he is tracking to his second best season ever

and if he scores 35 or so, his massive eassist totals (surely he ends with well over 20) may put this one close

 

the crazy thing about 2017/18 was he only played ONE total domestic cup game out of a possible 8 to 10 or so

He wasn't Liverpool's main PK taker either (Milner was).

It is just sickening that we had BOTH de Bruyne and Salah and moved them both on

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

3 6

Diaz also on a hat trick

[Vesper 29,019]

can you think of two more disparate types of matches than ours versus the vermin toffees and then this one?

[Vesper 29,019]

Best players to grace the league in recent years. Neither Mou or Conte want to take the blame for the latter despite both playing a part.

The one player (from that bunch) we bought back.... Lukaku 😔

only second time in EPL history that spuds have shipped 6 or more goals at home

the other was when we beat them 1 6 in 1997/98

well

the title is deffo Pool's to lose

arrrrf

we simply cannot afford to drop those 9 points so far and hope to catch them

[Vesper 29,019]

the only good thing is that 5 or so times (not sure of the total) Pool have topped the table at xmas

and they have only won the title once

Arse have almost as many times at the top at xmas and lost the EPL title every time

Yeahhhh unless something crazy happens it's theirs. They're too good

"This is the sixth Premier League season in which Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has both scored and assisted 10+ goals (2017-18, 2019-20, 2021-22, 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25); the most of any player in the competition’s history (overtaking Wayne Rooney’s five)"

Spurs fans demonstrated before their latest loss yesterday...price increases, and removal of ticket concessions compound their grief.

The Spurs chairman has spent over £1bn on transfer arrivals since the club last tasted silverware - the EFL Cup in 2008.

 

-with their fourth permanent manager in five years, they still languish in the bottom-half of the Premier League table as we approach the half-way point of the campaign.

Spurs picked up their eighth defeat of the season against Liverpool, as they suffered a humiliating 6-3 loss.

They lie in 11th place, eight points behind Nottingham Forest in fourth, as they potentially face a third consecutive season outside of the Champions League next year.

• Mikel Arteta: “Raheem Sterling will also be out for weeks. He’s suffered an injury, it’s his knee. He will be assessed again in the next few days to understand how long he will be out for.”

• Mikel Arteta was asked if was now going to make any January signings after the injuries to Bukayo Saka and Raheem Sterling: “My intention right now is to get the best out of what we have… I’m putting some ideas together, we will be doing new things as we did when Ødegaard was out. Gabi has played there, Nwaneri and Trossard… also Havertz can play there. We will talk internally and see what’s the best solution,” he told reporters.

I didn't ask that nor mention it. City are going through a period that we have NEVER experienced over the past two decades.

Pep is a genius according to maresca. 

I believe the same he is unique and change global fútbol. 

Haters are going to hate but pep is for me the best manager ever. Hence this dip is unique and hopefully he decides to leave because they will be back next season if he stays.
