polishgenius Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Well over full in the old topic so I figured I'd start one to carry us over what is gonna be an absolutely hectic Christmas period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Chelsea drop points, City drop points, Spurs drop points. It's set up almost too perfectly for a United disasterclass tonight and Sheffield United's first three points of the season. ETA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Having our midfielders healthy will be nice and will hopefully give Jones a break and take some pressure off of him. He’s been so good wouldn’t want him to get burnt out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soylent Brown Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Aaron Ramsdale is not very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 When is Wilder gonna realise that teams have worked out the high-line, overlapping-CBs trick and are just gonna lay the ball in behind whichever CB is looking to break all day long?

Consigliere Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 A bit surprised that we actually managed to take full advantage of other teams slipping up. We played some good football at times but this is yet another game where we started slowly and gave away cheap goals. The opposition don't have to work very hard to score against us.

BigFatCoward Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 So if Man Utd win their game in hand they go second, I thought they were shit now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Meanwhile in the Bundesliga. Dortmund with another loss, this time to Union Berlin, but alas more headlines for Moukoko. First Bundesliga goal in his second starting XI appearence. Obviously youngest goal scorer in Bundesliga history. Dortmund should be better after the winterbreak, with Meunier and Delaney now returning from their injuries. Meunier and Delaney should be vital, as they provide a bit more experience (and backbone) to this team. Also in January, Haaland should be back in action.

Soylent Brown Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Mane has been completely useless so far, perhaps he's in need of a rest more than Salah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soylent Brown Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Keita has been shit so far too. Not sure what his excuse is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soylent Brown Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 That's more like it from Mane. Completely against the run of play - Palace have been battering us for the past 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 It’s not been a terrible a performance, obviously being 2-0 up, but there’s not really any control. The last couple of years if we’d gone up early against Palace the game’s pretty much over but it’s definitely not today. I’m not entirely sure continuing to try and play this ultra high line without Van Dijk and Gomez is going to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soylent Brown Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Well we all know that the game isn't over at 3-0 against Palace, so hopefully we get a few more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Jesus it wasn’t perfect but that was well above average half for an early away start especially considering our away form this year. Firmino seems back to his best his first touch is insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firmino seems back to his best his first touch is insane Yes, early start and an away game against a side who have been very difficult to beat. And after a very tough midweek game where no subs were used. It’s great to have run up a lead like this considering we’ve not been at our sharpest at converting chances (Jota aside). It would be nice to manage the game now and shield the defense more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iskaral Pust Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Nice to see Bobby looking sharp again, and good to have some earlier subs to rest tired legs. It would be nice to get Matip off too since he was just out with a muscle problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 So, yeah, my concerns about Liverpool's control of the game didn't age too well. Once the third went in Palace looked done. Having said that Palace did look pretty threatening until that point. I think we're better served to just try and put teams to the sword rather than expecting to grind out 1-0 wins at the moment. ETA: The repeated shots of Sadio Mane absolutely fuming on the bench as he thought about how many goals he could have scored was quite amusing.
