09.04.20 | predicting Forest to go up is a galaxy brain moment |
Deez
09.04.20 | I honestly think we'll 'struggle' this year. Well not struggle exactly but For Liverpool to ask near enough the same team and starting 11 to go and get 90 plus points for a 3rd season in a row without any of the main players (front 3/VVD/either full back) breaking down (Some who have barely had any time off in previous years with international tournaments is just too much. They have looked pretty lethargic and sparkless since febuary. Luckily the league was all but won. Doesnt need much just a bit of freshness. A cb. A striker to come in that isnt Origi (god bless him). On the plus Curtis Jones is ready to step in for Lallana and more so. Looks like fabinio will drop into cover CB leaving Thiago hopefully if Gini is off in his place. Keita is class but so far hes been made of crisps. Finished the season well and hopefully doesnt fucking melt after 4 games as per. Minamio's first real season. Looks a bit more settled and will give us something busy coming on. Think it will be a close thing between us and CIty again but can see City winning it this year. Thing 2/3rd will also be closer but without the top 2 being really threatened unless Lampard can get that Chelsea team gelling quick. I think well see the best of them a year later.
So top 6
City
Liverpool
Chelsea
Utd
Arsenal
Spurs
Wolves
Going Down
WBA
Fulham
Villa
Everton to be Loled at as Per after another Transfer Window Winning Trophy |
Jasdevi087
09.05.20 | i feel like people said that about liverpool last year though and then we ended up eating the entire ass |
Deez
09.05.20 | They did but that was after one season of getting 95 plus points. We then had to go into last season knowing we had to win every single game from the off. The physical and mental drain of that is unmeasurable and the tiredness has clearly been there since about feb. The front 3 have not been as fluid since probably xmas/Ny. Theyve not had an even shorter rest period. Had the let off of winning the thing and to ask them all to come back in and play 90% of games is just not realistic. Also the man whos played more minutes than anyone in tose 2 seasons will probably leave. Klopp clearly new this as he obviously wanted Werner. Even for all none sense paper talk that was someone he actually wanted and didnt get because of the lack of money. So he knows of course. I dont think Nathan Ake is the answer to Cities defensive problems either though.
If VVD goes down its Fabinio and Gomez. If any of teh front 3 go down. Its Origi. Either one of those option for longer than a few games wont win you teh league. The drop off is too big (less so in Defensive with a change of tactics when Fab in there) |
Sinternet
09.05.20 | wolves at 3rd is lol, their first team is fantastic but god they have no depth and just sold a starting rightback for peanuts, and depth is gonna be huge this season
also i really don't see us sixth, i think we have the strongest depth outside of city even if our first xi needs to gel, top 4 has to be guaranteed
also see everton actually doing well, their signings have been much more focused than is usual for when they sign aging players just past their prime in positions they don't need. still pickford could fuck them |
Sinternet
09.05.20 | agree with a lot of the rest of this though, def see brentford keeping their team together and storming the championship |
Jasdevi087
09.05.20 | I had Chelsea and Wolves swapped originally but wanted to add a little spice |

