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

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

[Laylabelle 9,407]

And cause theyve only draw one so far they havent come close to losing and dont see how they will.

They'll break so many records this season.

Its crap but they're Champions...in January!

Honestly has someone a clue how to beat this Liverpool side? 
Even Barcelona got humiliated by them with 2 big players missing out
Helpp

Carlo did

Yes but he played like 6 man defense and hoofed the ball. U need insane amount of luck to make this tactic work

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.

They can't have them all -

[Laylabelle 9,407]

Wooooooooooo...and if it wasnt for that game against City we could've gone unbeaten. Nearly made it!

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

[Vesper 29,206]

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  but we always had weird coaches...

this lad looks like he might be a star some day

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.
