If you ain’t looking forward to Man City vs Liverpool because you’re still stressing about yesterday, a title chase just isn’t for you

Come what may, we’ll either be 4, 5, or 6 points clear at that close of play

Enjoy the game, enjoy being top (pray for a couple of injuries 🤣)

The more I think about the Slavia Prague game, the more I think Mikel got it wrong.

With so many injuries, we should’ve prioritised one competition over the other.

We can afford to drop points at this stage of the CL phase but you can never afford to drop points in the PL.

Had low expectations going into the game, they got even lower after we went 1-0 down.

Think the inability to make any attacking substitutions really hurt us.

Need to get some of the good lads healthy & quickly.

Yeah. Everything is cyclical and everything evolves. The problem is that everyone thinks their way of playing is the right way. And that opinion must be heard.

Football isn’t the problem.
Football discourse is the problem.

Think I’ve come to terms with the fact I’ll never fully understand what Mikel Merino is….
November 4, 2025 at 7:22 PM
Honestly, how has football got itself into a position where penalties are awarded for shit like that.

I know it’s in our favour but it’s total bollox really.

If Gyokores has taught people anything, it’s that you don’t need the ball to influence the game.

Play the Haribo lad up front,,,, get him running the channels & working the opposition defenders.

I don’t wanna see Merino condensing the play

Everything Liverpool do is frantic….

They need to calm the fuck down when they get the ball….

Take a breath and they’ll probably score a couple.

That would’ve been an eye opening 2nd half for the lads who don’t rate Gyokores.

This generation of CF has broken people’s minds.

Give me the bloke who doesn’t give a fuck about the ball and only wants to get in-behind.

Those sorts of CF are worth there weight in gold…

A fair bit of game management going on here but the downgrade from Gyokores to Merino is extreme.

Burnley look far more comfortable now they don’t have anyone running in behind and moving their CBs about.
November 1, 2025 at 4:31 PM
Gyokores always looks livelier when he hasn’t played midweek.

Looks more mobile, agile and hostile today.

Brighton playing a back 3 against us…..

Ive been saying for a while this system could be a problem for us.

Looks like opponents are starting to clock on.
Yep. 3-5-2 might be kryptonite for Mikel. We didn’t play it the same as United but lost too many 2nd balls and got out numbered in MF.

Palace created fuck all but they always had an exit ball (just like United did)

Something to work on.

Still - 3 glorious points and a clean sheet 🔥
Very interested to see how Mikel sets us up today.

I thought he got his tactics all wrong against United’s back 3, can’t afford to make the same mistakes against Palace.

When boring is good & good is boring.

*Set-pieces - What? Why? Where? When?
*Are Spurs fans fucking stupid to criticise Tommy Frank?
*Is 3-5-2 Mikel’s kryptonite?
*Have Liverpool broken the space-time continuum?

+ waffle

For the set-pieces are ruining football mob…..

These 3 hits (GOTM worthy btw) are classed as set-piece goals.

Absolutely delighted with that result and performance but I’ve come away from the game very miffed about Eze….

I know about how good we are defensively, I know all I need to know about Zubi & Gyokores

The one I want to know about is Eze, and I’m really underwhelmed so far.
