Not surprised at result at all, called it a few weeks ago with my mates after the Chelsea match.
Liverpool need to get their act together, had enough chances to win two games.
How did Gakpo miss that header  :o

Quote from: Brendan on October 19, 2025, 06:32:41 PMLiverpool really need to get their season back on track next week against Brentford, more tough fixtures after that with the form theyre in.

Mad to think the crying from fans about the Owners being tight and when they've finally opened their wallets its been money wasted

The Isaak effect, bad purchase when Ekiteke was ready to lead the line and started well

Did Liverpool really  need Isak? Sure didn't they  already buy 2 or 3 strikers in the  summer?  Things aren't right since he  came aboard

I'd say they weren't expecting to get Etitike and Isak but I suppose the way it worked out they probably couldn't not sign Isak when the chance was there.
I don't think Isak is the problem anyway, it's the form of Salah and McAlister and a few others from last seasons title winning team which is a bigger problem.

Quote from: Captain Obvious on October 19, 2025, 06:38:10 PMUnbelievable Jeff.  Liverpool's greatest ever Premier league team and a defending champion team losing at home to one of the worst Manchester United teams.

A month ago they were telling us they'd have the league wrapped up by Christmas.

Gakpoo nearly missed his goal.

Isak was always the number 1 target I reckon, maybe they were getting vibes it wasn't going to happen so signed Hugo instead. Then the chance came to buy Isak so the money was there and they went for it.
As someone else said I don't think Isak is the issue, I never heard of this Isak effect before also, what does it mean?
Salah is a shadow of the player he was last season, Wirtz hasn't settled as the well as they probably expected. The full backs haven't fitted in and Bradley doesn't seem to be cracking on.
Konate while ok today has been terrible most of the season.
A lot of issues there to sort out. Saying that they should have won today but it's just not happening for them right now.
Nordie Tayto is shite

Look-Up!

Enjoyable game today. Very open and both teams left a few goals after them. Some turnaround for Amorim. Buys him a bit of space but can they build on it as there's been a touch of the two steps back throughout his reign so far. Liverpool out of sorts. Salah just in the way at the moment. Spell on the bench might do him no harm but Isak looks very ordinary too.

Arsenal be happy enough. Very solid team but Christ that game yesterday was as boring as anything I've witnessed. City and the big Norwegian on a bit of a roll at the moment but I'm not sure that squad will hold up in the hard spring months. At least I hope not.

Very congested table from 12th up. There'll be plenty of opportunity to leap frog for anyone puts a bit of a run together.

At the bottom, poor old Wolves. Not a particularly bad team but not getting the rub at the moment. As for Forest, what a shit show.

Look-Up!

Dyche new Forest manager. I wouldn't be confident of him lasting the season. Some craic if he's gone by christmas.

West Ham manager (ex Forrest) could be following him at this rate, Brentford handy win
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

They don't do London derbies at moment although not sure if Brentford holds any significance to Hammers fans. Shite at home too. Think all their points are away so far. Nuno definitely has his work cut out but might be given more leeway than that other psycho gives.

Certainly are, late winner away to Chelsea.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Is there still a soft spot in Ireland for Sunderland?
