Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Liverpool have one of the best managers in the world, but I think they need a lot of investment before they can mount a title challenge. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 1,674 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I don't know if this presumption that Liverpool will slip up against smaller teams any more than any other contender will simply comes from a blip against Burnley that may or may not happen again but Hull certainly didn't benefit from any such tendency. Six games in and they have scored 4 or more in half of them is some going. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six games in and they have scored 4 or more in half of them is some going. It goes back further than this year, but you may well be right that they've put that tendency behind them. Time will tell. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,674 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 It goes back further than this year, but you may well be right that they've put that tendency behind them. Time will tell. The opinion of the professional pundits in England is that they are awesome in attack but sporadically suspect in defence which against lesser opposition probably wont be much of a problem overall. And given that they have barrels of money to throw at any apparent deficiency we may even see Klopp pull out a German brick wall defender or two in the next window to make them an even more formidable outfit. At this stage they arguably look like the best of the rest outside City. And speaking of City I hope they turn up in Glasgow tomorrow night looking to match the Barca tally against that lot and I feel they might be going all out because top place in their group could feasibly come down to goal difference. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,168 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 United 1 Stoke 1. How does this happen? Zillion pound team and star manager at home against tradesmen, albeit pretty competent tradesmen. Might help some of our more incredulous fans to understand Rangers' results v Accies and County. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousseau 9,372 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Only two teams have really pressed City, and both got a result -- although one was more fortunate than the other! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 9,372 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Holy S***! Arsenal have just nicked it in the 93rd minute. Not sure about the goal, though: hint of offside and/or handball? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
