After leading the Premier League by eight points in the middle of February, Liverpool fans are utterly delicate and scared.

Youre not fooling anyone Dave, LFC. With our current first choice before four injured, we must travel to Anfield, which leaves us with an 8-point gap. So we have to get every remaining sport and for you to lose lots of points. You are by far your favorites, grant it over.
If you lose to City, Salah and/or VVD get injured/red carded and we win comfortably against West Ham then we can start having a debate but for now, come on. This email is undoubtedly intended to be used to get responsesah s***, but it actually worked
Rob A ( which defense is meant to stop that Madrid front three blimey ) AFC
Misery on the Mersey ]at the end of February, who had finished top of the new Champions League group format and advanced to the League Cup final.
But good Christ on the cross how miserable it must be to be a Liverpool fan. What the hell are they like when they aren’t in their sadness while they are winning?
To the followers crying for FSG out, if youd like a look at the supposed green grass, taking advice from a Chelsea lover, it aint f**king wonderful. Indeed, over the past few seasons, more cash could have been invested in the team, but it doesn’t seem like it has been rebuilt. Yes they need to purchase some great players in the summer, but sometimes they will? Swimming fans will probably find something else to complain about, even if that’s not all.

Fan meltdown
What is in the water in Liverpool? Given the state of our privatized water system,
is definitely precise individual crap.
You get my point though. Immediately, crazy uncertainty replaces the bravado. I visit some England website as well as here and its the same in those online places too.
Two draws later, and they immediately believe Arsenal has lost?
Guysassuming arsenal win their game in hand ( which so far this year they have fluffed it when given the chance to catch up and thats WITH saka ) they will still be 5 points behind.
Furthermore, for some reason, February is Liverpool’s nightmare quarter. Under every individual director for as long as Ive been a lover (91 in case youre wondering ) we have been inadequate in February, often stretching to move. A few headline contests have been thrown out in February, and some have even been eliminated. We chew in February.
Jrgen made it clear during our name victory that we would need a point increase in February/March because of how consistently bad our kind is.
We have a points cushion ( still ) and Feb is almost finished. Despite their strong games, Villa and resurrected Everton were playing their last derby at Goodison. A victory would be preferable, but two draws would not be.
Suck in your nerve and act like adults. With a 5-point benefit still in play, Liverpool can however win the title. I actually didnt consider fellow Liverpool fans were thus wonderfully delicate though I may say Ive just seen this attitude online the fans I know in actual life arent reacting that way.
Internet causes us to be crazy, as commenters repeatedly state in responses.

Gaps, cushions, and games in hand
Liverpool going from being 6 points ahead with a game in hand to 8 points ahead having played more games in 8 days seems to have confounded many people.
Why oh why arent we all jumping for joy at being 2 points closer to the subject? Is it Diogo Jotas ‘ ( sudden ) inability to finish or Darwin Nunez’s ( consistent )? Is it our evident unwillingness to hang onto a prospect? Is it perhaps the irrational worry that Man City will arrive on Sunday ? Certain, theres a bit of that going on. However, I’ll try to explain how my head rationalizes games in finger and gaps and why this past week has been a bad thing while trying to speak for all my fellow Reds and risking coming off as a borderline crazy.
Final Wednesday, England had a nine level seat at the top of the desk. What? Was I brazenly assuming Everton apart would be a walk in the Goodison Park? No. Nothing of the kind. Simply put, we would need to cut 9 items before Arsenal would have any mathematical chance of catching us, despite being just 6 points ahead.
Today, 8 days after, we have dropped 4 of those items, and have just a 5 point seat. Arsenal will be able to catch up with us if we add five more details. They may never. But they could.
9 point cushion to 5 point cushion = 1 bad week
So you may say were 8 points clear. You might want to mention that over the past week, our lead has increased by 33 %. Both of those items may be factually correct. However, I believe we lost almost third of our last-week dominance and now face City and Newcastle.
But yeah. I’m afraid.

