So with Liverpool not hitting their stride really in the league so far, are we about to see them go on a run and open up a big gap before the Champions League starts up again?

A good win against Spurs, then backing it up with that result is a great way to start Christmas for them
 
Outstanding today - all those goals were of a superb high quality , some brilliant play and at times it was the best they have played for a while. Ruthless when given the chance. Nice week break now. Good to see Ox coming back and looking sharp.

Could do, they have the quality and the fact they have more rest than just about anybody else over the next few weeks, why not?

Getting through this last few weeks from the international break to Christmas was really important. theres now a period until end of feb/mid March where *every* team in the league is playing twice a week. We’re used to it. The bigger teams are all used to it. But this is the period where we (as a group of teams - Spurs, Chelsea, city, Utd) all will be looking to pull away from the others given the sheer number of games.
 
I just have a bit of a feeling that Liverpool are hitting their stride and what was looking like a very competitive season could well turn into a bit of a canter for them to retain the title.

No there isn’t, that will only happen if you stay in the Cup and don’t have replays, there are dates set aside for every Club over weekends and midweek.
ie: no midweek between 8th & 17th Jan, or 6th & 13th + 20th & 27th Feb, Lpool also have a 7 day break from 21st to 28th Jan as do other Clubs.

Long way to go yet and a lot of big games to play - two big results in the past two games and we have players returning from injury as well. Its been a tough period but many to come - glad we aren’t in the league cup and have a little break before the Xmas schedule hits. Going to be hard for all managers to keep the squad fit and in a groove - thought he did well with Mane and Mo today and also to give Minamino a full run out.

On a little tangent what a player Curtis Jones is - Phil Foden gets lots of hype but not enough games for City where as Jones is looking like the real deal and it’s happening because he is being trusted and getting regular game time - I thought with Silva leaving it would be time for Foden to burst through , what’s the reason for Pep not starting him more ?

They quoted this morning that liverpool used no subs at all in the week. It does tend to undermine the argument.

Lots of things being thrown at klopp, some I’ve understanding with, but not this!
How about in a top of the league clash he had no one to call on. What part of that bench was stronger than the team he had on the pitch?

whats that got to do with anything? high boot is a foul especially when trying to kick the attacker heading the ball in the chops. as the clown in the studio admitted, its a free kick anywhere else on the pitch

He admitted that because in the box it's anything to defend the ball

You won't see a player do an overhead kick outside the pen area

Also did you know low head in the box is just as dangerous . His foot was chest height if that ings lowered his head trying to win ball

It wouldn't have hit normal head height

Still can’t have your boot at chest height

It’s a foul anywhere else on the pitch so it should be a penalty
