Halfway there and living on a prayer!
Liverpool's best Premiership starts - halfway
08/09 P19 W12 D6 L1 PTS 42
05/06 P19 W12 D5 L2 PTS 41
96/97 P19 W11 D5 L3 PTS 38
01/02 P19 W11 D4 L4 PTS 37
07/08 P19 W10 D7 L2 PTS 37
Could have been even better if we hadn't dropped half as many points at home, even 46 points at home with two draws converted to wins would have been a handy cushion of points.
We are a mere two points better off than in the corresponding fixtures last season. We've played all the promoted sides at home and dropped four points compared to the two we dropped at home against the sides relegated last season ie we've got the same record from the corresponding fixtures. In our remaining fixtures we need to do better.........
Remaining fixtures - selected corresponding results 07/08
'Big Four' : Man Utd (a), Chelsea (h), Arsenal (h) - P3 W0 D2 L1 PTS 1
07/08 relegated sides away - P3 W1 D1 L1 PTS 4
home vs villa, bitters, spudz - P3 W1 D2 L0 PTS 5
away vs Pompey, Boro, West Ham - P3 W0 D2 L1 PTS 2
So there's TWELVE games where we dropped way too many points in the corresponding fixtures last season which are left to come this : P12 W2 D7 L3 PTS 13. It's where most of our defeats from last season came and pretty much relegation form. That may seem very selective indeed, the rest I believe were all wins, but bear in mind it's twelve of our last nineteen so is well over half - and arguably what killed our title challenge. If we repeat the corresponding results from the nineteen remaining games this season then we'd have
1st half (08/09) P19 W12 D6 L1 PTS 42
2nd half (from corresponding 07/08 fixtures) P19 W9 D7 L3 PTS 34
And we'd be on exactly the same number of points. It would be well short of the 27 wins target so we must do something about the draws and not lose silly games like West Ham and Reading away. If we could pick up 14+ points against our title rivals and the newly promoted sides then we'd have an extra NINE points.