MORE ON THIS LIVERPOOL MESS FROM F365[19659034[] Liverpool full scale disaster on cards as they fall full eight points ahead! Does Liverpool’s unavoidable failure to win the Premier League be a real bottle job or merely a collapse,
?
Wobble, slide or simply normal? You are 6 pts clear when the lunatics scream “it’s through,” you know that’s because of
. It isnt!
It was never, will never be finished, in December. Whether you are a stat person or an eye test person I think I am correct in saying no team ever has won the league by December.. Or January, Or even February
Its almost like once everyone had played everyone else at home and away and team have had half a season to adapt to the new techniques and people that some team have ( not that England had new players I guess ).. that it kind of settles down and being so far clear as to make the club irrelevant doesnt seem to be a factor. We watch every week because we don’t really believe the season is over, so
Yes, there have been some significant margins coming up until the end of the season.
We cant win, whats the point but you can win and thats the point
Certainly Liverpool are in a proper shitty run of games and have definitely lost that air of calm control that they seemed to have early on in the season and we seems to be in the middle of a wobble, a full on slip maybe?? Although teams and managers have seen us and now plan to get around us or frustrate us, it could be a normal response to a season that includes
Everton, Goodison, etc. dropping points. Probably. Wolves ( should have been 3pts, really, I guess )… Away to Villa ( only arse have won there? Is that correct because they are currently in the CL, so it is likely that something will happen.
Away to a very up an down City. Possibly anything. No score would really shock ( 10 nil would shock yes but you know what I mean ). Home to Newcastle, I’d like to think there might be 3 points, but they could also be dropped. Home to Soton. Really, there is no justification for not getting 3pts. Fighting for lives maybe but still
Cup Final Newcastle for good measure
Then another Merseyside derby and Fulham away. Pointless dropped points were everywhere.
But then are we assuming that Arsenal win all they remaining games? When a crazy person arrives at the mailbox and says,” we have given it to them,” 19459006? What? Your mother slammed you on the head, right?
Thi is going to close enough to keep everyone interested and the game 3 from the end between Arsenal and Liverpool at Anfield could be huuuuuuuuge or could be all over by then 1 way or another.. No one KNOWS.. and that is the only point and the joy of why we watch this madness year in and year out. There would be no point playing any of the games if we had known what would happen in advance.
Al LFC Loving the season so far, how could you not. This is what we dream of. What a wonderful game of football that was to watch, putting all the delicious title story aside. Villa seemed to realise that their makeshift defence was never going to keep Liverpool out and the only way to win was to outscore them. However, it was quite bold to attempt this by presenting Liverpool with myriad open goals while deflecting from their first goal. We all hearing Jason Bateman in Dodgeball now? Villa had the advantage of winning, but not necessarily the victory. Cash, Konsa, Torres, and Kamara all start for Villas first XI. Perhaps Onana is offered as a rotation option as well. They were all missing ( in part ) last night, along with Barkley. I’ll draw a rather fortuitous draw because that was close to Liverpool’s first XI. Once Villa get players back though, they have to push on. If they don’t, the season will be disappointing ( hi Remi Garde ), but it will feel like a missed opportunity to improve upon the previous season.
Again though, what a game. Please say more, please.

Sorry for taking the apocalypse mailbox chat from assorted LFC Timbuktu readers to heart, but is a draw at Villa Park really that bad? Bayern, Juve, City, etc. appeared to everyone else who has already come here already to cheer them on. Palace in the milk cup excepted and the Humility Monsters.
It’s obvious that the current media and algorithms don’t encourage measured, rounded views on anything. So the narrative is already on the slate that Liverpool should have scored 15 goals, their failure to do so was entirely in their own control, and therefore something is going wrong.
As an illustration, the F365 report on the game suggests that Watkins scored because Van Dijkdid not mark him. Slot seems to think our fans only come to the stadium when Liverpool are there, and we laid on a fireworks display for him especially.
Just a quick reminder: there was another team playing on the field, one that was actually the first to play English league football before Liverpool FC were even founded. Who scored twice themselves, without being presented with a goal or scoring via a deflection, missed a couple of very good chances, plus putting the ball in the net twice more after close offside calls.
This does not amount to anything that Konsa and Kamara were entitled to, which unsurprisingly has not reduced the backlash. But off the pitch, maybe Villa deserve a bit more respect than being treated as extras expected to just get out of the way in The Liverpool Story? Let me get this straight:
Neil Raines ( RIP Rick Buckler )
Gatekeepers
Because the mighty Liverpool were unable to get a win against plucky underdogs Villa away, they are now going to lose the title to Arsenal despite being 8 points clear having played a game more.
And Villa, a fearless underdog, defeated the indomitable Arsenal on their home turf last season, essentially giving them the lead in the league.
Soooooo are we saying that basically Villa are the sole team to determine who gets to win the league title or not???
To borrow from Harry Enfield:” Calm down, calm down.”
Jeff G, West Brom Villan , ( Seriously, give your heads a wobble! The vanity of transfer windows ( 19659071 )[IapologizeforthedelayinthisdiscussionbuttherehasbeenmuchdiscussionrecentlyabouthowandwhenManUmightreturntothepremiddle
The consensus seems to be that itll take upwards of three or four transfer windows. However, this is based on a false assumption, which is that football teams will improve neatly every six months. They dont. Teams can frequently grow dramatically and suddenly.
Take, for example, Nottm Forest this season or Villa since Emery took over. In the most memorable way, Leicester transformed from relegation-fodder to League champions in a single season. The catalyst for such sudden change is always a new manager and the effect is usually immediate.
In contrast, I can’t think of any teams that consistently and ploddingly improved year after year. Most just stay at the same level ( whether thats top four, top six, midtable or whatever ) doing slightly better one season, slightly worse the next.
Get rid of Amorim, Man U fans, and get rid of him. If he was your messiah, youd know it by now.

Too many muppets
Hi Ed,
I have to take a break from reading the mailbox again because there are just too many muppets. Will drop back in a few weeks when every team has managed to win every game they have played in the intervening period.
