    @MajorRage we probably need to drop a bunch of the wantaway players and follow Chelsea in playing the yoof. No sense in holding on to guys who have mentally checked out

    you can see why Eriksen isn't a happy chap.

    I'm pretty sure our wage structure is such that he, and others can earn a lot more elsewhere. He will be free to walk in the Summer and I think any club that wants him will be happy to wait. He wants to go to the dumpster fire that is RM. He recently reportedly turned down a new 200,000 GBP a week deal (??!!?!?), but Jack Wilshire gets 400K a week so you can see the problem

    Online sources have Wilshere at 100K per week - there's no way he could command 400K per week, that is Alexis Sanchez territory.

      Clearly the person that told me that was talking out his arse then! Would fit in perfectly here 🀣. I think a bunch of our players are infected with what Pat Riley called the disease of me. The success that we've had has made them look at greener pastures (and rightfully so). Some of our players might be going downhill now, the art is to sell these guys before you feel you need to, and reload with fresh players who inject new energy into the squad. At least three of our first team players will walk for free in the Summer

        Another interesting weekend - Liverpool finally drop a point, Man City get back on track without playing a single centre-back, Chelsea keep on track as do Leicester, the Arse lose to Sheff United (a very Arsey result) and Spurs are lucky to scrape a draw with Watford.

        The VAR continues to baffle all - not a single ref has chosen to run to the sideline to check a monitor even though it is available to them. Penalty decisions are never overturned even for clear hacks (Spurs v Watford) although a goal was disallowed for a minor unintentional brush (Leicester v Burnley) and offsides are measure to the millimetre but not handballs if there is a question of shoulder or arm (Spurs v Watford) - when it was probably both shoulder and arm given the size of a football.

          Football is really doing a great job of fucking up implementing VAR.

            @Cyclops Can't stand it myself. I watch mainly Serie A football and some of the decisions there are bizarre. Aston Villa were robbed of a goal against Brighton because of it as well because of a Matt Ryan howler which somehow turned into him getting fouled!

            Think the game would be better off without it.

              Frank Lampard doing a cracking job in making Chelsea great again.

              On a great run of away wins, and then last night come back from 4-1 down in the CL to draw 4-4. Granted a couple of red cards in there ...

                Liverpool beat City to go 8 points up

                Over Leicester and Chelsea! City drop to 4th

                Sheffield are 5th! But that is where the mid-table mess starts, with 3 points separating 5th and 15th.

                For all Liverpool supporters, this now turns in to a 26-game stress as they try and maintain this massive gap. You know City are going to go on a streak at some point.

                Some mad stats on Liverpool's 50 games since the start of last season. games lost = 1. Points dropped = 19. And they still couldn't win the title.

                  @mariner4life Liverpool now has a run of mid to lower table teams through to Christmas, while Man City has a run of tricky fixtures.

                  I'll be surprised if Liverpool aren't further ahead of City by Christmas.

                    Has the PL ever been decided so early?? Even at the height of Man U in the late 90's early 2000's??

                    Ever multi you put on should land on Liverpool to win as a % boost

                              It's November. There are 26 games to go. Nothing is even close to being over.

                              Yes, Liverpool have a nice gap, but there are soooo many points on offer still.

                              The next 5 games could be telling though.

                                Mid table mediocrity for us this season. Already resigned to it after the board came out and back Emery. We are a shambles

                                    Who knows? Happens to most clubs I guess. Look at Man U now, Liverpool in part of the early 2000's.

                                    Just some rubbish decision making. The thing is we will likely lose our two best players if this keeps up

                                        Feels like a post Wenger power struggle. I think Gazidis has gone now but he was clearly maneuvering to set up Misinlat as a director of football. But after Gazidis left Misinlat started losing influence, leading to him leaving as well. Emery looks to have all the cards now but can't really play them that well.

                                          What date did Liverpool have an 8 pt lead last season? πŸ™‚

                                          As to Arsenal, Emery still hasn't addressed the biggest problem - defence. If signing Luiz was the answer I don't know what the question was!
