We would be 4 behind with a defeat. What worries me is how easily we have surrended our goal difference. They are now one ahead. Let's hope 8 days off benefits us and we come out firing.

My mistake. Still, four points is not a good starting point going into the busy festive period. A defeat is only three points but the psychological damage it could do could be really bad. They would get confidence as well. Of course, this also works the other way; and the way Pellegrini sets his stall out, I expect us to go all out to try and win. Sometimes though, discretion is the better part of valour

I would happily take a point now. I'm just so unsure what city team will turn up. Will we be the team that turned up at the rags and were solid or the one that has rolled over at Spurs and Stoke?

If we lose I don't think 4 points is insurmountable but I recall our dreadful run after Xmas last year. Have we had our bad run already?

Wow, the ref just took a goal away from West Brom after awarding it.

I feel like that never happens.

I have a horrible feeling that whichever City side rocks up, the Arsenal one will have home advantage and the knowledge if they win they are ahead of us Boxing Day. We are more than capable of a result but not if we play like we have all too often lately

What was all that about? Sky making a big thing of it but the Beeb don't even mention it.

assistant ref gave offside and it was the correct decision.

That's fair enough then, the ref acually got a decision right.

Come on baggies. Hold out here.

What's that? The atmosphere at Anfield is quiet? Surely not your honour, we are always told they are the bestest, loudest, most passionate fans.

Fuck off dippers

Tough on West Brom. As for Newcastle they recorded back to back wins against Liverpool and Spurs. It proves this league is crazy.

That's a high standard for them nowadays so I can understand the enthusiasm.

They aren't lucky enough to win three on the spin, surely?

Fucking despise these bastards with every fibre of my being

What the hell was that shit at full time getting all the players to hold hands in front of the kop? I will give it to him, he is a fucking quick learner is Klopp.