Sinternet
09.05.20 | see them having a mare tbh, mourinho won't last the season and again there are questions of their depth especially with europe, i think they're playing a game like every three days or so until january which is ridiculous, they lose kane and/or son they're fucked |
Jasdevi087
09.05.20 | Would rather see them go down than get my predictions right tbh |
OmairSh
09.05.20 | Now that Messi isn't joining City Liverpool's title defence should be relatively easier |
zakalwe
09.05.20 | I think Arsenal could surprise a few people. |
Jasdevi087
09.05.20 | hope not |
Sinternet
09.05.20 | i think top 4 is gonna be a runaway thing but def agree that arsenal won't be too far off the pace, some decent signings on their part |
Morningrise767
09.05.20 | Up the Chels < 3 |
Sinternet
09.05.20 | they weren't confident wins, they have no depth and they play the most games out of anyone, i fail to see them getting europe next season |
Deez
09.05.20 | Arsenal do look more solid for sure. Beaten us twice over the last few weeks but the league game we absolutely pummeled them they took advantage of 2 uncharactaristic VVD errors and their only 2 shots on goal I think and last weeks Charity shield they played well first half and defended well second. Seem better at sitting back and soaking up. Im still not sold though even though press wanted to laud Arteta straight away. And talk of a title is ridiculous. I think the teams behind Liverpool and CIty have got to look to cut that points deficit in half at least this season and go from there because Id put money on us or City getting 90 points again. The season before we won it that was the goal for us and we got withing a point and a champions league so...
As much as I love to laugh at Everton theyve made 2 great signings in Allen and Doucure given how soft they are in the middle. James could go anyway really but all better that Sigurson/Awobi/Walcott and the likes |
Sinternet
09.05.20 | the matches of theirs i saw really didn't look confident tbh. but again where is their depth? they have a great first xi and nothing to rotate with. they have the worst schedule of anyone in the league for this season. also as someone who watches a lot of saints games (my dads club/where i live most of the year) hojberg really isn't all that - if spurs fans are expecting an eriksen replacement you're gonna get an eriksen just before he left replacement. has magic games sometimes but all too often would go completely missing. |
Sinternet
09.05.20 | yeah deez i think this seasons set to be exciting for arsenal, but it's a case of whether they can keep an entire season in good form or go back to arsenal of ten years ago where it all goes to tatters in the spring. they've got a very consistent team in terms of quality now i reckon rather than being overloaded in attack and having a shite backline |
joshb9864
09.07.20 | Leicester supporter here checking in lol anyways I had the same three getting relegated from the prem |
roguedevil
09.08.20 | I can't see West Ham staying up. No defensive quality and no depth in midfield plus managed by Moyes.
Arsenal will have the same struggles as last year
I think Everton will either start or end the season if shit form and finish comfortably in mid table. |
ChoccyPhilly
09.08.20 | wolves #3? lol dream on. I'd say Arsenal as 4th because arsenal fan and there's generally quite a good feeling with Arteta right now.
I dont see Ole fully resolving all the issues we've seen at utd over the past couple years. Think they'll burnt out Bruno and then they'll have nothing left to give |
rabidfish
09.08.20 | i say liverpool take the league again this year.
top 4: Liv > City > Chelsea > Utd
Arsenal and tottenham will struggle like last season.
hoping everton and brighton have a good season, i dunno much but i fancy their way of playing.
west brom, sheffield and leeds to go down, i'd bet. |

09.17.20 | Put a 20 on Arsenal winning the league, returns of 1k, not bad. people are underestimating how good they actually are
|
Sinternet
09.17.20 | i think that like us arsenal have great potential for the year but have to gel properly, and also not sink into old arsenal form which is be 2nd at christmas and then fighting for europa by march |
Deez
09.18.20 | No chance Arsenal win it. 0. Theyre those odds for a reason. You never see a bookie on a bike etc etc Your talking a 40 point swing in one season. Wont happen. Liverpool or City with hit late 80s,early 90s in points. Chelsea may get closer but still I doubt within 10. Hard to get that many players to gel straight away. Think a lot will depend on how Silva settles.
Also MADE UP with us getting Thiago. Incredible bit of business. Would still like cover for the front 3 but I think we may very well bring Sarr in since it looks like Origi AND Brewster may well be off. Just a CB needed then. |
Sinternet
09.18.20 | whats your thoughts on brewster deez? from how he was hyped up for ages it seemed to me like he would be at least a go-to rotational option if not starter for you within the next couple of years, but im wondering then how it seems pool are willing to entertain bids for him |

