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

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

Spoke to Bruce Grobbelaar about Klopp, ending the title drought and new #LFC No 1 Karius https://t.co/MOCdE3E8wf

And that’s enough to drive any fan mad.

this needs knocking on the head. We've played what, 11 games? This is just clickbait.

2. Someone talks Dejan Lovren up as competent

Then of course he gives the ball away in the corner against West Ham for no reason at all and hands them a goal.

3. The team sheet drops

Either Lucas is playing centre back.

Or Moreno is back.

4. The early kickoff is always a banana skin

Have #LFC ever not been 💩 in the early kick off game?

5. And so is the team who hasn’t won in bloody ages

Palace haven't won since Dec. 19 & no other team but us would allow them to break their losing streak! Inconsistency at its finest! 😠🙈 #LFC

6. Moreno goes close

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.
