I predict an absolute hammering followed by the press announcing that Liverpool are finally legitimate title contenders. If you look at the teams - I honestly don't think they're that much better than us - certainly not in midfield anyway (on paper). Still though, they always seem to destroy us these days.

I know what you're saying I think I just thought that we didn't look AS bad as we have done previously in one of our patented collapses. I agree that it looks a lot like the other times we've thrown games away, I think I'm just desperately scrambling for signs of improvement!

I'd argue that we only started doing that after they scored and became more assertive, but I'll defer to your presumably greater knowledge. Either way, I just made £60 out of this game so I'm happy to be wrong!

I don't think he did set us up for that, we came out strongly at the start of the second half. I honestly think we're just psychologically a bit weak and perhaps panic a bit. Something to work on probably, off the back of building confidence when we successfully do see the game out.

On the plus side, we're actually a fucking good team when we want to be. Some of our one touch passing was exceptional.

Thank fuck for that. Perhaps not as nervy as it could have been.

Where has he found 4 mins of stoppage time...

Yep, there goes Cabaye for Ben Arfa.

That would make sense, fair enough.

Removing Remy - about sums it up now. Fingers crossed I guess.

So, looks as though we've surrendered the middle ground and are resorting to countering whenever possible. That won't slow the game down, so I reckon this is going to be a nerve wracking end. I wonder what winning comfortably feels like...

Oh God, they're throwing Bellamy on...

I doubt Cardiff can play with this intensity for long, we need to ride it out for 5-10 minutes.

I'm not sure I can watch us throw away another win...

aaaaand so it begins... Williamson's error tbf.

Reckon we should consider swapping Gouffran with Ben Arfa soon...

We've started brightly but if they score we'll retreat into ourselves...

Cardiff have had only two attempts and neither of them on target. We'd have to pull something special out of the bag to fuck this up.

Yeah, the complexion of this game will change markedly next half. With that said, they've offered no penetration themselves so I think we should be able to hold this.

YEEESSSS

Now if we can just go for the kill rather than sitting back.

FUCKING YES!

Game feels a bit scrappier now... this is where I fear for us usually.

Couple of good chances there, hope we can keep this up.

Dare I say it - we're looking quite the better team at this point.
