2018/2019 Premier League Discussion Part III

You are playing City in just over a week's time, when it is perhaps the best time to play them. They somehow look devoid of ideas right now. Win that and it will open up a 9 point gap between the two, something which I can't see you slipping up having played the way you have this season.

One thing I see that will work in favour even when the eventual  slump comes (if it comes that is), is that unlike in the past, Livpool has decent enough depth, to pull you through. City for all their filthy rich attack, is one Fernandinho injury away (which they are experiencing right now) from scrapping barrels and fielding dross.

Liverpool can actually go unbeaten if they dont lose to City

Sure, unless they lose to Arsenal this weekend.























Pahahahahahahahaaha

we will find out alot about liverpool when they lose a game. as soon as chelsea and city lost for the first time this season they hit a bad run it will be interesting to see if liverpool do the same.

So they could go unbeaten, if they don't lose. Aha.

liverpool will not go unbeaten this season. tbh we have been very lucky in at least 4-5 games this season but like i said we will see how much guts they have when the lose the first game. the next 2 games can make or brake liverpools season. i dont think we can win the title but hats off to klopp and the players for giving it a fucking good go.

Unique is spot on. In the past we have succumbed to the pressure and we could not handle the loss and come out of it to face the next game. I remember those two losses in a row to Chelsea and City for example, under Rodgers I guess.

It's only half way through the season. Any talk about a small gap in points being in any way relevant for the title race is just silly.

Those points mean nothing at all. It all can change in 2 weeks, at any point.

City are favourites, and continue to be favourites.

Yep. Six to ten points gaps even in Feb - March were sometimes not enough in the EPL era. Newcastle in 95-96, Man United in 97-98 and 12-13, Arsenal in 02-03 and 07-08, all of these blew some important leads and ended up not winning the title.

wenger knew. but emery knows better.

Teams for Liverpool vs Arsenal.

Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Wijnaldum; Shaqiri, Firmino, Mane; Salah

Leno; Lichtsteiner, Sokratis, Mustafi; Maitland-Niles, Torreira, XHAKA, Kolasinac; Ramsey, Iwobi; Aubameyang

Mane and Salah are going to tear our defense apart.

Meanwhile, Spurs losing 3-1 at home to Wolves.

That title push lasted long, didn't it?

Spuds

Spurs spursing it up

Not that it matters much as the real fight is City vs Liverpool, Spurs is just noise

Must be said that Wolves were on point with the subs. Moutinho in and he assists a few minutes later, turning the game around. Helder Costa also subbed in and scored.

Moutinho has been running the show since he came on.

with spurs doing what spurs do best the pressure is now on liverpool can they handle it.

Our defence is the best at kicking the ball against each other.

We also know how to make Firmino look like bloody Messi. Every fucking game.

Emery is gonna be cursing in hieroglyphics at HT with his defenders. English or Spanish just won't do.

Lichtsteiner has been as bad a signing as the likes of Squillaci and Silvestre. Spends most of this time shithousing. Can't run and certainly can't defend.

Then again, our new wonderboy Torreira has been just as awful out there. He can't keep up with the pace of the game and is chasing the ball around like a kid.

They are both from Serie A so it's understandable they are having issues dealing with the elite level that is the PL. Not sure about Stephan but Torreira just needs more time.

Yet again, Firmino, Mane and Salah have bagged goals against us in a game at Anfield.

Arsenal: the most generous, weakest "top" team around.

Where is RG? Haven't seen him for some weeks. Can anyone update?

He really doesn't. But then, these are impossibly big shoes to fill.

Özil being out has certainly helped us defensively

At least Wenger was entertaining, we’ve got the Spanish Mourinho managing us.

actually think the ref shouldn't let Sokratis come back onto the pitch

what on earth is he doing berating everyone and not stopping when he concedes a clear as day penalty by sheer dumbness
