Today’s Football 2022/23 Season

….wonder if getting Haaland in might be a bit like the season we had Lineker. Scores loads of goals but win nothing.

We'll call this one an overreaction after one bad result.

Absolute amateurish defending for the goal.

You have a corner - they put Mo Salad on the half-way line. So you put ONE defender on him! No, no, no! You put two back there. One to mark him tightly, another sweeping about 5 yards behind them in case the ball drops behind. What happened? We all know - free run-in on goal...

agreed, that’s exactly where the game was lost and it almost happened again about 10 minutes later with Nunez i think!

Big up Union too. Top of the bloody league.

Hope you switch to them now and bin off the energy drink flavour of the month.

Positives:
- Motivated City
- Jota lengthy injury
- Nunez confirmed to be worst signing of the season

Arsenal on top here, Naples on top in Italy, Madrid firmly in control of Barcelona. Man Utd a laughing stock...

It's like a two months long back to the eighties party

Just seen they’re 18/1 for the title so in other words, the bookies are not buying into what we will all be subject to in the next few days, the inevitable media pile on of how great RS are.

They were 33/1 when they won the Champions League in 2005. They're only 7 points behind City if they win their game in hand. Personally I'm not sure they have it in them to go on the kind of run they've been on before but you never know. That said, their goal today was non-league (or Notts Forest v us) defending and they've struggled to break teams down this season.

Difference is we changed to hoofing it over the top. All they needed was someone to be there 6 yards out in the middle when their crosses flashed across the box, and Haaland gives them that. They haven't really changed their style of play.

Lost today and top 4 was gone, never mind the title. False hope springs to mind.

They haven’t won there with fans in the ground since 2003. Liverpool haven’t lost a home game with fans in the ground since 2017.

I know our run is worse but considering the money City have and the players they've had that's embarrassing

You can never rule them out and I fully expect them to win their next five league games (World Cup might’ve come at a good time), but put it this way, I’d have taken them being seven points behind City at this stage of the season in August.

Bet you've wanted every manager out since Moyes

What relevance does that have to my reply? Do you disagree with me expecting more from this football club than what we've seen so far this season?

Don’t be absurd. They can’t have Tory Frank and then a Labour supporting Union side!

Tory Frank and Taurine FC is definitely more in keeping.
