Lighten up, mate - you'll be doing yourself a mischief. All this choking and reeking of fear stuff - it's footie, not The Somme.
We're still top of the league despite being in a dip and being up against arguably the best squad the PL has seen. Anything can happen yet.
It's sunny out, get some fresh air. :)

What a seriously boring game that was!

A lot of pundits are stating this is two dropped for us but I must admit I thought most likely result was us losing so I'll take a point.

Alarming the lack of form we seem to have atm though.

Its just not clicking for whatever reason but we're somehow still top.

Because when we draw with Man Utd it's considered a worse result than Man City losing to Newcastle

Yeah people are willing for us to fall away and we are wobbling for sure.

Its all good predicting where City will drop points but we also have to get ours!

Was disappointing yesterday but we could be in that group below fighting for that last 4th place spot, 14, 15 points off top. Reality is we've come a long way. We've all played 27 games in the league and Liverpool are top.... City have proved they are not indestructible this season so I don't see them winning 11 straight games any more than I see us doing it. More ups and downs to come, looking forward to it.

Is the sensible way of looking at it.

Well it was a lovely day for it. Started with the train I was intending to catch from Warrington being ****ing cancelled, so I had to get the stopper. Got to Oxford Rd at 12.40 and my client was there waiting, so no time for a pint when I got there. Parked up and walked for about 25 mins to the cesspit. It's a great seat with a cracking view (sent Luv a photo). We had a couple of beers, which the client bought <laugh> Match started well and I was keeping a lid on it. A long ball came out to the wing and Milner was after it so I just said "Get there" not even loudly and the **** on the other side of me told me to shut my ****ing Scouse mouth. I just told him to calm down and he said he's put up with me sitting there if I kept my ****ing gob shut. I was well prepared for what I was going to say next, but about 35 minutes in, he got up and ****ed off, never to return. Must have had some drugs to flog.

It was a ****ing ****e game and the scum handed it to us on a plate, but we refused to take it. Very poor with a few notable exceptions in Allison, VvD and Fabinho. We need to be more attacking in midfield from now on and our attack must find its teeth again. However, I fear that was a lost opportunity which could prove highly damaging in the context of this season.

Yeah by the time Shaqiri was introduced we were no longer controlling the game as we were, should have got him on at half time
 
Salah was so frustrating yesterday. First 5-10 minutes he looked like he was really up for it. There was nothing after that, it was like he'd given up trying to beat Shaw!
 
One of the pundits yesterday - Souness I think - said our midfielders have only scored 5 goals this year.

That is surprising and does highlight an issue there.

I'd love to see Shakiri getting a bit more time in the team.

He has that bit of trickery to unlock the stubborn, defensive, small teams like United who sit deep.

Also scores goals as well.

No one can stick one in outside the box it seems too, miss Coutinho doing that when ideas are wearing thin - Shaqiri has that in his locker too.

Yup.

You look at our midfielders and you think great engines, good attitude, understand whats being asked of them, can tackle but don't have the some of the more offensive traits.

I thought Wijaldum might score more for us - he was 1 in 4 for Newcastle, 40 in 109 for PSV but only 1 in 9 for us.

I think Mane is underrated player for us.

If he gets injured then goals really dry up.
