Special Juan 28,188 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 "The academy day"On a serious note I don't think we have had any standout moment so far.Liverpool away from 1-0 down....Everton away 6-3....Schalke away 5-0....I can't believe you cannot pull a stand out moment from our season so far..

lionsden 4,689 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Liverpool away from 1-0 down....Everton away 6-3....Schalke away 5-0....I can't believe you cannot pull a stand out moment from our season so far..There's a difference between performances/result and moments. Your examples fall into the formerDo you want an example of moments? Ba's winner against PSG, Gerrard's slip, Jose's celebrations at anfield after Willian's goal etc etc from last season those are moments and we haven't produced any so far this season, not by my definition anyway. Jose and Wenger's fight is probably the only closest thing to a "moment" we have had so far.Now if the question had been best performance so far this season. . . . . . . . .

Special Juan 28,188 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Serious question: Do you, each time we score a goal boo and shout at your TV: "Why bother? We're going to lose this match and won't win anything this season anyway!"?Just trying his best to become the most controversial poster on TC.....when awards time comes around again!!I heard when Costa scored his second against Everton he turned the TV off because it was boring and too many goals.

Fernando 6,595 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I kinda agree with lionsden on this one. Too early for this. I did liked the Everton game and schurrle goal against Burnley but they are not decisive games that brings the excitement and joy up a notch. Like Ba late equalizer against psg last season and mourinho running to the by line...Funny that I did the same running all around my house. ?

Finally someone who gets it.Moments are singular event that standouts, some can be very iconic even and is usually highetened by the importance and context of the occassion. It's impossible for a whole game/performance to be a moment. it defeats the purpose and the very definition of moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,888 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 When we announced we were signing Diego Costa. Ok its not exactly a 'moment' in the same way Mikel's backheel is or his goal against Arsenal is but the guy has been a brilliant signing, winding everyone up, playing for the cause and ultimately looking like he doesn't give a fuck who it is he's squaring up to. When was the last time we had that in a player??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 This is a dumb question and unfortunately I don't answer stupid and incoherent questions.That's my mental image of you. Every time I read one of your posts, especially this season when we are winning almost all games, I imagine you booing the TV every time we score...No offence, but I think you're trying too hard to be the "realistic" guy that you now sound deludedly pessimistic.

TheOneChan95 225 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Finally someone who gets it.Moments are singular event that standouts, some can be very iconic even and is usually highetened by the importance and context of the occassion. It's impossible for a whole game/performance to be a moment. it defeats the purpose and the very definition of moment.I understand what you mean. I think it's too early in the season to have those special moments though because nothing of importance is actually being decided yet. But I think there are a few nice moments so far. For me they are :1. Torres leaving. 2. 2nd goal at Burnley. From being 1-0 down to 2-1 up in such a short span of time with a sublime assist from our new signing and amazing team play. I really liked that. I'm not sure about what other people feel but I think opposition fans might have felt a bit of fear watching us turn the tide so effortlessly and quickly. 3. When Hazard forced an OG from Coleman vs Everton and Costa proceeded to taunt him. Loved that moment. Finally we had someone fearless upfront who takes no shit. Couldn't give a rat's ass about other's opinion of him as long as we win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionsden 4,689 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Well noteworthy Moments are usually born out of big occassions which comes at the business end of the season when games matter more like champions league semis and finals, crucial big games and title deciders etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike 12,049 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 In no certain order:1. The passing and finish for the Schurrle goal against Burnley.2. The rollercoaster of emotion suffered in that crazy 6-3 win at Everton.3. Fabregas' goal at Crystal Palace. Again, utterly brilliant passing and movement.4. Coming from behind to beat those Scousers at Anfield.If I could I would suspend you for a week for 'rollercoaster of emotion'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidzeret 2,257 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Apart from the obvious one's mentioned, Oscar's pure strike with the outside of his foot.Tbf, I haven't gotten over that touchline huddle last season when we scored against PSG #DareToDemba.

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (1) Chelsea 6-0 Maribor. I think that was our best performance of the season in terms of actual football. Some of the football that night was simply astonishing.(2) Another highly enjoyable moment was putting those Scouse cunts to the sword. Liverpool 1-2 Chelsea. Just the complete superiority we showed after all the stick their fans gave us for playing defensively at Anfield last season. And just the sweetness of how quickly the table turned from last season to this. (3) Also, Costa's brace followed by his hattrick vs Everton and Swansea respectively. Not so much the goals, but the joy of knowing we finally had a top class finisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimitri 4 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 For me it was by far and probably of all times, when Frankie scored against us and his reaction righ after! Just priceless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Have to be our wins at Anfield in the same year, lol. But the best is yet to come everybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
