Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

Why watch them anyway? They’re gonna walk the league, they have no title rival.

Hoping to see stretchers.

That's hardly going to put a dent in a 600m loss. Missing the CL will exasperate it to a far greater extent.

They must have thought they had enought with Messi

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

On a side note, what did Jeff and the motley crew of idiots say about us?

To be fair Merson did say we were fantastic against Chelsea.

 

[catcherintherye]

Poch for me - he is a simple manager & I mean that as a massive complement. Lots of money to spend sensibly & hungry players is a dangerous combination.

When you reflect on Pep to date, it's arguably a massive opportunity lost. Can you imagine they had invest even half the billion he has spent better. The likes of Haaland, Van dijk, and many more really should be there. Instead he has spent another 100m PA on average full-backs

One cavaet would be Arteta. It seems to have got awry somewhat after he left. I wonder if he gets brought back if/when he's sacked at Arsenal.

Pochettino would be a good choice. Nagelsman done very well in Germany too.

To be fair Merson did say we were fantastic against Chelsea.

He seems to have warmed to us for some reason

 

[MikeH72]

Isn't that like everyone though?

More so for former managers and players, because there’s a good chance some Liverpool fans know where he lives or other personal information that has been dug up by the cult from when he was there.

Clinical from Liverpool, some quite outstanding goals and superb finishing. Shocking from Palace who were wasteful in front of goal while conceding by the half dozen at the other end. One result doesn't make a big swing, just as the seven conceded at Villa didn't, but it's looking ominous now.

I just find it impossible to think of a credible challenger, City are laughable - no chance. Spurs might grind out a few results but won't get near now. Chelsea, even Frank admits they aren't near. United have two in hand and could conceivably get within two points, no CL may help if they forget the Europa, but that looks a very long shot.

The lack of any credible rivals spells out who will win it

Guess its up to Carlo.

Same with Bournemouth, they loved the pats on the heads for “Having a go” and getting beat 4-0 every time

Bournemouth were terrible for it. I hope they thought it was worth it at the time now they’re in the championship. Maybe they should have tried harder for some of those points.

 

[JMT]

If they win the league without Van Dijk and other teams can't capitalize on that then fair play to them tbh.

An stop buying there cast off for ridiculous prices

This was always the most likely outcome. Liverpool to win it in the early 80's points mark.

Someome could come from left field to win it and put a run together, but it's theirs to lose. Wider trends are against them, older squad, becoming more injury prone but they probably have enough to get over the line this season.

I mean, still a long way to go, Southampton and United won't be easy.

 

[Azza]

Zaha put on another stellar performance against a top side I see.

 

[catcherintherye]

It was a free transfer?

His wages were very high though.

Feck 'em is what you really wanted to say...isn't it?

 

[Death]

Seriously hate teams changing into a different kit when they don’t need to. Capitalism can pish off.
