Lol commentators going about poor Liverpool because of a few covid cases, getting the excuses in. No mention of the nuke dropped on our squad this season
----------------------------------------------------------------------

That clown Simon Jordan called Tuchel a whiner last week and said he needed to look in the mirror lol

So if by some miracle we beat Liverpool - the scouse bums on here will say Covid did it.

Like always, Liverpool get maximum attention on their (minor) issues, while we get made out to be weird crybabies making excuses even though our squad is falling apart in comparison

Referees and general football media ruin the sport tbh

I am slightly annoyed with us though - we should be going into a proper siege mentality to force the media to talk about it. Make requests to PGMOL not to have Taylor reffing our games, for example.

Tuchel did talk about the wrong decisions last match tbf.

Then got completely overshadowed by the Lukaku interview.

Agree. Club needs to kick up way more of a stink about stuff like this the way the rest of them do

Yes

Oh Arsenal

Cite h

Shambles, City and VAR unstoppable

Draw would be a dream result but reality is City winning was preferable, we lost the right to compete for the title vs Everton imo

Yeah Everton game was when I gave up on title hopes

We might as well end Liverpool's false hopes tomorrow then

City so lucky.

Is it depressing City will overtake our PL titles - yes.

But we are going to have to play a long game - this season might be the learning curve we need before we can dominate like this.

The issue is I think our squad will be worse next season after losing half our defenders. It’s difficult to replace Rudiger especially.

I think this season would have been our best chance of a title win. One of the strongest squads we’ve had, if not for losing half of it.

Arsenal’s loss today all stemmed from a Bernardo dive if Xhaka hadn’t pulled the shirt it wouldn’t have been given, and Gabriel would have avoided the first yellow from kicking the penalty spot.

Then the Martinelli miss just before the 2nd yellow.

I am less convinced - Pep and Klopp won't be here forever and I already think without injuries we have the measure of Liverpool who lack the funds to really go again - so I think we have seen the best of them.

As for City - I think we just need to buy in the right areas, and while Rudiger has been great he is not irreplaceable imo.

With Rudiger it’s his character and charging runs forward, as much as his defensive capabilities.

If we keep Tuchel, and back him, we can turn into a juggernaut like City have done.

If we sack him, then the cycle continues.

I think other leaders can be found - in all seriousness I would much prefer to keep Rudiger and think it would be a difficult and highly expensive replacement, but I don't see it as a title killer. We have had Rudiger during our collapse, we have still bottled points consistently.