OmairSh
10.05.20 | What even happened today, 2020 does it again. Refreshing to see though
Everton and Aston Villa having a really good start so far |
Deez
10.05.20 | @sin yeah he was about to sign for Borrusia monchengladbach a few years ago but klopp told him to stay so always figured he would make his way in at some point. Hes never done anything when hes played and klopp always speaks about how he needs to get involves more. Its not just enough being a poacher in a Klopp team. Sad that hes left but maybe not quite at the level we need allthough bobby firminio has been woeful for the best oart of a year now which speaks volumes for Brewsters chances.
Liverpool absolutely woeful yesterday. Villa could have had 10. Massive difference playing a high line with alisson behind you and adrian. Was just one of those days. 3 reflections that went in but fully deserved. Last time we took a hammering like that at Spurs we lost about 3 games in a year and a half after it. I think you do get these games with a klopp team now and then when it all goes wrong and everything goes right for the opposition. Although firmino and Gomez' form is a worry.
Go and stick 5 past the worlds new greatest side the mighty Everton who are swiping the likes of West Brom and Fleetwood aside and alls good again. Couldnt be a better game to come back to. Those results show this season is an anomaly though. Injuries will be rampant,players getting covid and no fans. Anything could happen |

zakalwe
12.14.20 | Yeah Southend is a travesty. The club will become extinct which is a crying shame.
They were the first team I ever saw play. 1985/86 against Aldershot! I’d see them quite a bit when Stan Collymore was there. What a player.

DDDeftoneDDD
12.14.20 | Both manchester s main teams are all instafriends lol |
Pheromone
12.14.20 | I'd say spurs have been pretty good, albeit inconsistent, this season. This Palace game was the first since Everton where we were actually outplayed (other than 10 mins against West Ham where we shit the bed) - and even then that was only on the second half.
I don't think we will win the title, but if we somehow did and Arse got relegated I think I'd be content for years. |

12.14.20 | var has not been and will never be the problem, it's that the standard of refereeing in England is a disgrace and always has been, it's just getting exposed now |
Shemson
12.14.20 | I agree there Sint, not having VAR was always the ‘get out of jail free card’ whenever a ref made a bad call.
Now they’re still making bad calls even with multiple camera angles and as long a time as they want to review the decision! |

12.20.20 | arsenal getting relegated would make me nut so hard goddamn |
OmairSh
12.20.20 | Haha fucking hell what is even going on with them
Though being a Barca fan I can't laugh too hard, Koeman is a failure as a coach. Mid table at best. In the last game against Valencia he subbed Coutinho for Lenglet instead of Puig when we needed a goal to win. How can a manager be so immature and stubborn that he won't swallow his pride to play one of the most talented players in the squad. Need him sacked yesterday |
Deez
12.20.20 | How he even got that job i will never know |
Keyblade
12.20.20 | so many of these fraud managers in a job purely because they were a good player one |
OmairSh
12.20.20 | Well he got it because Ratomeu the parasite wanted to appease the fans right before his rapidly collapsing tenure was coming to an end. Until the last day he ensured that the club would get fucked. Worst president in history, imagine swapping a promising 22 to in Arthur for a 30 yo Pjanic. It was all for selfish reasons to save his pathetic ass financially. And forcing Messi to stay against his will and threatening to take him to court if he wanted to leave. He's the best Real Madrid president ever
Failure as a human being, and it'll take years to completely undo the damage that fucker has done. I just hope the next president takes him to court and squeezes him dry financially |

12.20.20 | most of us don't hate you as such (spuds notwithstanding), it's just everything for the last ten years has seemed like a never-ending cruel joke, that combined with the more prominent members of the fanbase believing every change in direction is going to make them invincibles again being followed by utter mediocrity in a matter of months and the completely baffling decisions made by the board are the kind of hubris and fall from grace that resulting in lesser sympathies than those granted to other clubs. no one in particular cries when any of the big six or more controversial clubs are in a downwards spiral. |

But I think with the internet and SM now and Youtube it amplifies sections of your support (all of us) and makes you look like utter bellwhiffs with the likes of arsenal tv and those utter dickheads has made me want Arsenal to fuck up. Which they have and continue to do so which is great fun |

Deez
12.20.20 | Yeah I thought you may have especially how this season is crazy and a bit of a one off but his tactics are fking awful. I cant believe he brought the Liverpool game up again. Like Yeah SPurs had chances to go 2-1 up. Hes talking like that would FOR SURE have won the game. And to say they were the better team just absolutely baffles me but whatever but to say they still felt bummed out by that TODAY. Thats some reach. |
Pheromone
12.20.20 | feel for Kane so consistently man - not that he didn't miss a fair few but he's honestly world class stuck at a permanently stagnant (albeit not necessarily in a bad place) club |
Jasdevi087
12.20.20 | @fish fam we got duppied by Villa and we couldn't beat Fulham, we were and always will be a banter club |

