Liverpool FC

Wolves, Sheff Utd, Tot, Man Utd all ahead, if we are undefeated after those games, it's over.

They are winnable games but If you are undefeated or unchallenged by end of February, it could be over. Remember United were 12 points clear one Christmas and blew it

Liverpool 1 Wolves 0 but it sounded a fairly ugly match, in that Liverpool didn't play that well, perhaps they were tired but then Wolves beat Man City two days ago so they would also be tired. Anyway it is yet another win and people are saying it is OUR title, but mathematically it is possible that someone could get to us, however, I would say seeing the results with Leicester and Man City slipping up and with another game in hand on Thursday, Liverpool COULD have done it early-but we won't make that assumption yet, let us wait a few more games and then if we have an absolutely unassailable lead, then we can say it is OUR title.

VAR ruined the game again

Didn't play well but massive win and I don't really care, would be happy to win every match 1-0 from now until the end of the season.

Going back a few days Liverpool's performance against Leicester was sublime but in a different manner to how they usually are. Rather than the usual gun ho leave them gasping for air all out fast attack that we have become so used to from the team, the performance particularly in the 1st half was different. Not as eye catching but a sign of a great team. It was patient.

The great teams are patient teams because it takes a lot to achieve that. You have to retain possession, which means you need to be great passing the ball. You need to be diligent, to keep the shape, stay in position, nobody looking to break ranks and grab the limelight. Not easy to do when you have such talented players. They were like Guardiola's Barcelona at their peak, they controlled the game.

Absolutely phenomenal! Liverpool 2 v Sheffield Utd 0 another superb win and that title is within our grasp maybe well before May? Either way more records busted and created and the next game against the enemy Everton in the FA Cup-Ancelotti is doing well but hopefully we will get past them and onto the next round. It is a shame we have five players out injured but thankfully not the big three Mané, Salah and Firmino; add Origi to that mix and this new player we've got Minamino and Liverpool could be unstoppable but lets not get ahead of ourselves - take it ONE match at a time.

Unfortunately Keita now makes 6 injuries, he seems to get injured every time he starts to come in to a bit of form, reminds me of Sturridge, not a good comparison to have to make but seems fitting.

I think it will be all change for the FA cup game. It has to be surely. Give the main squad left standing the time off (9 days) for the Spurs game, they badly need the rest.

Line-up against Everton should be something like

Kelleher
Williams/Hoever, Phillips, van den Berg, Larouci/Hoever/Williams
Chirivella, Lallana, Jones
Elliott, Origi, Minamino

I agree the main squad does need some respite so that they are fully refreshed for the Spurs game and the form Spurs are in atm (and Mourinho claiming his defence is too short - has he really overlooked the fact that some of them are over 6ft tall?) three points are a possibility which in turn should push the pressure back onto Man City to come up with goods in their next game, Worryingly I would say that the injury list is now the main threat to any title success. Keeping that injury list down to a minimum is key.

Minamino helps ease the injury issues and Lovren and Matip could be back after the Spurs and United game so if they can just get through those 2 games unscathed with minimum 4 points I think they will have rode out the worst of it.

They then play Wolves, West Ham and Southampton before having 2 weeks off at the start of February, that should give them enough time to get the rest back from injury (Shaqiri, Ox and Fabinho). Still unknown how long Keita will be out for.
