The guy is obviously one of those cup massively empty posters!
Who wouldn't have taken not losing ground on Liverpool looking at the two team's fixtures!

Who wouldn't have taken not losing ground on Liverpool looking at the two team's fixtures!
"They just try and defend and constantly try and stop us scoring. It's not on. We're not allowed the privilege of 2000 fans in for that"
The first 3 games being a write off and playing 1 game less until half way through the season is a pretty big disadvantage ffsWhat disadvantage is that? Thats like saying "damn man, if only we won every game we would be top, feck our luck"
Great achievement by Liverpool that.
Never seen this before, brilliant
@FootballHQ Win both of your games in hand and you're one point off top!
Tbf Fergie came up with hilarious stuff after draws / losses where almost every rival fan and probably even some United fans wondered if he was drunk. Whereas in reality Fergie was just protecting his players and couldn’t care less what others were thinking.
The busy period, West Broms ten man defence. West Brom only looking to score from set pieces. Blah blah blah..
Diddums.
Id put you on the other end of the scale. You had EL qualifiers that you used as a flash pre season that the rest of us didnt have.
Wow! I didn't see that result coming at all. Props to the two Sams.This and the Fulham result show that while they're still favorites, Liverpool are not the consistent side that'll run away with the title yet. That point at Leicester looks much better now.
Much depends on Klopp's tactical approach, his general 'keep a high-backline and press high up the pitch' strategy is dangerous against a team who are effective on the counter and possess pacy strikers, which is United to a tee under Ole.
He may have to change his approach, but I doubt he will.
Yeah but, we have fecking Jose, we need something surely *immediately regrets my sarcastic remark".
A action-packed tiring match next, please.
That’s brilliant
Like what
Bend the knee
Liverpool only had 2 shots on target didn't they? West Brom had the best chances!
"Our keeper only had to make one save, one. Here. Against.. liverpool. They're top. We're bottom. Cmon Now"
Big Sam taking the piss out of them
Big Sam taking the piss out of them
Yes.
It's madness that we're in this position given how poorly we started the season but here we are.
You know what, crazier things have happened than us pipping Liverpool to the title in the very same year they looked odds-on to equal our record.
Oh, how great it would be
Neves, Coady and Neto all getting sent off wouldn’t be half pleasing.
Should that not happen, a Wolves win over Spurs would suffice

Hasn't he played a Merseyside derby versus Big Sam? That stint where Big Sam left Everton and they had some awful stat like 20th in the league for shots and averaging less than a goal or game or something...no idea he was going to be defensive though.
Remember that time we played them and had about 4 injuries in the first 20mins - with Rashford basically dead weight for 70mins?
Klopp moaned in the interview after that our injuries disrupted them!
He has done it many many times. Can’t be bothered to check quotes really. But blaming the Bayern players for Rafael’s sending off comes to mind immediately.
I don't think anyone in the country thought they'd score a goal! Amazing from the Brom.
I wouldn't mind that at all. Although, I'd be delighted to see Wolves get a win!
That was correct though
Better than this one?Great achievement by Liverpool that.
I wouldn't mind but they only earned a corner!
I knew
just 3 more matches to go for a nice present.But when you lead twice and drop points it’s a disappointing result.
I get why he does it. Some of his excuses are BS but he tries not to get on his players backs excessively in public.
He’s never been a good loser.
Is this the first time Jose has gone with 3/5 at the back this season?
No I get that but it's literally every time. Do you not just yearn for him to say it how it is now and again and not act like a spoilt brat? I think this is where he gets it wrong. Fergie would protect his players but would also give credit where it's due and if necessary call players out.
You can't constantly moan and whinge as you lose credibility. That's why he ended up in that uncomfortable argument the other week with Des Kelly.
Not a disappointing result overall, but given the context of the game a little frustrating.
Fergie was very smart when faced with the rugby type teams like Pulis Stoke.
Always praising them and making sure there was no extra incentive for them to do us.
Compare that to the whinger Wenger and you could see Stoke always upped their game against them.
I wonder if Jose expected Wolves to play a back 5.
Probably Reguilon a bit forward, mindful of Traore.
Didn't watch the West Brom match, but just saw the stats. Excellent
He did say that we weren’t putting enough work in during the second half tbf.
