String fellow Posted 25 April 2019 Share Posted 25 April 2019 Talking of the Manchester clubs reminds me that exactly 50 years ago tomorrow, we lost to Man City at Wembley in the FA Cup Final. Also, Man United beat us in the last league game of the season at Old Trafford (I was there!), relegating us to Division 2, along with QPR. Not-so-happy days!

Otherwise a player could have a very good August-February (but not quite enough for TotS) and then break all kinds of records in March/April/May, but misses out because someone else had a slightly better start to the season (even if they tailed off massively). always thought it a bit strange myself. often players will have a massive end to the season especially when they are going all out for titles/cups etc. The real class will shine through when the pressure is on and that is often towards the end. Reminds me a little of Kante the year we won the league. Vardy and Mahrez were getting all the plaudits for their goals and assists but, as a relative unknown quantity, it wasn't until well into the season that people (those outside of the KP anyway) starting looking at the stats and picking up on just how good and how pivotal he was to our success that season.

Manini Posted 25 April 2019 Share Posted 25 April 2019 I can’t have Liverpool winning the league, I’m sorry. My personal circumstances just won’t allow it. Come and live with two gobby scousers who refuse to even aknowledge that Leicester exist, let alone play in the prem and you’ll soon have your opinions changed, the rest I’ve met have been the same too. I hate them with a burning passion and if they folded tomorrow I wouldn’t bat an eyelid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livid Posted 25 April 2019 Share Posted 25 April 2019 I'm getting to the point where if you couple the media love in for "Pep" and "City" against the unbearable scouse uprising it's none of the above for me. Unfortunately one of them has to win it. I Want us to get something at Man City whilst still hoping Liverpool somehow manage to screw it up. Have nothing against either side, I think Liverpool are actually more appealing but their fans...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooner count Pogba's penalties than a back post Sterling tap in for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely going to have to agree to disagree on that one think what Sterling does requires better play. I still don't actually think Sterling's that clinical a finisher. Nor Salah.

Ultimately it doesn't matter, the ball still needs to be put in the net and the scoreboard counts a penalty as much as a back post open goal or a 40 yard screamer. I agree that he shouldn't be in there. I think that Hazard should be in his place. But Bernardo Silva has 7 goals and 8 assists for example. Other than Hazard and maybe Son is there really another midfielder that should be in there? You could even argue that those two are forwards.

Dan LCFC Posted 25 April 2019 Share Posted 25 April 2019 I think a lot of the other midfielder contenders would be dark horses - I'll get slated for this but Wijnaldum. Liverpool fans reckon he's been one of their best players. Pogba's just had too many games where he's a borderline liability to be in this for me. It forces him out of it.

The Horse's Mouth Posted 25 April 2019 Share Posted 25 April 2019 Do hate Liverpool fans but it's for the greater good that they win it, I don't think I could ever condone Man City winning anything with their ownership. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerrytaggart Posted 25 April 2019 Share Posted 25 April 2019 I'd rather not allow Liverpool into the Premier league winners V. I. P enclosure. Don't want it to get too crowded in here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenTheFox Posted 25 April 2019 Share Posted 25 April 2019 (edited) Scary the similarities between Man United now and Liverpool of the 90s. Both clubs were in decline after over two decades of dominance, both spent loads of money and in Lingard, Rashford, Lukaku, Pogba etc. Man United even have their very own 'Spice Boys'.

Think some of that lot get away with it big time as well. Rashford getting praised for the performances against Barcelona and last night proves to me he can do no wrong in the eyes of some. I think he's a steady striker but astoundingly over-rated. Edited 25 April 2019 by Dan LCFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammo Posted 25 April 2019 Share Posted 25 April 2019 The combination of all those traitorous Leicestershire-born-and-bred Liverpool fans (NW Leics seems to be a particular hotbed for them) and the plethora of biased Liverpool-supporting, Leicester-hating TV pundits (Carragher, Sourness, Owen, Murphy etc) makes me literally jump for joy every time Man City (or Liverpool's opponents) score. The only way I could tolerate Liverpool joining us in that elite group of Premier League winners is if we win at Man City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
