    Liverpool are the reigning league champions and are unbeaten at home in over a half century of games, what way do you think he's going to approach it??

    It'll be a cagey game and I wouldn't be surprised if it ended 0-0.

    i dont know. right now, i think he'll start pogba and bruno with fred.

    depending on results in the interim, that may change.

    The Guardian has a piece on 3 Spurs players Lamela, Reguilon & LoCelso pictured at party over Christmas breaching Covid restrictions.

    West Ham's Lanzini was also pictured at the party.

    Lamela issued an apology.

    So the Spurs Fulham game could have been called off because of this.

    But we know it was called of because a number of Fulham players had covid. Fulham had to cancel another one yesterday.

    The Times reporting that KDB is set to reject City's new contract offer.

    If you’re still wondering about Utd’s setup then you must not watch them a lot. Counter attack is what they’ll do all day long. Like what they did against Villa, Wolves and every other team they’ve played this year.

    You obviously didn't watch the recent Wolves game if you think it was United counter attacking.

    Should be a good game tonight, would expect a pool reaction after the recent poor run of results away from home. Klopp will have them fired up should be an easy win with Thiago involved and bringing new dimensions to the midfield pivot.

    A good game does not equate to an easy win! Unless you're a Liverpool fan of course

    Yeah easy win for Liverpool tonight, suspect a similar result to when they played Wolves.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,011 ✭✭✭brevity


    Getting some reverse jinxing in nice and early.

    Wolves was at home, this is away. Very very big difference there.

    not this season - home advantage has been much reduced

    Not for Liverpool!
    7 wins out of 8 hone matches.
    2 wins out of 8 away matches.

    For Liverpool the difference between home and away is massive this season.

    Obviously I'm a neutral... Liverpool can still have an easy win and be a good game, like they used to pick teams off regularly early last season some of them performance were quality to watch.

    Can you be neutral when you support a team in a title race with Liverpool at that moment?

    Yes you may have been a neutral in previous seasons as United were not in a title race but they look to be theresbouts this season.

    As both teams stand now united maybe there abouts liverpool but we wont be at end of the season. we are in a title race if we still on touching distance with 5 games or so to go but we not even at halfway point now.

    As the great man once said you cant win a title half way through a season but you can lose it.

    United fan saying they are neutral when Liverpool are playing.

    Don't think so. Works both ways of course.

    But maybe I'm just too sceptical.

    Technically I'm neutral but my stomach might not feel the same ;)

    Great start by Southampton.
    Will make it interesting.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,779 ✭✭✭✭jayo26


    Thats just sublime finishing.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 36,190 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc

    I'm in no way a neutral when it comes to watching Liverpool play and want to see them get beaten but I am a bitter Man United fan


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,758 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    Mad start, looked like a hook cross to me based on where he looked after connecting but considering how many goals he scores compares to the rest of the team maybe it was a shot.

    0 goals in last three games then score inside 2 minutes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,107 ✭✭✭Liamalone


    Liverpool playing in blue, weird.

    Your posting history indicates that you are more anti Liverpool than a Manchester United fan, that's fine, we all have our problems but no need to say you are neutral.

    Ings has been a fantastic signing for Southampton

    Really brilliant. Was a gamble considering his fitness issues, but it's really paid off. Seems a really sound fella too.
