2 man midfield
Last Man Standing finalist 2021/22
Leeds are so shit
I didn't feel my snapped arm until I woke up the following day.True, I did mine as a kid, I didn’t think it was that bad at the time but it was.
I’d say that when it clicks for them they are a better side than us but not by much now, by the end of this year I think that’ll change.This Liverpool team have problems. Defence is looking pretty good again, not great, but solid.
Midfield lack options with energy though and Mane and Firmino look like shadows of the players they were, while Jota is widely inconsistent and doesn’t seem to gel well with Salah.
They are still a good team, no hyperbole, but they have some quite serious issues.
Chelsea got a red in the 1st half of that game.Genuine question, as I can't remember anything that happened before the international break, but how did Chelsea do in their draw? They've been smacking them in of late but only managed one against the scouse.
Having missed about 6 other chances."That's what he does"
There surely can't have been a more obvious top 4 in 10 years.The 4 teams that are expected to finish the season in the top 4 are all in the top 4 after just 4 games, that doesn't bode well for the other top 4 hopefuls.
The thing is, just because someone has talent as a footballer doesn't mean they have even the slightest bit of class and niceness about them as a person.Definitely not a red now..
If that chat screenshot of his mother is real.. what a fecking cnut..
I am not sure about that anymore. I know Mane has just scored, but he has been below par for some time now, a worryingly long time. Same for Firmino.I’d say that when it clicks for them they are a better side than us but not by much now, by the end of this year I think that’ll change.
Ah yes that's right, then we were all waiting for Liverpool to break them down but they didn't manage it. Balls to them then.Chelsea got a red in the 1st half of that game.

Was thinking that yesterday. Top 4 race won't be much of a race this year unless Leicester do a reverse of what they normally do and actually get their act together as the season goes on (I wouldn't bet on it though)The 4 teams that are expected to finish the season in the top 4 are all in the top 4 after just 4 games, that doesn't bode well for the other top 4 hopefuls.
And could’ve conceded easily too (though still would’ve won) against an open, lower-mid table team. And playing part game v tenI'm struggling to feel as confident as you are, having seen them stroll an away win out, but having missed about 20 chances on top.

There are forwards out there outside of Mbappe, Haaland and Kane.Liverpool are a side that were great, but key players are beginning the decline.
It only takes a 5% drop in performance of a few players to go from winners to also rans. Its what made Fergie so remarkable that he could see and do something about it year after year after year.
I don't really think they ever thought Mbappe was an option, that was just rumours to please the fans, but I suspect Klop knows they needed fresh talent.
Arguably then needed kane more than anyone, he plays the firmino role better than anyone around and scores a potful of goals too, and I really can't see them getting Haaland next season, so not sure what they will do.
Leeds have been horrendous to be fair. Maybe I am mad, but they just don’t seem to have that intensity anymore and their fearsome front three aren’t so fearsome.I'm struggling to feel as confident as you are, having seen them stroll an away win out, but having missed about 20 chances on top.
Yeah but it was never going to even be a draw.And could’ve conceded easily too (though still would’ve won) against an open, lower-mid table team. And playing part game v ten
All the top teams will look good against Leeds though.Liverpool looked good today, could've scored 6 easily
Can’t see why missing chances is a positive? Their struggles to supplement Salah is a real problem for themI'm struggling to feel as confident as you are, having seen them stroll an away win out, but having missed about 20 chances on top.
Of course there are, but few other than those can put in the numbers your guys were doing at their peaks, and that is the problem.There are forwards out there outside of Mbappe, Haaland and Kane.
Unlike in the previous seasons, I don't think there was anyone hoping (realistically) to get into the top-four this season, other than the 'Big Four'.The 4 teams that are expected to finish the season in the top 4 are all in the top 4 after just 4 games, that doesn't bode well for the other top 4 hopefuls.
We'll be looking for the next Mane and Salah before they've made it big, I reckon.Of course there are, but few other than those can put in the numbers your guys were doing at their peaks, and that is the problem.
If you aren't replacing them with the very best, you are going backwards.
And we win the league on GD? Will take thatLast years top four already taking the top four places. It wouldn’t be that big a surprise if it doesn’t change between now and the end.
Hopefully. Last minute Ronaldo winner would do it.And we win the league on GD? Will take that
Your midfield is being carried by Fabinho at the moment. Cant remember if it was lvg or mourinho but whoever passed him over really cocked that one up. Still think Thiago is just a shite Jonjo Shelvey though, his dwelling on the ball almost caused Alisson a great embarrassment.Fabinho and Thiago were top quality today, alongside Salah.
Mane had more shots than the entire Leeds team. Glad he got his goal in the end, but my word he fluffed his chances.
It will be interesing to see what Klop comes up with, but I would image that at some point if nothing changes the owners are going to start getting stick.We'll be looking for the next Mane and Salah before they've made it big, I reckon.
Creating chances is very important. You'd be much more worried as a Liverpool fan if they'd been massively under the cosh and romped away and blagged 3 goals in 3 shots.Can’t see why missing chances is a positive? Their struggles to supplement Salah is a real problem for them
