What's the fuss about? two draws and the world's fell in?

Prior to a bumper December, we were playing like this and getting results. We're 3 points up on 'the machine'that's broken down three times recently. I'd of snapped your hands off if you would have given me this at the beginning of the season.

I'm kind of glad Origi didn't score at the end as two horrendous assistant referee mistakes would have been a little far fetched. One I can live with!

Have faith.

It’s not simply two draws though is it.

There was the defeat to Wolves in the cup.

There was the defeat to Man City in the league.

There was the lacklustre win against Palace that we were fortunate to get away with.

Then we have two draws that a team allegedly competing for a title should reasonably win, but we struggle to get a draw.

There are clear problems here, we lack the quality and depth of City and are being found out. It’s City’s to lose at this point. I can see us scrapping to get a draw against Bournemouth and I can’t see City dropping points.

the fuss is about that the performances by now should have improved especially as we have less games and some really good players have kind of dropped off the pace and it is a cause of concern for some fans like me. We are kind of stuck in 2nd gear this season and fans desperate for the title want to win every game and you cannot blame them for winning against Leicester at home and west ham away. The problem is we are one loss away from once again chasing for the title when we could have been a healthy 7-8 points clear. Things only get tougher from here. I am not sure why it is that difficult to understand.
one can expect a drop in such a big season, but our timing couldn't had been worse. We just have a little breathing space now and cannot afford any more slips and with first team defenders and midfielder injured and battling fitness it is a huge ask. so yes fans are concerned however yes that should not result in abuse.

Yes you could have been a healthy 7-8 points clear, but let's not forget Man C have lost to Newcastle, Leicester and Palace games you would think they would have won, so maybe if you look at that way you may have been 1 point behind Man C.

Unfortunately we haven’t got the bottle. We have nobody to step up to the plate like Augero did. If we don’t win it this year it will be a long time before we do as the pressure and nervousness from the fans will see to that.

We lost this title against Manchester City. I would rather have lost having a go at them rather than the way we did, playing for a draw. We had the chance to go 10 points clear, then it was 7, then 5 and now it’s 3.

The only chance we have is if City crack under the weight of chasing 4 trophies. With the squad they have that’s a long shot. The last two games we would have won like we have done most of the season but, now that the defence has started to implode as well, we can’t even do that.

Frankly, one of your lines in particularly is a perspective from many fans that has me perplexed - "Then we have two draws that a team allegedly competing for a title should reasonably win, but we struggle to get a draw"

yet City, who are defending champs and obvious title challengers this year have lost more than us. so are they allegedly competing for a title?

I wonder if some fans need to take a breath, recognize we're not going to win every game and just get ready for the next challenge including giving the lads all our support. The standard seems to be perfection, but I just feel like we need to see it for what it is. We are punching above our weight, and doing a fine job of it. the lads need all our support to help get them over the line.

Akrubbish, weren’t you saying earlier now is the time to slag the players off? No you’re saying we should not be abusing them?

Personally I agree with the 2nd part. Just get behind the team.

Spot on OP and Faithworks. To the rest I ask you this. Where do you get this self entitled attitude that gives you this audacity to think that LFC has the right to win the PL without the other teams trying to stop us from doing so? I mean, where have these people been for the last 29 years when we haven't won the league? Under a rock? Please, keep your your righteous indignations and self-entitled attitude to yourselves cos this is real football with real stuff involved.

We are trying to do something that NOBODY thinks we can do. Defy all odds to win the PL this season. You think that is easy? You think City will just lay low and let us win? Clearly, some of you lack the fight and stomach for a battle vs the odds that are against us hence, you whine and bleat on and on when things don't go your way. Good thing Klopp and the boys are not a weak mentally as some of us are cos if they were, we would NOT be 3 points ahead of City in spite of all our issues right now.

We are having a blip (how dare we have one? ) and it is having a mental effect on the players and the staff. That much is clear BUT to come out with stuff like "We should not have let Clyne go" (What does that even mean? ), "We lack bottle" (And City who have lost more games than us and are behind us do? ), Oh and the best, "We lost the title against City" (a complete non argument wreaking of cowardice), just shows how mentally weak some of us are and how much people want to be right and wallow in self pity so they can beable to handle disappointment better. PATHETIC!

Frankly are you seriously having a go at the players for losing away at city, beating Palace by only one goal (disgraceful) and then drawing against Leicester (who beat City and Chelsea recently) and West Ham (who beat Utd and Chelsea at home) .
Yet I bet you’re lauding City who have lost to Chelsea, Palace, Leicester and Newcastle this season.
Get a grip mate what you’re saying makes no sense.

I think comparing us to city is ridiculous. The same city side won the league last season at a canter and broke the record for points, they can lose 4 games, 3 to weak oppositions and they’re still 3 points behind us, I mean isn’t that an even more worrying proposition. They’re a tried and tested team for the title and we are not. So comparing us to them it’s void, and based on performances, that is being proven. I think after the United match, all will become clear, but I imagine the tone will be the same from some fans. The ‘enjoy the ride’ and ‘who would have thought we would be here at the start of the season’ comments will start flooding in.

So many victim artists, get a grip lads we've dropped some points, bournemouth won't have enough at anfield then bayern won't fancy it much either they've been poor this year, then go to old trafford with some confidence, if not we pick ourselves up and go again its football, a lot of quality competition in this league nobody has the devine right to 3 points every game but we've done better than anyone else so far, supporters or stroppy brats?

It’s the manner which we have been playing, we have been poor for the last 6 games or so and there is no sign that it’s going to pick up any time soon just when City hit top form. The wins against Brighton and Palace were lucky, the draws and defeats underline where we are at.

Frankly, I can tell that you are scared and that is fine. The prob you and many others are having is that you are allowing your fears to get the best of you. That is not wise. There was NO luck involved in beating CP and BHA. Vs BHA, they had NO shots on target and we got the win off a well deserved penalty after Salah manufactured a moment of magic. Vs CP, we overcame a lot of adversity like injuries and a red card to go 4 2 up, eventually winning the game 4-3. That is NOT luck. That is have the cojones to go on till the very end come hell or high water. That is bravery and choosing not to let fear get the best of you. Fear is a choice, my friend. If you have nothing to fear BUT fear itself then you can withstand whatever is coming at you. Support the team cos they need you now mlre than ever. Cheers, mate!

The funny thing is after we beat Brighton 1-0 the headlines were praising the result as that of title winners. Away from home, grind it out kind of victory. and then of course when we drop points it becomes 'these are the games title winners find ways to win.

Another one - when city were rolling it was 'cant see where they'll drop points all season, then boom they lose. Same for us. See the pattern!? Its a long season with lots of twists. Yes are in a rut, but it doesn't mean life is over just means the lads need a bit of encouragement to get out of it.

Draws and defeats underline waffle waffle what? Where is the plural on defeat coming from we've lost one game? We're all desperate to win the league but this sulking is petulant, to better this city team we need our lads to perform like winners, something a lot of our fans don't have in them obviously.
