I can't remember a drop off as big as this one, for any side let alone Liverpool. A team that was in contention for 4 trophies up until the last kick.

This team is finding new and creative ways to concede goals..

 

Man City in allsortsa!

Huge few days for United, chance of knocking out Barcelona and progressing, chance of winning some silverware - alternatively the universe could be evil and they lose both on penalties. 

 

Sad news with the passing of John Motson last night. The voice of football for many people over a very long period.

Ouch!

Mind you, my Hammers are headed for relegation unless they get their act together!

They are sticking with David Moyes (for now)

But the Man Utd loss is being described as the worst ever (especially to a rival in Liverpool)

It's a bit like that 7-1 win to Germany over Brazil in the World Cup (in Brazil) Doesn't get forgotten easily

The funniest thing about that 7-1 game was that Brazil had more shots than Germany. 

Liverpool had 8 shots on target and 7 went in, sometimes the gods are just against you.

They certainly were and even the reddest devil couldn't have competed with those gods. On stats and balance I would have said a 3-1 would have made more sense.

This is a one-off for Liverpool though, the high pressing and hard running that we've come to be known for was all back BUT this current team is simply not capable of sustaining it for the rest of this season. Still in the mix for top 4 but I'm fully expecting to have to scrap for every point we get.

Just watched the 'Match of the Day' highlights and on another day, Man Utd might have scored once with their opportunities and maybe Liverpool only 3 or 4 times

In terms of goals scored, everything seemed to go right for Liverpool in terms of deflections and the way the ball was pinging around in their favour ... but they were the superior team of course

Defensively Man Utd weren't good and they got sliced up

In terms of CL spots (apart from Man City & Arsenal) United should be able to consolidate 3rd spot whilst Spurs, Liverpool & Newcastle will fight for the 4th spot

As for the Title, can the Gunners prevail? They are 5 points clear with 12 games to go so there's a lot to play out

One thing I can't figure out for the life of me is why Ten Hag didn't try to get Rashford 1v1 with TAA as much as possible. 

It's weird to look at the table and see that most teams have only played 26 games in early March. 

The games are going to come thick and fast, could cause some crazy upsets?

I think that was part of United's undoing other night, especially against a high octane team! Injuries and some potatoes have reduced rotation for MUFC, they've played 22 games since the WC break, that's a game every 3.3 days and still in FA Cup/Europa etc.

Looking forward to a normal EPL season next year. The stop-start nature of this season (one hiatus unforeseen of course) has made it hard to get any continuity even as a fan. 

@Dee Zephyr@layzie @roy11 @Grapeviney

Big match (Man City vs Liverpool) on at the user-friendly time of 10.30pm tonight.  Straight after the footy - ideal 😃

Next Saturday at 9.30pm sees Man Utd vs Everton

Really disappointing capitulation, did well to score first and keep things relatively even but we were by far the inferior team and it showed in the 2nd half big time. Defence got cut to ribbons, long way off it.

Yes Liverpool started well but Man City then just took over completely.  They are very very good and if they don't win the EPL title then they will see it as a failed season.  Can they catch Arsenal?  Or will Arsenal slip up?

But they are in the last 8 of the Champions league so they could break through and win that trophy

Liverpool's year under Klomp is an absolute head-scratcher!  Self satisfied?  They haven't looked hungry all season

The game was a fair indication of we're Liverpool is at. All the metrics point to them being a mid table side at the moment. All of City's goals were typical well constructed City goals and to think they did it without Haaland as well, might have been 5 or 6!

Missing CL will be a big blow but the way I see it if a team like Spurs or Newcastle or anyone else get's that spot then they deserve it. Liverpool don't have a divine right to CL qualification. 


I think Liverpool decline started when Michael Edwards (Sporting Director) left.

Recruitment since then has made little sense.

Liverpool used to have a robust midfield that protected the attacking fullbacks.

Saw a tweet the other day which said ‘Apparently, in 8 of Liverpool's 14 defeats this season, the left sided forward has been MOTM’.  Poor TAA

Yes Edwards was a huge weapon in beating our competition off the pitch. It remains to be seen how Julian Ward will go in the role, it's been a disaster on the transfer front. The midfield is way off it.

 

 

 

Liverpool snag a draw with Arsenal ... could be costly for the Gunners as Man City loom large as City could win-out from here on in (schedule not tough)

Currently Arsenal are on 73 points with 8 games to play.  Goal difference 43.  With a tougher schedule

Man City on 67 points with 11 games to play.  Goal difference 48

Arsenal play at Man City on 27th April at 5.00am.  Season definer/decider? It will be a must watch regardless!

A must watch indeed Macca, who's your gut feel for the title? Can Arsenal hang on?

I'm intrigued with Newcastle and Tottenham's seasons, can they both sneak in for CL football next year or will United snag a spot? Time will tell.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
