Liverpool - post match thread.

[kojak]

I am not surprised , good manager , good work ethic , players in the main near or at their peak eager to get back into Europe.

A few tweaks from the side that won the title two years ago comfortably and away you go.

We have been on the decline for a while and Manure are just starting to get back to being semi competitive.

Arsenal are well Arsenal so Liverpool without Europe become the main challenger but personally I think you will win the title by 10 plus points this season from Liverpool.

We are in a battle with Spurs and Manure for fourth and quite possibly a losing one.

You have the strongest squad imo but you also have a couple of problem areas, get them sorted & you'll be fine. You mentioned Europe & funnily enough that would be a good measure of this current Chelsea team, I think if we were in the CL now we'd be almost embarrassed, we have a long long way to go & a lot of building before we could be a serious CL contender. I think MU could be stronger as time goes on too unfortunately.

City are out of the race both defeats against Chelsea and Leicester on top of the draws against Everton and Boro (two of the league games where you can say that we had only ourselves to blame) have killed any chances of keeping pace with them.

You must be excited about CL though, you could go far in that with a good draw later in the comp

One attempt. One goal.

We played a lot better than BT Sport gave us credit for.

All the pep haters come back to me in three years as by then we'll have sick swaned the Scouse bastards.

Pep has his work cut out thats for sure.

When you lookat the teamseets before the match. You would have to make us favourites but yet again we underperform. Not sure what effect pep has had on the team so far. This could of been a Pellers performance from last season. Where has all the dosh we spent in the summer gone?? We aint no better. Chelsea are reborn and Klopp has made a real impact at Liverpool. Questions should be asked.

But we had no attempts and consequently no goals.

How about next Christmas when he's left the club?

Early days still. 20 games into a reign that could last 4 or so years for Pep is nothing. My impression is Pep is a manager who needs his right type of player, intelligent players. He will no doubt get more & more of these players over time & that will be the time to judge him. I still think Mourinho is a quality manager & yet look how things went pear shape for him last season, sometimes it just takes a bit of time for things to fall in to place, but if the quality is there then it surely will.

IF Pep is given the reigns as to who to target it could be an exciting summer ahead.

For what its worth I don't think any of the summer buys figured in his plans for the medium term perhaps with the exception of Sane but I wouldn't bet my house on it.

Gabriel is the first of his players IMO.

Past runs on the board don't count for much in Pep's world and no one is immune to moving on provided the right deal can be made.

Attitude and weakness of character were the reasons Nasri , Hart and Mangala were moved on and Yaya had to smarten up or stay off the park on match days.

Its clear a number of players some who have many runs on the board and tasted success with City are struggling to come to grips to what is expected of them but Pep is giving them every chance to buy in.

It would be interesting to know how many of the current squad Pep would have given the choice of the side he wants to lead in the premiership.

My guess is not too many and those he wants might surprise us.

Absolute bs. A good manager gets the most out of his players by motivating and instructing / coaching them to play a certain way. We have one of th e best squads in the prem. Certainly better than Liverpool's. If people are stating that pep needs to replace the majority of the team to be successful then I dont really rate him as a manager.

Yep looking forward to it and do have a chance to put a run together in the comp but still an evolving side to win it.
