I think you trusted the words of the Chinese government too much. There had been many reports coming out of Wuhan on how hospitals were overwhelmed by mid-January on Weibo (Chinese equivalent of Facebook and Twitter) with an alarming number of family clusters. And Wuhan is a big city with...

That's not true.

Great game again:)

Great 3 points today and comfortable performance. Delph continued his fine form and Silva celebrated his 300th appearance. Rested a few players and gave Nolito and Kelechi the much needed game time. All in all a nice weekend. Would be nicer if we get a cleansheet though.

But we have come from behind to win a number of big games this season. Barcelona, Arsenal, Monaco ... These are signs of a winning mentality for me. Plus the problem with the refs has to be taken into account. Agreed we have a serious problem though. Nowadays I never predict a cleansheet for us...

He didn't play deep last night. The performance was better than in the previous few games, but still a little bit disappointing. He's in a bad patch no matter where he plays, that's it. I think he's understandably knackered both mentally and physically given the injury to Gundogan, and it...

It looks to me that we are playing a no. 10 at the moment though, not twin no. 8s. Don't know if I saw it wrongly but it's certainly a surprise to me that Pep is playing a no. 10.

Because we have players with far better goal-scoring ability than him, whereas for Spain, Costa's performance is still rather inconsistent. Had David Villa's prime lasted for a few more years, some of the goals would probably have become assists. It's not a confidence thing, but rather about...

I hope they will be able to play together, especially now that Sergio is showing signs of success in adapting to the philosophy. People are saying that the team shouldn't over-rely on a sole striker, and perhaps by playing them both the burden will be more evenly shared.

And to think I used to consider him a lad with a sound mind and good heart ...

You said everything I want to say!:) Thought KDB played better than he had in recent games. Everyone was brilliant last night and I just love that.

Simply magical.

The stats we have access to aren't the ones valued by professionals. So imo all those "end-product" analysis is not comprehensive enough to be objective. Pseudoscience rather than true science. On another note, I came across a post in the Liverpool post-match thread about how Silva used to play...

I read about that in Mundo Deportivo but he also mentioned something about reaching the final stage of his career, staying here for at least three years or more, and then enjoying his retirement in a golf course. It is nothing out of ordinary. The Sun, as usual, just takes the most shocking...

Sometimes I think most referees need to have their eyesight checked. Not only in the Prem, but in other leagues as well.

He's okay in the second half. Baby steps I guess, considering how he performed in Anfield last year.

Not really, most of the time his crosses, along with simple passes, go awry (we had players inside the box). But in some moments he would pull a world-class pass out of his bag and this offers me hope. As for having no fucker in the box, this is another issue. But recent games seem to suggest...

I think the three in the back experiment is precisely for that purpose. And I too stand by my opinion that a player with his crossing ability should not be making simple mistakes whenever he plays wide. I heard he has played wide quite well before in his career and in the Chelsea game he created...

Did he play wide in the first half? Did playing wide force him into careless passing mode? Not playing centrally is just an excuse, especially considering there seem to be no problems with his fitness. A bad game is a bad game, but this does not detract from his brilliance as a player.

Indeed. Though if all those 45 minutes is what we could be given time, I would take the hardship now. All the best to you too in the new year.
