If Carlsberg did perfect Sundays ….. Meh, they don’t need to. We have Slots Mighty Reds to take care of that! Even getting drenched on what still was a really muggy day couldn’t stop you bouncing into the International break.

Title Countdown:
3 wins down/ 26 to go.
9 points down/ 83 to go.
Current PL unbeaten run:
P 7 W 5 D 2 F 18 A 7 CS: 4
4 Straight Wins/ 4 Straight CS.
Current unbeaten away PL run:
P 4 W 2 D 2 F 10 A 5 CS: 2
2 Straight Wins/ 2 Straight CS.
The first three games couldn’t have gone much better could they? Arne, following an absolute living, all-time Liverpool legend, wins them all. Without conceding a goal. And putting the Old Trafford hoodoo FIRMLY to bed. Utterly mad isn’t it that out of promoted Ipswich, little Brentford, and Manchester United, away; Utd would be by far and away the easiest? Ipswich were buoyed off the momentum of promotion at a fervent Portman Road. They just ran out of steam. Brentford were as well organised as ever and showed they’ll be nowhere near a threat to go down. But they were nowhere near a match for this rapidly evolving gang of Reds. Manchester United continue to be an utter shambles from back to front. Everton gave us great hilarity Sat’day. But Gods honest, its hard to say these are any better.
I didn’t think L’pool was that great. But we didn’t have to be. Second gear was all it took to easily dispatch of Utd’s mess in a scoreline that flattered them massively. That should have been 5/6/7 again had we really been on it. Proper mad, and telling just how poor a coach ten Hag is, that Slot, in 4 short months, has completely changed our identity. Whilst, in year 3, Utd STILL don’t have one! He seems to want to play out from the back ….. With a goalkeeper and defenders who are utter **** on the ball and panic when under pressure. (Martinez the ‘Butcher?’ Pat Butcher would be more scary!). He seems to want to play through midfield ….. When they don’t have a midfield to play through! More its P easy for the opposition to play right through them. He seems to want to get it forward quick ….. Sound, they have quick lads up front. But absolutely NO CF fulcrum with wingers who continue to make P poor decisions. Absolutely NOTHING has changed from last year bar more mediocrity being added. (Not hard to see why nobody was interested in de Ligt going so cheap on the market aye?). Just a really poorly coached, poor quality assembled shambles that rely on the few individual quality players they do have to flat-track bully the lesser sides.
But enough of that shower. They aren’t our business and won’t be for years to come.
I’ve mentioned often on these here pages how there’s often a massive disconnect on whats posted on-line. And the thoughts of actual supporters at the match. And yesterday hammered it home again. The overriding talk pre-match was that many would have liked at least one more this window. (With the Basque being the main protagonist as to that happening if he’d been honest.). But there was absolutely NO talk of protesting against Fenway/ them letting us down this window and needing to go et al. Just the rationale of L’pool already having as good a squad, if not better, than anyone else to start with. And the Chiesa signing having most absolutely buzzing over the past week. I absolutely loved, yet again, that Ryan was the best player on the park. As his partnership with Macca continues to flourish in the ‘one sits/ one goes, one goes/ one sits old school’ double pivot that is negating any need for an old school 6 by the passing game. United unveiled Ugarte before KO. He’d have been sound for Jurgen when we played with a single 6 to sit and protect. He’d be neither use nor ornament in Slots system having to progress the ball forward and break lines. Would another playmaking 6 be a useful addition? Absolutely no question. But its not the be all and end all. Amd most certainly doesn’t weaken the top notch group we have. We FULLY believe we have the squad to win the league once more. Soz abar you if you don’t and just want to nark about a transfer window.
Hard to really critique the Reds yesterday as Utd were SO poor. Bar a few shocking misses aside (I am looking squarely at YOU Dominic!
), ruthlessly efficient would beat describe us as we totally schooled Utd without being anywhere near our best. Mad to think there’s still LEVELS to go when you are joint top and already deeply embroiled in the highest of quality title races with City again.
Brilliant day out that doesn’t come much better. Is it Forest already?
*Sings …..
‘Na na,, na na, na na, na na, na na, na, ten Hags at the wheel, at the wheel. ten Hags at the WHEEL!!!!!’
Up the perfect Reds!

.). Whilst we both say goodbye to the old, and welcome in the new. First time we get to fully pay our respects to Big Ron. God rest. 
And, 
from back to front. And the HC was little better. Just one of them where every single player had a collective off-day. Made more annoying as it came at the hands of those scab btards from Nottingham. Fair F’s to Forest. Nuno came with a game-plan and they executed it to perfection. The absolutely inept Oliver helped them facilitate that with some abysmal officiating allowing the time wasting and blatant fouling/ diving at their leisure. But the side that won deserved to win. And the side that didn’t, rightfully lost. Nottin’ good at all to take from that S so we move on.
