Premier League Festive Season (Gameweek 18-20)

So annoying that all the good deals fall through like Grealish, Bellingham, Haaland, Kane etc, while all the shit ones get over the line. Saying that, they’d probably turn out shit either way, but it’s hard to see how we’d be quite so bad.

Frenkie De Jong last summer was a massive miss aswell. You seemed to go after him for months convinced he'd just quit Barca in the end. He has a similar profile to Odegaard and mid 20s.
 
Barcelona used it to good enough effect with Messi in his later years and it won them League titles.
It was not a complain. All I was saying was that there is this opinion that Liverpool under Klopp play this amazing passing football (which they did the title winning season and the season before and after that) but right now it is not the case. It's more a case of working towards trying to get Salah into a situation where he can weave his magic.

It's pretty easy on the eye. The quality of the long ball from TAA is usually exceptional and their intensity to win it back if it goes wrong it's great to watch.

Sure maybe they're not pass masters but much better to watch this than pep ball
 
The atmosphere at West Ham seemed flat and at Anfield too.
 
Nice to see Jamie Redknapp got dressed up for the punditry.

Looks like he’s in his fecking pyjamas. Melty faced knob.
 
Not sure what's the point of Havertz. Kinda get McT vibes from him.
 
Virgil quite clearly asks the ref if he’s been drinking.

Not seen as dissent.
 
Did VVD just ask the ref if he’s been drinking?
 
Hate the way Neville just creates a way to play at Anfield and if you aren’t doing that you’re doing it wrong
Plus this is the downside of Rice, he gets attracted so deep that the other midfielders get swamped since they’re outnumbered when being pressed
 
When did Konate stop being a sicknote?

I remember Adnan used to rave about him and Upamecano and both could not keep fit at the time. They've both since moved on and now almost never get injured.
 
We only have Kiwior to bring on for Zinchenko. That's a bit risky but it needs to be done quick...
 
Another big game where Rice is absolutely useless. Zero ambition and going backwards without even looking forward.
 
I can see Arsenal nicking this. The type of back and forth suites their wingers to a tee and I can see one of those or Odegaard putting Liverpool to the sword.

Liverpool on the other hand look like they won't do much. Diaz is off form and Salah hasn't been good besides the goals.
 
A late winner here is about as nailed on as in the Madrid game the other night. Both these teams love a late finish.
