Valencia will start.
Is this a joke?

I would like to see the ManU comedy show. Everton are better.
I'm not saying I expect it to happen. I'd just like to see us actually bring the game to a home side for once. We'd lose, but I'd expect us to lose if we played with a defensive line up too.
Well we won the Lollerpool way, pretty much a one man show for us today. Sterling is carrying us over the line.
Norwich can take a lot of heart from that game, they tried their hardest and very nearly got a draw.
Johnson and Lucas had very poor games, I'd prefer it if Rodgers swaps them out next game.

It's over mate, would take a disaster for Liverpool to lose it now.
It fucking pains me as a Utd fan to say this but they deserve it as well. Done it the 'right' way, haven't bought the league, play some nice stuff.

Utter bollocks performance, 2 shots on target between the 10th and 90th minute. Have to improve, and fucking quickly.
Without Sturridge, there is a distinct lack of comfort keeping the ball in the opposition third, meaning we struggle badly to find avenues towards goal unless it's on the counter.
Without Henderson, there was a distinct lack of intensity in their half. Suarez can't press 5 players into mistakes at once
Mignolet and Flanagan should be giving their week's wages to Sterling, that attempted punch and non-attempted header could easily have cost us the league.
Skrtel should have had a penalty called against him (yet again), and that Sakho foul was obvious, if unintentional. Combine that with Sterling's finish for his second (not got a clue why he went on his left when the space was on his favoured right foot), and we got very fortunate today.
Fantastic result, but not one that makes me much more confident of winning the league tbh. Chelsea will punish us if we give that many set pieces away and fail to find the link between midfield and attack as we did today. Our phase-by-phase match management leaves a lot to be desired, and will fuck us up in the CL. Need to do a lot of work on when to press as a team, when to press individually, when to accept that passing won't work and resort to a hoof, how many players to commit in attack, which players to move to the flank in support of the fullback etc
I could have booted Lucas in the bollocks when he bundled Olsson over when Sterling was about to draw a foul. He beasted the first 15 or 20 minutes, but had no impact on the game at all afterwards. Not sure how we'll line up in midfield next week after that
Whinge over, 3 points, onto Chelsea
Any word on Sturridge btw?

at best they draw imo
They're both FA cup finalists, so I guess it's that I suppose.
Hopefully, they'll be gone come summer.

Oh wow, everyone and their mother is saying we singed Ginter for 7m + bonuses.
In Hummels, Subotic, Sokratis and Ginter we'll have 4 great CBs next season + potentially someone to succeed Hummels and who can play DM. Pretty hot..
Wasn't he supposed to be a racist? Evra told me so.

we should have Sturridge back for that
lol
Go get Casillas.
Always a mistake in him you feel
New right back is a bigger issue for CL football methinks.
He's a great shot stoper but is very dodgy when he has to leave his goal/line.
For the amount he was gotten I don't think you can buy a better keeper.

Not really, I'm comfortable with him back there.
I'd keep Johnson but move him to the bench and bring someone better in. We'll need much more squad depth next year with the CL. Our bench has been crap all season.
I'm increasingly getting that feeling with every passing weak.
but then he pulls off a brilliant save
ter Stegen own goals incoming
