It was Sakho's poor pass that made Stevie slip.

It was Stevie's poor touch which made him panic, which made him slip.

watch Stevies pass again, its a heel pass, increasing the chance of a return pass, if Stevie had played the pass in front of Sacko, he might have made a couple of yards, then made a long pass across to the right wing area, so for me, its the first pass.

You don't lose the title over 90 minutes 😠

Can't blame stevie for us not getting the title. We had the most potent attack in the league, without question the best player in the league and probably for that season alone the two best strikers in the league. can't ask for more.

Also love stevie but if under pressure route 1 tactics is to boot then ball to row z. Personally think our biggest problem in the BPL era is having players who want to win at all cost. Ugly or pretty nothing matters more than the result. So if under pressure should have just booted the ball otherwise is a lapse in concentration.

I blame mignolet. He let negredo soft shop go through him. And many other blunders which cost us.
One things for sure, we had it in our sights and lost it

Erm ron you definitely lose the title over 90 minutes.

The whole point of the season is to get to that 90 minutes to win the title.

It will come within the final 5 games. Everything is all for that game.

Tonk united 500-0 in august do not matter.

The titles won in may.

If allen, hendo, Lucas or anyone else made that pass it qouldnt be accepted but you have to look elsewhere because it was stevie.

We lost the title over the course of the season not during those 90 minutes. If we had won more games and lost less games we would have had the title tegardless of Stevies slip or Sakhos pass. Its just as easy to say that the loss against Stoke earlier that year was the reason we didn't come first in May.
I blame the whole thing on Aspas as im sure he missed a sitter at some point which could have gotten us extra points.


12.) 13 Jan 2017
13 Jan 2017 03:14:32
What about all the games we lost up until new years that year. Weren't we 5th at one point? Ron is spot on, that's the difference between league and Cup football. You can't really win or lose anything in a league game but 3 points.


13.) 13 Jan 2017
13 Jan 2017 03:38:32
supermane i think what ron is saying is the league is not won or lost in 1 game, bt over 38 games.

so many 3-3s, 4-4s in that seasons, for games we should have won comfortably bt go on to concede soft goals, not 1 bt 3/ 4 in a game.

if we had won those games, stevies slip wouldn't have mattered. stevies slip was his fault, bt that doesn't mean u shouldn't look at the games before that. performances over the whole season determines where we finish at the end of the season, so the point still stands, u don't win or lose the title over 90 minutes, its a marathon not a sprint.


14.) 13 Jan 2017
13 Jan 2017 04:58:31
Say for example that was the last game of the year and we needed to win to secure the title, do you think then that that slip then cost us the title?
I say no, how bout you!?


15.) 13 Jan 2017
13 Jan 2017 06:28:29
So how do you think we will win the league this season. We are pretty much in the same position we were 3 years ago. Best attack followed by half decent defense.


16.) 13 Jan 2017
13 Jan 2017 06:33:03
Ok, I'll qualify my post 😄
If 2 teams have both won 37 consecutive games and then meet each other in the last game of the season, then - and only then - do you win/ lose the title over 90 minutes.
In my mind, this eventuality has never happened.


17.) 13 Jan 2017
13 Jan 2017 07:20:33
Of course it hasn't happened Ron. It is impossible for both teams to win their first meeting.

But they could draw! Super extreme examples and probably would only evwr happen in la liga. Imagine that draw both games against your rival and win every other game and only separated by goal dofference! Anywho, stevie slipped and it felt like a big moment at a crucial time in the title race

Steve Mcmahon is heard and seen to indicate 2 minutes to go in the last game of the season when we were already losing the game. We lost the title in the last 2 minutes in 1989.

We lost the game in the 2 minutes 39 seconds of injury time on goals scored. Let's not argue about the 90 minutes played or the previous games played in the season. Fact Liverpool lost the title in 1989 in injury time. If John Barnes takes the ball to the corner flag instead of trying to get something out of the game, imo we win the title. Gerrards slip with 2 games to play had less impact on us winning the league than John Barnes being on the edge of the opponents box and trying to create a chance, rather than taking the ball to the corner flag and seeing the game out. I blame neither Gerrard or Barnes by the way. Just saying that the title can be lost in injury time, because it has.

The title is won or lost over 38 games (based on 20 teams in the league) .

Our defence was none existent (conceded 12 shots on goal per game) in 2014 compared to this season. We are not great but way better than we were in 2014.

Real reason for the slip up was because Henderson, our young captain elect injured or banned?
