I absolutely and passionately believe that the day we stop kicking the ball at the goalkeeper, we will score more goals, thus marching to the title.

I don't know why this isn't discussed more often.

De Gea's considered world class due to people kicking the ball straight at him.

"That could've been the goal that won us the league" kind of argument. It doesn't hold any water.
Sturridge doesn't exist in a vacuum.

Is that 1 scuffed shot we were luckily able to score the rebound of a justifcation of his general performances?

Is he a better option than even a fairly average player who'll work for the side on that basis?

I really don't see how.

It's a bit cheap to choose a sentence that I never uttered and shove it into inverted commas and stick it at the top of your post in an effort to belittle my point of view.

Let's call a spade a spade, your first two sentences have nothing to do with anything.

If this a contest about who gets the most thanks then you win.

I'm not arsed about that, I'm defending a player who has done well for us and people like to take cheap shots at him.
Some of the stuff I've read about him on here you wouldn't see on a Manc forum. It's piss poor.

Next question... does a scuffed shot excuse his performances?
Well, it's a loaded question. If his performances were so poor then he wouldn't have been brought on, and his "scuffed shot" was the difference between us winning and drawing because nobody else that night had the balls to shoot.

Is he a better option than a fairly average player who will work for the side?
Again, a loaded question.
But the answer is in your own question, 9 words in.

It's a wonderful thing, the internet. Where people can sit at home and slag off players playing for their own team.

We could be down in mid table mediocrity by the time we kick off tomorrow.

Harry Palmr

Can't be any lower than 5th. A win would mean an 8 point gap between LFC and Man Utd but a defeat would mean 2 point gap - that makes it a 6 pointer!

Turtyturd

Think ppl are putting too much emphasis on this. Even with the worst possible result tomorrow the fact that things could swing so much on the back of one set of games shows how tight it is and could just easily swing the opposite way another week.

A draw tomorrow is fine, a win would be delicious. A loss could possibly be heavily demoralizing

True but Swansea next week is as good a chance as any to get things back on track.

redzerdrog

I think for utd it is a must not lose game, we can afford to lose more than they can and for that reason I expect Jose to bring the double decker and be happy with a point. He might let the handbrake off for the last 20mins if he thinks he can get the win

And to top it all off, the winner to be punched in by Firmino in an offside position, while fouling the goalkeeper.

Leicester doing us no favours it seems, 1-0 down 6 minutes in.

One_Of_Shanks

loved Klopp's comments today

“Fear? What could I fear? I don’t fear things like this. At this moment I’m 100% positive, absolutely looking forward to the game.
“I’ve had so many defeats in my life, especially as a player, later as a manager too, that I really know defeat is not the problem. Your reaction to it is the problem.
“We’ve now had four days to react from a really bad game on our side. We have the opportunity to react in a very important game.
“I love it. That’s how football should be: you can react immediately. At this moment, anything is possible.”

So yee guys are now effectively saying we're a 10 man team when Sturridge plays.

That's a pretty big insult to Sturridge.

I'm completely amazed by the comments on Sturridge on here to be honest.

He's going to become one of the best forwards we ever sold.

Great for him if he does.

But he won't.

So, anybody fancy pi$$ing the mods off and start a match thread?:D

Aye,a few times but I can't get the image of him ****ting the bed every time he got through one on one with the keeper out of my head.

Most likely he'll score a couple of goals before buckling under the pressure of being the main man for a smaller club and end up being 'injured' most of the time.

I look forward to the inevitable goal against us though and the ensuing 'we never should have sold him' debate.

Even worse were the 2v1's where he made the exact same run as his team mate with the ball.

He won't need to score against us for that debate to take place.

Anybody know of any add ons that would remove all mentions of him because I'm sick to the tits of reading about him.

Turty's ability to get up the noses of annoying people makes him a hero.

Coulson for the other half and bingo, no more Sturridge talk, they have over 700 posts between them on the man.

Well this is a disaster of a day.

Agent Coulson

Now if Bobby had his own fashion line in baseball hats with built in topknots I'd buy that!

Not really. If we lose tomorrow it will have been a bit crap alright but if we win it'll have been great.

Did anybody expect any of our rivals to drop points this weekend?

Yes, Chelsea was a hope, they just lost a match, no Costa, Leicester good home record, I'm sure lots hoped for points dropped there with good reason.

Not really. A few people got to slag off one of our own players and got a few online "thanks" for it so it was a good day all round.

Still obsessed with Thanks. Funny.

Misguided hope I reckon.

Didn't think they would all boost their goal differences this much. I did think Leicester would raise their game.

A lot of the top 6 play each other in the next month so it'll change a lot

Yeah I thought the Leicester that played City might turn up today. They didn't.

Chelsea, Spurs and United are all on some runs. Chelsea's defeat at Spurs is the only dropped points between them all recently. Pressure intensifying.

On the plus side all the other top 6 have to play each other during the run-in. We don't.
