This is all I seen last night watching them sat in the stands discussing who is more bitter and more ugly.
The tannoy should have played the dualling banjos theme, biggest set of twats all under one roof.

Please don't besmirch the Bash street kids by associating them with the swamp dwellers!

If PEG plays the Spurs and Chelsea games with the same attitude he took to Anfield, we'll be 7 points clear in a month.

Unless I am terribly mistaken...didn't the rags draw with the mob you have just stuck 7 past???

Time for the fixtures to get tougher,....injuries...Europe.....fall away ya rag bastards

I think the fixtures have been very kind to them. To the extent it has allowed them to hide a guilty secret.......that they are actually shite.

I was thinking maybe Peggy would open it up today knowing Liverpool's back line is suspect. Perfectly happy that he didn't. If we keep playing like we have, draws won't be good enough for them.

Rag on redcafe calling Pep a checkbook manager ..ohhh the irony.

he is the definition of a cheque book manager. Give him a squad which isn't by far the best in the league and he won't win anything.

It's hard to argue against that. He's a very good manager with clear limitations. I can't place him amongst the greatest managers (Fergie, Shankly, Mourinho etc) because he's never been in a challenging job before. Every job he's been in he's had big funds available and world class players already at his disposal.

They drew today against a team we put 5 past as well ; -)

The secret is that the rags' back line is also suspect. I know they don't concede many, but that's because the whole team's behind the ball. If they played attacking football, their defence would be exposed for what it is; completely average. It reminds me of when LVG was in charge and they were claiming Smalling as one of the world's best CBs because he looked good with 4 men in front of him. A couple of years later and he can't even get on the pitch.

You just laugh at these now.

It's true, we have bought the best squad in the country, it's the most expensively assembled team in the country too.

The difference is that they've spent the second most, only about £50m less, and still play like Burnley, while we play like the best team the country has seen for decades.

Radio 5Live commentator said the same after our game, if we keep playing like this, settling for draws in big games won't be enough, it will rule them out of the title by default.

If he isn't going to play progressively in that game, with Liverpool having won 1 of their last 7 games, with their best attacker out injured, and their defence conceding an average of 2 goals a game...he just never will, and either Spurs and Chelsea will beat them if they play that way because they won't butcher the chances Liverpool did.
