Probably nothing else he could do. I don't think there's a harder player in the country to get the ball off.
Premier League Festive Season
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Dont see why Liverpool fans would panic.
They have arguablely best manager in the world,a transfer window to get in a CB and Tiago back to play the long passes that they are missing without VVD. They are strong favourites.
I think our lack of pre-season and subsequent bad early results was unfortunate. If we had another 5-6 points on the board going to Anfield we could have had them under real pressure.

Cancelled out by the late winner at Wolves for me. Sometimes you get them and sometimes you don't.
I’d fancy Villa to comfortably beat Liverpool again if they played right now. Shame Wolves completely rolled over for them.
Saints gonna to come in with the W on Monday so we can take top spot next time. I'm optimistic. 
Liverpool are still comfortable favourites but at least someone is giving chase for the first time in over a year.
Yep, Klopp should worry about Utd, Leicester and Everton.
So nice when we are the first game of the weekend and win.
Bookmarked.
2: don't underestimate City and their 2 games in hand.
Shame we've got to wait till Monday to see if Southampton can get anything against Liverpool. Although it seems Southampton are playing a bit too well to get anything from that game, seems the Scousers prefer to drop points against the bottom teams instead.
What I'm saying is they'll win 9-0.

City need to be judged based on their level. They’re a notch or two below United this season in my opinion. Plus they go to Chelsea tomorrow with a number of players unavailable due to Covid. I wouldn’t be shocked to see them drop points.
If you read my first post you would see why. Nothing to do with Manchester United. But what he is doing at West Ham.
As you say. He is a premier League manager. What are your credentials.
City's games in hand are against Villa and Everton. Would be surprised if they got 6 points tbh
They play in the cup soon. But clearly that'll be the usual insult the cup outfit Klopp insists on.
Seems we're clearly the winners during festive season. Somehow lucky, but still.
I'd expect the football quality to improve in the coming weeks, although January is thick with games so not sure if that'll happen.

Hope Leeds embarrass Tottenham today. Mourinho's meltdown has to start soon.
It’s a game Mou will be desperate to win, especially since Bielsa is King of the Poets. I think it’ll be an absolutely fascinating game with two polar opposite views on how to play the game and win.
Yep, and best to start his meltdown at the start of new year.
Can see Leeds playing directly into Spurs hands and getting done on the counter like against us
Yeah, big fan of that. Did it higher up the pitch so wasn't carded.
I see Jose is crying about our game in hand again. Its not as if they gave us an extra 3 pts to play for ffs

Reckon Spurs can get joy counter attacking like we did and Leeds will be punished. That being said, if Leeds score first....
Soon find out when they play in the Cup.
Thing is they need that overwhelming style to pay dividends early then teams tend to fold. Hold on and defend well and a draw is a real possibility. Going to gung ho against them, leaves gaps down the flanks. Liverpool's FBs are far more progressive than ours.
Personally I'm not seeing a 'comfortable' win by Villa
Playing late on a Sunday sucks a big fat donkey dick.
I'd forgotten about the cup game. Klopp isn't interested in the FA Cup though, he'll throw that match as usual, so it won't be an accurate account of a matchup.
Well done Tottenham.
Interesting one. He knows his best chance is in the UCL and PL so could field a changed side. Didn’t they get battered here in the League Cup last season? Villa went to the semi quite easily IIRC.
Villa will be realistic however and see this as a great opp to progress
Jose v Bielsa.
I feel there is the potential for a new Jose v Wenger type feud here.

It is me doing it (waiting for my team to play).Well it isn’t you doing it
Just get on with it, worse things in life
And no, there is nothing worse. Nothing at all.
Vinicius and Moura out as well could be a hard day for Jose..
You should try winning on a Friday night, then you can sit back and freeroll your rivals losing where just 1 dropped point is a bonus.
Much more enjoyable. Highly recommended.
It's because their players broke quarantine rules. There's no way the could ask for a postponement. See the covid in footy thread for full details
IdiotsLooks like they had a good time!
I can definitely feel your pain. Playing PL matches on sundays is easily the worst part about dropping down to the Europa League.
Doubt it. Jose has beaten him every time and there’s no feud. He says he’s a good coach. The Wenger thing was over the fawning the media gave Wenger even when he’d failed to win the PL. I don’t think he sees Bielsa as a specialist in failure
