Man City really put Watford to the sword.

I mean... honestly... Watford just gave up...

What does that say for professional footballers?

The fans pay to get in... watch... and support and you can't even bother trying when you're earning a Zillion Pounds a week...

Everton 1:3 Manchester City... too bad for Silva, the Toffees had pretty good opportunities to make it 3:2. Mahrez' direct free kick was excellent, though.

Looking forward to see Leicester/Newcastle today*.


*5 goals, one red card, one own goal... I wasn't disappointed. Rodgers could win anything with Celtic, he now seems to go the same route with Leicester.

Liverpool 2 : 1 Leicester

Soft penalty during added time, last seconds of it, to be precise. There was a contact, sure, but it felt like at least 70% was Mané's acting. What's your opinion?

It was a good game and I'm not unhappy with Klopp adding another won game to his straight succession of now 17, contrary to ex-Red's coach Rodgers, I'm sure. But there's room to question the decision of the referee.

Liverpool still doing the rounds here. But very very disappointed with Arsenal. They have no plan...and it's terrible to watch.

Reds against Spurs was exciting (2:1). I also liked the Clarets vs Blues game (2:4), Lampard holds up well for now. What I missed was the gigantic 0:9 win by Leicester. What's wrong with the Saints? They seem unable to live up to their famous academy.

Why does Klopp keep picking liability Lovern over Gomez!!!!!

But 3 points is 3 points.

Wish I saw that Leicester game too. Rodgers is obviously doing something right with the Foxes here. Unlike Unai....

Rodgers was heavily undervalued since his glorious ride and his lordly fall with Liverpool. Then he cooled down in Scotland, could win whatever he wanted with Celtic and prepared his PL comeback well. I'm still a little surprised, how well, but I don't think his bench at Leicester is wide enough to endure this pace. One or two injuries/absences and he'll learn this lesson sooner than he'd want to. Up till now it's amazing, though.

Well, he better cross his fingers that his defense or Vardy stay healthy. Prem is always brutal on the body.

Liverpool 3:1 Manchester City

Great, but unfortunately totally broken game. Once again, the infamous Michael Oliver was referee, VAR practically not present. Three handballs in the area (1xMCI, 2xLFC), non of which was handled. A yellow card omitted (Fabinho), too. I enjoyed it, what was left of it anyway.

Mourinho and Roy Keane calling the title race over.

This is still November, 2019, right? Just checking.

If Liverpool get through Dec with no injuries then yes we have more or less won the league.

The way they play and the belief in each other on the pitch is clear to see. When we lost the champions league final to Real and even other seasons we have done well but come up short the following we just play shit (same as spurs are at the moment) but the following season problems in defense and in goal where addressed and we won the cup the following year and lost the league by 1 point. You can see that Klopp and the team have said lets play like that again but keep it up this time and make no mistakes and its working. OK City have had injury issues but you can see City cracking. So unless our front 3, VVD and Allison all get injured I can't see why not. Wasn't Leicester written off this early once?

I guess we'll see in....let's say, January? Pool do stand a good chance. However, I don't put much weight into what Roy Keane says....

Odd choice, probably motivated by ambition of the management, since being second is not enough. José proved lately to be the worst guy to get along with stars, I assume he and Kane won't get along, too, and Son will be used for this purpose. I doubt Mourinho can distance himself from his own star status, so it's always going to end this way. I still hope he'll prove me wrong this time.

It's not Pochs fault that Levy is an incompetant Director... pfft...

Oh well.. let the Mourinho show start...

Crystal Palace 1 : 2 Liverpool

The Reds did it again, dogged by controversy and now two pursuers. In another twist, Sterling was robbed of his goal by an elbow.

Man City 2 : 1 Chelsea

Quite a long time you're giving him, Naika ;).

The game yesterday was excellent. Sheffield is a joy to watch and ManU pulled themselves together this time. The 3:3 draw was a Solomonic outcome.

Solksjaer is in over his head, IMO. Pochettino is available. He won't be for too long. The suits over at Man U should make their move now.

Poch can also just wait it out, collect his contract from Yids, and wait to see what other doors open.
