The Premier League Thread

[zzeezzy]

Yeah, I'm being facetious but that's down to nobody seeing you as a serious threat for the top 4 the remainder of this year

the Europa League really is for best bet irrespective of the current table. And you've not looked threatening all season there.

So let me get this straight, we're not a threat to the top 4 even though we're 2 points off and have the Premier Leagues top goalscorer in Zlatan. Just to remind you, your not in the top 4 either, so pushing your weight when being 5th is pretty silly.

Secondly, we're not a threat in Europa, or going by your words we're not seen as threatening there all season. (Doesn't make sense). Even though we've just walloped a team 4-0 on aggergate and are the highest reputation team left in the competition.

No offence but I think we can tell by you having to say this every day to convince yourself, that we are actually a big threat under Mourinho.

As usually zz, you completely miss the point of anything that's posted. (Or just completely ignore because it doesn't fit your own opinion.).

But have at it man.

What was the point of that post? You make a similar one every day and it's the usual dig and 'your not seen threatening'. There is nothing more to your post, don't pretend there is.

Of course there isn't. Because it doesn't fir your ideal. You don't like to acknowledge anything outside of the here and now. The table says Utd are only 2 points outside the top 4 sos that's all that matters, Regardless of the context of a 16 game run that's not seen you move out of 6th/ seen you draw almost as many games as you've won/ seen you struggle to score and has you looking at the worst run-in of any side around you being as you've only played three top 6 sides this run and only beaten one of them. This is not a Utd side that strikes fear into you. Ferguson's sides did across the board. This one, not so much. Next year, you may well be starting clear favourites if you add that fear as is being widely reported. Right now, not so much.

But you keep telling yourself you're viewed as a serious threat if it helps.


On the plus side back in reality, the biggest plus for United tonight was the best side the competition just crashing out Donestk. That's really opened it up.

I'd rather be 6th and in the cups than 5th and fighting for just top 4. #Justsaying

Nah. I'm leaving it there. His only answer is to try flip it round that I'm worried whilst completely ignoring anything that's said so I can't be arsed going at it with him.

He's free to have at it. His clubs cemented 6th place for the past how ever many months does all the talking that there needs to be on the subject.

Scouse you are so sour and bitter over us it's so blaintely obvious, in the last 3 posts on this thread you've literally just repeated yourself on your 'United not threatening' cliche.

 

[ninjaskill]

If United in some very good form and two points off the top four aren't a threat then I don't see how a Liverpool side with one league win this year can be seen as a threat for it when they are only one point closer

..that's down to nobody seeing you as a serious threat for the top 4 the remainder of this year outside you lads...

And alternatively, I don't think anybody has definitively ruled United out of a top 4 place bar you tbh, not from any other rival fans I've spoke to, any pundits I've listened to (not that it means much, but they're usually keen to jump on the anti United wagon, so it means a tiny bit when they they swallow their pride and back them to push on and possibly even finish 2nd, not that I agree with that high of a ceiling), any articles I've read, or not even from anyone else on this forum.

As for the run in's, it's not the only phase that you gain and lose points. 4 of Liverpool's next 5 fixtures read; Leicester (who could respond), Arsenal, Manchester City & the Merseyside derby, 4 of our 5 next fixtures read; Bournemouth, Middlesbrough, West Brom and Sunderland. If we leapfrog you and possibly Arsenal in this little block of fixtures, then don't be so certain.

The converting of chances hasn't really nerved me much lately, starting to put them away now. 11 goals in our last 5 in all competitions compared to Liverpool's 4. I think the penny has dropped and Mourinho realised that 4-2-3-1 is the way to go in most games, attacking players score goals, goals win games. Mkhitaryan playing off Ibra has added so much more, don't think his 'injury' will keep him out long, if at all.

But you're entitled to your opinion.

Which is sound. Not going to argue that from that standpoint. Except I wasn't discussing L'pool with him.

But hey, apparently as a fan of the most successful club in England I'm 'sour and bitter' at the second most successful.

I don't even know where to begin with that logic but hey ho. I did tell him to 'have at it.'

Just put it away already Scouse.

Lets just end it there. We both have 41, although we'll overtake you this season if we win one trophy, as your not in any to win.

 

[zzeezzy]

Sunday will be a great day for me to say to Scouse, (if we beat Southampton), good night Liverpool, your not on the perch of being joint top club in England.

 

[Scouseinthehouse]

*44-43 but don't let the actual numbers ruin a good story.

 

[Tyton]

Trophy cabinets may be similar, but Liverpool will always be the more prestigious club. They've had Rush and Grobbelaar, and there's nothing more prestigious than men with moustaches.

It's coming out on Sky Sports News now that the Leicester City players went straight to the Leicester board after they lost to Sevilla, to say they were not happy with Ranieri. I suspect any neutral fans who had an ounce of sympathy for them-including me-now couldn't give a **** what happens to them now.

To see some of them already saying who they want as the next manager is incredible.

You're a point outside of the relegation zone. You've just got a fella' who performed an absolute miracle last season in getting your average group of arses to play WELL above yourselves collectively in arguably the biggest upset English football has ever seen to win you a title and bring you massive pay rises none of you could ever of dreamt about, let alone had in any other normal reality, disgracefully sacked.

And you have the absolute gall to be talking about who YOU want to replace him less than 24 hours later?

Modern day footballers. Seriously.
