Stu_HMFC Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I have went right off watching the EPL lasted 25 minutes watching the Liverpool game last night. It's just boring now fed up with it completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Findlay Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 6 hours ago, AlimOzturk said: Anyone saying Klopp should get his jotters after him winning the champions league and league title need a reality check. The EPL will most likely see Man City/Liverpool/Chelsea and possibly Man U share titles over the next decade. The amount of Money down there make the league incredibly competitive with middle of the road teams now able to take points off the big guns due to being able to sign top players. The difference will be who ever can be the most consistent. Liverpool last year, City this year. No team will dominate for a while IMO The difference in football to now and when i was a laddie. Between 1967-72, Liverpool did not win a trophy. Their manager at the time was a certain Bill Shankly. If anyone of a Liverpool persuasion had suggested back then that he should be sacked. They would have been run out of the city by fellow Liverpool supporters. Anyone today suggesting Klopp should be sacked, should also be run out of the city.

The Old Tolbooth Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 It's pretty much a one horse race now already and it's City's title to lose, no one is coming close this season. Liverpool are 23 points worse off at the same stage as last season, City are only 3 points better off, so it's not like City have improved much at all, but they'll not be caught now for sure as no one else is good enough this season. I wouldn't be surprised if Liverpool beat City on Sunday though, they haven't won at Anfield for nearly 20 years and it seems to be a bogey venue for them, although the 21/20 about City looks tempting!

Tuchel is tightening things up at Chelsea and you could see a pragmatic approach. As for Spurs, Jose is hardly the “come out all guns blazing” type after a poor performance. He’ll more than likely set Spurs up cagily. That would suit Chelsea and they could end up picking Spurs off and dish put a calculated pumping. I could be wrong obviously, but Spurs are notorious for these dips in form and it can be alarming how far they seem to drop off the pace during them.

He’ll either send out a super cautious team to try and prove his critics wrong or he’ll end out a very attacking team to prove how adaptable he is. What you can guarantee though is a totally different defence every match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I just switched channels on the telly and the highlights of the Villa-West Ham game. I wasn’t sure which team was wearing their claret and blue until I spotted a 7 in the strip who was running like a chimp escaping from the circus. McGinn has his uses.

Tazio Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Pretty much what I expected so far. Not exactly a spectacle for the neutral. Also I really don’t like Rhys James.

Tazio Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Mourinho out!! He sets the team out to defend which is against the instincts of most of the players apart from Hjobjerg and you can see that, it’s not what they do. Football has moved on and he’s not and is too stubborn to believe he could possibly be wrong. He’s lucky there aren’t any crowds as he’d be getting in the neck every game. Arsehole.

People saying it’s down to Kane being out are way off the mark. Under Poch Kane was out for long spells and the goals kept coming. FFS he picks Bergwijn ahead of Moura as he’s better at defending. When a manager picks forwards for their defensive qualities it’s all over. Two wins from the last ten matches, most of which included Kane. Mourinho has lost the team I’d say and he’s definitely lost the supporters, he’s probably still there as it would cost millions to get rid of him.

Sissoko at right wing back with Doherty, Aurier, and Tanganga fit and ready. Different centre half pairings every game in a back 4. Different forward line ups every game, and several games with the best performers being the guys that come off the bench. Basically suppressing players natural instincts to shoehorn them into a formation. And Hearts fans more than most know that doesn’t work.

I think that was enough. How a team can lose its way (Spurs)so easily must be alarming to the board? Generally as a sport, this playing from the 6 yard box is becoming so agonising to watch, so bland too, as teams concede possession and put themselves under pressure. You watch Spurs ,who’d have 5 or 6 players in their own half trying to work the ball out, lose it at the half way line time and again as they are squeezed and lack bodies. If it’s not happening, why not push everyone up and go more direct? I only watch games out of devotion most of the time now. Football is becoming bland.

Tazio Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Mason Greenwood really is a greedy wee shite. He’s so obsessed with shooting he never looks up for team mates. A quick 5 yard run, 23 stepovers and a weak shot is the norm, with the occasional one that goes in and we get told what a talent he is.
