Least they have a crisis due to injury. We have a crisis of just being a bit crap.

[Special Juan 27,597]

I'm not sure what is worse, thinking about Liverpool possibly wiing the league or reading the fucking massive love in for Man United after yesterday.

The media couldn't be any further up their arse

This is why we can't fuck up. Imagine. Liverpool winning league and Man U going from nothing to finishing top 4.

Performance

Manchester City favourites for Premier League title

http://www.football-observatory.com/IMG/sites/b5wp/2018/246/en/

 

Issue number 246 of the CIES Football Observatory Weekly Post analyses the pitch production of big-5 league clubs during the first part of the current season to highlight if they have over- or under-performed in terms of points achieved. The findings suggest that Manchester City will beat Liverpool in the English Premier League title race.

Manchester City achieved so far 5% of points per match less than expected according to its pitch production. Conversely, Liverpool obtained 15% more and its results are supposed to decline in the second part of the season. The over- or under-performance were calculated according to a regression model built on the 2016/17 and 2017/18 seasons including shots on target, ball possession and shots conceded from the box. The data comes from the specialist company InStat.

In the other big-5 leagues, the pitch production of three out of four teams at the top of the table should allow them to lift the trophy: Barcelona in Spain, Juventus in Italy and Paris St-Germain in France. However, in Germany, the analysis suggests that Bayern Munich will outrank the current leader Borussia Dortmund. The data for 27 further European competitions are available on demand. More data is also accessible in the exclusive CIES Football Observatory Performance Atlas.

1-0 City.. Don't mess this up! 

[Vesper 29,288]

What a pass by Laporte, he is at same level as Luiz when it comes to passing. Soooooo wish he had pulled him a few years ago. Broke my heart when Pep gobbled him up.

[Vesper 29,288]

nasty tackle, deserved red and red given

[Special Juan 27,597]

Ederson might as well fuck off home, games was dead even before the red card.

Time to turn it off.

[Laylabelle 9,426]

Liverpool fans moaning is quite funny. End of the day salah could've been booked for diving before the City game.. Didn't happen so be thankful!

Great young manager, I think he gets picked up within a month or two max
