The Bottom Four Bob thread is limping along. All these posts could have taken it closer to 1,000 – that would be a terrific achievement for the season!
You’ve just hit the nail on the head why Everton have got more points than previous years. Man utd have had a shocking season by their standards, so have a few other teams.Bigger teams have more resources than small teams. But how well they do depends upon how wisely they manage their resources.
Everton have done well this season – Martinez has made the most of the players at his disposal. David Moyes at Manchester United has not. And Tottenham have missed their big chance and simply frittered away the proceeds from the sale of Gareth Bale.
You could say just the same about Wigan. The club has risen as more famous clubs have faltered. But would you say Wigan won the cup because Manchester City failed? Of course not! Wigan played better than their opponents and deserved their victory.
Davids don’t always win when they take on Goliaths. Let’s celebrate them when they do and show a little more sympathy when the task proves beyond them.
What playoffs.We are wobbleling. Plus out all our games 17 games we aint scored in.our last four league games we lost three of them.lets look at the big picture.You were saying .. (ps. later post – 29 games = 51 points + Cup semi (bigger picture)
‘wobbling’ (?!), my ass !!
onwards and upwards …. but for Christ sake, get some penalty practice / taking strategy in place BEFORE the play-offs (UR) !! B)
Blackburn game – not overly important (before the ‘dark side’ carried away re. result/performance)…….. but fit squad / key players free from injury is !!
onwards and upwards …. but for Christ sake, get some penalty practice / taking strategy in place BEFORE the play-offs (UR) !! B)Maybe they’ve already been practising penalties in training & Waghorn came out on top & that’s why he took one at the weekend??

yes, very good, and the outcome (Waghorn) was … :silly:
stick with tried sand trusted for starters (my prior comments re Gerrard … yes he may miss the odd one, but the majority go in (10 this season, if not mistaken ….) See Gomez, for Wigan …
How many has Gomes missed?
Gerrard has failed to score 8 (out of 45) penalties for Liverpool. He also missed in the penalty competition in the 2006 World Cup for England v Portugal.

So Gerrard’s hit rate is 8-9 out of every 10 … not perfect, but pretty damn good. Gomez ? No idea … not many (missed), I assume, but I’ll leave it to you Merlin the Mathematician to tell me how many.
And for the record, don’t be so daft as to ask Rodgers whether or not Gerrard’s penalty prowess has made a significant contribution to their(hopefully, trophy-winning) season this year … the points already been made by Rodgers and pundit alike on TV …
It’s certainly a good record. Gerrard has taken 45 penalties for Liverpool – but I think there are some shoot-outs in that total.
Assuming that he has been taking penalties for 10 years, then Liverpool have been given 4 or 5 a year. That doesn’t seem an excessive number.
I’d expect top teams get more than bottom teams, although Liverpool haven’t had a Champion team while Gerrard has been playing for them.
Gerrard made his debut in 1998.
Fowler left Liverpool – for the first time – in 2001.
Murphy left Liverpool in 2004.
