0-0 incoming

is shaw the best LB in the league this season

As a neutral, that was one of the most entertaining matches I've seen in months Both teams went at each other. And that free kick was insane, I was not expecting that to go in. Pogba deliberately blocked Alisson's view and ducked out of the way when the ball came in, smart af

I didn’t notice the pogba part
Maybe he was rightfully so man of the match after all

We played a diamond I believe. I agree I don’t like us playing 5 atb. But Arteta seems to have ole’s number atm, id rather go there with a very stubborn set up

Diamond formation is NOT it,
Need a right winger ASAP

Wow lampard gone!

brutal.

Remember when Ole was the most likely to get sacked?

Disgusting club

question for the group...where do you rank this pep city team and klopps liverpool against the full catalogue of title challengers lets say the last 20 years. I think the city team is actual best non-united team. id go:

1. pep city 2016-2021
2. 04-06 mou
3. 'invincibles' arsenal 01-03
4. klopp liverpool 2018-2021

everybody else either was only like a 1/1.5 year contender or just not as good as these to be memorable. thoughts?

Damn Chelsea do the repeat and rinse cycle with managers. I’m actually relieved that the United board kept faith in Ole and didn’t succumb to the pressure of fans like me (:dead:) calling for his head. We are performing now just slight things that still need fixing, but we are challenging.

From what I think of Frank sacking is that he was doomed from the start. I don’t blame him for taking the job. It’s an opportunity you can’t turn down. But when you look at his track record. He was a championship manager who managed to get Derby into 6th place. Only just starting his managerial career.

I think Chelsea hired him for the now at the time as opposed to a real future plan with Lampard. At the time they had the transfer ban and he was the right fit to promote youth and get the best out of the squad
and get rid of the likes of Willian and Luiz.

This season clearly buying all those players didn’t help the team whatsoever it was like ‘too many cooks in the kitchen’ too much too soon. To integrate all those players and for the Chelsea board to expect immediate success from doing that. That’s where I do feel sympathy for Frank, I don’t think even the most accomplished managers could manage to get all those players working together straight away in one season. Very difficult task.

Disappointing that Frank wasn’t given that opportunity to see out the season. And I don’t think Tuchel is the guy to get everything going right for Chelsea. I think he’s a good coach, but with him I see 2 years max at that club

my take has always been, id rather win with ole, than someone else and am willing to give him/anyone really the opportunity to grow. just like SAF had in the early stages (different times/expectations but still).

with Chelsea, ultimately I believe the environment isnt conducive to long-term success. they are too trigger happy and unwilling to believe in their hires. like literally last 15 years this has been the story. from ancelloti in 2010 to everyone that followed. one bad patch of form and youre gone.

when you compare the two, Lampard and Gerrard...latter did it properly going to rangers, and learning the ropes. who knows if it'll translate to liverpool when he takes over the job eventually from klopp, but at least I think he'll be better prepared.

I'd actually believe we have a chance to win title if we had Ruud instead of Martial

Ruud+Bruno

Ruud was elite wished we had him now

The kind of striker we need

Lingard out on loan, Rojo or Jones completely out by the end of January please

No s*** lmao. We kinda contending now, imagine if we had one of the best strikers of the 21st century.

Ibra getting one over Lukaku again in the Derby scoring one through Kolarovs legs. (Kolarovs gotta be one of the worst signings of the season he’s been worst player on the pitch for club and country) Dalots Also playing decent where he doesn’t have much to do defensively (probably because he’s marking Alexsis Sanchez) but has played a lot of good balls attacking wise and his speed is still prominent.

Lmao Ibra just called Lukakus first touch“shit” And lukaku tried to kill him going into halftime
