liverpool are so lucky, they always find a way. but at least it works in our favour. lead in 4th extended.

Liverpool beating all our rivals is a good thing also cos when we go to anfield they already willl be champions. They have been waiting for the first PL title for ages so my guess is they will drop the intensity a bit, rest players for CL so that is where we will pounce and take the 3 points there.

Hopefully by then we wouldve had 4th sealed up...or least a hope still..many more games in between now and then. I dont trust any game we play until it's over lol.

I'm sick of lucky undeserved Liverpool wins! How many times this season? :rant::rant:

But that's why they're so high above the rest. Undeserved but still got the win. 1 draw is insane.  They keep going and it pays off

40 unbeaten is also insane!

I am the first one to call out bullshit that goes their way, but that was not an undeserved nor lucky win

they ground it out against a good team on the road and didn't panic in the least when it was levelled

then stuck the dagger in for the kill

What a turn around in fortunes for Wolves this season. They were awful in the early stages and people already started calling Nuno a fraud. Now they're back to their brilliant best. They, like Leicester, may lose to the likes of Liverpool and City but can compete with anyone.

Raul Jimenez is surely a £80m+ striker now and I can see numerous big PL clubs testing Wolves for him soon. Both Manchester clubs namely.

Wolves could easily score more, that last chance was all on Jota being clumsy.

he turns 29 at the beginning of May though

so not a real long term option

Yes but funny how he has better numbers in the PL than in Portuguese league. Actually he started scoring regularly just last season and is already 29 soon. If you want similar player but much younger and cheaper I think Mitrovic is the guy.

bid issue with Mitrović is he hardy been a beast at EPL level

Championship yes

but not in the EPL so far

I am not saying he cannot be a decent EPL striker, but sure would love to get him in on  loan first

SMS is obviously the top Serbian player atm (for all his faults) but if I could snap my fingers (if offered the option) and swap out Barkley for Filip Kostic, I would do it in a heartbeat. I think he is a great and unsung player.

Ironically SMS and Jovic are not in starting 11 for NT most of the time :lol: but we always had weird coaches...

Filip Stevanović 

OGC Nice wants him pretty badly

21 goals in the PL in 5500 minutes. Basically averages one goal in three games while playing for relegated teams only is solid. Not for top teams of course but could easily be first striker for someone like Palace or Burnley. Definitely better than Batshuayi.

Yeah I heard he's going for around €15m. Pavlovic already sold to Monaco for around €10m.
