The alternative if we lose or even draw a tricky fixture at West Ham , the wheels would have come off and Pep will be leaving for pastures new , it happened last season against Spuds , but it didnt turn out too badly :)win at West Ham and yesterday is forgotten. Actually it’s already forgotten but you know what I mean.
Exactly. 38 games rather than 1 friendly. Sorts the men from the boys.The alternative if we lose or even draw a tricky fixture at West Ham , the wheels would have come off and Pep will be leaving for pastures new , it happened last season against Spuds , but it didnt turn out too badly :)
Yep, but, contrarily, they even make attempts to legitimise it! Matterface saying 'I think it's safe to say liverpool prefer their 'own anthem'. Bloody shameful!you heard from them was a truly pathetic and disgraceful boo for the national anthem which should be talked about more in the media
I know what you mean about stones,Pep wouldn't be Pep if he were influenced like that. Some fans go with shit conspiracy theories instead of seeing the facts. Last season Laporte was our most available and reliable defender. He risked his health and played injured in the last games to help us win the title.
If Stones wants to be our main CB he should stay fit for longer than 2-3 months. When Laporte got that bad injury, Stones was so shit that Pep had to play Ferna at CB. I get the bias with Stones. It's natural, he's English, looks like a great lad, and so on. Nobody is guilty that he is injury prone though, or that he listens to his foolish anti-vax GF.
the Dippers will now go into the season thinking the title is in the bag
Thanks for the update , not sure that qualifies here to air her opinions but she's a lot easier on the eye than Keane , after that sexist comment , i must admit i a not an exponent of the women's game but will be cheering them on tonight to beat the Gerrrrrmans.She played for Brum 'n Chelsea and England - scored a crucial goal for England sometime and that has opened a few media doors. It will be interesting to note that if, when Steph retires, she gets any media work, if she doesn't go into coaching.
Your correct , i was mainly referring to their rancid fan base , but they think it is "our year" every year , apologies for stating the bleeding obvious :)Tbf, they aren't that stupid. But you are right, the loss may work for us because it raises the expectations. Klopp hates Liverpool to be seen as favourites for a reason. The underdogs position is well more comfortable.
That’s why I believe we need to get off to a fast start, get the points on the boardI also think everyone is forgetting about the World Cup in the middle of the season. A very competitive competition in the middle of another competitive competition. No one knows what effect that is going to have. Playing in a hot climate then coming back to potential freezing conditions. Might see some weird results in January
Him chugging after Firminio and then giving up showed where we are fitness wise.I can’t remember the last time I saw Rodri give the ball away that much. I think that sums up our readiness. Next week we’ll be fine.
Silva always plays there against Liverpool to help stop their press on Rodri.I was surprised Pep took KDB off just after we equalised, KDB always comes into his own in the last half an hour especially when the murderers asthma meds start to wear off, I guess Pep just wasn’t that arsed. Other takeaways, Cancelo isn’t a great defender, Grealish doesn’t do enough to stop shots coming in, we missed Jesus and Sterling supporting the full backs, not sure why Silva was played so deep. Ederson was very good, Foden looked good when he came on.
city fans were great.