12.20.20 | fuck off jas lol you've just won the league (albeit in the most underwheming way) |
Deez
12.20.20 | Underwhelming?? Hahha keep telling yourselves that. Was fucking fantastic
Lost 2 games in 2 seasons up to winning it and won it faster than anyone else in history. |
Pheromone
12.20.20 | lmao you won it with no crowds, tripped your way to the title and lost the community shield
was amazing before that - but fucking hell you made a meal of the end |
Deez
12.20.20 | Tripped our way to the title? We lost one game? How is that tripped? We only lost games after it was won. Arsed. Tunrned out we had enough points in febuary to have won it. We also only had 2 games with no crowds before winning it every other game was with crowds and the whole of the city took to the streets for 3 days immediately.
Nobody has ever gave a fuck about the community shield hahah jesus |

also the community shield is a friendly with a commemorative dinner plate kthnks |

12.20.20 | My fave is 'yeah but your not thebest team EVER'
I know. Arsed. Ill settle for a back to back champions league and league title though thanks. Im alright with that |
Pheromone
12.20.20 | nah you are right - just made me happy that pools' first prem title involved behind closed doors 0 fan affair as well as losing 3-0 to watford
hence the underwhelming |
Jasdevi087
12.20.20 | "just made me happy that pools' first prem title involved behind closed doors 0 fan affair as well as losing 3-0 to watford"
see, that was for the banter |
Pheromone
12.20.20 | also - in terms of 'tripping' i was mislead coz i was just thinking about early march when play resumed and you lost to Watford, Chelsea and Atletico in the space of about two weeks |
Deez
12.20.20 | Ill lose 3-0 to watford or 7-2 to villa as long as we win the league couldbt be less bothered.
Having no crowd for the trophy lift and not being able to have a proper parade sucks of course but thankfully there thousands of people dying to stop you having to see that |

Watford battered us underestimated them and payed the price only cost us not going unbeaten. Couldnt care less. Just wanted the league. Chelsea was in the cup were we played the kids and made 7 changes. Atletico we should have been 3 up. One of the most one sided games ive ever seen at that stage of the CL. We just capitulated after Adrian fucked up. It happens. Its the champions league. Again the year before peolle we trying to downplay the CL win because what we really wanted was the league apparently. When we win the league 'yeah but atletico' theres always something. Times are good for us right now. As good as theyve been in my lifetime. Good to see everyine else clamouring for narratives and making the same shit up we did while being being arsenal/chelsea/united for most of 20 years. Trust me mate, it was far from underwhelming for us |

12.20.20 | It says something when I couldn’t care less about the game nowadays. Course I’m still interested and watch it and all the rest of it but the level of passion has waned massively. I tell you something though if Klopp was turned on at some point, were sacked or mugged off I’d be absolutely livid. That man is the last bastion of proper footy in how he conducts himself on and off the pitch and how he orchestrates his team.

12.20.20 | You were like this even before the no fans though were you Zak? |

12.20.20 | I take it that’s the consensus with all Liverpool fans deez?
Like Dalglish innit, that man cannot do wrong and fair enough. |
Deez
12.20.20 | Yeah 100% I mean ROgers nearly got us there but he was generally shite outside that one season where he also happened to have a peak suarez a sturridge that for one season didnt turn into crisps and a Young sterling but the way hes come in his honesty, His energy. He gets it. He was walking into alehouses in his first week in town. Thats ultimatey what you want isnt it, Just your manager to fucking GET IT, Get what your club and City is about. And weve just got better and better every year its unbelievable. I mean Uefa cup and Carling cup final in his first season! The Champs league qualification back to back forst ime in 7 years, A champs league final lost, Came back and won it. Lost the league by a point that would have won it in ANY other season. Losing one game . Come back and win it. The mentality hes instilled around the club is unbelievable. Hes untouchable for me. Hes a right twat sometimes when he loses of course. What winner isnt? I completely broke down when he broke down when he was interviewed in teh hour that Chelsea beat city and we won it. What a man. Jurgen Norbott Klopp. My Manager! |

