So where was that special City style in the last 3 games?

I don't think they played that bad. Everton had only one chance the whole game and city had 2 penalties and one goal.

My point is that a few weeks ago City were about to walk this league. And now they are not that good at all. The title race and top 4 will be so tough this season..

Nah they won't walk this league because Epl has plenty of good teams and city is not a super team like Barcelona or RM. 

However I still think  they will win the league because  I have watched maybe 4/5 of their games so far, and they haven't played  badly in any of them except maybe their 1st game

Something is wrong referee in Epl. How in the hell that was a red card for Granit. If that was a red, we are going to have at least 2 red cards every game 

I didn't see it live, so I don't know where the referee was, but my first reaction was that it was cynical, he had no chance of winning the ball and he kicked out at a player that had beaten him. Then you get Barrow going down the way he did. It looked worse than it was.

im guessing it'll be successfully appealed.

The red card in the West Ham was dodgy as well. Never a dive and should've been a pen!

Oh it was cynical and it was intentional but I thought it was more of a professional foul.  He didn't swing it violently, it was just a bad call imo

I'm sure Barrow's reaction didn't help the case when it happened live. I totally agree with you.

Jose Mourinho under investigation by the FA

For today's game I'm predicting 3-0 to the scousers. Firmino and Klopp masterclass. Jose for me is just too old and weak tactically to beat Klopp

[Fernando 6,374]

I think Mourinho likes to play Liverpool. So hopefully it's a good match. 

[Tautvix 1,321]

It's actually Jose's type of game because everyone thinks Liverpool will beat Man Utd easily.

I'm hoping for a score draw here. We need to gain ground on Liverpool but I don't want manutd to overtake us.

This season is so annoying, we are competing with Mancity, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Manutd for a top 4 place. So we need two teams to drop off for us to get in and only manutd seem to be the ones who are not playing well so far. At first I was thinking that just beating the smaller teams as we've been doing so far could be enough to make it, but it seems we need to at least not lose to our competition to make it. In the past seasons, Arsenal could lose to the big teams and still make it but now I'm not sure that will be enough.

Harder now than ever before to get champs league. Hopefully tottenham collapse late in the season and Manutd flop so that we sneak in. 

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Not exactly world class teams, but this season been amazing so far. 

Very competitive, I love it.

Several teams who are doing realy well. I always hated Pool and Spurs and still do, but I actualy respect and like Klopp and Poch. 

Gonna be interesting to see who comes on top. City is perhaps just a tad stronger than the rest, but still not too strong.

While its alot harder for us to win and come on top, I like other teams like United, Pool and Spurs present a good challenge nowdays. It will make us stronger, because we will either need to improve big time or let them walk over us and I think thats not in the plans.

[lucio 5,369]

can't wait for tonights game,,, luckily the title race is opening up , many teams (including us) 1 win away from going top.....

[xPetrCechx 13,546]

A draw can be a nice result.

[iceboy 992]

Should be a good match 

[Leif 6,006]

This might end up really funny.

[KevinAshburner 1,270]

I have a feeling that LiverPissyPussyPool will win 4 - 1 or 4 - 2 against ManChestHair United. 

 

Death to all the other 19 Premier League Clubs.

Fuck all the other Premier League Clubs.
