Premier League 20/21

I say this with the benefit of hindsight, but Liverpool would be in a better place if they'd stuck with Henderson and Fabinho in midfield and trusted their young centre halves.
Mind you, you'd think they were the only team ever had an injury!

An injury...............

It's a squad game nowadays, fail to prepare, prepare to fail

Count the injuries MR2 when ye get a chance. Add 3 from the last matchday alone. First 4 (four) choice centre halves out. 3 for the season. But aye fail to prepare blah blah

The possession and control in that game was enough to win two games. Injuries didn't lose that game

But we were talking about squads and failing to prepare or something....

Failing to replace long term injuries in January is poor by Liverpool, playing your best midfielder in  defence when they have real defenders is another mistake.

But anyways, long may it continue

What do you do when a third of the squad is injured?

Well January was only recently so you bring in players during that transfer window, and play them? Release your better players like Henderson into his main position.

Man City players love rolling around screaming .

Poor goalkeeping by Lloris on both Manchester City goals.

Just give City the trophy, there is absolutely nobody catching them.
They have been most impressive this season.

A game like last Sunday that heading towards a 1-1 draw until Allison chose to intervene again.

it was heading towards a 1-0 to be fair. That VAR call could have gone either way IMO.

Lucky it wasn't a penalty instead of free kick. VAR rarely overrule the on field ref when not a clear and obvious error.

True it could very easily have been given as a penalty, but a penalty isn't an automatic goal so my point stands.
On your other point though VAR did overrule the officials for the goal as the linesman had waved for offside didn't he?

Onside/offside decisions are regularly overruled. Less so penalties when on field refs gives them.

Klopp looked like a broken man in the interview I saw afterwards.
A lot of people online taking glee in it.
Can't be easy on him losing his mother and not being able to grieve properly and not being able attend her funeral. He is only human after all.
Why must some turn everything into a ha ha lol look at him situation. Some very odd and screwed up people out there.

Anyone that takes pleasure in the loss of a parent needs a good beating.

Tottenham were top of the Premier League, five points clear of a City side languishing in ninth position, the last time these two teams met in early November but their trajectories have been diametrically opposed ever since and this mismatch merely reaffirmed why the gulf - in quality and points - is now so great.
Victory moved City seven points ahead of Leicester at the top of the table, with a game still in hand, and 17 clear of Spurs, who, after a fourth defeat in five in the competition, are watching their Champions League hopes fade by the week. Too much more of this and Jose Mourinho's job might also come under threat.

Didn't City have about three games in hand over Spurs back then?
