Wonder if Liverpool's leaky backline might start to cost them as the season goes on. Obviously they're scoring for fun to cover up for it at the minute but if Salah goes off the boil they might be in bother. Hope so.

 

 

Think they are winning the title by default, the gap at the top is getting too big.

:lol: Nah, was at work following it on BBC text. I’d written off Dec and Jan tbh, the Man U result was a nice surprise.

How long do you think it will be before they sack Ange and bring in Thomas Frank ?

Is he wrong there? :lol: they're missing some pretty important players defensive players. 

Think it's more that there was nothing wrong with what the reporter said for him to react like he was being underhanded with the question.

Also has to be mentioned that the interviewer said in the question 'so do you put that down to the fact you're so short of your first choice defence really' - He literally gave Ange an out in the question, then Ange was a bit of a dick to him.

:lol: what a fucking whingebag

 

we played several games last season (including CL) missing our first choice GK, CBs, and LB. Eddie never went on like a total prat about it.

 

Your fanbase did though.

Yeah but he has a name that people like saying so it’s ignored

Seems to be a trend with these 'phliosphy' managers at the moment that won't deviate away at all from their way of playing even if it's clearly costing the side.

 

The amount of sides playing either crazy high lines or trying to play it out from the back when they don't have the players to do so seems at an all time high. Reminiscent of the Bundesliga a few years ago when every side tried to just manically press and ship loads of goals each week :lol:

Perfectly valid question tbh, if he's got that many injuries then perhaps adjusting a few things to mitigate it is probably the right thing to do. Giving his defence a bit more cover is just good management even if it takes away from the play going forward. Just saying 'we're going to be open as fuck and bomb on for 90 minutes' regardless of opposition, venue or scoreline is clearly thick as fuck. Might be entertaining for the neutral but it's not very pragmatic. You play the hand you're dealt and tweak things to give yourself the best chance of getting the best results possible with the players that are fit. He's showing himself up on and off the pitch atm

I don’t understand how people fell for it. As soon as you came in, it was impossible not to see how it would turn out.
