A little premature, but I sure like the form Liverpool is in.

Slot continues to impress.

I am impressed with Slot so far.

I wouldn’t write them off just yet. They’re still probably the most talented team in the PL. But this definitely feels like the most precarious position they’ve been in during Pep’s tenure.

I can't help but wonder that it isn't a coincidence that this huge dip in form began right around when the smoke around him potentially leaving got real thick. They've continued to suck after he signed the extension though.

Very early on but I like what Amorim is doing with United. Amad and Hojlund look great and even Rashford looks happier.

Love this time of year when we have matches seemingly everyday

I've had luck lately live betting a pre-match favorite that is not in the lead once you get a good chunk into the game. Just did that with Real Madrid.

Welp, that one is not hitting.

Everton had gone over a month without scoring, and then somehow scored four and had another disallowed with me in attendance last night. Hope I’m the good look charm they need for Saturday.

I didn't get to watch live and was disappointed Liverpool dropped points, but man the Newcastle game was exciting.

Salah's performance is another giant middle finger to Liverpool's front office as well. Absolutely have to find a way to keep this man. All he does is score goals and facilitate goals.

It's wild that they supposedly haven't even made him an offer. Not that he got an offer and they're lowballing him, but no offer yet period.

I wish Kasey Keller had never played for the Spurs so I would not have adopted them as my team.

 

[NorCalVol67]

I have now been to Flannery’s in NYC twice for a Spurs match. In both they went up 2-0 and lost. Guess I can’t go there anymore.

One of the two was a legit penalty.

We could talk about Caicedo’s studs first tackle halfway up Sarr’s leg too…

lol @ David Coote

Weah cross to McKennie for a sweet volley to put City away today. 2-0 Juve!

 

[bleedorange0037]

I still think that Pep is unsackable, but I’m beginning to wonder if he makes it to the end of this season without simply walking away. This run since the end of October, 8 losses and only 1 win from 11 played, is completely unprecedented in his career.

I still want to think City could probably sleepwalk to a top four finish if they tried, but even that's starting to look pretty suspect.

If anyone can blow a 4-0 lead to a terrible team…

Something has to be amiss in the locker room there. Do they know what the FFP penalties are already or something?

SMH. As if fixture congestion wasn't already a thing. Maybe they can get Greg Norman to come consult and help eligible teams choose which competitions they want to participate in. For as much as Madrid win the Champions League, they sure seem to want to be not in it. Wouldn't shock me at all that Perez just looks at it as leverage with UEFA and they want a bigger split of UCL TV money.

Is it just me, or does it seem totally lost on the organizers of these proposed competitions that there isn't really a demand for them? The only way this moves forward is if a benefactor wants to bankroll this themselves and doesn't have a profit motive, a la LIV. Who actually wants to watch this?
