I get the we have to play all the games anyway stuff but I do feel sequence and timing has a big impact.
Our christmas period is a nice schedule IMO. Both games after christmas day are at home. ok one is city but.. its at home.
in our run in (last 10) only city again at the 10th last game then everyone else is everton, southampton, west ham and lower sides... only one big top 4 side. thats pretty ok.
again we spurs, arsenal and cheslea early enough away which can hurt of course... but having them more at home when the chips are down can help... if LFC are totally focused on league that coudl be a small help.
