EvilenFroggen Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Just saw the whole Liverpool game (got bits and pieces at work on Sunday). Should they be concerned about Trent? His offense is amazing, but he might as well have not been there against Sterling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not good and then there's what happened Sunday, where he was little more than a training cone. Then there was the game he gave the ball away 38 times in 77 minutes. Yeesh, I hope the crosses are worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's always been this way. 80% attack, 20% defence But yeah that was particularly bad. I'm 100% that VVD made everyone else look like superstars Edited February 11, 2021 by Hunter2_1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with Dias and Stones, I don’t know if I’ve ever felt this confident in defense. It’s really as if Kompany is back, and now he’s got an amazing partner. Our previous best CB partnership in recent history was Vincent and Lescott. Add in Cancelo who’s keeping Kyle Walker out of the team, and doing this without a proper striker (and recently without KDB)...it certainly feels different. Yeah this is definitely more like it. Last season was a joke, it was like Pep was deliberately neglecting the defence. There must be a bit of luck involved with John's turnaround, or Dias is making him better or something.

It could be any combination of things. Maybe it’s that Dias is so much more of a leader than Laporte. If you buy into the claims that Stones’ personal life was in turmoil (through his own doing) and it was severely affecting his play and that’s been resolved, it could be that. Maybe it’s that his Stones grew three sizes this summer. It’s probably a combination, but it is incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilenFroggen Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) As far as Pep’s priorities, maybe he finally realized that when his high flying offense gets stymied, it’s nice to have a plan B. Andy Reid should give him a call. Edited February 11, 2021 by EvilenFroggen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Statistically this is the worst title defence ever from LFC. Surprising considering they won it with an enormous margin. City defence is so much better than everyone else's. Goals Against - City 1st, Spurs 2nd, Arsenal (?!) 3rd Goals For - United 1st, LFC 2nd, City 3rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilenFroggen Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Well. Changed entirely from when I left to go to work. Does Leicester end up in the top four? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was 0-0. I fixed some breakfast real quick. Came back and its 3-1. So while I didnt see the scoring part. All the scorelessness I did witness, Leicester def belongs. Palace on the other hand. Without Zaha they couldnt be top 4 in Champ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon Ducks Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) At this point, not finishing in the top 4 would be a disappointment, although we were in this place last season... We should be okay as long as we don’t have a ton of additional injuries. We don’t have as much depth as the Big 6 and James Justin might be out for the season with an ACL injury. Shame for him. I think he had a chance of making the England squad this summer. Man City are so freaking impressive this year. Total domination against Tottenham and shut down Kane and Song without Días. Potential bad news for them as Gundogan left the game with an injury and he’s been on fire (understatement) lately.

PARROTHEAD Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 What team if promoted could stay up in Prem? All the recent years have provided at least 1. 2016/Burnley 2017/Newcastle Brighton, 2018/Wolves, 2019/Villa 2020/Leeds Brentford? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyre like 1-18 in games without him. Didnt see much out of him today. But that pretty much goes for the whole team. At least Roy wasnt grinning like a fool on the sideline. Guess he knows its over for him now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
