Lampard at Chelsea is worse. I listen to the bbc football daily podcasts and Frank can do no wrong. Ex-England star doing great things. He at least got Derby to the playoffs so has some experience.

Ole on the other hand has a host of ex-Utd footballers all over the bbc and sky. He also can do no wrong. Utd is too big of a club for Ole to steer. Much too early in his career.

Both will be given more time than should be afforded them.

Chelsea are fairly cut throat with managers. A bad run and he's gone sharpish imo.

Nice to be on the other side looking in at Monday Meltdowns. Had too many to mention here over the years!

I've done worse...I put him in my Fantasy Football team so that's pretty much the end of his career.

No they are not.

What about Cat Mods? Or is it only admins in our folders?

Nor admins either. They are only available to techy guys with very restricted access who query the database, and this will only be done when there is a legal order to do so. That position has been stated multiple times.

I'm amazed someone with Harry's milage here thought mods can read PMs other than their own.

A quick look at the dispute resolution page would confirm this. You will see mods and Cmods requesting PM’s between parties.

Back to actual football matters Keita could be out for a while is the latest news tonight.

Did Rafa do 11? I know Rodgers did. While 12 is the all time record :eek:

Klopp is the quickest Liverpool manager in history to reach 300 points. He's done it in 146 games. Took Kenny 150 to do it in the 80s. (I presume that is adjusted for the 80s games to be based on 3pts, but I read it on the LFC website). Edit: It's obviously adjusted or else it would mean that Kenny won his first 150 games

I have to butt in here. You are either very young and are making an incorrect assumption, or have a bad memory, but 3 points for a win came in a few years before Kennys first stint as manager.

A quick Google shows it came in in 1981. Thought it was earlier

Where are you reading that ? I can’t find anything newer than the club statement before last game. No mention of time past that game.

Maddock's piece in tomorrows Mirror tonight.

This change cost us the league 38 years later

Also goal average would have won it for us in 1989, 14 years too late this time!

garra · 19-08-2019 11:31PM

Crikey it looks like we will see Milner and Lallana shuffling about if any of the primary midfielders need rest or get injured, with Oxlade and Shaq as the wildcards. Was thinking we could do with Keita's energy about the pitch this season, but with 1 game per week for a while we should be ok for a while.

They keep changing the rules just to screw us over in the future

He's getting on now, mind isn't what it used to be...

kingshankly · 20-08-2019 09:29AM

Only two games in and only two teams with 100% record (which will end this weekend) with Utd/city/spurs having three easy matches this weekend vital we put arsenal away the weekend
I know it’s only August but it feels like the run in already 🙈🙈

Yeah, I realise that now. When I posted I had mixed it up with the prem going from 22 teams to 20 for some reason

The offside trap we’re playing reminds me of how we defended free kicks last season. Pundits went on and on about it talking about how we’d be caught out, and every match had numerous posts on here talking about how we ‘got lucky’ multiple times in each game by catching teams offside. Luck has little to do with it, we either catch them off or we don’t and the first mistake will be followed by ‘I told you so’ comments ignoring the 99 times it worked previously. If we implement this as well as the free kick defending there will be nothing to worry about.

precisely.

our analysts have obviously worked out that the odds in our favour that there won't be a goal if we play a high line; knowing that there will be the very odd time we'll get caught. but they've decided it's obviously a better tactic than trying to head the ball away from our penalty spot.

it's the same sort of thing that Pep gets criticised for in terms of how his teams defend set pieces. i'm open to correction, but I'm pretty sure he's said that he doesn't focus a lot on set pieces because he doesn't get any joy out of it. he has made the calculated gamble that if his team presses the ball as high as they do, and control the football as much as they do, and spend their extra training time perfecting that, then they should be able to defend the odd ball into the box.

no team can do absolutely everything perfectly.

murpho999 · 20-08-2019 09:53AM

Regarding the high line, isn't it also something that they will get better at as well with more games under their belt and within 10 -12 games it will be smoother than it appears to be now?

Do people think Klopp and his coaches are stupid and don't work things out?

Boom_Bap · 20-08-2019 10:31AM

Also, it can be managed during a game if it's not working

Also against the likes of Norwich and Southampton its fine, there is nothing to suggest we will set up the same way against Arsenal this weekend.

MD1990 · 20-08-2019 10:52AM

Think the biggest reason for our defensive decline so far is our players are out of form.

Van Dijk probably made more mistakes in the last 4 games than all of last season. He has still played well but has made some errors.

The one that has worried me the most was Yoshida outjumping him for a header on goal against Southampton. Luckily for him, Adrian made a greatly save, and most of the attention went on that instead.

Poor for Ings miss as well.

We dont seem to be tracking runners the whole back 4. Risky.

Getting very worried about Saturday , defensively we look suspect , have not been able to keep a clean sheet so far this season and up against a bang in form Aubameyang .
Its going to be a long week

Alonso77 · 20-08-2019 11:19AM

Anyone else worried about the prospect of being worried?

Not yet. But I am a little worried that I might get worried about the prospect of being worried...

Here we go, so you don't they'll work on that?

Also, you don't think our front three will cause Arsenal's weak defence any problems either?

They've only scored two goal against Newcastle and one against Burnley whilst conceding one. Hardly earth shattering.
