Another issue is that in the past, during the difficult phases of those tough games, they normally had midfielders or defenders scoring the important goals when the front three couldn’t. Now, all dry out in front of goals.
That says more about Twitter than anything else. Weird place.

good spot!Yeah, definitely.
Think of their behaviour after the title win last year. Mass celebrations for weeks on end, Klopp and Henderson giving loads of interviews, fans and Pool pundits calling themselves the best team in the world, the mass drop off after lockdown when the title was secured. None of this would have happened under a winner like Fergie. He, and dressing room leaders like Giggs, Scholes, Keane and Neville would have made everyone strictly adhere to the one day celebration before getting back to business right away. This is the attitude you need to win leagues year in year out. It’s no shocker that Fergie won 13 in 21 years.
My ass will it. Actually, yeah, if we, City or Leicester win it, the * will come with the caption “Didn’t have fans for any home games, unlike a certain lot who had a 2 game advantage”.
The drop off after lockdown could have happened under Fergie. From memory there were quite a few times that we took our foot off the pedal and coasted over the finish line once it was obvious we were going to win the title, which is one of the reasons our point totals weren't as high as they could have been some years.
Ok, so based on that our title win last season shouldn’t have a * next to it in your opinion?
I'd agree with that last sentence........if I had a clue what it meant.
Meant them carrying it on to this season as well. We never dropped below 3rd in any of Fergie’s seasons after winning it. If we started slowly, he’d either give them a rocket or find another way to boost performance level, like when some were sent for surgery in 2002. He knew how to win leagues every year. And this is ignoring his greatest trait - rebuilding every four years, going from great team to great team simply by blooding youth and magnificent recruitment. This is why we won leagues, and I hope Ole can bring it back.
Honestly, I signed up to the Caf in June right after you won the league, and you can check - I never said there should be an asterisk next to your name because you had the 20+ point gap. As I said though, at the end of the day, football is played on the pitch, so whoever wins it this season has done so deservedly. Just that considering you Scousers had two games each with fans, maybe there actually should be an asterisk next to your name this season if you somehow do it!
Only a matter of time, la.
We were so close to 7 in a row.
You can bet Mourinho is kicking his lips at the thought of having a chance to further prolonging their pain.

Trying to reverse jinx. Or hope Klopp gets fired up by his and Souness words
Burnley were hanging on for quite a while though. I think they will start winning games soon enough, question is whether the gap is now too big though?
If we win it after an unprecedented long break in fixtures, or we're randomly allowed fans in our stadium when others aren't, then you might have a point.
But we’d basically won the league before it all started going into lockdown. We didn’t even have to kick another ball in the end because of City dropping points.
Of course you understand that my completely unbiased opinion is the opposite.
I responded to someone else’s comment about it, that’s all.Man, I’ve seen you post this various times since Burnley turned you over. You must be hurting hard.
Yeah, definitely.
but my point is that he is the former, long-serving player of pool, one of several who pool supporters regard as the legend of pool. I think he was their vice-captain as well, right?
He is really knee-jerking ...
