Jesus is better than any English player. Really wish we had signed him.

Lol, Klopp has been heavily affected by Loserpool mentality. His rant when they lost Draxler to PSG shows how pathetic he has become.

Damm, what a shit coverage from Zouma. Completely lost Giroud there

Double agent Cech there!

Talk about a stealth free kick lol

Oh well, this beautiful thread again!

Exactly. Of course we are totally capable of winning and we shouldnt go out there and simply give up on attacking, but it is super important we dont revive Liverpool. I hope Conte asks his players to always be prepared for a counter and not go all in on corners/set pieces. As well as not letting Luiz go on his crazy attacking adventures. Lets be a little more safe than usual so we dont risk losing.

Playing with the rules to your advantage doesnt mean you are a coward. To the contrary... Trying to go for the win just for the sake of it might be quite dumb. It is way more important to not lose and give Liverpool 3 points than to win. It really, really is. There are appropriate times for being courageous and bold. This is not one of them.

Its his last name. His full name is Gabriel Fernando de Jesus. And thank you. Although Im just here since im on vacation and prob will go missing again once my last year of uni resumes and Im trying to find a job lol.

For some reason I believe he was only joking. Idk tho, if he was serious that is a good response and its how I view things as well. Also, apologies in advance if John1611 was serious...

Fuuuuuuuu... Its true, didnt realize it before. This could be great, takes the weight off our shoulders for thoese 2 derbys. Playing light is always good!

People, please learn the rules before starting a discussion. THERE IS NO ADVANTAGE FOR PENALTIES. Even if the play ends up in a goal, the correct thing is to give the penalty. I dont care what anyone thinks, that is the rule.

Dude there is no advantage on pen...

Dude that reply is so unnecessary. it is obvious no one can say how many points one will need. However, history does show a consistency on how many points the champion usually has and that is what coaches and fans work on...

Yep, pretty much what I think. Bar the unsual 2012 table where City and United both finished with 89, all other years you could win with 85-86. I reckon it wont be different this time. Obviously 88 would def seal the deal (like Fulham pointed out), but I still believe 85 grants us the title. Winning tomorrow will be HUGE as it would leave us with 55 and 10 wins away from reaching our goal. Plus the fact it would put immense pressure on our rivals. Im confident!

How many points you think we need to make in order to win it all? 85? So 11 more wins? I find it pretty doable to win 11 out of 17 imo. Even if we lose a couple of big matches against City or Liverpool...

Probably Spurs will indeed have their best season ever as their record is a 72 point campaign. However, I doubt Liverpool will surpass their 84pt second place in 2013 with Brendan Rodgers. Nevertheless, I agree we will win the league!

Anything but a Tottenham win. City is relatively far from us, has UCL to worry about and will fluctuate a lot due to players still adapting to Pep's style. Spurs are a much bigger threat this season. They are out of UCL, are more consistent than any other rival we have atm and are being lucky with(out) injuries.

Damm, this back 4 is atrocious! I like Pep, but geez. He is trying hard to lose...

Holly hell, Kolarov as a CB? LOL https://twitter.com/ManCity/status/822843720429146113/photo/1

Pep is still an excellent manager, people are always too eager to jump the gun. He has taken really shitty decisions at City, its true, but that doesnt discredit what he has already done. Guardiola revolutionized football tactics, anyone who knows a tiny bit of football can see it. He created variations and player distributions on the pitch that no one thought of doing before. Yes, he had the fortune to have Xavi, Messi and Iniesta who were capable of putting all of this in practice. But his greatness is unquestionable. Period. However, others have already figured his shit out, managers nowadays know very effective ways to counter Pep's style. He is not the king of the hill anymore. Specially in a so well trained league. EPL is full of top, top coaches. It is obviously he would have a harder time. So, yes, Guardiola's season is terrible and he is mostly the blame. But that doesnt mean he is a fraud nor that he is an average manager who had luck and nothing else. He can very well recover from this and evolve. He still deserves the benefit of the doubt for all he has done. At least 1 more season.

WHY JUVE, WHYYYYY? YOUR CREST WAS SO COOL!

I am looking at the media coverage from Manure x Loserpool and they all saying Liverpool lost 2 pointa and blablabla, but am I the only one who thinks United played much better?

The simple fact they are waaaay better than the majority of the teams that make the UCL every year. Plus the fact UEFA would generate more money if more bigger teams made the cut. People dont want to see Besikthas (no offense to them, its just and example) instead of a Manchester United with Ibra and Pogba. Or do you really think all those teams from Eastern Europe are better than City (for instance) who is currently out of next year competition?

They changed to 5 for next year. This year 2 clubs will still miss it. Well, thank fuck that stupid Platini is out of the picture and with him all those obscure teams that used to get in thanks to politics. To your second point, this just proves how dumb this system is. 2-3 teams can carry an entire league, even if all the other 17 teams are usually shit. And worse, english teams cant allow themselves to focus on UCL because that probably means missing out on next year's competition. Like City now, they could easily start focusing on UCL if it wasnt so hard to finish top4 in England. Anyways, it was just a sideways rant. No biggie as I am sure we will finish top 4...
