We really sit back in the 2H..with the game considered won in the 1H.

Didn't expect that to happen tough, as extending the GD is so important come end of the season.

Nevertheless, it a great feeling to be the top of the table.

Hope Arse - Chel game ends in a draw and Manure later lose

That would be the greatest Xmas prezzie

Very disappointed with the second half performance.

It is clear Rodgers wanted to give Kelly a runout but with Mackay planning to apply pressure and attack with the introduction of Kim and Campbell, shaking up the defense is the last thing which needs to be done.

Liverpool should have kept a clean sheet even if the team failed to score more than 3 goals.

Anyone understood what Sterling said during the post-match interview? I only heard mumbling.

Maybe he was trying to say he needs to stop dribbling too much and pass the damn ball.

More like BR & the boys were giving Mackay the chance to exit Cardiff with some "face" ........ and at same time subtly let Vincent Tan aware the message the fans wants him to know.

Next round of matches on Boxing Day should be interesting as historical stats show that the team that is in number one position after Boxing Day results have gone on to win the title that same season on most occasions.

I hope to see Liverpool in the number one spot.

I had to praise BR for this tactics...rest the players because 1H tempo cannot be sustainable...we still to play matches on 26 Dec, 29 Dec and 2 Jan....if all games are won after 1H then I really dun mind this tactics...rest players when games are won...

we all know next 2 games crucial to our campaign...

so long we continue to win games and pick up points...we will never have to worry much about any opponents..

Liverpool emerging as dark horse in this year's race...

I've been reading a lot of Liverpool articles. Share 2 interesting points with you guys. A bit chim at first but once you understand, it makes sense.

Point 1: Bought Andy Carroll at $35M and sold him for $15M(+Loan fees from 1 season). Was it a disaster? Most people say we lost about $20M from the deal. Think about it. We sold Torres for $50M, then used $35M to buy Andy Carroll. We added $15M to our transfer budget. We sold Andy Carroll for $15M and bought Sturridge for $12M. We added $3M to our transfer budget too. Is Sturridge better than Torres? Definitely. In a way, our club has recovered from the mistake of buying Andy Carroll.

Point 2: Still thinking of assembling the squad to accumulate the most points in a season? The new idea is not to get the most points for the team but to be the team with the most points at the end of the season. Got slight difference. To get the most points for the team is to have a team that wins as many games as you can. Very 1 dimensional.

To be the team with the most points, you have to loan out good (not developing) players to other BPL teams. When Everton and Liverpool drew, Lulaku scored 2 goals. He took 2 points off Liverpool and that helps his parent club Chelsea. Whichever top 4 team Lulaku or Moses score against, it will help Chelsea be the club with the most points at the end of the season.

Are Chelsea's strikers Torres, Ba and Eto better than Lulaku? Definitely not. So there might be an underlying reason why rich clubs send good players out on loan. They can buy talent to win as many games as they can. They can also buy talent to take as many points off their competitors as they can. To do that, the players Chelsea loan out should be spread across different BPL clubs.

So if Everton face Man City and Liverpool face Arsenal on the same weekend and Moses and Lulaku scores to draw both games, what it means is that Everton, Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal only get 1 point that weekend. If Chelsea wins, then Moses and Lulaku would have helped Chelsea. Chim right but makes sense.

Not dark horse anymore...... the bookies' odds have changed and now Liverpool is among the favorites to win the BPL.

I knew that odds dropped but Liverpool was unexpected title contender...no pundits ever give us a chance beginning of the season...

the match against Man City...key player to watch out is Yaya Toure...hopefully Kolo Toure returns to mark him...if we can quiet him down then all Man City moves will break down...or he party too much during Xmas and too tired to play...

Is this why we loan out Oussama Assaidi?

francined69 · #**19575** 23-12-2013, 08:44 PM

Kolo Toure to mark Yaya Toure??? i don't see that happening, not when this is a critical match for Pool to win.

my choice is Sakho to take on Yaya.

good that Aguero and Zabaleta are both out of action.
