re: Liverpool FC 2013/2014 - Season Long Thread

This weekend's results couldn't have gone much better for us. Tottenham, Man City, and Arsenal all lose. Chelsea drew.

We've had some great luck this season with favorable results when we need them. We didn't need them this week and still got them. Here's to hoping it continues.

Okay I think we are in a strong position and as long as we continue to keep winning against the sides out side of the top 6-8 we should continue to be there as well.

Yet in saying this I was listening to the football show on Siriusxm awhile ago and a guy was talking about a top six matrix and how if you win that you win the league.

Okay so here would be the teams in said matrix:

Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham

If you want to expand to top eight add Everton & Southampton.

So out of that matrix there are a total of 30 available points(42 for expanded). If a club takes 20 points from this group they are almost guaranteed to win the league.

So let's look at where we stand right now.
--------------------------------------------------
Arsenal - (0/6) 1P
Chelsea - (0/6) 0P
Man U - (3/6) 1P
Man City - (0/6) 0P
Tottenham - (0/6) 0P

TOTAL = (3/30)
IN GAMES PLAYED (3/6)
--------------------------------------------------
Everton - (0/6) 0P
Southampton - (0/6) 1P

TOTAL = (3/42)
IN GAMES PLAYED (3/9)
--------------------------------------------------
So after looking at we have picked up 3 of a possible 9 and we haven't played many of the teams from the top, which is a good and bad thing. Good because there are a lot of potential match up to take points away from them and bad because they could exploit us and show that we are good enough to beat the lesser teams but not good enough to beat the big boys yet.

If we continue our form with those clubs outside the top 6-8 and take 1/2 to 2/3 of the points from the clubs listed above we will finish in the top 4 if not better.

And for that I am excited ... YNWA boys

I have it broken down into the teams that truly matter (3/6) and the current top eight (3/9).

As you said the saints will probably drop, yet I do think they can be a top 8 team this year and especially with their strong start only time will tell though.

But from the teams that do matter I will say to have (3/6) and three more games to play with everyone returning to health is encouraging ... let's just hope the results are there to justify my optimism.

EDIT: Oops it has its own thread. Whatevs, I'll leave it in here too for those of you that don't bother checking the rest of the board.

I want him back now. I'm sick of our shite midfield.

well he's been playing more on the wing, so that's kind of what I'd expect once he comes back, but don't get me wrong, I think he'll be fun to watch with the rest of our attack especially if we can hang on to Suarez

I downloaded it. Not a bad watch for Liverpool fans. More of a children's story than anything.

Isn't your dad a 'Merica touting, commie hating, soccer troll? If so that's pretty awesome.

Congrats, that's great.

My dad will always be a soccer hating 'Murican. My wife gave me a Pool jersey for Christmas a couple years ago, and I swear I could see what he was thinking when I opened it. No doubt, he wanted to call me a f*g.

Always sad to see a youth player get cut loose, but he was never going to make the first team... To be honest, I'm not sure he is even Championship level....

It's a shame cause he started out with a lot of promise in the u18s, but then stalled out...
