    United's lack of ambition against anyone half-decent will cost them any chance of winning the league this season. Have they won against any of the 'big six' yet this season? All this hyper-defensive shiteball is playing into City's hands, sadly, and perhaps, to a lesser extent, Mourinho's.

    I'll take that. The 4-0 looked on for the first twenty minutes, but after that it was pretty even and United had the better chances.

    This must be Liverpool's worse form since about 2017. They dominate possession and look like losing every game.

    You might be right if you needed ninety-plus points like in recent years; but whoever wins it this season will win it with about eighty points, so you can bore your way to it with these sort of results.

    Doing it in 10 games puts you under a lot of pressure to basically win all the others. Can see it being sub-80 this season though, unless City just saunter off with it.

    Mind-boggling why we don't buy a CB and run away with the league. Fucking Thiago being asked to play deep is such an offensive waste.

    Yeah. I think it's actually Henderson's ability to connect the midfield and front line that has been missing the last few games, he's not even very good at center back so no idea what Klopp's playing with there. We'd be better off training Wijnaldum to do it if he weren't such a midget.

    Gini's running and ability on the ball makes him more valuable than Hendo in midfield. Get Matip back for a long spell hopefully and send Thiago up and we'll beat the shit. City give us some space in behind and we'll beat them too but they're big favourites.

    Very much so. He was toilet all last season too (one home league goal all season). His defenders will say he isn’t in the team to score goals (you’d think he gets a million assists, but no), but if none of the front 3 are scoring goals then he seems especially useless.

    We were the only team trying to win that game and had the best 2-3 chances. It wasn't the same as when we played city.

    The game was utter shit, but a draw away at one of the chasing pack is a good result.

    I didn't see that much of the second half but in the first Alexander-Arnold seemed to be having another shit game and Shaqiri is a waste of space.

    Firmino needs replacing with someone who can actually score which I suppose is what Jota is meant to do, just a shame he's injured.

    Has Matip ever had a long spell?

    When you bring Origi on with five to go then you know you're settling for a point. I realise we have had injuries at the back but I'd say it's our front three that are more cause for concern and given it's unlikely we're going to make any moves to bring in cover anywhere, I'm not overly optimistic that we'll retain it at this rate which might seem strange given we're right in amongst it. It's just not clicking at the moment and far too many below average performances.

    Inter Milan will undergo a name change, switching from Football Club Internazionale Milano to simply Inter Milano.

    The move, designed to reflect a closer connection with Italy's capital and give the club a clearer and more modern global identity, is planned for March 9 - exactly 113 years after the club came into existence, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
    Am I missing something here?

    Written by a PR man for the real reason of allowing an international audience to understand the name better. Probably why we dropped football club from the badge years ago.

    In (possibly) less cynical news, we've loaned out Danny Drinkwater to 15th placed Turkish outfit Kasimpasa.

    And to think I thought the Drinkwater to Chelsea move was a strange one. Glad to see it worked out well for all involved.

    Thomas Partey looks like another 50 million pounds we’ve spent on an Arsenal player Wenger could have got for 5. I’ve absolutely no idea what he does.

    I’ll never forgive this lot for Pepe. Just so obviously going to fail.

    Replace 'not okay' with 'baller' and 'okay' with 'waste of space'.

    I don't mind Partey, he's just a BLM Xhaka.

    Partey isn't supposed to be the second coming of Vieira, he's a tidy anchor man with a decent passing range who will form part of a solid spine if we stop buying Pepes.

    You don't spend £45m for water carriers, they're ten to the dozen in every academy. You can get away with it if you're City (see Rodri) but not when you're a midtable side.

    Does the US football coverage feature loads of advertising based around THE TROOPS or is that just on NFL coverage? When I watch stuff on NFL network it's mostly army, pickups trucks, fast food and telling you what drugs to buy because your idiot doctor can't be trusted to prescribe you the most expensive medicine.

    That's definitely a lot more prominent for the NFL than soccer, which is probably the most liberal of all sports audiences in the US (or maybe just behind tennis).

    The BBC do that. I’d imagine they then use the clicks to justify why women’s football is more relevant.

    I would back him and James to cause significant problems for whichever mugs Leicester have down that side, which should unbalance the pitch as they try to cope and let their old boy Chilly in the other way.
