Liverpool have 2nd sewn up - EPL 2018/19

gosh

young ffs

gosh!

Yeah NN that Utd game had it all alright. 2 stonewall penos that should've went Southampton's way and an offside goal from Lukaku

Yeah it was great wasn't it

cant call a fraction of a knee offside imo, benefit to attacker every time

I'd agree even if it didn't benefit Utd

Smalling gets away with at least one blatant shirt pull in the box every game. I don't like it, but it seems to work for him

Young is just a disaster but Dalot seems to be coming along well so hopefully he can be phased out soon

anyway i know i harp on about the guy but that young tackle that gave away the equaliser fk....its not that it wasnt almost a 50/50 in terms of them both flying in but i mean....how close was he to following through to head height, or did i just see some funny angles?

the guy is going to hurt someone badly before he gets put out to pasture, reckless aggression is covering (somewhat) his deficiencies as a defender

Merseyside Derby is hard on the eyes

well well

That rules Everton out of a late challenge for Man United's sixth spot

pretty shocking stuff from Liverpool really. They don't have a midfield, and if the front three aren't firing there's just nothing there

They've been bad more than they've been good this season tbh

A team challenging for titles on the basis of a good defence and a few hardworking cloggers in midfield - what a new and rare thing.

that's not really the narrative though is it

*popcorn.gif*

I feel fairly relaxed about it to be honest - they weren't going to win every game from a point ahead just as they prob don't even need to win every game from a point behind. Form could be better but we'll see how it goes.

nothing but good feelings here

It's pretty great being a Utd fan at the moment

I was just trying to give you a pleasant nostalgia for the Fergie days!

Tbh and this is cliche really - the huge overreaction at the end of the match is fairly ridiculous. Like "a disastrous blow" etc - even the raging about the performance from fans - Liverpool had enough good chances to win 3-0. The points tally and season so far is hard to question.

Just looking at the remaining fixtures and Liverpool have a bunch of matches coming up against some poor sides- Cardiff, Huddersfield, Newcastle and Spurs

yes

I do think our run-in is slightly more favourable. There are nine games to go, who fucking knows. Alexander Ocasio-Chamberlain should make a difference too, he's playing in the reserves this week.

Southampton are being very obliging but we're a completely different and more purposeful team with Dele in it.

Southampton now winning. Genuinely can’t see a top four finish.

can you actually believe kyle walker peters

can you believe him

can you believe danny rose

eric dier

can you believe the cheek and the gall of them

you cant put deliberate decisions to consistently fuck up in the same category as incompetence

Silva gone

Scott Parker gone

cunts.

Genuinely can’t see a top four finish

resigned myself to that weeks ago but the fissures it's likely to expose are the bigger issue here. things like Dortmund just mask them

im glad its over tbh

You fuckers moan about refs, well Prem ref Roger East just did our game coz it was on the telly and he was on a different fucking planet to the usual absolute shite. You absolutely don't know how good you have it

Oh fuck off chelsea

Fair but ouch. Wd've took the point at 2

Think Ruben shd've chopped him

Was rooting hard for your boys there

Felt sure we'd give them a game, painful to concede from there but point clear on 7th isn't bad

utd with an incredible move there, not quite getting the last bit right

yeah, would have been one for the ages

Been the better team since the formation change, but Rashford is having a nightmare

I don't blame de Gea overly for the goal either. Xhaka looks he's shaping to curl it the other way and then cuts across it at the last minute

Be disappointed if we don't get a draw here.

Fucking dive

yeah, disgraceful

ah well, run had to end sometime

Feel bad for fred cos he was having an okay match

Arsenal's run-in is a real piece of piss as well.

Greenwood

the narrative

was actually hoping for enough of a shellacking that Utd would go third on goal difference as it'd be overall beneficial for us I reckon. bleh

Until now I'd been rather complacently assuming that Arsenal would drop enough points against midtable opposition but I'm not so sure now.

I think they will

they haven't even been good today

Shocking for Utd to suffer a dodgy pen

lol are ye still following football pfft

eh

just seemed like things weren't going to run our way today

enjoying the media enjoying the chance to hysterically react to a couple of bell-ends running on the pitch