02.03.21 | bro how are Southampton a football club |
Shemson
02.03.21 | Lol and they’re not even close to the worst team in the league, in fact, out of our (Everton) losses this season they’re probably the team that outplayed us the most comprehensively!
It’s a mad season though, we managed to beat Chelsea, Arsenal and Leicester in a row but have had a horrific Steve Bruce lead Newcastle do the double over us! |
Sinternet
02.03.21 | mike dean with another classic case of dodgy refereeing but yeah they uhh did not look good. most of their starters are out though tbf.
also tuchel is god and CHO new messi? |

02.03.21 | spurs are shit mou is shit poch is dad dele come back |
Shemson
02.03.21 | To be fair to Mike Dean that tackle a minute in was a clear a straight red as you’re likely to see right now
Spurs are being pretty shit right now considering the quality of players you’ve got. If Don Carlo had a squad like that we’d be right up there |

02.03.21 | It’s fun because now I don’t know which teams game against Brighton you’re referring to |
Sinternet
02.03.21 | lol
big ups the albion, remember going to the withdean on a shite rainy day ten years ago and watching them get battered 5-0 by crewe
how times change, impact of them has def been felt around the city |

02.04.21 | you know, I'm somewhat of a Brighton fan myself (cries in dirty fucking 3rd generation scouser) |
Shemson
02.25.21 | This thread is not getting anywhere near enough attention at the moment. Worst title defence since Kerry Katona won mother of the year was my favourite comment. |
Deez
02.25.21 | Name me a team in history whos had to defend a title with their 3 centre halves out for the season. Then 2 thirds of the midfield who won the league having to play midfield and then who are then also out. Whilst all in the middle of a global pandemic,though.
Ill wait...
Even after the Villa Hiding we were top and everyone saying that it was Liverpools league (which even then I found mental but the press love that shit) Injuries are injuries but having 5 in the same position is unheard of.
City were excused for just having Laporte out last season (and not replacing Kompany) and were 20 points behind this stage last year.
Well be lucky to finish top 8 with Henderson out as well for 3 months.
Ready to dust this season off. Have a rest and get everyone as fit as poss. Was worried Utd might sneak a title but thats not happening. In the scheme of things CIty winning another title is nothing. Theyve won what? 6 in their entire history. Not even remotely arsed. Theyre a phenomenal side and have been for years. Will take a super human effort (and did) and them to come off the boil slightly for anyone to win it as long as Peps there with that kind of cash behind him. Just hope they dont win everything.
Some of the wobbles our 'fans' are having at the minute is embarrassing though. Weve just had 3 years of insanely high level football.Losing a Champs league final and coming back and winning it, Losing 1 game and still not winning the league. Then coming back WInning the league and not even having a parade and celebration with the fans. They have looked mentally fucked for a while and weve skirted major injuries to the front 3 for those years so looks the universe has evened out by taking every centre back at the club! Now Klopps mum and Alisson dad both die within a month. Never know anything like it. |

02.25.21 | First time I've noticed this thread so let's get involved...
Deez... let me pick this up in text comment hit post by mistake |
Deez
02.25.21 | Also as much as I love Klopp. Playing Jota in that game in Norway when we were already through was criminal. Been out ever since when looking like he was a cert to give the front 3 (Bobby especially ) a kick up the arse. Just madness. But FSG probably on his case for that extra 250,000 for finishing top |
rabidfish
02.25.21 | It's amazing how much more ruthless City have become now that they actually have a decent central defender. It's almost scary how hard they press ALL the time. Last champions game was insane. |
zakalwe
02.25.21 | Share price down, Klopp out, Gerrard in, mid table finish. |
Nuchoking
02.25.21 | I sat down with my boss who's a big Liverpool fan prior to season kicking off and spoke about defending the title. I said to him that I think that Liverpool need to be careful, by that I mean they worked so hard to get that Premier League title after such a long period and I thought it was really important you think about this season rather than getting caught up in all that.
We identified a need for CB cover: VVD and Gomez being the obvious starters, Matip always being injured and Lovers heading out the door... looks whats happen, yes it's massively unlucky but these things happen. We also said it would be good to get some one with creativity in the middle of the park and a striker than scores goals. All of which have been problem areas, we saw this why didn't they.
I had no sympathy for City last year it wasn't that they lost Laporte, it was that they had not replaced Kompany and let's also point out they did have stones there who has turned out to be a very good player this year... Pep could of played a CB but chose to play a midfielder in the position and wonders why they finish so far behind Liverpool. |

