    Yeah spoon it over the top for the quick lads to chase.

    If teams sit deeper and try and reverse the tactic on you lot, then with the lack of pace in your CB area, you'll get caught out.

    ... just as Leicester appeared very comfortable containing United apart from one moment of class from Lingard (after a fortuitous ricochet from Okazaki gave him the ball rather than any guile or finesse in a build-up) before the offside goal from Ibra ... would have expected far far more from a team that cost hundreds of millions to assemble plus the daft wages they are likely all on ...

    We didn't turn up, the players tanking to ensure that Martinez got the bullet.

    You are a kick and rush side, nothing wrong with that like, but it is what it is.

    Absolute bollox I'm afraid Tobes !
    No doubt equally, you also think Barca's first choice defence is gonna be torn to shreds this season, judging how they were ripped apart by Musa and Schlupp ?

    Fosse agreed with me like....

    Morgan and Huth had the season of their lives last year, no chance they'll repeat it.

    Feel free to vault me on that prediction.

    They don't play kick and rush in Spain. They were dizzy in your game as they kept looking up.

    ... so much so they were horizontal when they played you, the poor buggers ... as the Mainz result also showed ... expect a season of inconsistency for 'pool ... they might win the odd 'cup final' (United Everton in the league - not actual finals - Jurgen doesn't do that <laugh>) ... but they will also get turned over just as much ... might be another season without European footie to look forward to methinks ...

    ... I take no pleasure in that ....

    That's bottom of the barrel there Fossy.

    I do believe you're copying @Hoddle Is A God

    I'm sure he'll take great pleasure in that.

    Easy now Fossie mate , this is the footballing gods that is Liverpool, they are one of the Sky 6 ffs !
    Will finish in the top four because they play the best flawless footie you will see and because they are the mighty 'Pool , are steeped in history thus have a God given right , don't you know #feelingsofgrandeur <laugh>
    In all seriousness , anything other than top four Klipperty should be toast !
    I can see the headline " KLIPPERTY FLOPPS" <laugh>

    The first ever Champions that would be happy to finish top 10 the following season.

    You couldn't make it up.
