He reads the game so well that he dosnt need to tackle normally.
But he’s looked off all season .
Sometimes you have to give the striker some credit.


Doesnt help hes having to do it all on his own surely? Gomez awful what i saw of tonight and the full backs little better, add in a high line with little midfield protection........
 
Just beaten by the better team on the night.

Something more going on than just a bad game. Napoli we’re good but, wow, the lack of effort at times was worrying.

Fair enough I don’t want to see the reds win like ? But the difference between them from less than 6 months ago is crazy. Tired? Injuries? Rebuilding? All fair reasons but something else too? The one thing you’ve had for years is confidence and it just seems completely absent at the moment.

Edit: meant to say Diaz is still putting in good performances. Just not happening elsewhere.

? I said as much after the community shield and I don’t think it will be the last time this season that is exploited.

Yes can’t argue with that.
If Milner is starting there is a problem.
Lack of creativity in midfield to many sideway/ backward passes.

Just commenting on tonight.
The high line is a problem imo.
It’s fine if your midfield is on its game but ours isn’t atm but tactics havnt changed.
 
A lot of people predicted Richarlison for flop of the season but it's not going that way at all.

He’s a diving, cheating, one trick wind-up merchant.

And I love not having to defend him for it. ?

Seriously though, he’s always deserved better and I’m glad it’s happening for him.
 
Shocking 1st half performance at least we drew the 2nd half.

It's almost impossible to defend when there's nothing in midfield. Thiago showed the difference he makes when he came on.
 
So, when people predict the top 4, it is pretty much City and Liverpool by default, then 2 others.

Do we think that we will soon be getting to the point where City are the only guarantee, and 3 others?

Liverpool are that bad, it has sort of taken the shine of United beating them for me.

Maybe Liverpool need to sack Klopp immediately, and get Potter in before Chelsea snap him up :)
 
I had a look at that link.

Chelsea is currently one of the top club in the Premier and they have seen about 13 managers in the past but the recent appointment of Thomas Tuchel has been a blessing for them. The German manager won UEFA Champions League with Chelsea in his very first year and will now aim to win the League title this season as they currently sit at the top of the table, one point ahead of Liverpool.

So if he has been a blessing, why sack him. They never looked close to winning the league last season after a fantastic start. And don’t look like winning it this season after a poor start.

Indeed; why would you sack a manager that never looks like winning the league... :unsure: :rolleyes:
