    Vardy top scorer with 14 puts Leicester in 1st place
    Lukaku 2nd top scorer with 11 only puts Everton in 9th place
    8 places difference
    Or 7 teams with worse strikers than Everton still above them

    That is exactly what I mean by "doing a Lukaku"

    See also last season's 11th place finish

    11 League goals soft lad, suck it up

    How's that £30m Brazilian forward you signed getting on? Oh yeah the sum total of 1 League goal :( #flop

    Ah, so it's the same as "doing a Suarez" in 2012/13. Second top scorer for a club in mid table.

    Well I'm just glad Liverpool fans were as down to earth about Suarez back then as you are about Lukaku now <ok>

    Yep. 10 fewer goals. Still above you in the league. How does that work?

    For every other club, when you have a top striker you are near the top of the table. Not the case with Lukaku.

    There are some similarities. Suarez was also talking about moving to a CL club like Lukaku now. Henry didn't let him go though.

    On the other hand, Suarez was banned for most of the season.

    So your defence is still **** as soon as you show any attacking intent. So what exactly has been inproved over 18months?

    (Haven't read comments yet).

    Last night our defence consisted of a lad making his debut at right back, a right back at left back, a left back at centre half and a centre half who subsequently hobbled about injured for the last half hour. By which time we already had another young lad making his debut at full back.

    Ever considered arming yourself with some information before entering a discussion?

    A RB who played LB but could have easily continued at RB. Your 2 usual CB's this season (1 hobbled for 10mins not 30mins you dick - by which point you'd conceded atleast 2 **** goals) and someone who was making his second appearance who could have easily had Young in his place.

    Better?

    Smalling was injured from the 70th minutes onwards, you dick.

    And the other stuff you describe that could have have happened didn't so is ****ing irrelevant.

    It was a makeshift defence. Our defence isn't now ****, as you claimed, as it wasn't really our first defence.

    By 1 whole point.....

    Bent refereeing is the answer by the way.

    A dodgy pen at home to Swansea gifted you 3 points instead of 1 and 2 bent decisions vs Bournemouth gained you all 3.

    18 points is your real total - 14th

    By a point, with most of the season being left to play, and our start to the season being so bad we sacked our manager #perspective

    You want to #bet we won't finish the season more that 1 point above you?

    BTW anyone know why Mata was taken off? He's one of your best players in general, and on the night.

    Did Powell even touch the ball in the end?

    Fck knows. Literally. When you think we were playing arguably our most important game of the season, I certainly couldnt understand why Powell was brought on. Mata should have stayed on but if he was going to take a punt, he should have gone for Pereira.

    You ought to finish streets ahead of us given the £311m that gnashers spent ffs.

    Is that all the faith you have in Herr Klopp, 1 point ahead of us?
