for the 3rd goal, but you can not take away from that finish from coutinho!

That Henderson tackle was a shocker.

jack white · Post by **jack white** » Sun Apr 13, 2014 4:53 pm

it was ^ but it was made out of desperation rather than malice in fairness to him. henderson really isn't that type of player.

the game really had everything once he got sent off.
(he was caught in two minds when he got possession he didn't know whether to control it or pass & in the end did neither & lost the ball - but the fault was initially the heavy touch by moses who miscontrolled. if he had held onto the ball like a sensible person henderson wouldn't have been in that position).
before that tho there were so many instances where the game was decided on a matter of inches - living up to the old adage that johnny giles is so fond of. david silva's missed by inches, kompany's miskick.. & they were properly punished in the end, the way it should be. a draw would've been a disservice to the league & campaign it's been.

i LOVED skrtel's handball. there's cheating, which is always funny, & then there's cheating in vital moments which is on a whole other level of funny. he knew what he was doing & got away with it.

jack white · Post by **jack white** » Sun Apr 13, 2014 5:28 pm

Nah I wouldn't I'd have laughed & defended him - like I did when he got sent off vs Barca. He'd have been doing what a crafty centre back should do - like what he did when he cleaned out Messi..

I said @ the start he was an accident waiting to happen & he proved to be so, but kompany was culpable for a lot of what went wrong for him in the 2nd half of this season,

He's good on the ball tho Demichelis. He maybe was a deep lying midfielder at a time. Better distribution than either Garcia or Fernandinho today. Good w/both feet.

KingHarry · Post by **KingHarry** » Sun Apr 13, 2014 7:34 pm

I felt at half-time that I'd feel a lot more comfortable if we'd gone in 3-up. It felt as though we perhaps could have as we were fantastic again, and I expected a bit of an onslaught after the break.

To be honest, the win felt like a bonus because we were completely punched out in the 2nd half and on the ropes. Tremendous finish from Coutinho - although I couldn't see the goal coming.

The level of expectation, the tension, and the build-up made it feel like an old-school Wembley trip. It will sound like romantic tripe to fans of other clubs - but Anfield is a special place for games like this, and the feel good factor is immense. I was hugging people with deep deep feeling, like a wide-eyed kid - people I've sat alongside for YEARS and only ever really exchanged fleeting conversation with. I can't get enough of it at the moment - although having said all that, it is horrifically fucking painful also, I feel the stress is causing lasting damage to vital organs.

Feel sorry for Henderson - not sure it was necessary to send him off. I've not seen it since, but looked like a knackered player with a heavy touch and a wild attempt to regain possession. We will miss him for the next couple (?) of games. Pleasing that Luis managed to stay on the pitch, seemed like a coil spring throughout. Special praise to Sterling and Flanagan. 12-mths ago no Liverpool fan would have imagined either to be playing such a role, or even still at the club - both now completely immense.

James T:

I'm looking at the rest of the fixtures for the season and looking at it, the Everton (away) match looks the toughest down the stretch out of them all, but any given day one can be beaten by a lesser opponent :

Sunderland (Etihad)
West Brom (Etihad)
Crystal Palace (away)
Everton (away)
Aston Villa (Etihad)
W.Ham (Etihad)

Let's say City win all of their remaining matches and so do Chelsea and Liverpool, except their upcoming match Chelsea vs. Liverpool. One of those clubs will drop pts.
Who do we need to lose, Chelsea or Liverpool to win in the end ???

I've broken down the standings : Games Played Goal Difference Points

Liverpool 34 51 77
Chelsea 34 42 75
City 32 54 70

Chelsea (2) vs. City (1) Oct.27,2013
LFC (1) vs. City (2) Dec.26,2013
Chelsea (1) vs. City (0) Feb.3,2014
LFC (3) vs. City (2) April 13,2014

Are we looking at points, as well as goal difference here ?

* I spaced them out, but the figures merged i.e. - 34 51 77 ( games played, goal difference, points)

James T · Post by **James T** » Mon Apr 14, 2014 9:25 am

If city win all their remaining games we would just need Liverpool to drop points in one game, which looks likely against Chelsea for me . I don't think city will win all their games though, and I think Liverpool could drop points in even their next 3, all tough games and it's been a hell of a run for them that has to end sooner or later. I have a feeling Chelsea will win it.

James T · Post by **James T** » Wed Apr 16, 2014 9:55 pm

i don't actually believe that. i just think clattenburg bottled it a bit last week & mike dean had an amazing, horrendous game this evening. guy should be taken off the referee's list.

i actually thought liverpool were facing a potential banana skin in their game vs palace (were it not for rodgers, pulis would be manager of the season), but this chelsea/sunderland result has given them breathing space - IF suarez does to norwich what he usually does to them tomorrow..

It's absolutely not. It seems strange that every time one of the others drops points it doesn't seem to make much difference to how many wins we need. Would have made it more straight forward if City hadn't equalised late on in the week - 3 wins would have been enough then. City could drop points, but could also win the last 5 games. In terms of 'blowing it', LFC could win 13 of their last 14 fixtures and still not be champions.

It has been a weird season and today was mad, but let's face it, it is most likely that Liverpool are going to rip Norwich a new on tomorrow. Suarez almost always gets a hat trick against Norwich who look doomed.

On the other hand, Sunderland cheered me right up. I get a childishly large degree of satisfaction when a manager flounces out in a huff at the end of a defeat.

It was most likely that city would with sunderland though also, our home form (in the league at least) is near perfect. Norwich, having seen Sunderland grab a win and also after seeing fulham lose, will have that bit of motivation from this weekends games which could carry them through. Norwich got a point against city at home, and they could do the same with Liverpool. They can get a bit of a gap with 1 win.
