Poor Juan Mata. Played completely out of position, having to defend most of the time, then subbed when we're 3-0 down.
How the hell did Van Gaal not notice within the first 15mins that we needed to change things?

Wow spurs could still win the title, they have a slightly easier ending fixtures.
I can see Leicester tripping at Everton and Manu.
lol Spurs beating Arsenal to the title, omg..
I read an article about how Spurs' season is just as amazing, if not more so than Leicester. Youngest squad in the EPL etc.

I'll take Moyes over this clueless baffoon.
A better manager as well. Mou after Gaal is just the same shit in another suit.

No doubt. I hope he goes somewhere where he'll have a easier time. Hard to find a club with support that will appreciate him more than United though. Especially if his destination is Madrid.

Out of next 5 games Leicester needs to lose 2 and tie 1 while Spurs need to win everything. Not saying that it's impossible. It can certainly happen, but "slightly easier ending fixtures" is not enough.

well 7 points is a lot but doable i guess.. last week barca looked unstoppable in la liga and now they only have 3 points distance to atletico. (prays for bvb)
I hope they proceed. A strong BVB is important. But I said earlier, that Anfield and German clubs just do not work very well.

Did you, though? You guys are playing Schalke, Hertha, Gladbach, Ingolstadt and Hannover. I don 't see two losses. Schalke will bend over, Hertha (unfortunately) seemed to have lost their strength, Gladbach might be interesting though, Ingolstadt is Ingolstadt and your U19 would win against Hannover. All in all, I don't see you dropping so many points. And neither did Tuchel, so focusing on the EL, which we can actually win without hoping for you guys to drop points was the right decision.
Well, that's such a non-relevant fact, though. Hadn't Porto never lost at home against a German club before as well? Anyway, Liverpool had fantastic teams over the years, so it is no surprise that they haven't lost against a German team at Anfield. But fact is also that this might be one of the weaker Liverpool sides in historic context. And one of the stronger BVB sides. It's totally doable and remember, we don't need to win, a 2-2 is enough.

Omigod what a result, managed to catch the Sunderland game and what were Leicester. Disappointed in Sunderland.
West Ham were fucking great too, gutted they didn't put the last nail in the coffin for the gooners.
EDIT: Need I say anything about Spurs performance...

You have to at least score a goal and right now Liverpool is in advantage. Game at home and good form. I'm pretty sure the whole atmosphere and aggression on the pitch made many german sides fail. It won't be easy and this Liverpool side is surely not Barca or Bayern, but far away from being weak or the weakest Liverpool ever. Look at Camp Nou, Allianz Arena or Anfield, the statistics do not lie. We lost to Porto on their turf, so yes, it's a relevant fact. It always was.
I still hope Dortmund makes it but I have serious doubts after the last couple of performances, especially against Liverpool and Bayern, who were obviously stronger sides than the usual Kanonenfutter.

Its not the weakest Liverpool ever, but we are well capable of playing like it. There's a reason we're 8th or wherever we are. On our day we look very good, but peppered among the half decent results are a load of terrible results and bottle-jobs.
We need to use the 1-1 as a platform to go for any kind of win, playing for 0-0 would end badly for us, and its more likely to be a high-scoring draw than a low-scoring one.
Would like to see Origi and Sturridge play together at home against midtable teams and below. They looked tremendous yesterday, and Sturridge has shown with Suarez that he has no problem adjusting his game for a strike-partner, and if anything looks better for it.

I wonder what Arsenal would have been like this season if they had Klopp in charge. I like Wenger a lot, but I feel he and the club have become very stagnant and both parties could do with something fresh. Klopp would've surely made that squad genuine contenders?

I knew Gomez was doing good in Turkey, but I just realized that Besiktas is actually leading the table:
It'd be their first title since 2009: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Süper_Lig#Champions
And it's apparently in large part due to Gomez:
Mario Gomez scores the first goal in the new Beşiktaş stadium
He seems like the perfect CF for the PL. Klopp should sign him.
Not even Klopp @ Arsenal would be able to stop the Leicester train.

West Ham will be putting a coffin in van Goof's FA Cup hopes Wednesday, and possibly top 4 hopes if United are still alive by May.

Would that literally ever happen? The guys upstairs wouldn't have such a lovable rogue as the face of the club. They want Piers Morgan

His positioning is still world class. Shame the rest is mediocre. But good for him
Where would Leicester's points tally have them at this point in other seasons?
Again not meant to disparage Leicester (or Spurs for that matter). The leap Leicester has made this season is an amazing effort. I'm more astounded that Arsenal and Arsene have failed so badly this season.22 days ago by Geedz13 said:
