    Scoring directly from a corner is probably negative 100xG. I'm glad the way we play mate has a chance to win a trophy. He should get it done.

    Gary Neville's momemtum-o-meter on Sky had it right. United looked better in the first half, but chucked the first one in and then faded a bit towards half time. Then they went to bits. Then Spurs went to bits. Then he went to bits every time Spurs took a short goal kick. It was disarray all round.

    Been made aware of this which is surely a lovely chance to troll, if you can get something to slip through the undoubtedly lax quality control?

    Hit me with your best lol and I’ll see if it’s worth Ł100 of my money.

    I'm sure we were meant to have similar outside of Anfield, but then the constructor went bust and the plans were revised. Unsure if they're in yet/will be at all.

    There is isn’t there was outside the main stand on the corner with the Anfield Road? I’m sure there’s bricks in the ground with people’s names on.

    There’s the ‘Wall of Champions’ outside the ground/club shop. I only know this because my wife got a picture of myself, Baz and our Dad added.

    You can see the issue. They just cannot press with these midfielders. Foden and Grealish can't defend and Haaland just doesnt bother trying. Gundogan and Kovacic don't have the legs to run players down. This was fine when the best player in the world was behind them to mop up, but he's not there now.

    Interesting one against Wullie’s boys today.

    We hadn’t noticed that it had been moved to 12:30 for Sky until about 11:45, so my mate had to get a cab from Chichester, only to discover the driver doesn’t take card & neither of us have any cash or any way to get some.

    Managed to get it resolved & arrived just about a minute before kickoff, only for us to concede in the first three minutes & almost go two down because for some reason we were playing the Spurs line with a CB pairing of a 33 year old CM with no legs & our fourth choice CB who we’re trying to loan out in Jan.

    Thankfully their keeper had a moment of goalkeeping incompetence similar to the sort you’d see from your mate at the park, diving over a very saveable shot, and that pretty much turned the game, with Cov not really doing much else going forward & us pressing them to death.

    Callum Lang obviously MOTM, but Ephraim Mason-Clark looks pretty interesting out on the left for Coventry, like Harry Aikines-Aryeetey with 5 star skills. Cov fans were really good too considering the result, but both sides would probably agree the officials were shocking - the Coventry goal was probably offside & the linesman on that side didn’t seem to have any idea on a few decisions. Felt like the ref was randomly blowing the whistle at times too, particularly in the first half, so hopefully we don’t get Dean Whitestone & crew again for a while.

    Not surprised to see Saka finally get what looks to be a pretty bad muscle injury. 250+ games at 23 in England is utterly mental. Arteta should be blamed as well, plays far too often.

    You could say the best players want to be playing every week (ie Ronaldo and Messi) but most of them aren’t doing bleep tests down the touch line all game like Arteta has him doing

    While I could compile a fairly sizable list of awful goalkeeping performances I've seen, Brad Collins from this game would now be at the top. If he's still starting on Boxing Day ahead of the Swedish international on the bench Lampard's growing bald patch is where all the sense is escaping his body.

    A good examination of title credentials today. Chelsea should be top by the time we play. They seem to always win at Goodison and the only thing that may stop them is the weather making football tricky.

    Then it's just the way we play mate. We could go 3-0 up or down in this game and I have no idea which. It could also then easily finish 4-3 the other way. You just don't know with Spurs.

    What? You have literally just made that up. Chelsea never win at Everton - 5 losses, 1 draw and 1 win in the last 7 years. They’ve only scored 2 times as well

    Whoops, thought I was looking at the results from a Chelsea perspective and not Everton. Though this is probably the best Chelsea have been in those 7 years.

    Just to be clear, Chelsea have zero title credentials. If Liverpool don't win it from here they should close down or start playing another sport.

    So coy.

    Neither of the two up there really had any title credentials at the start of the season.

    Good to see things going well at Man Red again

    Yeah I think it's nonsense to say they arent in it, nearly halfway through and a late goal here puts them top(points > games in hand). Though I understand it. I struggled through a lot of the Klopp era with the scars of having been nowhere near it. To find yourself back there after so long is strange and you wait for something to go wrong.

    Point up there isn't a bad result.

    Man U actually need Moyes now, which is up there with rain on your wedding day, a free ride when you've already paid and frankly a few other things too.

    I’ll never forget the absolute suck fest that Ange received on his arrival.

    After the Man City game, Jacob Steinberg took 10 minutes out of his day from celebrating palestinian kids getting bombed to turn up on Second Captains and said with a straight face that Kulusevski was the best player in the league.

    Agreed, I think he’s a very good functional player. He’s a 8/10 at all parts of the game and can give you that consistently. He’d be perfect the role we have Merino playing in. Saying he’s the best player in the league is madness.
