Chapter 261

Liverpool's next Premier League opponent is Chelsea, who are closely behind them.

Liverpool played at home in this game.

In the original time and space, this game was the game where Gerrard was constantly mocked for his fall.

Laughing at him for a game where Liverpool's season of hard work was wiped out with his fall.

As for Gerrard, he can't forget his fall, and he also admits that the scar that caused him to miss the Premier League title because of the slip will not heal.

Even Gerrard's departure from Liverpool, Europe, and the United States in the future to start his new journey is also related to his fall.

In his documentary, he said that except because he had no way to play in Liverpool at the time, he stayed in the main lineup.

Another reason is that he wanted to escape the city of Liverpool. His fall cost the team their first Premier League trophy.

Even if Liverpool fans didn't blame him, he still couldn't forget it, so he chose to leave Liverpool and go to the United States.

However, in fact, this incident was not that serious in the context of the time.

Even if Liverpool lost that game, Liverpool still has the possibility of winning the championship, but they don't have the initiative to win the championship.

Chelsea are two points behind and City are three points behind with a game in hand.

So, who has the initiative to compete for the championship?The answer is Manchester City!

When the two teams have the same points, the goal difference is compared. At present, Liverpool's goal difference is 50, while Manchester City's goal difference is 58, which is 8 points ahead of Liverpool.

If there is no rare high score in the next two games, it will be difficult for Liverpool to surpass Manchester City in terms of goal difference.

But no one can say what the result of Manchester City's game will be. After all, Manchester City lost a game against Sunderland before.

And from the analysis of the schedule, the situation is actually favorable to Liverpool: the two opponents behind Liverpool are: away game against Crystal Palace and home game against Newcastle.

In contrast to Manchester City, the remaining three games are: away game against Everton, home game against Villa, and home game against West Ham United. These three games can be said to be the worst game against Everton.

Judging from the confrontation in recent years, Everton can be called the "bitter master" of Manchester City. This battle is definitely a battle of life and death!Since January 2010, Manchester City and Everton have only won two games in nine battles.

And this time it is at Everton's home court against Manchester City. Manchester City has lost 4 consecutive games against Everton at this stadium.

(Of course, judging from the subsequent results, Manchester City made no mistakes, and Liverpool has no hope.)
However, in Li Nan's view, the truly fatal game was the subsequent game against Crystal Palace.

In that Liverpool away game against Crystal Palace, Liverpool and Crystal Palace drew [-]-[-].

In that game, Liverpool was [-]-[-] in the first half of the game, and the score was always [-]-[-] until the last ten minutes of the game.

But in the last ten minutes or so, the world turned upside down.

Crystal Palace chased three goals in a row, turning the score into a three-to-three tie.

Liverpool failed to win a thrilling victory with a small goal like they faced Manchester City and Norwich before. This time, they had no choice but to achieve a draw.

In Li Nan's view, the loss of this game is what really made Liverpool lose the initiative to win the championship.

What is the reason for the draw in this game?

Is it because of the change in team mentality caused by Liverpool's defeat in the last game?

There may be a little reason, because after the three-goal lead, the team may want to get a little more goal difference to reduce the goal difference between themselves and Manchester City, but this is certainly not the main reason.

In Liverpool's last few games, Manchester City and Norwich have scored three to two.

There were a lot of goals, but they were also scored, all of which were small victories by one goal.

It's just that this game against Crystal Palace didn't have a lucky small victory, but was tied.

However, Crystal Palace was a bit lucky in this game. It can be regarded as a miracle to be able to score three consecutive goals in the last 10 minutes.

It's just that this time Miracle Liverpool is not the protagonist, but the background board.

Liverpool's final performance made Li Nan doubt his eyes, suspecting that it was a match-fixing.

How could this happen? It is impossible to describe Li Nan's feelings at that time in words.

It's probably like facing the fans of the national football team at some point.

But now it's different, Liverpool's winning form is more clear, only one point is needed.

Even if Liverpool have conceded fewer goals in these games and Manchester City has not scored a goal difference in these games, Liverpool can still win the championship.

But for a team that is contending for the championship, there is no way to score a point in three consecutive games. How could such a thing happen?
Still, there are a few things to watch before the two teams play.

A news that shocked the football world was born during this period.

Moyes dismissed get out of class.

After the away loss to Moyes' old club Everton, Manchester United officially announced that the first team coach Moyes has stepped down.

Manchester United succinctly wrote in an official statement: "Manchester United officially announces that David Moyes has left the club. The club thanks you for your hard work and the honesty and integrity you have brought to us."

The reason for Moyes' dismissal was first of all that the management was out of control, and Manchester United's players rebelled collectively.Ferdinand, Van Persie, Rooney, Vidic, Giggs and Moyes are not waiting to be seen.

The second is the degradation of Moyes' tactics. His tactics are just a replica of the tactics he used in Everton, which is different from Manchester United's previous style.

As the leader of the Premier League before, how could their tactics be the same as Everton's? A gorgeous style of play is definitely what Manchester United needs to pursue.

On the sidelines, Moyes' on-the-spot command has no characteristics, and substitutions are rarely Ferguson-style masterpieces.

The third problem is his transfer arrangement, 51 games, 51 lineups, which makes fans feel that he has never been able to find the most suitable team.

In terms of transfer operations, Moyes spent a huge sum of 6400 million pounds to buy Fellaini and Mata.

But the performance of the Belgian midfielder was a bit bad. The top scorer of the Toffees this season has not scored a goal in Manchester United this season.

Of course, if Fellaini is only regarded as a defensive midfielder, his performance is not bad.

Although Moyes also spent a lot of money, this is Manchester United. As long as they can improve the team's record, they are not short of money.

And Moyes obviously didn't have such awareness, he was still a little timid in his mentality, and he didn't dare to spend a lot of money to buy someone.

 There should not be many genuine readers who have read this, and there are probably some pirated novel websites, and the author can also say something in his heart here.

  I am not an old Liverpool fan either. I only cared about European football since the 2015-16 season, when I chose Liverpool as my home team.

  I didn’t know much about Liverpool before that. I also learned a lot about Liverpool’s past when I wrote the novel this time. It’s the first time I’ve learned many of them. It’s a good feeling.
