It's 2am , I can't sleep so I'm going to post a few thoughts.
Someone said ( I was going to look for the post but I can't be arsed) it's a penalty for me ( talking about the Mane dive). Every time a Liverpool player fell it's a free kick. Mane falls in the penalty area of course it's a penalty. We're Arab owned aren't we? We cheated FFP didn't we? Except an annoying independent court looking at actual evidence said we didn't. Liverpool do it the right way don't they? I mean look at the net spend. It doesn't matter to the ref though, he knows where the benefit of the doubt lies.
I think Sterling is mediocre. If you set up the team up for his strengths he can look good. He rises above his weaknesses in the right set up but if it's not perfect for him forget it. But he's never going to lose his place though. I'd be dead happy if we lost him.
Gundogan, how many times does he have to lose the ball? He's our Ray Wilkins - passes it to the side or back, loses the ball, as slow as fuck.
I miss Sane. I miss de Bruyne being used on the counter attack to set up Sane. I miss Bernado Silva in centre midfield. He's not a winger ffs.
Jesus is great. Scored a great goal. Every time he got the ball he controlled it, looked dangerous. I know, he missed a tough header - Sergio misses chances too.
I think we'll do alright, the defence looks good and it will pull us through.
