    Actually, having looked at the table (assuming all results stay the same which is by no means a given because it's only Half-Time), there may well be 3 teams on 29 points, joint with Spurs <yikes>. Didn't realise that it was so tight!

    Just wait until the master tactian is allowed to spend some money to improve the team - then he'll destroy everyone!

    Norwich's league form since October: LLLLWLDLD.

    Prior to today, they'd scored 7 goals in their previous 9 games.

    And just as I type that, United pull one back! <doh> Hold on for it Norwich!

    Leicester back in the lead against Everton. Wow. Still can't believe how well they're doing, it's mental.

    3-1 now. Okazaki.

    Blimey. Our 5-2 pummelling of them is looking even more impressive as each game goes by! <laugh>
    Especially as it's been their only loss of the season.

    You really have been incredible this season, and to think the stick rainieri got when he started! Who would have guessed you'd take the league by storm?

    I think I've fallen in love Leicester, i'm really hoping they can go all the way because stuff like this *shouldn't* happen anymore in football.

    Liverpool 2-0 down in the space of 15 minutes!

    Some really horrible defending from the Scousers here.

    There's no point hammering City and Chelsea if you're then dropping points to the likes of Newcastle, West Brom and Watford. Although I accept that these aren't Klopp's players and he has to work with Brendan's squad, some of the defending on show has been so amateur. Defensively, Liverpool look much worse now than before.

    Sounds like a pretty shocking performance from Liverpool, it's now 3-0 to Watford and almost fulltime!

    Soon Sturridge will be hoping he never gets fit and has to play in this team!

    A crazy, crazy league table at the moment - not only are Leicester currently 5 points clear, but Palace are joint 4th with Watford just a point below them in 7th! Liverpool are 5 points off the top four in 9th while Chelsea (of course) are in 15th position, their highest position for awhile.

    Very happy we've already got nine points from Watford, Leicester and Palace away. Glad not to be playing them in the middle of their impressive runs.

    Ighalo looked a donkey when we played them, don't know where he's come from... Still earning me a bucket load on fantasy football. Will turn cack again soon I'm sure...just another Gomis outscoring his true ability against unprepared defences.

    Liverpool made him (Ighalo) look like Aguero today. He absolutely ran their defence ragged.

    Loved the way the amazing Sakho kept sitting down when Ighalo or Deeny got near him :grin:

    Klopp has a lot of work to do in all seriousness. Whilst he's managed to get some fantastic results, that good work has been cancelled out with poor results against Palace, Newcastle, West Brom and Watford. People can point to the fact that he's got to work with a squad that isn't his, and it's a valid point to make, but struggling to break the aforementioned teams down is certainly his fault. Starting games with no recognised centre-forward is his fault. Starting games with the likes of Lucas and Firmino, who have both looked very poor when I've seen them play this season, is his fault.

    Next season will be the best time to assess him, but 1 point out of 9 from fixtures against Newcastle, West Brom and Watford is unacceptable.
