10 deathly signs that it’s going to be a bad day for Liverpool

Homesport

Every club has them, the football equivalent to the Grim Reaper.

You know them too well, the signs that it's not going to be your day. They come in the shape of a player, or a bad omen, or something telling and worrying on the pitch. Liverpool are no strangers to any of these and the fans, by this stage, see the signs as if it was a banshee coming for them. Here are the 10 phases that contribute to a bad day for the 'Pool. 1. Someone talks Liverpool up as title contenders https://twitter.com/JamesPearceEcho/status/797104553665695744 And that's enough to drive any fan mad. https://twitter.com/B_S_L/status/797114109493964800 2. Someone talks Dejan Lovren up as competent https://twitter.com/guardian_sport/status/637391056544399364 Then of course he gives the ball away in the corner against West Ham for no reason at all and hands them a goal. https://twitter.com/redman2004/status/637660792368836608 3. The team sheet drops Either Lucas is playing centre back. https://twitter.com/SooMuchMane/status/805395308448546816 Or Moreno is back. https://twitter.com/ClassyAlonso/status/764824038300581888 4. The early kickoff is always a banana skin https://twitter.com/alanjgould/status/782187735998226432 5. And so is the team who hasn't won in bloody ages https://twitter.com/AdventureWithK/status/706493056112050182 https://twitter.com/INMayanja/status/706488292297064448 6. Moreno goes close https://twitter.com/Tachie_1990/status/700433730612158464 Then he thinks he has a licence to keep bombing forward at any half opportunity and completely neglect any duties he might otherwise have at the other end. https://twitter.com/olliegaffer7/status/704000875203829760 7. Someone talks Dejan Lovren up as competent https://twitter.com/Euro16fr/status/771276907237158912 They only have themselves to blame for that, really. Or not. https://twitter.com/Robish13/status/805435227036381184 https://twitter.com/AndreasTimgren/status/805435708987080704 8. Steven Gerrard shows up in the stands Liverpool v Sunderland - Premier League And Liverpool are told they could do with him. https://twitter.com/DamienMarchant/status/802549317156253697 But, you know... Liverpool2 9. Philippe Coutinho gets injured Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool - Premier League And all hope is lost. https://twitter.com/jonnie13310/status/808014688869056517 https://twitter.com/mychael_says/status/808014517896708096 https://twitter.com/Flabiid/status/808012994676477952 10. It doesn't matter because the 'keeper will only compound the misery anyway Either Karius. https://twitter.com/DavidBurgan1/status/808000277332819968 Or Mignolet. https://twitter.com/TheAlonsoRole/status/776859785861955584 Karius. https://twitter.com/attenBRUH/status/807995844876062720 Or Mignolet. https://twitter.com/trimmtraber/status/774656484118593536 Karius. https://twitter.com/FBA_95/status/807995732938649601 Or Mignolet. https://twitter.com/oswaldgutenberg/status/776866487432798208 Or Karius. https://twitter.com/Youngerweireld/status/805432100128223233
