    Liverpool not looking good at breaking down Chelsea’s 10 men ……

    Chelsea are defensively very good which is why many consider them favourites

    Question for @tomw24.
    Firstly, I haven't seen the incident but the live text report said the ball came up off his thigh. If that is true doesn't the handball then become irrelevant (similar to the "penalty" not given to us against Wolves (I think) last season?)

    Not when there's a deliberate move of the arm to the ball. Otherwise whenever the ball hits a defender, they could just punch it away.

    James moved his arm towards the ball, making his body unnaturally bigger, therefore the fact it came off his thigh first was irrelevant.

    If anything, despite the the two dropped points, that further cements Chelsea as a real title challenger. To get a point from Anfield, when playing with 10 men for more than half a match, is no easy task.

    The application was much more inconsistent last season

    I love Poch (as you know), but PSG were idiots moving Tuchel on. He's an elite level manager, even though he is taller than his face suggests. Leonardo really is a tit.

    Problem is fitting two huge egos into the same dressing room. With luck, United will misfire.

    I’m starting to think people do it deliberately when they know they are going to post a screenshot - because it gives others anxiety !

    I'm starting to think that my daughter is posting on here undercover. I swear her battery never gets above 5%

    I giggle there were rumours we were in the running for him at one stage.

    I bet the prices won't come down and you will still pay handsomely for the season ticket.

    I may be in a minority, but I really don’t want to stand at football. Maybe it’s remembering the early 80s and what it was like, but give me a seat any day.

    To be fair, it’s probably my age too :)
