*cross post from the match thread for visibility*

We are playing (factually) one of the best teams in the country - the world in fact - and have won our last two matches. This does not make us anything other than massive underdogs.

I’ve gone for a 6-0 pasting in the prediction thread and won’t be devastated if I’m correct.

So many people here need a reality check about who we are, where we’ve come from and where we can hope to go.

Some of the entitlement on here has been absolutely sickening - and not just from the WUMs we all know about (Dwayne, Justice, kevtherev, et al) but from posters I like and normally respect.

So IF we get spanked - suck it up, get a f**king grip and remember we are playing away to a team unbeaten at home in 35 games who are going for the TITLE with a wage budget about TEN TIMES the size of ours.

Calm down dear. It's only a game.

Think of your blood pressure.

If that’s a rally the troops call why did you mention they were unbeaten in 35 at home.
I’m devastated now. I was hopeful

Absolutely no issues if we lose away at Liverpool but two things that would really irritate me:

1. We concede in the first 5 minutes - it’s happened way to often for it to be unlucky or a fluke

2. We concede and then concede another within 5 minutes - see above.

I am not entitled but I won't be dictated to by a stranger on a forum about what I can or cannot say. Suck it up.

Getting pasted by a world class teams and being played off the park is one thing. Getting pasted because we play badly and gift them goals is another. If it’s the former, then hatsoff and take a bow, if it’s the latter, I will be angry and disappointed.

I am a football fan and I appreciate superb football. If it happens against us then so be it.
I agree, Liverpool are world class and in superb form. But that doesn’t mean we need to capitulate before a ball has been kicked.

Go out there and believe we can get a result and stranger things have happened. We have a good history of late against Liverpool. Anything can happen

At the end of the day, it's just one game and three points regardless of the score/result...

I go into every game thinking they are going to lose, so anything is a bonus. However, at the same time, I also know that - on the day - every team could beat any other team in the PL. Whether today is one of those days? Let's wait and see.
