    First time Pep has ever lost four on the trot.

    Still sticking with my prediction of Brighton top four this season.

    O’Riley back and scores on his Prem debut. He looked far too good for the SPL, be interesting to see how he does going forward if he can steer clear from any more injuries.

    The main question is:- are Spurs going to be Crystal Palaced by Ipswich?If we are,some players need to be let go sooner than later.

    The three Bs - Brighton, Bournemouth and Brentford- are traditionally lower league teams and do not have the support and resources to go toe to toe with the top sides. You’d mark them down as immediate relegation candidates when arriving in the PL. Yet they are all playing dynamic, progressive football and all three must be in with a good chance of finishing in the top half

    That’s a superb counter.

    Was like Jose’s Madrid style ones.

    Bailey “lucky” Nunez went onto score too, otherwise I think that’s a red card.

    The fact that they have significantly better bankrolls than Bolton, Blackpool or Barnsley does play a slight role in their being able to be competitive, as that's what allows data-based scouting instead of the old model of cobbling together a team of journeymen and superannuated ex-Man Utd or Arsenal players which was followed by the likes of West Brom every other season

    Think they should check the H T refreshments at the American Express stadium

    The ref seem to signal no foul I guess because Salah was off balance. Looked a likely red to me though if Nunez hadn't scored.

    A certainty I'd have said, especially at Anfield in front of the kop! Took it well, though missed a couple of much easier chances later on....

    Despite being so poor, Utd are only 4 points off 3rd place!

    It's like the universe is looking to convince them to stick with van Nistelrooy

    ...for at least 18 months longer than they should have

    We could spin that the other way. Many of the traditionally ‘good’ teams this season have been poor, and probably quite a few of those even more poor than United and yet you’re still only in 13th having played no traditionally big club away from home. Arsenal haven’t played well once this season really for example. City haven’t really played at all for quite some time. Spurs haven’t consistently properly got going yet. Villa are stop start. Newcastle have only just started playing well.
