Liverpools rivals win: "it is a must win game! We need to keep up"

Liverpools rivals lose/ draw: "it is a must win game! We need to take advantage"

Just for clarity, does this mean some people won't be happy until we win 38 games a season?

If it takes to win the title Yes, I would want my team to try winning every single game regardless of what ever is revolving around the Sun.

When have we ever not gone out to win every game? don't confuse intent to win with execution of performance

I am not saying that we shouldn't target to win and even believe we can win every game.

What u am saying is that in reality, no team has ever won every game in a Premier League season. Not even the invincibles of Arsenal were immune to dropping points. So I don't get all this all or nothing drama every weekend about how it is "critical to win".

The next game should always be the most important, but that doesn't mean we should cry and whine over a draw or defeat. They can and will happen multiple times over a season. People on here just set up the dominoes every weekend so they can knock them down in a tantrum if we drop points, or even win unconvincingly!

It is just a pet hate of mine when people are so dramatic and act as though we are out of the title race if we lose tomorrow!

MK, you have described the some of LFC fan base perfectly. The reaction after every result, even a win, is appalling at times as if we are the only ones who draw or lose games and the other teams never do.

We go out to win every game under Klopp, period. If not, how is Klopp the best manager vs the top 6 since he arrived? How is LFC top 3 in games won away from home since he arrived? Most goals scored in the PL since he arrived? Cos to him, it doesn`t matter where the game is taking place, he goes for the win and we should be elated to have a man with such a mentality and belief in himself and his players.

But you wouldn`t know it with the nonsense you read on here after a negative result. As for tmrw even if we draw, lose or win, NOTHING will be decided in the PL till May but you will still see this forum awash with doom-mongering posts.

No, but we shouldn't be throwing points away vs Sunderland through stuid penalties nor, throwing away games like the one vs Bournemouth. I get and appreciate you can't win every game, but you shouldn't just hand points out on a plate to teams which is what has happened at times and the reason we were found wanting in 13/ 14,throwing points away vs Villa, WBA, Hull in games that lookedlike we didn't even want to be there. Fergies teams even when losing battled till the final minute, I still think at times we lack that hunger.

This is not saying any one is out the title race. But no team has ever won the title having lost more than 6 matches. You need 80 points minimum to win the league. so you can only really afford to drop 34 points at best, every time you drop 2/ 3 points, is a movement closer to that total. It's something that certainly should just be brushed aside as insignificant especially from winning positions and when the team has looked poor.

Hamilton

If you are not disappointed after a loss then you are going through the wrong hole my friend. If you are not happy with some of the posts skip it and move on yet reply each and every post. It's the diversities in opinions that keeps this page refreshing.

Absolutely right Adam. As Harry said (Zed agrees with Harry, shock! ) everyone hurts after a loss, but we have to put things into perspective, if only for blood pressure reasons, lol!

Top4 is an absolute minimum, but I always want to win the league and will always think we can do it at the start of every season!
