Them and city have been my go to teams when they are drawing.
How are they raising the funds to sign the English Maldini ? I’m officially worried now.Well either way I’d prefer both teams to drop points, title race or no title race. That’s the only way we’re staying with them.
That really surprises me. Martial is allergic to goals, and effort in general. Greenwood hasn’t played really, and even Cavani has like, what 5 goals? Bruno is going to be our top scorer by a country mile isn’t he.
Yeah, that’s all fair enough. And based on our form over a prolonged period of time, it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that we match them stride for stride.
Sure they said it was only costing 2m.
They’re definitely as close as it gets to a sure thing. Odds aren’t worth it before kick off but if they’re drawing at half time or go a goal down? It’s a no brainer.
They couldn't have felt that great losing to a dramatic late goal in the derby match though
Plus I want to see Spurs squeezing the top four.I’m pretty sure in both cases, it was deliberate sabotage of our chances of the title. The pair of bitter cnuts deserve mediocrity and eventual sacking for their lack of integrity, but will still end up with pay offs
Not great no but Salah getting two has kick started his season again.
Oh I'm confident we'll come top 4 and don't see anyone keeping us from top 3.
I think if I didn’t watch every game of football and only looked at results I’d probably be less pessimistic and think we’ve got a great chance
. But honestly you watch Liverpool today and midweek and see those performances with all the players they have out, you watch city and then you watch our games and it’s like we’re playing a different sport to them. The quality is worlds apart.We lost at home to Sheffield United! I think that was a greater act of sabotage than anything those 2 did.
Bit extreme! Liverpool werent always going to draw every game, best for them to find form now with City next week then anytime for us.
The strikers are an issue. But they are also streaky, so might cram in a few goals soon enough. They need to be addressed long term. I just think we should address the table as it currently stands. We are second, so if there’s a title race then we’re in it.
Liverpool have stitched two good wins together. I watched them throughout Christmas and January and they looked fecking dreadful.I think if I didn’t watch every game of football and only looked at results I’d probably be less pessimistic and think we’ve got a great chance
It was a horrible 4/5 week period we just went through. Not the injuries, but the mental drain. Thankfully, TAA, Mane, Salah and Firmino are back on it. Normal service can hopefully be resumed (amidst and despite the ridiculous injuries).
He looked unplayable against my boys Wycombe in the cup the other week.
Tbh I'd rather Pool win, if we win our games up to next week we'll only be 3 points behind City then. We've got a 6 point gap to 5th place now so I think we'll easily make top 4, we're not favourites but I think we're capable of competing for the league. Especially since Liverpool have no defence and City have KDB injured now for 2 months.
Yeah they were shite for a few games and it was fun but it’s not just these two last games. They had some great displays earlier in the season against Leicester, Wolves, Tottenham and Arsenal. Point being they’re capable of producing excellent performances as are obviously city and for me until we get to that point it’s going to be way too hard to win the league ahead of them. We can’t keep getting jammy, luck runs out and you saw that against Sheff Utd.
I'm still enjoying how we're doing for sure.
The unfortunate thing about Liverpool's "no defence" is that it has conceded fewer goals than our actual defence. Which isn't particularly promising if we're depending on that being decisive over the rest of the season.
so we score A FEW counter goals and suddenly we‘re counter attack kings?
Mate we got only Rhys Williams as CB left on the bench and fecking Divock Origi actually on the pitch. Two players I would happily exchange for Tuanzebe and Lingard. And give them playing time.
Confidence in the fan base is definitely poor. We have no track record to fall back on, so when we have a couple of off colour games everyone thinks it’s going to pot.
Last season we barely scraped into the CL places, light years away from the champions.
True, they still don't concede as many as us but it throws the balance of their team right off - especially with Fabinho and Henderson in defence. Both help the team a lot more in midfield, especially in the transitions. It's one of the big reasons they've struggled to create as much - combined with the Robertson and TAA having to sit further back as they don't have VVD's pace to protect them if they go further forward. All in all it just makes them easier to catch for us vs last season.
Doesn't sound one of the brightest pundits does he.
Didn’t they also concede a much higher goals per game with Van Dijk this season than they have without him?
It wasn't that long ago, they were miles off the top.
I can neither confirm nor deny I am Carlton Cole.
That was massively skewed by that one Villa game in fairness.
