They could very easily slip up against Villa, but the reasoning was that their fixtures were extremely favourable, they were looking better, and had their best players back.

 

Oh yeah and they'd done it before 

 

 

 

 

They only played against top 6 in those first 28 games?

Mad how some people are adamant Gordon is a good signing yet don’t want Maddison.

 

Pretty certain I haven't read one post on here that is adamant Gordon was a good signing.

 

As for Maddison, well considering he's playing like his legs have gone already it's not difficult to see why.

Eh? :lol: What's that got to do with their easy run in? 

 

Eh? :lol: They had won like every third game until that point but somehow a 9 game winning streak was likely?

Maddison has had one of his best seasons, he’s not playing like his legs have gone. He’s produced unbelievable numbers in a terrible side.

Yeah lol, his legs are nowhere near gone. This is just a shit team, which he’s put up great numbers in.

Can't see him fitting into any side that presses with any kind of intensity. Both he and Tielemans move like pensioners.

Liverpool winning their final 9 in a row was like 5-10% chance at best, that's never likely.

 

Those odds were clearly nonsense, and there was money to be made on it. I just wish I'd done more than free bets.

 

Ridiculously easy run of games, no real pressure, fully fit squad, no European distractions, and a repeated track record of doing exactly this. Plenty of people on here said they'd do it and it's looking to be the case.

Hard to tell with the way Leicester are set up tbh. I think he would be brilliant for us. Tielemans I agree on.

Yes, for the reasons mentioned. Their easy run in, their returning players, them having done it before.

 

I can understand you arguing against it then, as you did. Not sure why you would argue against it now.

I'm very sceptical, but you may be right.

 

Be interesting to see where he ends up next, and how he performs.

Fwiw, I don’t think we sign him, the lad from Leipzig is much more likely imo.

Just to give another example of those probability tables being shite, Liverpool's chance of CL went up from 30% to 37% solely from beating that godawful Leicester side. Our 92% chance is down to 81% based on an away draw. A model with that much swing is worthless.

We went on a 9 game unbeaten run this season after the Man City game on 4/3 and before that we’d only won 6 games out of 24 - that’s only a win every 4 games.

Yet quite a few of us said it could happen, purely because we've seen it before. They also have the power of the establishment behind them to help out when it gets a bit rocky.

Something happening doesn't mean it was likely to happen. But yeah, I'm done with this conversation for now.
