That’s so depressing. :lol:
Definitely is when you consider how far ahead you were as champions last year and when you remember that we finished 12th. We were 50 points behind you last year and we finished on 49 points. :houllier: :lol:

Last season even after surviving I thought Dean Smith should be in trouble as that Villa team is a good side and shouldn’t of been down there but he is doing a good job. Obviously Grealish is a top player but Traore looks great too.

That’s ridiculous but shows what a good job Ancelotti has done. We’re not as good but you’ve made some gains too.

That’s incredible, even if you doubled your points you still would of been a point off. Ancelotti has done a good job so far. After your good start you had a really bad run, Richardlison was missing and so was James you missed that spark in the final 3rd completely and it also killed DCL as he relied on creativity it brought you back to last seasons level.

See over the last few years yous have spent quite a bit of money and mostly I feel it was overspending on average to decent players. When Ancelotti came in it opens the door for better players due to his reputation and achievements that if you continue to spend money he will take yous to challenging for top 4. I’m certain of it he is a manager I’ve also loved.

Not sure your PR department can handle releasing two DVDs in one season. I reckon your players will have strict instructions to not overtake us again. :)

So we can't post in the match day thread. It seems very likely Salah, Bobby and Mane will be starting tomorrow. That means AWB and specially Shaw will be required again. Both did an excellent job and not sure if Tuanzebe and Telles can keep that standard.

Also it would be suicidal to start Bruno again. Firstly he spent 90 minutes chasing shadows tiring out his hamstrings and soft tissue without much output, but secondly if this is the game that Bruno is injured (KdB style) then it's goodbye to the league title and danger for top four again (seeing as there are so many teams so close together).

Can we just focus on trying to score a goal before worrying about what they’re going to do?

Abraham ...... a better forward than all the stuff they purchased in the summer.

Shouldn't there be an orange ball for snow? Gone more now but hard to see yellow one in the white.

Can Kepa actually be called a premier league standard keeper at this point? :lol:

Ziyech doesn’t have a right foot at all does he.
