Who is going to win the premiership title.

[Papas1982]

Our defence isnt that bad - have prob let in more goals than the other in the top 4 but it doesnt need drastic changes. Set pieces is the area where we have struggled at times.
Lovren should help next season

Nope! You can have Hoiveld. He's good for an own goal or too (carra needs replacing after all) 😁

Well I went today and how the heck we managed to win 4-1 I will never know. Southampton played excellent football for 30 mins in the first half and run city ragged. However is it the mark of a good team that they salvage summat from nothing.

anyway me Missis tash and me old man who's just been cleared from leukemia had a good day out at the blue camp.
another interesting day in the premier league.

This probably sounds like sour grapes but you had 13 players. That linesman should be signing on tomorrow morning but as usual it will just brushed under the carpet:angry:

That was a poor decision from the linesman - he must not have realised the ball was flicked on by Dzeko.

But City overall deserved the win it looked like.

 

[SaintHacker]

Even if he did the ref was in a perfect position and shouldn't have needed the lino it was that far offside. They can talk to each other, surely he had to question the lino at least?
Can't agree City deserved it, we were easily the best team up until that decision but that changed the game and knocked the stuffing out of us a bit.

I believe you had one shot on target - the penalty. You had a bit of possession for a ten to 15 min period but were creating no threats with it.

When they scored they were starting to gain the upper hand

Thats what is appeared like on the box

4-1 may have flattered them a little and the decision was wrong

Silva was offside twice, even before Dzeko flick. The whole first half saints dominated. Except for first minute and then we pushed up too much at end of first half and got stung. 1-1 at second half and could of been different. Unfortunately, at 3-1 city were always going to be comfortable in second half.

Just watching MOTD,what does Fellaini have to do to get a red card??

The offside was an error - as we have witnessed also it happens.

But if you dominated how come you had no shots on target ?

So you only dominate if you have shots on target? Our strikers had an off day.

We had more possession, both with the ball and Territorially. I have acknowledged that second half the writing was on the wall. But if you watched the game like you say you have, you'd have seen city booting the ball clear for 40 minutes. We didn't take chances so we lost. But we weren't in anyway outplayed, and unfortunately as myself and saintshacker have said the 2nd city goal killed the spectacle. I don't think it's bitter to complain about a decision.

I said it appeared that City deserved to win but was told that you were - are you saying they didnt because you had more possession but no shots ?

And anytime a Liverpool fan complains about a decision the response is normally "it happens and they even themselves out"

Who knows what would have happened if that go hadnt been given - you could have gone on and won - if you could find where the goal is or City on the probability would have step up a gear and still won.

It gets said to pretty much every fan,not just Liverpool:thup:

 

[G1BB0]

2 big games today, I fancy Everton to do Arsenal and Liverpool to bag 3 or 4 against West Ham although I have a sneaky feeling we go 1-0 down early doors!

I haven't said at any point we deserved to win. I simply stated that the decision was key. Which it was. I was simply pointing out we had more than 15minutes of doing nothing with the ball. Not getting shots on target doesn't mean it wasn't a good performance. City did to up a year slightly, but only after the dubious goal. Nobody knows what would have happened. They may have started 2nd half hungrier and smashed 6 past us, or they could have go nervous and we would have enjoyed more of the ball and taken another chance.

cant change the facts, they got 3 points we got 0. Not sour grapes to suggest it could of gone differently. Anyways, time to see what arsenal are made of.

And here you go again ..............................
Why turn this into an anti Man Utd thread when this is a 'Who will win the Premiership' thread, patently nothing to do with United.
Any chance you could start an 'Anti United & all their players' thread or just sing a different song?

Do you really need to be so defensive when some one brings up man utd?? Fellaini as clearly elbowed 2 opposition players in the past few weeks & got away with it.
Suppose I could have started a new thread & titled it 'Fellaini the thug' but I just thought I'd mention it on another football related thread. Hope that's ok with you matey

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Well it looks like it wont be Arsenal and they could even struggle to get top4 after todays game

 

[Paperboy]

Everton for fourth place on this display.

I'm not being defensive, in fact I agree with you about Fellaini, I'd just keep things relevant, that's all.
For could, read should ................... that's better.
Absolutely fine, life's too short an' all that.

Everton now 3-0 up. Really not looking good for Arsenal to stay in the top 4 at this rate.

Hope Everton get 4th. They do really well even when loosing their top players.
