Better on attack, maybe, but a lot worse in the rest of the game.

More passes, more posession, more shots on target, more goals scored, more km run, fewer defeats, I think even less goals conceded so far, fewer shots on target from the opposition, more chances created, etc. I think the only think that got worse with Pep is won tackles per game but intrestingly more tackles won that led to goals.
In the end all that matters are titles but as of right now, Pep >>>> Heynckes.

So we'd have to win EL to more or less compensate for crashing out of CL early. Alright then. Let's do this.
I'm already reading about how we're planning to field our B-squad in EL, lol. We're getting nowhere.

Didn't you at least hint at it in here, yurt? I thought I read something like "I'll ban myself if we finish third" or something.

are you sure it wasn't kill myself?

Dream scenario would be winning the scudetto, Coppa Italia, EL, Supercup and UEFA cup!

Corriere dello Sport is making it sound like we're going bankrupt and we're gonna sell all our star players. This isn't the first time we crash out this early...lol
or last time

Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley has conceded some of his performances have been 'average' this season.

England international Cleverley has come under fire from some United and England fans after failing to hit the heights this term.

Cleverley's future at Old Trafford has been the subject of speculation with David Moyes widely thought to be in the market for midfield reinforcements.

Cleverley, who impressed off the bench in midweek against Shakhtar Donetsk, admits he feels he has more to give to the side after conceding he has not been happy with his form so far this season.

"At the moment, I feel like I've got more to give," Cleverley told United Review. "I've had a few average games, a few more than I would prefer.

"But I felt this time last year was when I hit my best form of the season, when we were playing every few days.

"I'm the type of player who prefers that and, if I can get into a rhythm, then hopefully I can add more than just appearances to my record, I can also add some stand-out performances."

Cleverley believes he is developing aspects of his play under Moyes, but accepts he still has more to add to his game.

"I'm definitely developing the defensive side of my game and tactically the manager is teaching me a lot of things," added Cleverley.

"Maybe the creative side of my game can improve a little bit too but I realise that's not my only job in the team and sometimes I've got to sacrifice that part.

"I felt Chelsea at home, defensively and tactically, was a mature performance and I thought I was having a really good game at Fulham before a bang on the head gave me double vision and I had to come off.

"At the moment, I feel like I've got more to give. I've had a few average games, a few more than I would prefer."

"I'd pick those two, and the really good team performance at Swansea on the opening day, as my best so far."

Moyes, gag our players, pls.

Salah's agent was also seen at Anfield a couple days ago, although that one's a little bit harder to track as numerous players can have the same agent.
Didn't see that. Salah seems a good player based on his performances in Europe, he's only 21, right?
 
I bet he fucking pipes up at lunch

Guys, remember the opening day of the season ?

Tidy, wasn't I. Tidy.

He'll have a 'TClevz' phone app that auto-calculates his pass completion during training sessions. He'll pass it around to his team-mates with a nightmare-inducing grin on his face "have a fucking look at that" he'll smugly proffer.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
Spurs only have one fully fit central defender.

If we can't win there we have serious problems.

Dawson and Chiriches will both be available on Sunday, and even if they weren't, Capoue is a perfectly adequate backup.

Christ, you'd think Liverpool were battering everybody the way people are talking about them, they lost to Hull just two weeks ago and have defended abysmally in the last two away games I watched. Sturridge and Gerrard are injured and they have a wrong-footed hobgoblin playing left-back. Of course you have the best player in the league but if you can't get the ball to him then it doesn't matter. As long as Sandro and Dembele do their jobs then there will be no problems, just like the last 5 times we've played this fixture.

Does anyone here have experience in Excel?

Yes.

How to crack it:
1. Open a new file in Excel 2000.
2. Select File and Save As, and in the Save As Type menu, select Web Page.
3. Click the Selection:Sheet radio button, and checkmark Add Interactivity.
4. Click Publish. In the Publish As dialog box, click Publish again.
5. Switch over to Internet Explorer (IE). Open the HTML page you've just saved in Excel. You'll see an Excel worksheet in the middle of the IE page.
6. Press the Page Down key until you get to row 2000, then tab over to column WC.
7. Hold down Shift-Ctrl-Alt while you click the Office logo at the upper left.
8. Now, you're dropped into a full-screen game similar to Spy Hunter, called Dev Hunter. Use the arrow keys to drive. You'll see developers' names painted on the road as you go.
9. If you're an aggressive driver, hit the spacebar to fire and the letter O to drop oil slicks. When it gets dark, use H to turn on your headlights. (Note: Your system must be equipped with DirectX in order for this egg to work.) "

I want Spurs to win.

I'm sure that Galatasaray was more than okay with playing at their shitty stadium in poor conditions. They probably would like to have same kind of weather for next round as well.

Bad decision from UEFA but to be fair they probably didn't expect Gala to fuck the pitch even more while trying to clean it.

Edit: Did they even get fined for it?

Could you lend us a midfielder for the match?

Edit: Let's not pretend that you don't have your own problems. We're shit away and can't defend. You're dodgy at home and can't score unless it's in European competitions.

My prediction is 4 - 4

Last 5 times? Last year Liverpool were all over Tottenham after the first 20 minutes and just couldn't get the goals to match Bales. I seem to remember Hodgson side coming very close to winning as well only for a last minute goal to gift it to Tottenham, and lets not even go over Arry's first match in charge which was one of the most one sided games I've ever seen that has gone the other way.

They only fucked half of it. You can guess which half :p

I don't know if UEFA is going to fine them, but I'm sure the qualification money will take care of it.

Of course we have our own problems but we've scored 6 in our last 3 league games, we are starting to fix things. A win is perfectly doable, provided Lloris doesn't do something stupid again.

Last season in this game you were 2 down immediately and then we let you run around till the final whistle. It took a bizarre OG for you to even get on the scoresheet. This time instead of Downing it will be Flanagan who fails to deal with Lennon.

If at the beginning of next season Conte & co. start talking about how the scudetto should be our no. 1 priority, I'll fucking murder someone. I don't give a shit if we can't possibly hope to win the CL. YOU WILL FUCKING PLAY IT LIKE WE CAN.
