    I assume this is a joke?. It is 2021! I really appreciate the female commentary and hosting on sky. It is a game for everyone.

    The women commentators and pundits should stick to women’s football.

    Genuinely can’t stand it.

    Same here- wife’s a big football fan and even she says they shouldn’t be doing it. But then Mica Richards and Steve McManaman are both useless too.

    That puts all of your previous posts in context.

    Liverpool a bit lack lustre at the mo. Sad to see a red, makes for an interesting league though.

    Arsenal are looking a little better, thank god Willian got injured which forced Arteta to drop him and Smith Rowe has really taken his opportunity. We look good with Rowe, Saka, and Martenelli playing, all young and full of spirit with lots of natural talent.

    Ozil has finally left which will free up money, now we just have Willian on a huge 3-year contract to deal with, really makes you wonder who approves some of these stupid deals.

    Watched the second half yesterday

    Smith Rowe did really nicely for his first assist

    Should’ve teed up Aubameyang with a simpler opportunity though

    Love Tierney…. He’s come really good for you

    You completely steam rollered NUFC that second half

    Things looking up

    Always wary of judging players too soon...some just step into the Premier League like they have always played there, and some take a good season or so to adjust.

    Who was the person impersonating Steve Bruce on the touchline last night? - Carroll, Joelinton, Almiron and Wilson on at the same time, can't be Brucie "having a go"......back to a flat back 6 for the next game mind..

    Pleased with Arsenal's win on monday night however we were playing a Championship-level side. Encouraged about the future with the young lads in the team and apparently more coming through.

    Chelsea spent too much money buying people and it has lost him the motivation of the young players. Last season the young players all did very well and as a reward, they all got benched when Chelsea spent £200+mil on new players. They should have saved the money and kept playing the kids

    Crazy league this year.

    Empty grounds must be having massive impact on results. It’s going to be one of the the most interesting season for the top 4 spots this season.

    Liverpool, City, Leicester..... Everton ? United ? Spurs ?

    Could be any mix of those 6 at the minute everyone struggling for consistency this year.

    I put it on here that I thought you’d win it from early season form…. I retract that statement

    You were really poor (but you don’t need me to tell you that)

    Maybe a blip? A return in confidence will serve you well…

    We need a good sorting and if truth known maybe a change of manager possibly Frank needed that time in a lower league before the move ? i reckon Emma Hayes should move from the ladies rather successful team.
    As an aside Leicester are surprising me this season and playing some nice attacking football.

    West Ham are going really well and are a pleasure to watch.

    David Moyes has injected a good bit of steel into them and it's working wonders.

    Still looking for another striker though now that Haller has gone. Moyes has been very astute in the transfer market so far so looking forward to seeing who he picks up.
    Cheers,
    Neil.

    I think Leicester will be better than nicking a place, Brendan is a great coach and has the team playing lovely attacking football. Leicester definitely a top 3 spot, Utd aren’t good enough to win it, Spurs throw away too many leads, Man City are starting to purr and fingers very firmly crossed the Scouse crash & burn.

    My only concern with leicester is injuries. Hard to go for a full season without needing the squad. 1-11 they’re as good as anyone maybe bar City.

    As a liverpool fan, I can see a wild card this year. Hopefully that’s Leicester. Just hope Man U are not that wild card

    Honestly this is fallacy

    Look at the team that started our season

    None of the following

    Evans
    Soyuncu
    Parriera
    Ndidi
    Maddison

    We have some very good cover too

    Praet
    Justin James
    Mendy
    Amartey
    And 3 first class centre backs that would walk into most PL teams and only 2 spots

    Vardy is key though

    I'd still return Maguire to you and take Evans back, although Maguire has improved lately as have Shaw and Bailly.

    You can’t have Soyuncu or Fofana either !

    Good buys, three decent defenders, what for? £50-£60m?

    I’ve done myself when I said City have been dreadful. City won every game since abs Liverpool on the worst run of form in 5 years.

    Absolute classic.

    Possibly also when you said you couldn't see anything else other than a Liverpool title win earlier this month.

    Also, the injury list thing...it's just one of those things. Very bad luck on VVD I will say, (and frankly Pickford needs jailing for assault) but that's what a season after season title winning squad is built for.

    If you remember the 80s your squad then would have coped with the loss of a couple of key players.

  39. #589
    This season still has plenty more twists and turns. De Bruyne now out 4-6 weeks, Aguero with COVID. Although rumours VVD could be back before end of season will boost Liverpool.

    The sheer number of games will benefit the stronger squads but momentum is key. Any one from Liverpool, City, United, Spurs or Leicester could win. Less sure about Chelsea.

    Evans - £3m (deal of the decade?)
    Soyuncu - £22m
    Fofana - £30m

    I suspect if we sold that latter two in a year or two we’d be looking at £140m+?

    Possibly the strongest trio of defenders in the league?

    It hasn’t been a couple we had to most players injured in premiership history this year ;

    VVD
    Alison
    Jota
    Trent
    Gomez
    Matip
    Keita
    Ox
    Thiago
    Henderson
    Milner
    Fabinho
    Salah
    Mane

    The amount of injuries the last couple of months have been mental for Liverpool.

    We’ve hardly had a player injured in the last 4 season before this ( matip and keita aside ).

    Erm...That's just a list of players that have missed at least a game through injury this season. It's hardly like they've all missed all of the season.

    It happens.

    And the injury free period you refer to before is highly unusual. I think you'd agree that it helped your results.

    I'm a toffee and I sympathise with Liverpool, partly because our guys caused a few long term injuries in the early derby match.

    Retaining anything is always difficult and even last season City fell away a little, but I'm sure once key players are back Liverpool will be there or there abouts.

    A great season for the neutral with Everton, Spurs, Liverpool, Southampton, Man U and Leicester all topping the table at some point, but I have to say that I think City have their mojo back and look the team to beat and at present are my tip for the PL.

    As a neutral I would love Leicester to win it again, anyone but United will do...

    Lol. You have nothing to worry about until the defence gets sorted.

    You aren't too far behind your neighbours are you?

    We are doing great compared to most seasons, but I would rather win the Carabo or FA Cup rather than qualifying for Europe. I appreciated that Carlo put a strong team out against United in the Carabo Cup but we looked second best. Being honest, we will never win the PL, so why not put your best team out in the FA Cup and go for that. Problem is you are always going to come up against a top team later in the competition.

    As a traditional Blue, I'm still waiting for 40 points, then we can think about the rest of the season from there on. But looking good...

  47. #597
    Vardy out for a few weeks with hernia, De Bruyne out along with Aguero. This title race will go to the last couple of weeks of season.
    If you want to challenge for trophies you need strength in depth, something I think Klopp will realise after this season. Liverpool have some amazing talent but need quality back up. City have been without a striker for almost the entire season and have had their own injury/COVID absences but have climbed to second thanks to a substitutes bench that would start every game in most other teams, not to mention the Stones/Dias partnership.

    Not far off what Leicester have endured

    Evans
    Castagne
    Pererai
    Soyuncu
    Maddison
    Ndidi
    Amartey
    Vardy

    Apropos of not your post above (it just reminded me), after years thinking BR was essentially a shiny toothed narcissist, I'm coming round to the idea that he is or has become a half decent coach.
