The women commentators and pundits should stick to women’s football.
Genuinely can’t stand it.
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.
Well i reckon tonight is a big one for my club CFC against a excellent Leicester side by no means a season decider but i hope to see a step from our previous performances.Is Werner our new Torres?

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..
I was expecting this Frank Lampard the conductor who has the LSO. and gets a one man band cannot see him lasting much longer no set line up no first team and no idea great shame but IMO not up to the job just another legend destined for the management scrap heap but as with the others there is always a pundits job.

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.
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.
Man City will win the league at a canter on current form.

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’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.
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.
Still don't think United have a shot. Too easy to score against.
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...
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.
100% agree
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.
