What’s happened to Chelsea lately? I didn’t rate them as highly as everyone in the media did, but their form has dropped off a cliff.

Injuries up top, goals not coming from wingbacks like before.

City are better than Liverpool and they are winning the PL too consistently now in the past few years. Boring boring PL. 34 wins in the last 42 is fecking ridiculous.
How many winners in England in the last 10 years compared to the BL/Seria A/Ligue 1/La Liga

I'd say Leicester, City, Chelsea, Liverpool is more than any other league?

Yep, 5. We sneak in there too.

You forgot your own club.

I actually agree with Klopp on this, which I don't remember ever typing before. They should just crack on and play all games they safely can. If you have a two week break players will still keep catching Covid for the forseeable, so not sure it will help that much.

There's going to be horrific backlogs building otherwise and zero scope to extend the season, with the world cup next winter.
Yeah, that's true. As I said, I'm not too sure what to make of it really. Difficult situation regardless. I guess I'm not a fan of what we have at the moment, where it's a bit of both. I don't pretend to have the answers here though!

That midfield is diabolical
I haven't seen much of Morton but Keita has been better this year and Milner I guess is iffy in the energy department. Is the kid any good? Fabinho is some big boots to fill.

A few injuries and covid cases.
But more importantly they massively lack quality to compete for the win.

I reckon we have a chance of topping them when we get going.

From our pov hopefully not for a while if we need them to win the league over Liverpool
They can both piss off and start losing but realistically that won't happen. Hopefully Spurs can do something today.
Hopefully against us in March.
We need revenge
They won't lose much again midtable EPL teams, they are great at smashing small low blocks with poor quality attacking.

They might struggle against sides who are more offensive and have some quality players in attack, which has been happening in the UCL for a while.

Anyways, smashing teams you are supposed to smash it's a virtue...if you don't you don't win the league.
True they lost again Crystal Palace but they were a man down. We just need to do better and be a real competitive team to be the one that challenges them. There needs to be more threat between the top 4. We obviously need to get there to become one.

He did play well in Milan but he’s very inexperienced. Milner is there for some experience I think.

Why hasn’t anyone in the English media commented on Kane having one goal all season?

He was a bit anonymous against Milan, he did better against Porto in Matchday 5.

Probably because Kane's a media darling and captain of the national team.

Tottenham's recent record against Liverpool. From March 2013 to their latest meeting in January 2021.

Fantastic run, Spurs.

It's going to be a 1 team league until Pep leaves.
Seems so. Unfortunately the only manager to rival him is at the club with very mediocre resources. I reckon if Klopp was with us, it'd be a hell of an interesting battle, but as of right now Klopp's team just can't match that consistency

Answer bolded in your question. Or is it emboldened? Embolden? Either way.

The commentator on Sky was slagging him earlier.

When Hendrick came on he said he'd scored the same number of goals as Kane this season.

Yeah I was massively disappointed the Brighton game was called off. With the next one an evening match I can't watch, I'm going to go ages without seeing a live match:(

Our 4th, 8th and 9th choice midfielders starting today. Hopefully enough to see off spurs.
