Premier League 2019-2020 we’re off

[Captainron]

I think we could be in serious danger of having the Liverpool invincibles aswell

They are playing very good football but winning ugly if needed

Survived injuries to Allison and a suspension

Only real team that can push them after yesterday Is Leicester .. city have very key injuries
But on top of that teams have just seemed to work out how to beat them

Liverpool are a different matter

Ah but there can be no fair play to Leicester if Liverpool contrive to throw this away. If Leicester or anyone else take the title off Liverpool from here it’s because Liverpool bottle it.

I don’t think they will though so I’m ready to say enjoy the run in.

If you bottle it from here though lar.....
free for all

It’s never won in December, 11pts is only 4 defeats but were playing well and our mentality is on another level.

Hopefully injuries don’t hinder us but with VAR on our side that won’t matter ?

 

[Papas1982]

How on earth is a player challenging for a ball at a corner not active? Whether he touches it or not?!

Has a rule changed?

Liverpool are looking unstoppable. I think one of the big things is how well the squad is playing. Not played what would be considered the starting 11 in the last 2 games, yet scored 8 goals and picked up 6 points. What I really liked is that we have had 7 different goal scorers, 4 of those would not normally be in the strongest 11. So there are goals from the bench which will be big this month with all these games to play.

Clearly still well behind Liverpool, but the gaps to the rest are getting bigger and bigger and it’s such a joy watching LCFC now. Great win today. Even when we won the league we had 39 pts after 19 games, we now have 38 after 16. I suspect that it will take more than 90 to win it and that’s probably beyond us, but need to keep the pressure on and who knows.

I mean no offence by this but the football of this season is top trumping the title winning team by a country mile

Some of the football was very much a dull watch and the form by other teams nose dived all at once

This season the football you have played has been breath taking

It's good to see

I agree, the team now are exciting to watch and, with a couple of exceptions, we are not just grinding out results. Overall it’s a better team than the title winning one.

I was saying the same thing to my PP's this morning. Hard to see who is strong enough to stop them and they are finding ways to get results when not laying well. Not sure even Leicester can do anything, not am I sure their own particular bubble won't burst at some point. Definitely think the PL is done and dusted (7/10 of the last sides at top at Christmas have gone on to win and Liverpool were top the other three tines - and pretty sure whether Klopp says he doesn't look at this stuff he'll be aware) and so for me all about the unbeaten run

I'm clinging onto the hope that ur legendary bad prediction record will come into play here lol

Vardy is getting better aswell.. wouldn't believe he is 32 almost 33.. normally you slow down after 30 not speed up

He doesn’t waste energy anymore by chasing everything. Such a simple adaptation but the rewards are amazing.

As a certain Mr Keegan said "I'd love it"

Sadly even my prediction fallibility won't save the day. They could lose a couple of times and still be comfy. I can see all the challengers dropping more points along the way anyway

Vardy is superb , oace is dangerous and he uses his very well, and he can finish very well.

I suspect he is still trying to get over turning down Arsenal though

It's only injuries that's going to slow him down over the next 18 months or so. He plays once a week with enough recovery time in between games. He's got that much pace even if he does start slowing down, he'll still be quicker than most.

Think Rogers will manage him conservatively. He's not daft and sure Vardy will know himself he can't play every game. Given the talent and age of the England front line I can't see him getting back into that squad again though

seems the delight in the front row of the city fans yesterday was called Anthony Burke and has been arrested today by GMP


Social media has its downfalls, ensuring idiots like this are identified and dealt with not one of them!

Good to see

Lots were also sending tweets to the company he works for as well
Understand a few others have been given bans by the club

Now that’s when it goes wrong and it wouldn’t be the first time mistaken identity on social media has caused an innocent pain.

But we now need the courts to take firm action. Lifetime bans don't solve the problem. If people were to get hit heftily in the pocket and have to explain to their family why there isn't cash for Christmas presents for the kids it may start to get the message across that this is unacceptable. I wonder what his employers will think of the situation?
