Ole out.. disgusting start to the season..
Thanks to Leeds. They are team to watch this season.Fun game.
You were battering them in fairness.Outta the title race after 3 games. On the plus side if we keep this points rate up, we'll stay in the division.
Credit to Leeds, amazing for a team on that budget to play like that both vs City and Liverpool. Should have won today.
Let's see what happens vs Spurs first, eh?Wouldn't be surprised if we finish 8-10th this season unless something crazy happens the next few days.
Messi has ran his bollocks off since Koeman has been in charge. Matter of fact, Messi damn near ran to exhaustion when Barca had ten men. Messi could do it because is currently doing it.I'm sorry but certain players are untouchable and impossible to change to that point, that's why it never worked between Zlatan and Pep.
That's why it would never work between Bielsa and Pogba or Bielsa and the current Messi
Do Mane next!KDB as FF captain 2 weeks in a row. Thank me later.
Really odd opinion.Wouldn't be surprised if we finish 8-10th this season unless something crazy happens the next few days.
I had the same impression.Neville is desperate for City to score
Don't have Mane, I do have Salah though. Might have to do it to James if Everton keep their form up.Do Mane next!

Of course he is. He's a United fan...Neville is desperate for City to score
Pep has enormous respect for Bielsa. They are very good friends. Pep became a coach because of Bielsa.Pep is dying inside you not fooling anyone with that fake smile
First 25 and last 15 I'd say was all us. Everything in between they were better.You were battering them in fairness.
One Bamford superb chance, but the last 20-25 were all City.
And I don't know what the commentators were saying as I had it on mute, but surely could have had 1 pen
Yea. A win at home against Spurs isn't gonna change my mind much I think. There's just to many good teams that have improved since last season now. Gonna be pessimistic, and rather be happy when/if we do better this season. Unless we get Sancho (and a couple more), or all of a sudden start playing a narrow 41212 or 4222 so we can get the most out of Pogba, Bruno, Donny (and even Mata) at the same time, I'll be very surprised if we get more points than last season.Let's see what happens vs Spurs first, eh?
Yes, Everton too.Along with Everton too.
Probably with Liverpool in mind.I had the same impression.
Liveroool don’t have any “superstars” though, other than maybe Salah? Who was far from a superstar when he bought him, which is very very very rare at a big club. Can you imagine him walking into Barca & telling the likes of Messi & Griezmann they have to cover every blade of grass for 90 minutes. Wouldn’t happen.Why do I keep hearing this? Liverpool are arguably got the hardest working team in the world. Have they 'primadonnas'? Maybe not, but Klopp has been able to build, not only a very hardworking team, but a successful one too.
Don't see why Bielsa couldn't do that.
Let's see how long this lasts and besides compare to the work by any of the Leeds attackers. It's nowhere near closeMessi has ran his bollocks off since Koeman has been in charge. Matter of fact, Messi damn near ran to exhaustion when Barca had ten men. Messi could do it because is currently doing it.
I thought it was madness when a couple of pundits were predicting you 3rd and 4th, but right now it's not looking as mad.First 25 and last 15 I'd say was all us. Everything in between they were better.
We did the same vs Leicester. Should have been a couple up after half an hour, dropped a bollix for a goal and got mullered.
Difference last 15 minutes was Fernandinho in at #6, defence has some help. Funny enough the only game we've looked half decent this season for long periods was Wolves and that was Fern at 6 for the full game.
Yes but I suppose this process takes a while until you get the right players. Bielsa wants to impact his team much faster.If it doesnt work, then you get rid of them. Thats what being a manager is about. Klopp has done it.
I was watching on mute, and they seemed to have a decent shout for 3 pens or so.Surprised VAR didn’t look closer at that Sterling pen shout, and that was definitely a red.
No, not Mane, he has Covid, so not playing. Salah or VVD maybe?Do Mane next!
Bielsa is a complete nutcase, but in terms of football knowledge and tactics he's an absolute genius.He's a nutcase.
Well, no, but that's not how you manage the stamina of +30 players. If your best player is that age, and has to play game-in, game-out, it's silly to have him running on and off the ball aggressively for long periods of the game. That's why Rakitic played behind Messi on that right, because tactically his energy permitted Messi to conserve energy for offensive moves.Let's see how long this lasts and besides compare to the work by any of the Leeds attackers. It's nowhere near close
Wouldn't work here, Ed can't get rid of anyone.If it doesnt work, then you get rid of them. Thats what being a manager is about. Klopp has done it.
Every game is the same, look great at the start, if we don't put ourselves out of sight, we'll concede something stupid and then lose our nerve. I think we'll be fine and easily qualify for CL (likely 2nd) with Kun back but by the time he's back we'll be out of the title race if Liverpool stay relentless. Even though we got trashed 2nd half vs Leicester, with Kun I think we'd be at least another goal up before the mental breakdown for the pen and we'd have won today. Big concern is he clearly can't play 30 games after he comes back so we need a plan B to actually put teams away.I thought it was madness when a couple of pundits were predicting you 3rd and 4th, but right now it's not looking as mad.
It surely has to be Pep's last year this year.
You'll probably win the league cup and maybe that's it.
That's an awful way of running a football club.If it doesnt work, then you get rid of them. Thats what being a manager is about. Klopp has done it.
Don't play them then!Liveroool don’t have any “superstars” though, other than maybe Salah? Who was far from a superstar when he bought him, which is very very very rare at a big club.
