Hull played well and we were unfortunate for two of their goals
Palace were going nowhere until Johnson decided he couldn't be arsed to amble forward 3 yards to block a shot

My manager walked into my office about 5 minutes ago "Did you hear what happened in the Liverpool match?", I admittedly figured Liverpool scored another 3 (it was 3-0 last I had checked) giving them a 6-0 final.
...And now I see this?
Liverpool fans, I'm with you.

God damn it.
I believed this would be the season.
We have to pray that Winston Reid destroys City now.

Let's hope. Not only has this been probably Liverpool's best chance at a title, but it would just be a great story, considering how unexpected their success has been. If you're a fan, that's the kind of team you want to win it all. (Oh, hell. I'd settle for any kind of team winning it all...)
The roads of the Barclays Premier League are strewn with top clubs lining up to plea to their king for his approval.
Pulis sits upon his throne, sighing wistfully into the middle-distance. He is not moved to bestow the Title to any of these subjects.
He longs for the one he wished was still alive.
He longs for his one.
Moyes.

FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT DEFENSE. GET FUCKED JOHNSON. Hope his dumbass is sold in the summer and Moses, we'll be happy to see the back of your dumbass.

at least gerrard can have some solace that his mistake wasnt the thing that stopped us, though still sucks.

City may not win 6-0, but you can be sure that Kompany won't let 3-0 become 3-3.
Take them out the back and shot them/10

Yep. Defenses like this aren't fixed in one summer, and there's no chance we get a period of momentum to prop us up as we did in that 11 game run

You just know City will draw vs West Ham. Football, man..
Barca draw vs Getafe "meh season was over anyway"
then
Real Madrid draw and Atletico lose "fuuuuuuuuu, coulda had shot at title"
same thing will happen

For me in the end what really killed things was not truly the defence, but fatigue. Liverpool have pretty much played the same first 11 in every game since December, and we really saw today players just not able to keep up - Suarez and Sturridge have both faded off, Suarez really badly. If either was truly on form, then the results against Chelsea and tonight wouldn't have happened. If Johnson hadn't run himself out up and down the touchline then he could have kept up with Bolasie. Gerrard too, was just not in the midfield today.
Nah, it's bullshit to blame Johnson for that one. He was in line with the defence in the right position, but the midfield was nowhere closing the man down. Never enough time to close down the man

part of me wishes we could sell all the first team defence and get a whole new one who doesnt do that all the time.

He did though. He said he would take a 1-0 before the match started because 3 points was the most important thing.

3/4 horrendous individual errors
Johnson stands off against a player there's no need to stand off against
Skrtel leaves the danger to fight for an unwinnable ball
Coutinho and Johnson let Bolasie run past them instead of taking a booking

Sakho and Skrtel have 1 clean sheet in 17? Christ.

Technically speaking, that loss is the reason pool were going so high up trying to run up the score to ridiculous levels after 3-0 (I mean, honestly it's not possible to overturn a 9 goal difference... do you really think City is going to win 1-0 against fucking Villa and Fulham?).
Also, the irony of this does not fucking slip, and an actual slip is just... cosmic.

So how can we win the title now?
City can't get more than one point and we need to win against Newcastle?

City have to lose one of their games, and pool need to beat newcastle.

Jesus, I almost forgot about that. Fucking "slower than 50 pace in FIFA" Demichelis is going to win a PL title. /guffaw
The baffling thing is, neither of them have really played badly at all, Skrtel has had some individual errors but generally the pair have been solid as CBs. Indeed, only Kolo has really been poor at CB. Yet somehow the goals just keep coming
fuck our ever gaping defence. more fucking loose than a wizard's sleeve. got proverbially fisted and if one goal concede wasn't enough, they came back for 2nds and 3rds. i hope we get some strong reinforcements with ready established players, coz fuck, rammings are coming our way if we dont clench this fucking defence.

Liverpool win against Newcastle, and City lose against both Villa and West Ham, or draw against both Villa and West Ham.

Liverpool fans need to have perspective. 100% of them would taken a 2nd-place finish and a return to the CL before the season started.
Now they have an obscene core of young talent with CL money to upgrade, a new stadium coming, and it looks like Suarez will stay.
Disappointing how it shook out, but there's nothing to be ashamed of.
Mourinho's unbeaten PL streak ended against Sunderland.
