      It might literally be survival of the fittest this season.

        No side able to pull away at the moment. Lot of teams will fancy their chances.

          Lot of sides seem to be struggling this weekend.

            Type of game we’d really need something like a Van Dijk headed goal.

              Alisson & Fabinho our best players at the moment.

                If only Man Utd could have found a manager like Jose…

                  And they held their nerve Nine last season when Leicester beat them 9-0. Many other clubs would have gone on to sack him. Very well run club who deserve success at some point but alas they constantly get cherry picked!

                    Both sides look they’re drifting and need some new signings to freshen them up.

                      VAR when somebody goes over a line by a centimetre….

                        Like the idea Pagan to ditch the lines. Problem is the lines are available in the system, and so are too tempting to look at. Indeed that is a big problem – the availability of such things and this notion that we think we can reach perfection in accuracy is just too tempting to many to throw over the wayside. So they cling to it like Gollum with the ring. (That’s enough analogies for the moment). πŸ˜‚

                          Ole has become something of a one trick horse with this counter attacking tactic. But to quote a film, 60% of the time, it works every time. πŸ˜‚

                            They won’t ditch it now. We’re just going to have to wait for some proper leadership on it to shake out the nonsense areas of it. The refs can start that process. But the premier league don’t appear to be in a rush to change things:

                            Premier League chief executive Richard Masters said earlier this year that VAR was delivering on the “principal reason” for its introduction in improving the accuracy of decision-making.

                            “In key match incidents we are up to 94% accuracy with officials, 97% with their assistants, so we are seeing an impact on results and a positive impact on the league table,” he said

                              Is there something in it when City always tend to fly through qualifying, only to be undone later on because there’s more pressure & Pep starts overthinking his game plan? If you put early round Pep in charge of later round games, would City have won the CL by now?

                                Just the feeling I get from him Ed, think he’d be the better bet. Poch has many good attributes, but he’s just not a winner for me. You have to look to the long term – why install somebody as manager of one of the biggest clubs in the world if you don’t quite think he’s got it to take you back to the top? Take it from a Liverpool fan during all those years as a nearly team – it’s very easy to drift into a pragmatic mentality, thinking you need to take it step by step. But it never works because you just keep drifting. Yes, there’s a bit of work to do there, but a few signings can make a huge difference.

                                  Poch or Allegri for Man Utd? I’d be thinking more along the lines of Allegri now. More charismatic than Poch and probably lets the players play a bit more off the cuff. Would Pogba suddenly have a change of heart if he walked through the door too?

                                    To be fair Reina was very very good for a few seasons at Liverpool, winning the golden glove for 3 consecutive seasons. But thereafter the mistakes started to creep in, and he declined quite quickly. Mignolet is an ok no.2 keeper but has an error in him every so often.

                                      There’s been a feeling for many years that “we’ve got to do something!” over some of the wrong decisions that have been awarded, given that we now have better more widespread video technology and communications available. This has been driven by several different groups. But the “we’ve got to do something!” mentality nearly always produces disastrous results because it is based primarily on fear – fear of an injustice, even a minor one, being committed. So it was inevitably going to be utilised to the nth degree and this is the mentality that results from such a thing. As with other things in human history, the pendulum always swings too far the other way initially, so we’ll have to just wait for it to swing back a bit. That may take some time.

                                        And little was made of just how well Mane pulled out of that just in time because if it was damn close in slow-mo, it must have been even more impressive in real time.