02.25.21 | Lovren* |
Pheromone
02.25.21 | Mou out
what you reckoning zak |
Deez
02.25.21 | The second VVD was injured they needed to buy a decent centre back especially given Matip is made of fucking crisps. Theyve not spent much money in the last 3 years (thiago,minamino,jota) epsecially given the new stand,Money from CL and PL. But they didnt until panic buying a 20 year old kid from Schalke whos now got the world on his shoulders in a new country where he cant mingle or embrace a new country because of a lockdown whilst also being Liverpools number 1 centre back and a lad from preston who will start less that 10 games in his career probably. I dont think you can feasibly go into a season with absolute quality cover in your 4th and 5th choice centre backs or they just wouldt be there. Theres nothing you can do about it. If Gomez had not gone wed have been in with a shout. Matip also. With Fabinio and one more I dont think we'd win it but there wouldnt be this type of capitulation.
The biggest problem in a well oiled system like klopps is you can change one or 2 but when you take out your captain midfielder and one of the best CD in Europe to play defense. they might do a job but your missing that midfield which makes it tick.Thaigo is getting all kinds of shit and hes been poor. Put put him in teh middle with Henderson and Fab and its a different story. Last 2 years weve kept teams in their half , squeezed. Full back highs and desptie open to counter attacks. The speed of Gomez and VVD could mop up. Of course we should have a Plan B whihc we dont and Klopp is going to have to change for now because hes playing teh same system
As for the goals its a weird one. Sala again is having a record breaking season despit not being at his best. Bobby has been largely shite for at least a year and Mane is having his first dip which has been the last 2 months.
Jota had 7 in 14 and got injured in a nothing game. Ridiculous. |
Sinternet
02.25.21 | Seems like a reset season for pool where you reevaluate your progress after recent success, us chelsea lot are no stranger to those haha
I think the defensive issues are very obvious and poor luck, but also you guys have looked fairly lacklustre in attack for quite a bit now and just haven't been scoring the same way you were. Against big teams I understand the gap there with injuries but you should definitely still be challenging for top 4, compared to some of the teams you guys were putting out ten years ago this lot is a stark improvement at the worst of times and against midtable and bottom-half opposition you haven't been looking hungry at all. |
Deez
02.25.21 | Yeah totally, Again I think thats mental fatigue , partly, because last season 2 seasons where so intense. Last season we started against Norwich knowing we would have to win EVERY game to win it. Then you do. Theres a lockdown you cant celebrate , holiday with the fam and go again they seemed drained since the end of last season. Firminio has been off the ball for a LONG time. Id argue since we went to teh club word championship to the point its a problem now. When he ticks we tick but its becoming rarer. Salah and Mane have both had covid (trent too) and Id argue trent and Mane have been some of the biggest drops in form.
Your right about a reset though. You need to build when on top. Dead wood like Origi (bless him) shaquiri should be long gone and just because you have a solid 11 doesnt mean there shouldnt be competition for those places. Unfortunately we have a sell to buy model so I dont think there will be a huge influx unless Mane or Salah are sold (the latter more likely) but Im also willing to put this season as just a one off. A mad one. If we start next season with the same 11 as this and Jota/Thiago a year in and replacement for Gini, Jones getting more games and elliot on the bench.
I would be all good with that but theres no sure think VVD or Gomez get back to their best either. Nothing major needs doing just a few tweaks.
