      I haven’t really been following this forum very much while I was away but I notice that LD and Brian don’t seem to post here at the moment. All ok with them?

        Mak… we’ll be all over the place until Micky and Madders are back… the only issue I have with the “current” tactics is putting Sonny as a #9 against a team packing the peno box… he’s about the only one who can whack one in from 25 yards… can’t help feeling it would be better with him out wide and maybe that Valiz chap (or even Richy) in the box…

          Mak, Iโ€™m not expecting a tithe challenge from Liverpool at all. Itโ€™s all about top 4. We have made massive changes in midfield and we are going to have more results like Luton

          I still fancy city but Arsenal now have the experience from last year. They never got get even closer

          What is happening with spurs now I thought would happen at the start of the season. The media really went silly with ange. It was ridiculous.

          Newcastle have been playing the same 11 for weeks now.

          Cm, utd have many injuries but Saturday was just a disgrace no? Like players not even trying for the manager. The same batch that have hung other managers out to dry. Absolutely FairPlay to ten hagg for dropping rashford and the crowd played their part with a few whistles when he came on.

          He is so frustrating. Itโ€™s not the first time with rashford. I think he might be going through something off the pitch. What do to do with him? Heโ€™s not a team player but absolutely top class on his day

          If I was a utd fan, Iโ€™d hope I never saw martial in a utd shirt again. You look at maguire. Kept his head down and fought his way back. The stick he got. FairPlay to him

            All absolutely spot on re Utd Sean. You need everyone to play with intensity for Ten Hag’s football to work. Without it, it can be disastrous. Against Newcastle, Rashford and Martial set the tone from the front. They just walked around leaving Newcastle with numerical advantages all over the pitch. Say what you want about Antony but he works his socks off and the difference in intensity against Chelsea was night and day.

            Mak, Lucky pops on from time to time. Brian, I’m not sure. My hope is he just doesn’t have the time and that he was able to enjoy the treble win. It’s a bit concerning that it’s been such a long time since he posted though so it’s difficult to not fear the worst there.

                Excellent post there Sean. I see where you’re coming from with regards to not expecting a title challenge from us. I do think we’ll have plenty more potential spills alright. We’re not as solid as we might need to be at the back (Alisson keeping our goals conceded way down is a luxury), and more surprisingly we’re struggling to break teams down at times. Adding goals from range t4o our toolkit helps with that. It’s good to have that in the minds of the opposition but again, you can’t rely on it to get you wins week in and week out.

                I’m tipping Salah to break his mini goal “drought” today. I mean, for him…
                We have got to start performing better up top. Nunez to not get caught offside so much and to get his chances on target would be great and for Diaz to gain that extra 5% sharpness back, after he’s settled back into the rhythm of things (few weeks post-crisis and all).

                Sean, even though I totally get where you’re coming from and I do not say this with bags on confidence, I think we’ll put in a title challenge alright. Maybe that gets as gut-shot today, who knows.

                As for what you said about Utd, so spot on man. All of it. I don’t really watch Utd anymore but I know the players, what they re like. I hear what happens and I sometimes see highlights but it’s a very similar story now and surely it is finally time for them to look at the players who are creating this revolving door of managers.
                It must be maddening alright, to have someone like Rashford who is out of this world when he bothers and then totally useless for huge spells.
                If a player is trying like Darwin, I am mostly ok with it. If they can’t be arsed though, it’s like that talent that you know is there is an extra weight.
                As for Maguire, I felt pretty bad for him there after seeing how much shit he was getting. It goes well beyond where it should. Some things need to stay at a banter level. Fair dues to him though for not giving in.

                  Did he make any kind of comment that suggested he was going to leave?

                    sry posted this in last weekends post :

                    Nunez again just horrendously offside. This really has got to be addressed.

                      well… That inability to break teams down is showing itself. Salah has been so isolated out there. The one time we looked like we might score was when he made a run-in.
                      Endo is having an absolute mare. He’s got some adjusting to PL pressing to do yet.

                      Not sure what Klopp can do here, or what he should do. We have a few who arent at the races at all but maybe he should hold off on any half-time changes and give them 10 minutes after a bit of a teamtalk.

                      My eye is on Endo and Nunez to improve in 10 or get subbed.

                      That save earlier from Alisson was amazing.
                      As for the penalty, I first thought Klopp was frreaking out about Van Dijk’s challenge and was telling him to zip it, that it was a peno. Of course, after seeing the Endxo foul again, I realised.. What is weird is that the ref looked at it so many times. It very clearly is a foul. I mean, both were, we’re just lucky that one came before the other.
