Are we the most entertaining team to watch in the league?

    Liverpool remind me a bit of the arsenal team with fabregas at the heart of it a few years ago. We could always score goals but we leaked them at the back in ridiculous circumstances, it meant it was always exciting, entertaining football but you were always on the edge of your seating waiting for the defensive mistake. Lots of attacking to cover defensive frailty. Great for the neutral, heart attack inducing for the fans!

    I'd say liverpool, arsenal and Everton are probably the most entertaining but city string together some fantastic attacking football at times.

    We are on a different level when you watch games like west ham v manure. That was little more than championship quality other than rooneys goal which was so out of character with the rest of the game. Oh and fellainis embarrassing diving...tosser!

    Yes you are. BY a comfortable distance the best team I have seen us play this season. Difficult to say how much of it is down to Rogers' philosophy and how much of it is down to opposition defenders s****** themselves at the sight of Luis Suarez which creates space for other players - but then its not a criticism to say you have one of the top 5 players in the world in your team...

    I agree the lad needs lessons of young and janusaj. It was an awful game no question but ours was a bit weird, we passed it for about 5 mins before goal.... 4 or 5? I lose count now there are so many ha ha. Then we switched off.

    It'll be interesting to see what a good pitch slows us to do v sunderland

    In short yes, we concede loads and score loads, great for the neutral, ****ing stressful for a Liverpool supporter and given we concede a few and still win, soul destroying for mancs

    They have the full package. On and off the pitch they are great value for entertainment.

    I also find terrible defending anything but entertaining <ok>

    Like I said, fair enough!

    Guess Mourinho is good for entertainment value. Not fond of their away tactics against the "big" teams but it gets the job done I guess.

    Chelsea won 6-0 and it was still sleep inducing <ok>

    Even Boreeen couldn't get excited until the Salah goal....he leaves early every game to get an espresso to wake himself up a bit. When the managers speeches get talked about more than the football then you know how dull the game was.

    Nah just correctly pointing out that having one of the worst defences in the league doesnt make you entertaining.

    Your attack is great but your defence is the complete opposite.

    The suggestion here is because we can attack but not defend to save our lives that must make us entertaining. It does, in the car crash sense of the word but I would much rather see a well balanced side who are not awful at the back produce good attacking football than one which defends like San Marino.

    If I am honest, no PL team plays entertaining football right now, most of it is teams trying to correct mistakes.

    Nope. Its pretty poor stuff this season. Compare it with a few years back when english sides were dominating the CL and it has fallen away quite a bit.

    Think about it, your doing well. That tells you everything.
