Average game from Adnan. He needs to get on the ball more. His problem playing as lcm is that a lot of the time he plays slightly too far up the pitch like he's a #10. That's natural because he isn't a midfielder. That's probably the only position he can play in right now that allows him to play like a 10 because there are two other midfielders to cover for him and it allows him to even get on the pitch due to Di Maria having more clout to bench Mata.

I think he could have been more effective if Shaw would recognize when to make runs a little better.

Most Liverpool-based journalists are reporting that Lucas could be sidelined for 3 to 4 weeks with his latest injury.

With the games we have coming up, it's a massive loss. I think I would bring Can into midfield to take up Lucas' position and put Kolo in defence (or Lovren).

please do

It's either that or Joe Allen in midfield.

I don't know which is worse.

Barca have sacked the head coach of the B team. Come back Denis.

Finally.

What a shit coach he was. Juvenile A coach Jordi Vinyals will replace him.

Think Spurs could get a good result tomorrow. They'll be confident after beating us and Chelsea.

But it's Liverpool

Well, you could look at it from the perspective of elimination.

If Liverpool were to lose and we won, then we'd go 8 clear of them...which is a fair gap for them to overcome, though not impossible. Bit like Spurs/Arsenal, any result is a good one for us. Just need to make sure we capitalise which is where we failed yesterday. Had we won yesterday the carrot for us going into midweek would have been huge.

Anyhow, there are 3 other teams ahead of Liverpool in the race right now...so yeah, draw or Liverpool win is what I'm hoping for.

Spurs last 10 PL games: W7 D2 L1

Our form is actually better than I thought, it's annoying that those stupid home defeats earlier in the season are going to make 4th incredibly difficult. I suppose they were necessary though, that Stoke defeat was the final straw for Poch and effectively ended the Spurs careers of Kaboul, Capoue, Adebayor and Naughton. We haven't looked back since then.

I think Saints won 1-0 at Liverpool last season so Poch will know what to do tomorrow.

I don't care what happens anymore. I just want more good football. I might be a pessimistic cunt about us, but the one thing I'm loving so far is that Levy has been nowhere to be seen, probably thanks to the stadium project.
It's been great not worrying about what he'll do around November. D:

 

[Wilbur]

Mad that we have been as shit as we have and we're only five points behind City

They need to stop hiring average managers

Or continue it for all I care obv

 

[Steverulez]

Exactly. We'll drop 7 points BUT that means City have to drop 7 less than us. Seems a bit tight tbh.

Not to mention we only have 3 more games outside London. Those outside of London games are against relegation scrappers. Hull is the furthest, other two are West Brom and Leicester.

City still have to travel to most top half sides. Our top half travels are done except Arsenal.

One variable that could affect things is if one goes out of the CL before the other.

Going out of the FA Cup as much as im disappointed could be advantageous to us later in the season, obviously City are out too but im not concerned about them, just our own fitness.

[flabberghastly]

Years ago I owned 8 towels, did my laundry once per week, and never needed to reuse one.

My partner, after we moved in together, found this to be insane, then proceeded to take half my towels. The towels are now long gone, but the newer habits took root, and I reuse my towels a couple times before washing them.

I still, however, hate the idea of all the bacteria that could be collecting and growing on a wet towel while it's hanging around all day; it makes me shudder.
