Incredible to have got through at somewhere like the Emirates despite playing with 10 men for more than an hour. Such a good defensive performance and Bayindir, what a performance.

Yeah fair enough Threeps. I don’t watch you every week like you lot do. You deserve to be leading the table, no doubt about that. I’m not sure I’d be confident of you winning it if there were one or more decent challengers though. It seems all the usual challengers are off it this season. No better chance for you lot to take advantage and you’re doing exactly that.

Take that all day long. A better ball by Zirkzee and Maguire wins that at the end. Much improved performance by Utd but must come with consistency or it’s pointless. Have to say I’m somewhat underwhelmed by Liverpool as potential title winners. They’ll win it now without much of a challenge but I wasn’t blown away by them in all honesty.

Spot on Chucky re the Nordics and dealing with the snowfall. People laugh here when I tell them my school used to close in England when it snowed 😆

You’re never confident in any game full stop Sean 😆. Obviously anything can happen, theoretically, but it will be only ending one way today and that’s with a win for Liverpool. Right now I’d take a narrow defeat with an improved performance to give us something to build on.

Well congrats on the win lads 😅. Reckon I’ll be going offline completely for a few days after today. Could be brutal this one

Sean, I get things wrong. I’m not perfect. I’m sure you’ve been wrong about things in the past haven’t you? I know your default is to be negative about everything then it’s a bonus if you’re proved wrong but I just can’t do that. It’s our job as fans to be optimistic about our clubs albeit we have to be realistic too. I honestly don’t see the point in just being negative about everything and hoping to be proved wrong. That would be the end of football for me. I need some hope for it to be enjoyable. Of course you’re going to get fans saying someone’s been good and others disagreeing. There’s millions of fans supporting the same team. Do you think they’re all going to agree on everything all the time?

Sean, I don’t think I’ve been lauding average players at all. All I’ve ever done is question why you think I would write players off after a few weeks at the club. That would be madness and I’ll never do that. We’ve bought some awful players and plenty who I thought would do better than they have done. I’m convinced that a lot of these players are better than my club makes them appear. McTominay bossing Serie A a prime example. These players are poor but I don’t think they’re THIS bad. We’re just a mess and, like CM, I just feel detatched from the club and the game at the moment. Losses used to affect me. Now I’m just not that bothered any longer when we lose. It’s a long way back from here.

I think you’re downplaying his achievements in Portugal a bit Sean. He managed to break an almost 20 year wait for a league title for Sporting and won 2, not 1 title and was flying again this season towards a 3rd. That’s not to say you’re wrong about the job being too big for him. It may well be. I honestly don’t know what the problem is at my club any more. They’re just a shambles in every single department at the moment. I’d love to say stick with the manager no matter what but if we start genuinely nearing the bottom 3, there’ll be no alternative but to sack him. Then the cycle begins again.
The thing is, if they did sack him, what then? Ole until the summer then bring a new guy in? It’s just a mess where I see no light at the end of the tunnel.

Christ, how bad are Spurs? This is why I never buy into this hype that is created when they get these odd really good results like the City away one. They’re awful and fair play to Liverpool for exploiting it which we weren’t good enough to do.

Chucky you wrote this after Ipswich beat you at home 😂
67% vs 33%
552 passes vs 258
83% pass accuracy vs 66%
17 attempts vs 8
12 corners vs 2
10 fouls vs 19
0 points vs 3… 🙂Not going to say they were “lucky”, but the footballing Gods were smiling upon them!
Of course I’m not reading too much into the stats but a scoreline can deceive also in terms of reflecting a game. Obviously goals are the only thing that counts though

Against Spurs we somehow conceded 4 goals from 0.67 XG. Today we’ve conceded 3 goals from 1.11 XG (of which the penalty was 0.8XG). I don’t think we’re structurally that bad defensively. We’re just making a lot of individual errors whether it be through poor confidence or whatever. Regardless of the reason, we badly need a confidence boosting win soon or this will be hard to turn around.

Long old season ahead for Utd. We’re all over the place and badly struggling to create anything of note

Liverpool should be putting this Spurs side away with ease, that’s for sure.

At least Amorim has the excuse of coming into a shitshow mid season and then completely changing everything about the way we play. That Ange has Spurs defending like that this far into his tenure is crazy. No idea how he’s won what he’s won in his career.

Ange always wins something in his second season 🙂
Always mate. Only silver lining is we don’t get to suffer Ange looking like he’s going to cry every time they lose 😁

Awful from both sides today. Just so poor

Completely agree with Threeps. If it’s mostly because of Rodri missing then that’s on Pep for not having adequate backup. For years they’ve been banging on about their impressive net spend and it’s come back to bite them. I can’t help but feel they place more value on being able to show how much they made on the likes of Alvarez than actually worrying about how valuable he was to the team. This is the first time in a long time City’s recruitment can be seriously questioned. Imagine where they’d be if they’d kept Lavia, Palmer and Alvarez, for instance.
