I’ve been out of action for a few days with a three day business meeting over in Manchester and originally missed the comment from the presser and Phil’s as ever , well written piece
Some “balls on the table “ statement innit
I totally understand he can’t say “we”ll take a point right now “ but managing fan”s expectations is also a pretty important aspect
I for one love the intent and I truly hope he’s correct but at the same time I hope GON isn’t putting himself up there to be shot down
Good luck to those fortunate enough to be there tonight
Make it loud and as ever make us proud |  |

I get your point but if I were playing tonight I'd much rather my manager said that we're in with a good chance of a point.
Managing players' psyche is much more important, especially as we all know that some fans will be queuing up to criticise when ever things don't go perfectly. |  | | |

I think (hope) supporters will just take it for what it is, a bit of healthy optimism.
I don't think anyone can expect us to get a result against Liverpool, at home or otherwise. They're 1/2 to win for a good reason. We can hope though, and I like the optimism. Said it from GON's first interview, its refreshing to see a manager talking up our chances. No shade on McKenna but every interview felt like the next game was a monumental challenge, 'top opposition', difficult schedule, travel, etc. Despite having a significantly more expensive squad 90% of the time. Maybe his motivations were more about warning against complacency or expectancy.
Either way its nice to hear O'Neil be bullish. Seems to have a mentality to match the club we want to be. |  | | |

Of course they will. Wouldn't matter what he said.
Right now they'll be salivating over the prospect that one of our players might misplace a pass tonight.... |  | | |

Yeah, KM’s messaging around that was starting to annoy me a bit. He was probably right, but there’s a fine line between managing expectations/respecting the opposition and depressing people!
I did a double take at GON’s comment though. That’s completely in the opposite direction. It’ll probably come back to bite him on the arse, but you never know (it’s the hope that kills you, etc.). |  |

I'd rather be hung as a sheep than a lamb. Just go for it and see what happens. |  | | |

Clever statement - basically, it's him saying he'd be happy with a point but phrasing it in an open, positive way.
I think it highlights statements made before the start of the season that we're targeting much improved home form after our dreadful form last time in the Prem. |  | | |

It’s looking decidedly sillier by the minute. If we can keep it under 3 or 4 we’d have done alright! |  |

You mean his positive comments? I dont see why thats the problem
Be nice if our fans could create a bit of noise and atmosphere and try to keep some pressure on Liverpool | | | |
