You really still think Liverpool can win the title? How fucking drunk are you?

If he does I wholeheartedly agree, we can definitely win title of second placed team

He’s probably already on thin ice given that club and their patience with managers. Poor run of results given the array of talent he has. 

I've heard they've had some injuries. You have to wonder whether Tommy T. has been backed with sufficient squad depth from Papa Roman. Maybe they should spend a bit more.

[angie]

Just seen the Chelsea result and can hardly celebrate but fuck Chelsea. Always fuck Chelsea, Hope Brentford can take something from the floyd mayweather of football now however unlikely. 

[Josef Svejk]

I'm obviously missing a thriller... 

 

 

[LFC 6 Times]

Pep playing to the fucking cameras, imagine if he didn’t have half a billion to put on off the bench that silly cunt.

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Not everyone is aware that Jack Grealish is actually a world record holder, having throughout his career been injured 57 times on average per 90 minutes of football he’s played. This without ever having to leave the field because if injury.

[Mark M]

Wonder how long it will take City to take the lead against Arsenal at the weekend -

im going for inside 9 minutes.

 

[Torvald Utne]

The last 4 free kicks to city have all been dives, Grealish obviously making a telling contribution in training 

 

And there it is, a goal directly from a foden dive

Now the lego head lover is down with covid I think Guardiola will hand him a point. Just for old times sake.

We've only ourselves to blame for only getting a point when we played there and but for a lino's flag, would have lost 4-3. At 3-2 to us I said we should have put Nat on and gone 3 at the back because Matip and van Dijk were all over the place and being split by the high ball.

 

Brighton at Anfield was just weird. Again, the Brighton players didnt complain about Sadio's goal, they all blamed the keeper. That goal stands and we win that game because Brighton arent putting 3 past us.

[niallers]

All over. Even if we beat them at theirs, they'll have enough of a cushion to win. 10 points minimum. It's not being defeatist or giving up bla bla bla. 

City have everyone in the top 8 to play at theirs in the second half of the season. They'll be at least 10 clear before we play next. Even with games in hand, that's a huge task. 

We'll keep going and supporting as per usual. Given the gap between 4th and us, we should be able to really have a go at the fa Cup and Europe.

Some job Potter is doing at Brighton. Compare the two sets of players. Brighton were without their two best defenders too. They had no right to be playing as well as they did against the European champions. 

[Jairzinho]

Won one of their last 14 games.

G-(S)pott has out-tacticed Tommy T.

Heh football. My eyes did not deceive me last night when I saw Schmeichel move his right foot off the line and start his dive to the right before Mo’s foot hit the ball for the spot kick. Yes it was a split second but yes he moved before the kick was taken. No complaints from ref or VAR. I am aware that probably most goalkeepers are moving prematurely these days, but wtf are the rules? A retake there and a different game. It’s the little things.

I said this in the match thread as well! How VAR didnt check it or if they did and ignore it heaven only knows. The only time a retake shouldnt be ordered in these circumstances is when the striker misses the goal. If the keeper saves it, it should be a retake.

[Caramac]

Aye, it was pretty blatant.

 

[Arnaud]

Totally spot on but this is a ridiculous law, it’s almost impossible to stop a well taken penalty. Salah’s effort was poor.

Or yano use the useless keeper moving early to your advantage and tap it in anywhere.

Yeah what a couple of weeks for them.

 

Both their challengers falling by wayside and just in case there was a few smouldering embers of a challenge remaining they face each other next....after Man City have played again to put some more pts on board.

 

Just unreal.

They’re relentless unfortunately. Never seen anything like it.

Stating the obvious, I know but, city have out spent chelsea who were the previous high spenders before city won the lottery.

 

city have paid £100m for a player. I remember when they paid £3m for Steve Daley but that's a different time. That's the thick end of £25m more than we've ever paid for a player. Put another way, it's like us paying £25m for someone and them paying £50m.

 

They have a host of £50m+ players on their books. Even those that cost them £35m to £40m were not cheap buys at the time.

 

I get some people whinge at our owners not spending a minimum £50m or more on every player. The issue here isnt our owners or the way they run the club which for the record, I think is astounding, it is city's absolute spending power and yet they frequently spout 'sporting integrity'! Oh, and fucking abysmal reffing in the PL doesnt help.

Not a red this.

 

Wow...just wow.

To anybody with basic cognitive function it's obviously a function of both. FSG and City Football Group are both cunts, just both a different flavour of cunt.

[Colonel Bumcunt]

The last thing city need is help from refs.  So when blatant dives go unpunished, and snide blocks against counter attacks go unbooked, it really is a bit of a farce. 

 

That said, at some point Klopp needs to admit that Silva, Foden, DeBruyne, Grealish, Gundogan are much better than Jones, Elliott, Ox, Hendo, Keita.
