This man ...... He's the clearest political orator in the Country who talks more common sense than all of the Politicians put together.

On vaccine intake, he's just absolutely nailed it! AGAIN!


Up the fully vaccinated and able to go to the match Reds!

Do PL games, in terms of National significance, get ANY bigger today than L’pool- City? The two best teams in Europe IMHO.

This is one of only 3 teams I’m never 100% confident of beating. City for what the are. The only team remotely on our level. And Utd and the Ev. Who are both nowhere near our elite level but always raise their game against us like no other. The arl rivalry motivation which you can never understate.

So I’ll leave it that I’m cautiously optimistic, without predicting. And hope for an absolute barnstormer that could well go a LONG way to deciding who’s first and who’s second come May IMHO.

One things for sure. Anfield will be at her wildest best later this avvy for should be another belter.

Can

Not

WAIT!!!!!
 
Great game of footie. Ngl really bummed we didnt take all three. Millie was targeted as expected. I know scouse might not agree but Jota is not good enough to play upfront for me. Great goalscorer but not good enough or strong enough on the ball at the highest level for me.
 
Mo Salah is a genuine Ballon D’or Level player. Still cant believe Chelsea somehow let both him and De Bruyne go!!!

Jota had no supply. The midfield was conpletey non-existent all game. Harsh lesson that for Curtis but a really positive development one.
 
I still don't understand the **** that Milner gets away with. He should of been sent off just like in the Palace match.
 
Outstanding match. Bernardo Silva making the Liverpool midfield and back line look like a bunch of clowns and then Mo Salah doing the same to Man City. Quality stuff and I am sure made a lot more fans of the EPL.
 
Right, back in the house. If a tad worse for wear.

I think I need to watch MOTD for the first time in forever before I comment on the game as I didn't think it was that great a spectacle live. Some stupendous goals aside. More mistake-filled than anything.

But obviously folk have gotten a completely different perspective off the screen so I'll make a brew and watch the highlights to review.
 
Ok, now I’ve had a few brews and sobered up a bit, today’s business-

Title countdown-
4 wins down/ 26 to go.
15 Points down/ 80 to go.

Current unbeaten League Run-
17 Games: (W 12 D 5 F 38 A 12 CS: 9.).

I could sit here and bemoan surrendering a lead twice. I could question just how we came out SO flat in the first half and gave one of the best sides in World football all day and areas as gapingly wide a radius as the Mersey to play and pick us apart unchallenged. I could bemoan some questionable managerial decisions allied to some really poor performances. (Was there ANYONE playing in midfield for L’pool today?) …..

But when the top two teams in World football go toe-to-toe and produce such a spectacle of elite-level football that was on display in that second 45 minutes, it’s quite frankly utterly churlish to nark about anything. And that’s without even getting into the stupendous goals from both sides. With Mo’s among the best, I swear down, I’ve EVER seen. And man have we scored some all-time great goals over the years.

You just have to tip your hat and acknowledge the beautiful game was the winner today. Two exceptionally talented, but wholly different teams. You just have to sit back and enjoy the football from both.

BTW, over the past 4 seasons, we have amassed 280 points to City’s 279. Numbers that are beyond phenomenal. If there have EVER been two teams in England playing on such an absurd, other Worldly level and pushing each other to unheard-of heights over a 4-year period, home and abroad, I’d like to know of them? So to get down and nark at going toe-to-toe with our equal and the game ending all square would be utterly futile and no less follish.

The main thing of all things is we’ve come out of the second batch of games to the second International break as we did the first. One point clear of City at the top the league. And if we stay one point clear of them all season, we’ll be celebrating a 20th English top division title. I have NO doubt about that.

And a nod to City for respecting and participating in a super tribute to our best ever # 8. I hope we did you proud Sir Roger.

So their endeth an excellent second group of games with L’pool the only unbeaten aide still in the league.’Technically’ a point out of first but as I personally only consider City as the team to finish in front of, a point clear at the top. Clear top of the CL group. And through in the LC. 17 unbeaten in the league and 19 unbeaten in all comps.

This gang of Reds are one ****** OUTSTANDING football team yanno’ …..

Roll on Watford after the break.

Up the 19 not out Reds!

How you going to get 95 when you only have 15 after 7 matches? You still have to play Everton twice, Man Utd twice, and play Chelsea and City again. Plus the odd slip that is going to happen like Brentford.

I mean we are unbeaten and are integrating players who have been out for yonks into a side that has looked unjointed because of this for a year. Its not all doom and gloom.

Agree midfield was pushed back far to much to my liking heck you could throw a blanket over the entire team we had no outball and had Salah playing right-back that was how good City press was. 2nd half was much better but in the case of Jota ill hold my hands up if I'm wrong but from what I've seen for a year he is a good player don't get me wrong but he is much better coming off the left for me. Not strong enough to play up top and although he has improved his pressing (Still a bit headless chicken sometimes) he regularly messes up the simple pass and his link-up play quite frankly is poor. Right now I don't think long-term he is the player to phase out the front three. Great goalscorer who comes alive in the box but at the highest level that is not enough.

Because ourselves and City have consistently shown we are capable of those crazy numbers?

As utterly mad as it is, 95 points is the average over the last 5 seasons to win the PL.

Thats the ridiculous, absurd level’s City and L’pool have raised the bar to.

It might not take so many this year. But thats what you need to be aiming for now. Anythng leas than 90 with these two going head-to-head and you probably aren’t even in the title conversation.
