No one knew that before he was picked, after not having played all season.Stones scored
You're looking at the result instead of the process - it's still weird as feck especially given how Southgate has treated others in the same predicament in the past.Stones scored
I dislike Klopp for many reasons, but respect is another thing, and I think most if anyone have a a lot of respect for his willingness to speak out on issues such as the Newcastle takeover and money in football generally. Goofy and annoying prick, but honest.Fair play to him actually addressing the Saudi human rights issues. Most managers (including our own which disappointed me) just dodged it but respect to Klopp to actually answer the question and call out the PL. These guys are all minted, they are some of the few people who are able to speak their minds with no real fear, way more should have the courage to say something.
In fairness, stones has never really let Southgate down and he’s a big one for trust of players. Also and this is only a personal opinion, i think stones has more to his game, specifically the attacking side and the potential to nick a goalYou're looking at the result instead of the process - it's still weird as feck especially given how Southgate has treated others in the same predicament in the past.
Who in the public is really talking about issues like him? Everyone is scared to become torn to pieces in social media. Not Klopp, he is so authentic. If he would be up to become world ruler, I would follow him gladly.Credit to him for speaking about issues that other managers wouldn’t want to go anywhere near (vaccines, Wahhab FC). Good man. Unhinged and crazy at times, but his heart is in the right place.
We were unbeaten in 25 games before today.They've been average for a good 18 months now.
Correct, but I haven't been impressed with any consistent performances for a long time.We were unbeaten in 25 games before today.
We’ve been the best side in the league going forward this season. Back to back 5-0 wins away from home recently.Correct, but I haven't been impressed with any consistent performances for a long time.
Salah's weekly individual brilliance was only going to take him so far.
Soundly beaten today. Only pulled two back through individual brilliance.
yeah but you didn’t play any decent sides in either of those 5-0 wins.We’ve been the best side in the league going forward this season. Back to back 5-0 wins away from home recently.
In terms of underlying stats they're doing fine. Top of the league for xG going into today, third for xGA and second only to City (who played one more game than them) for xGD.
Well we played one below average one. Agree about the other side though. I’ll let you figure out which one is which.yeah but you didn’t play any decent sides in either of those 5-0 wins.
Yeah this is an accurate assessment. We’re in trouble when Mane and Salah go to AFCON but the midfield doesn’t protect the back four very well. We’re also struggling to find an in form partner for Van Dijk as well.They're still a top team, but the biggest issue is that the core in midfield and attack are getting old, and Liverpool's owners don't spend. They've fallen behind both City and Chelsea because of that, if they bought a couple of young, quality players for their squad, they'd be right up there. Squad depth killed them last season (especially in attack), and it's continuing into this.
No but there are few better indicators of where the trophy will likely end up that you could point to. The team with the best xGD (as per statsbomb) has won the league in three of the last four years, with the exception being Liverpool who had the second best xGD that year. If they are or are near the best for those indicators all season then they likely won't have much to worry about come the season's end.Don't really get a trophy for that though
I said that 5-0 win at OT was the worse thing that could happened to them. They must have thought they were invincible after that, but it sounds strange to say, Utd created a lot of problems for them. I thought Liverpool were there for the taking that day. Wining 5-0 away to Utd papered over their cracks, which Brentford, Brighton and West Ham have exploited.Matched Man Utd's biggest ever win at Anfield, by doing the same at our ground a few weeks ago
...couldn't quite match our club record of 33 consecutive games unbeaten (or 45 if you don't count the Community Shield), 26th December 1998 to 3rd October 1999.
We also had 3 x trophies to show for it as well
Since their win at Old Trafford, Liverpool have picked up 1 point in the league, Utd have picked up 3... and we're fecking dire, and everyone knows it!
Been more humble than usual to be fair. That's not hard though.Back to moaning about the refs and decisions again
As his old club would say: you love to see it.
And United were on the longest ever unbeaten away run. Were we great?We were unbeaten in 25 games before today.
