    I think a ‘circuit break’ would really help us now. Ralph needs to work on our attack!

    So once again a putative rule that favours teams with a strong bench i.e. the richer sides.

    Yep, looks likely we need a break.

    Apparently the premier league has no plans to have a "circuit break" and it's not even being discussed. But yet tonight's game has been called off.

    They might not have a choice if infections increase and more games get called off .

    Don't think a circuit breaker is needed. Just keep testing and calling off games when required.

    A second yellow for Fabinho at some point here would make Monday night incredibly interesting.

    “What's the point in all this possession if you're not going to score? Liverpool need to stop letting negative teams get in their way. “

    A quote from the BBC text on Newcastle V Liverpool - I reckon that is a Saints fan :)

    Liverpool may win this yet, but they’ve drawn with Fulham and WBA. I so wish those of our fans moaning about our last two games could understand that nothing in football is a given and no team “should” do this, or “should” do that. It shows little understanding.

    We’ve now beaten 2 of the teams Liverpool could only draw with. That must mean something.

    12 goals in this round of fixtures and five of those were scored by one team.

    I’ve said for years there are too many games in December and early January.

    It does rather defeat the purpose of stacking games around the festive season 'for the supporters' if they're all dreary affairs between exhausted teams.
