Liverpool have it in their hands, but NEVER bet against Mourinho or Yaya's Legion
The theory goes...if Liverpool win all their games, then they win the league. So, in THEORY, the shit is in their hands. TWO home games against their title rivals....and we all know how hot they've been at home, but it's those away games and that LAST home game that could trip them up.
I am not really looking at the Chelsea and the City game. Of course, they have BEAT THE SHIT out of guys on their home circuit, but you really think Mourinho or Pellegrini won't have something for that ASS when they go up there? Knowing what has happened to other teams? AND, armed with the knowledge that they have beaten Liverpool....who cares where you play, it's the same patch of grass and same sport.
West Ham are a tough team coached by a tough manager. THAT is the kind of match that Liverpool can easily slip up on. They SHOULD win it with the way they are playing and their talent, but it won't be an easy game. West Ham could make things nice and ugly and frustrate the Cannibal and Sturridge.
Then you have that away game against Crystal Palace. This is a VERY WELL coached team, and the same team that just beat Chelsea...DESERVEDLY. So that is another game that Liverpool will find far trickier. That is when the pressure will mount, the balls will tighten, and the skin starts to itch....IT'S THE BIG BOY TIME, where the experienced will know how to get it done. Because even the Invincibles, who played AMAZING attacking football, had to also win ugly and just get that win. Are Liverpool capable of doing that? We SHALL SEE....
