      Bit naughty of Ole but he was taught by the master.

        Nine, assume you are referring to Ole’s comments about City getting away with nasty little fouls? Whilst I don’t think they are particular dirty, it does seem a tactic of theirs to use the professional foul against any would be counter attack. A clever tactic when you consider how well it allows them to throw more men forward and not worry too much about being exposed at the back.

        As for Ole, we all know what he’s trying to do…

          City I believe have conceded the least fouls of any of the top teams. A bit of SAF craft imo. πŸ™‚

            Depends where you look.

            Any sane Man United Supporter wouldn’t never want for their team to lose. Some of those players have a lot to answer for and need to pull their socks up rather than thinking they’re on the beach.

            I believe United will put in a performance and surprise many.

            I’ll go for a 1-1 draw. Fingers crossed from out POV they avoid defeat.

                    Solskjaer to substitute himself at the end and score the winner. You heard it here first.

                      Nine, stats without context are pretty useless. Man City having one of the lowest foul counts could mean that they commit the least fouls, or that they get away with the most. And the covers all fouls, not just the technical ones I mentioned.

                      Anyone who watches Fernandinho must know he gets away with so much every game he plays. I’m not criticising Pep for using this, it works brilliantly with his tactics and as long as his team gets away with it then why not?!

                        Banjo texted, said “Fuck shit bullocks you’re a Gooner!”, so I guess you were right about his Courgettes!

                          Threeps I could same the same zzzz about those that kept & keep saying city will drop points. Believe it or not I’m a pretty optimistic person in general & have a bright happy outlook on life. I just call the football as I see it mate, I know some don’t agree but so be it. I don’t like what football has become, you can literally buy comps, but I do like watching it, especially last season when it was heavy metal footy, brilliant to watch.
                          Mak, I can’t just change & be optimistic, the way I see it city have spent a shed load more than everyone else & therefor I expect them to win the EPL, much like most others said at the start of the season. We’ve done a lot better than I thought we would & can be proud of our club. I love Klopp & think he will win something at Liverpool but reality is it’s not on our hands. The C/L is & I’m genuinely optimistic we can go further. Here’s to a manu upset tonight (Oz time). I do think we are going to win our remaining games so we are still a chance but I don’t like relying on hem to drop points.

                            Got a bloody course for a couple of days so probably won’t be seeing the manu result for a couple of days, so go go manu. Damn that’s hard to say.

                              Anyone care to point out the stat/fact that United have only lost 1 league game all season at OT?⚽️?

                                Oz I know how you think the game is going and to a degree I am thinking the same but pretty much every week since Christmas all we hear from you is that the big bully City will win everything and poor little Liverpool can’t compete and will end up with nothing. Maybe you don’t intend to come over that way but that’s the way I read it in my head, usually with a solo violinist playing a sad song in the back ground. Believe it or not but Liverpool are hardly the bastions of virtue in the football world, we have also spent shit loads trying to buy the league, we have tapped up players, illegally recruited youngsters, spent more than anyone else on agents etc etc.

                                I’ve never said City will defiantly drop points, maybe they will, maybe they wont, but until it’s mathematically impossible I will still believe. I said before in response I think to a post from Sean, that what the both of you do is self-preservation, protecting yourselves from disappointment by mentally preparing yourselves for failure. If that’s the way you are then fine, but I was merely pointing out that it’s becoming a bit boring reading the same negative thing from you.

                                  We get another top quality centre half and a world class midfielder or striker then we can only get stronger.

                                  It would be rich of me to complain about another team’s spending when I am for “If you can’t beat them join them”!⚽️??

                                    threeps, Solsjkaer was cynically trying to influence tonights Referee nothing more nothing less mate.

                                    All I see when I watch City is a wonderful football team but even the best teams have to break up play and stats or not City are no better or no worse at doing that than any other team.

                                      Nine, I know what Ole is doing, but I believe he has a point. So do others it seems:

                                        Can’t see anything other then a comfortable city win.

                                        If utd can keep them from scoring their usual fast goal then that might help

                                          I just can’t see United lose 2 matches in succession in the manner they did.

                                          It won’t be a heavy defeat though if Notes was still in charge, I might have thought differently.

                                            threeps, doesn’t matter mate one or other all teams commit tactical fouls and bend the rules not just City. Solsjkaer imo was out of order in cynically saying what he did I hope it works against him.
