I want to say something .
Man City lost 9 games last year/ guardiola with images of his hands on his head - he's been found out bla bla . signed a new contract came second and now top of the league today
- arsenal lose games in double figures for many seasons now
- Spurs have won nothing same as Everton and I can't remember what Chelsea have won the last few seasons

- yes it's rubbish watching lfc today but maybe 3 years in a row of that front 3 who should be 2 x league winners might have run its course - but it's okay maybe a long time on the bench can help those guys at parts of the season
Yes we need a change but not massive
Maybe 6 players plus our players back

Origi shaq an ox could be sold
My idea would be:
A right back
Centre back
Mid
Forward

Maybe it's Liverpool turn to have a bad run but it's not disastrous - we have Come from 5th to winning major cups and catching city who spent 500 mill on defence alone

Perspective folks . it will be good again soon.

The problem is we are totally skint and no cl will not help.

05 Mar 2021 09:48:25
Then we have no excuses not to go hard on the league
And rest those players for the fa cup and also try to win that

Every year there’s a chance to win the league or domestic cup
Europe can rest easy that lfc won’t be there it’s a chance for others then.

I don't pretend that I am any football expert, but even I can see we need change. If it was up to me, I would rest Trent and Robbo for the Fulham game. Trent can't defend to save his life, and we are too reliant on crosses from both full backs. I think we should put 2 CB's at CB, put Milner and Nico ( or the Turkish guy) as fullbacks, get Fab into DM, play Kieta, Jones and Thiago, and give Firmino a rest and play Jota and Shaq with either Mane or Salah.

I really don’t think Guardiola has had some kind of redemptive journey back to being a genius here. He has a squad of about 900 top players to rotate through while everyone else has been ravaged by injuries and fatigue. He’s made them more defensive and had probably his 7th go at adding a really expensive defender who can actually defend. Not only that but City have always been cry babies who flap it playing in front of crowds, the absence of which definitely suits their test tube algorithm football.

Under these circumstances i’m not sure there could have been any other outcome.

He changed it against West ham with the diamond midfield. Haven't seen that system again.

Mane needs to be rested, he is out of form and just tends to fall over when the slightest touch with another player happens. Plus at the moment he couldn’t score in a brothel! Front three should include jota and salah. Fab definitely needs to be playing DM, with kabak and Phillips as CB. Trent has been shocking, he is always out of position and gets caught out. His defensive abilities are zero. Last year it wasn’t an issue because he was creating lots of chances, now he’s not even doing that!

Yea city lost 9 but came 2nd and weren't playing absolute garbage football.
Its not loosing that hurts its the absolute lack of any playing style focus determination and quality that hurts.

05 Mar 2021 13:12:50
Don’t get me wrong there is now plenty to do since jan
Could have changed formation in jan
Just play defensive
Literally played shaq an origi an other players more often
I get it . but for some strange reason he likes to stick to that same 11 I can’t explain it either

But once we had all those crazy results an injury I knew to just prepare for a crap season an start a fresh

But Fulham are no mugs I don’t know why they are so far down they do look really good and I don’t think licerpool will beat them . sounds strange but I think Fulham are not as bad as their results . while Liverpool deserve their losses.

{Ed077's Note - what is a licerpool🤣🤣

05 Mar 2021 13:39:07
Collective noun for crabs, I think Ed.

{Ed077's Note - or cr@ps😂😂

All Pep did was spend hundreds of millions on defenders and CB's till he got it right with Dias (at 65m) by the way so no genius move there. What he has done is make City more pragmatic and more difficult to counter against with extra work off the ball, something they were not doing in the past two seasons esp last season where whenever they lost the ball, the gaps were all over the pitch.

As for LFC, I really do not know where we go from here cos it seems the more Klopp tries to make stuff happen, the more mistakes he is making a the moment.

They have won 20 in a row with less of a pre season and more games than we have played.
