This team is unreal ffs. Playing games every 3 days going around the world in the world cup coming back and beating the 2nd placed team 0-4 at there place is just crazy

Best team in England hands down. Deserved half-the-season champions.

Liverpool deserve to win the PL. Outstanding team. Klopp is the best coach in the world. Far superior to Pep.

What he has done with TAA, Robertson, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Keita, Matip and Lovren. It's unremarkable. He coached eliteness into their veins ffs. Those scrubs came from Hull, liverpool slums, Newcastle crack market and bundesfodder. But they play like multiple ballon d'Or winners.

Klopp is unrivalled.

Only match I saw this team struggling this season was against Ancelotti's Napoli.

Other than that game and the fact we never do well in the Group stages of the CL, we've struggled quite a lot this season. Just about winning games last minute.

Can Fred get some credit. Not even joking. He has been very impressive for an otherwise lacklustre united.

United's problems are honestly down to a few shocking players. Lingard, DDG, and Lindelof are just awful. Replace those three and Man U are firmly in top 4

Unreal Liverpool. Thumbs up

Why do City only get to play tonight when everyone played yesterday, and then they have to play Sunday again?
This is madness. They should be sueing this league.

Sue the league for what? they're not the only ones playing 2 games in 48 hours. United and the others are playing tomorrow.

Klopp said: 'People want it. None of the managers have a problem playing on Boxing Day, but playing on the 26th and 28th, this is a crime.

'Absolutely not okay and we still have it. This year we play 26th and 29th and it is like a holiday. I understand all those saying it should not happen.

'They are not moaning. They are telling. It is not for the spectacle. It would not be a problem to play 26th and 29th with more teams. There is no reason why more teams do not get more than 48 hours between a Premier League game.'

Oh right, they are. Madness all around. But Liverpool are advantaged.

We would be in the same boat but we had to go all the way to Qatar, play in warm conditions on hard dry pitches against thuggish do-or-die teams and sacrifice another trophy. So I'd say we are just about better off but this has to change, play the FA cup midweek rather than the weekend if not extending the league by a week. CL as it is, is played 3 weeks after the last game in the league and the other leagues go 1-1.5 weeks farther into May after the PL.

by Hapless_Hans Fri Dec 27, 2019 12:12 pm

Poor darlings, having to play in "warm conditions" against some Mexicans, while your domestic competitors have the luxury of getting ice rain smashed in their faces by stormy winds at the Grenoble Road with League One butchers jumping tackles at them

by Nishankly Fri Dec 27, 2019 12:18 pm

True, apologies. They'd finish top 4 in the bundesfodder.

by RealGunner Fri Dec 27, 2019 12:25 pm

The festive fixtures have been going on since the 1950s. It used to be far worse back then because teams had to play on Christmas day AND Boxing day.

There is winter break coming up in a month or two so it should balance out before the CL games

I don’t think they can do better than DDG. Pogba was actually quite good in their last game, but he does have a few of those games per season, and that was his first one this season Laughing

For the sake of consistency, Pogba absolutely needs to leave. They need a consistent playmaker, and personally I’d get let go of Luke Shaw, or use him as a squad player. Rashford is a fan favorite, and he’s having a pretty good season stat-wise, but his finishing ability is so limited and it cost them points earlier in the season. Just goes to show how misleading stats can be.

by Unique Fri Dec 27, 2019 2:10 pm

people crying for city for having to stretch that £1.8billion squad to play 2 games in a week. when liverpool been playing 3 times a week for the last month. Laughing

we need a creative AM, a clinical finisher and a decent CB and we're fine IMO

the AM is the priority though, so many of our problems are due to having 0 penetration in the final third, can rely on Martial/Rashford for forwards I suppose

sell Pogba to fund it

Fred's been very good the last 6-8 weeks, if he keeps it up I will be very happy, and it's completely unexpected given the diastrous performances he was putting in his first season, which I think we can now put down to him lacking confidence and never getting a consistent run

Martin Ødegaard would be absolutely perfect for Man United, but I believe you already said he’s a scrub who overachieved in a farmer’s league hmm

Good thing you have Socialmediagard from the best league in the world instead cheers

He's already had better performances than that jabroni Naby Keita, speaking of, wasn't he supposed to be the best midfielder in the league according to you by now? how's that going? 80M FLOP.

he is the best MF in the lge when he plays. played the last 5 games and has 3 goals and 2 assists plus 2 MOTM. he is also champion of europe and champion of the world so it was £48mil well spent. Cool
