Sorry should have put the results and performance last season are irrelevant, but can see your point Sean about the expectations. I think most of those last season where from pundits that couldn’t see our inadequacies going forward however. I wasn’t surprised last season but would be if the same happens again.

Last seasons results are irrelevant. We are miles ahead tactically than last season, both going forward and defending. It was very easy for a team like Utd to shut up shop against us.
More relevant is this seasons game at OT which Liverpool won very easily. Utd have changed manager since and whilst he might go on to be a success the early signs are they are worse off.
I think a 3 at the back can be easily got at using Slots tactics and Szoboszlai may be a key player.
I’m not going to say we will thrash Utd as anything can happen in football but I can’t remember being this confident before the match.

Usually you are banned for two matches if it’s your 2nd red card of the season but his first was overturned on appeal so only a one match ban. So yes he returns.

Fully agree Sean, I just don’t understand all the claims his is disloyal. Fulfilling your contract to me is being completely loyal. If fans want to vent their frustration it should be at the club.
Players that fake injuries or go on strike to force a move are the ones fans should have a go at. Especially if they are desperate to move but refuse to hand in a request as that will invalidate their loyalty bonus.

Happy New Year to you too Sean.
I am fairly relaxed at the moment. This should have been done over a year ago but it is what it is. I think VvD and Salah will sign a two year extention and all the current noise points towards that. I also think TAA will sign. There is a lot of negative comments going about him especially from so-called Liverpool fans so I wouldn’t actually blame him if he left. From what I can gather the only outstanding demand he has made is to be captain after VvD. If he goes we will no doubt miss him (despite how the haters put down his game without understanding what he actually brings) but we will adapt and still be a great team.
Have to remember loyalty works two ways, and if these players leave they will have fulfilled their contracts and shown the same level of loyalty the club has shown them. I do not understand all this traitor talk banded about especially towards TAA.

Nil you’re right, Liverpool scoring 6 or more goals against Utd in the Premier League is fairytale stuff.
Oh hang on whats this…

CM you are attracting the wrong players, or those for a certain style and then change that when you replace the manager. Amorim will suffer because he doesn’t have the players he needs for his style and he is reluctant to change to accommodate those he has. So either he will be sacked prematurely or utd bite the pillow for a season and a half and see where they are after he gets what he needs.
Sean, 40 isn’t a magical number, the difference between Slot and Amorim is only a few years and similar experience. You want every manager to be Ancellotti? I remember you said Slot will be fired within 18 months and cited similar reasons so excuse me if I don’t take your reasoning seriously.

Slot is 46. Maresca is 44. Alonso is 43 I think. Nagelsmann is 37 and managed in the Bundesliga when he was 12 or something. Pep was 37 I think we he inherited and enhanced the best club team in history. Age and the job being too big is just a thing fans throw about without any real reasoning. If you’re good enough you’re old enough.
Is Amorim good enough? Or is it the players? Or just a conflict in styles? Can Ineos find out what is to blame and fix it, or should fans start to question them?

I never understand the whole “job too big for him”, based on what, coming from a Portuguese team? Slot came from a Dutch team and that league is lower ranked than the one Amorim came from.
Utd have had big name managers recently and they failed. There’s something underlining at the club that is a receipe for disaster. I think it’s a combination of poor player recruitment and coaches selecting poor tactics for what they have at their disposal, and that blame lies higher up the ladder.
He indeed needs time, I’d say at least to the end of next season to have enough chance to get his players in to play his style. Will he get it? I’m starting to doubt it.

For games 1-9 City were placed first in the form table and favorites for the title. For games 10-18 they were 18th and seemingly out of contention.. Things can change very quickly and drastically in football, and sometimes that just takes a few small things to happen at once.

It’s half way point so ask yourself could Liverpool have a 2nd half similar to Arsenal and Chelsea’s first half or even worse? I would say yes. And could arsenal or Chelsea have a similar 2nd half to Liverpool’s first half or even better? Possible but difficult especially when the European fixtures get tougher. But if those two things happen with one of the London clubs then Liverpool could lose the title. So no liverpool fan will say they’ve won it yet, even if we are in a great position.

When a manager first comes to a team they obviously want to play their way, but I do not think Utd have those players. I think most managers would be flexible enough to work with what they have and slowly introduce their style but it seems Amorim does not have that approach. I might be wrong, not seen much of Utd since his appointment so correct me if I am wrong.
One thing I saw was a pundit say he looks as if he is already struggling with his decision. He looks deflated already, and recently put out a rather negative comment about being sacked. Not good signs.

Yeah it’s been pretty good, but it’s not over until the maths say so.
But loving the twin disaster stories in Manchester!
Big shout out to Forest, what a season they are having.

Against a low block team was never going to be a game for Nunez, he needs space and there is none. I know Jota is recovering and Diaz maybe needs a rest but that was a poor selection by Slot.

YB, not going to argue with a fan about his own team, you know better than me. In my opinion Chelsea are very much in the fight and are the ones whose results I look for first.
Yesterday wasn’t perfect but the weekend before was with Liverpool and Arsenal both dropping points at home.
Still a long long way to go with many ups and downs for all 3 teams but its nice not having City looking ominous.

YB, you’re not fooling anyone, Chelsea are definitely in the title mix more so than arsenal. They have the advantage of being able to fully rotate the entire 11 for European matches which could be important towards the latter stages of the season.
I know it’s the football fans way to appear grounded or even negative towards their own teams chances but you’re in the race if you like it or not.

I’m just thankful for the result that leaves us still hanging in there on the title fight between Arsenal and Chelsea.

Sean, I don’t think anyone predicted how much City would drop off to he honest. Yes any team would miss Rodri but it’s more than that. I think the City golden generation is over and the team needs a rebuild of higher quality than the likes of Phillips, Salvinho and Nunes.
Nil, Arsenal had a good result yesterday but they drew at home against Everton the week before. Jesus isn’t an elite striker, he scored a few this week but then could easily go 6 months without a goal. Arsenal could still win the PL but everything has to go their way as there is already a points deficit. Your reasoning doesn’t make any sense.
And yes we could be 2nd by the end of today, we could also extend the lead. Why worry about it? Clearly Chelsea are in the fight and there will be twist and turns before the end. But Arsenal are really just hanging on.

Nil how on earth are Liverpool “hanging in there” when they are leading the league? If anyone is hanging in there it’s Arsenal as they know any further slip ups will probably rule them out contention. They can still win but they need to be almost perfect until the end of rhe season and hope Chelsea and Liverpool are not.
Ciry are done. I know some people refuse to rule them out as they have been on crazy winning streaks before but that was with better squads than what they have now. The quality they once had is now aged and the recent new recruits not a patch on what went before them.

If he did it would be very different to Klopp going. Klopp left the squad in a good state as we can see from this season results, Pep has let his squad grow old together and recruited badly in the last few seasons.
