ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

so its OK when they are one of two teams dominating the league with dirty American money or dirty oil money and absolutely no suggestion of 'assistive techniques and/or substances' that are not in the scope of current rules/testing, but when they fall short, its unfair. Let me reach for my tiny tiny violin.

Is it possible for us to vote for the big 6 to join the ESL and grant them their wish to 'koff to another league.

Satans in bed with them Dave, let's not be hasty.

A few injuries to city, who also can shoot themselves in the foot for no real reason, and they catch them up.

Nothings won or lost in December.

No chance.

City will get 90+ points. No other team will get mid-80 points.

Yeah it’s no coincidence for me that City have hit top gear because they’ve got De Bruyne and Silva back together fit and in form in midfield with a holding mid behind them. You could play anyone upfront with that midfield as it’s the two best midfielders in the league in their correct positions.

When injuries happen though Guardiola starts doing stuff like moving De Bruyne to right wing and putting Gundogan Rodri in with Fernandinho and it only takes one and result for momentum to be lost and they don’t have the type of strikers who can win games they’re not dominating.

As long as they keep injury free then it’s looking good for them. If Dias and Laporte went down though and we started seeing lots of Ake then I’d worry also.

Agreed - it's when pep starts getting too clever and starts messing about when things go sideways, and they get some mad losses or draws.

Spot on with the defence as well, ake is gash.

Far too early to call anything yet - until it's mathematically impossible I'll never rule that spawny shower out of anything.

Spinning the stats again - only lost 2, yes but drawn 5 that's what does you in the end.

Everton 1975 would have comfortably beat Derby to the title if we hadn't drawn 18 games over the course of the season.
Just two of those turned to wins (Carlisle Utd :blush: ) would have done it.
