Nah and I think they'll go far in the Champions league. Won that and only lost the league by a point last season and have stepped it up this time without playing well..
Long as dont take our home run but that's few seasons away yet...

Who's going to beat them?

They have the bit between their teeth which City didn't have during their dominate period. Our home record is safe on the other hand.

No one. That what saying they're not losing this season and I dont see them losing in the Champions League either.

They coped with both last year so can cope this year. Unless injury but even then they have a strong squad to fill in gaps.

OK, my mistake then.

I thought you were disagreeing.

1 defeat in last 59 league games

they had around 1000 passes this game, most ever in the EPL era for them

[Vesper 29,202]

I do not see Matip getting his spot back, Gomez is fully back on track to WC CB level

he has insane pace which Matip doesn't have

8 clean sheets out of last 9 games, all comps (only goal in that span was 1 to Monterrey in the FWCC semi final)

tracking to 110 points out of 114

full calendar year now since a league loss

Kane has suffered a tear in his hamstring. No word on how long he will be out for. 

IIRC, Spurs used to cope well without Kane, when he's injured, under Pochettino. Will be interesting to see how they fare now without him under Mourinho...

Another thing for Jose to moan when they have bad results then

Tbf they played much better as a team without Kane. Also Kane is a big game bottler.

If you want to know why Victimpool is IMHO the best team in the world

all you have to do is look at my all world best XI at this exact instant in time

 

GK Alisson (Oblak 2)

CB Van Dijk 1 (Koulibaly 3)

CB Varane 2 (Laporte 4, when healthy, if not then Skriniar)

LB Robertson (Alaba 2,and of the rest of top 5, other than Chilwell, 2 more are ALSO on Bayern, in Lucas Hernandez (who is injured and plays at CB now mostly) and then the teenage explosion, Davies)

RB Alexander-Arnold (Kimmich 2 and then the biggest drop off at any position, it is truly crazy the difference between 2 and 3)

DMF Casemiro (only because Kante is no longer used there, but IF he was Kante would be number 1) (Fabinho 2, and arguably 1)

CMF Frenkie de Jong (Saúl Ñíguez 2, de Jong has been immense for Barca, unlike de Ligt for Juve) Kante as a CMF is not even close, sorry

AMF De Bruyne  (then the biggest gap between 1 and 2 with Kai Havertz probably holding on to 2, but barely, he desperately needs to get off that fucked up Bayer Leverkusen team, Bernardo Silva is close, but is played more at RW atm)

LW Mane (Neymar 2, JUST nosing out Sterling)

RW Messi (Salah 2)

CF Mbappe (Lewandowski 2)

 

 

Bindippers have 5 number 1's and two number 2's

Barca 2 number 1's

Real Madrid  2 number 1's

Shitty 1 number 1, and a number 2

PSG 1 number 1 and a number 2

Bayern 3 number 2's

Atletico Madrid    2 number 2's

Napoli  1 number 2

Bayer Leverkusen 1 number 2

 

put that together, add in Klopp, and it is not a shock at all that they are doing what they are doing

The truly terrifying thing is that I really think Klopp make make a move for Saul (who can play LB if needed too, but might be gone elsewhere, who knows and has had his RC lowered to 85m), Havertz (who is German and is not having the greatest year so a bit lower in cost) and Werner in the summer, all 3 will cost around 200m and he has spent shit so far for the past 2 windows and has insane revenue coming in, especially if they win the CL again (they basically have the EPL wrapped up and you know they will be a monster in the FA Cup)

I do NOT see them making a move for Sancho, too expensive for what they need

they already have a RW backup coming back from loan, in 22yo Harry Wilson who is know worth well over 30m

they also might make a move for CB Diego Carlos from Sevilla to replace Lovren, especially if they do not land some or even miss out on all 3 above

Would Chelsea fans rather have  Tottenham to win the League and going unbeaten instead of Liverpool?

Jose to win PL with another club, we will never hear the end of it. Basically it's the end of the world.
