He does ramble on a lot, but listening to Owen talk about forward craft (specifically Bobby killing the ball dead to poke it home) is a great listen. 

When he gets on to the technical aspects of forward play he is good value. One of the very few pundits who occasionally point out things that actually enhance your understanding of what has occurred ( A shame we don't have as many of them as the cricket )

[Em City]

That does it, we're the best team on the planet.

[Davelfc]

What a classless bunch of pricks some of those Leicester fans are. Singing that they're going to win the league a few weeks ago, then walking out after we score our second. How quickly they forget where they came from. 

 

And these pundits can fuck off with their claiming we've won the league, a long way to go. Glad to see Klopp dismiss them. 

[TheHowieLama]

Rhymes with Schmester

We've not won the League, but we will have to break records not to win it.

 

I'm going to try to enjoy this from now on.

 

That performance tonight was Notts Forest 1987/88ish.

I'm starting to see a pattern in most football coverage. The commentary team during the match are in no doubt: their job is just to describe what's happening in front of them. The studio pundits have to fill airtime with something; if there really is controversy, discuss that; if there isn't, invent some. 

They are there to try and keep the viewer interested. Sometimes that must be nigh on impossible when one team is 4 goals up and if the competition is over, they will employ other avenues to generate interest. 

 

Unfortunately as former footballers, this is never going to be their strong point as their brains are not wired for small talk and intrigue. Either the commentator should be driving those conversations or they shouldn't be done.

That was a fantastic display fresh off the back of the trip to Qatar. A bit more ruthlessness with our finishing was about the only aspect of our game that wasn't quite up to scratch, but that can and will be improved upon.

[easytoslip]

Enjoy a great team, there’s something going on, Wolves next and Sheff Utd so 6 of the best from those two tough games I might think we’ve got a chance.

Plus ça change, as washed-up strikers are wont to say:

That was immense. Kept thinking Leicester will have a spell. Didn’t really happen. Blew them away. 
 

best performance of the season. Slap bang in the middle of a silly number of games in December. Klopp is a genius, he might be the second coming. It’s outrageous. I’m running out of superlatives. 
 

fuck.

Good as my word.

Wait for it...

I wonder if Rodgers looked up from writing the sequel to War and Peace and said "Oh fuck have we lost?"

Dont know how you could only give Gomez just a 7, he was every bit as equal as Virgil tonight. And Alisson deserved an 8 Id say for being assured behind a very good back 4 tonight.

[Colt Seavers]

I'm not sure if I'm getting carried away but that performance has to rival the 5-0 Forest we were pretty much perfect.

Milner on the pen was class all the mind games and he was cool as ice and I'm sure he changed his mind once he saw the keeper move

*These are the views of a pissed up Colt
