In football terms, he was only on 7k a week, not too much, in real life, he was on 7k a week, holy ****

Doesn't sound like the type of lad Klopp would have in a team, I think he's a United fan anyway...

Frank Lampard's Chelsea have scored 11 and conceded 11 so far this season in there 5 league games I see lots of goals today.

The White Wolf

That's i why I fancy our chances. Lampard seems straightforward in his style and that's not a dig. I just think in a game where two teams play positive football we'll come out on top.

And I'm still annoyed over Tuesday. Really want to see a number of players cop on after their efforts in Italy.

Be fantastic to get the win today, Chelsea away is never easy for any team, whatever their current form

Don't feel that away about Tuesday at all.

Feel everyone left it all out there after a seriously tough game

NukaCola

Tough game today, need the 3 points obviously. 6 points out of 15 away to the others of the "top 6" last season wasn't the best despite how good the season was. We really need to improve on that tally this season.

Harry Palmr

That's the rather pathetic narrative the media are now pushing so short on crises is this team.

The 6 points from 15? Didn't watch any of the build up so not sure if its being pushed by the media tbh. 3 points away from Arsenal, Chelsea and United last season wasn't bad by any stretch but we really did need to get more from those games.

Nit picking of course but if we are talking about 98+ points to win the league thats where the improvements have to be made as tough as it is.

Harry is talking about the hacking story.

No I'm talking about the mini league - which the previous season Liverpool topped with comfort and even last year I think finished 2nd.

2017/18 season they topped the top 6 mini league? Is that what you’re saying?

Blanco100

Sunday supplement mentioned a story where liverpool paid some fine without admitting liability related to some of Michael Edwards dealings, thing it involved city aswell. Only caught end of it, did anyone here the story in full?

Edit: Found it

Turtyturd

Have a look in any of the threads on here. United fans have all the ‘scummy’ details.

rob316

As I said in the general thread how stupid were city not disabling those scouts accounts or login details. Pretty much standard procedure for any company when an employee leaves.

The same ones who adore the likes of Evra and Cantona, who seem to get a kick out of assaulting fans.

You can only laugh at the irony tbh.

Starfleet Student

Very clever of Brendan though to get the scouts to go back and get their scouting reports they built up but didn't bring with them.

Osmosis Jones

Now there's a stat

https://twitter.com/SimonBrundish/status/1175452397826711557?s=20

Mo Salah has a (non pen) goal or assist every 94.3mins in the
Premier League


The best rate of any player with >50 in history

Henry 94.5mins
Aguero 96

That includes his time at Chelsea where he did nothing too, if you're just counting his Liverpool time then it's a goal or assist
every 83 minutes.

I don't think that's true.

Turtyturd

Wonder if Chelsea will go with Giroud today. Don’t think I’ve ever seen as mediocre a player made to look decent by our defence.

Maybe Dwight Gayle?

Osmosis Jones

Just did the maths myself to check, according to transfermarkt he's got 7,143 total minutes played in the Premier League, 60 goals, and 21 assists. So 81 G+A, 5 of those goals were penalties so we're down to 76. 7143/76 = 93.98 so pretty much exactly 94 minutes.

EDIT: And just to be sure, Aguero has 172 goals and 45 assists, so 217 G+A, 26 of which are penalties so that's 191. He's played 18305 minutes. 18305/191 = 95.84

It doesn't sound like much hacking went on if the ex City scouts still had valid credentials to their ex-employers network/database.

Turtyturd

Clearly using facts to push an anti City agenda.

Doesn't sound as sexy as hacking for the headlines.


If the headlines were City didn't change passwords of ex staff that would make them look like 2 bit company not a billion pound company run by a genocidal rulers of a Country.

Osmosis Jones

One of the big reasons for that stat from Salah is just how impressive his assist totals are, in his record breaking 32 goal season he still recorded 10 assists. Kane in the same year got 30 goals but only 2 assists.

lol. City are not Abu Dhabi state backed. They are owned by ADUG which is owned by one man, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan. As well as CMC and CITIC Capital with Li Ruigang and The Ministry Of Finance For The People’s Republic Of China having a 13% stake.

Don’t let facts ruin a good headline though as you put it yourself eh.

Harry Palmr

Which is why it took six years to come to light. I'm sure both clubs agreed it would be best to keep shtum.

Tell that to the peoples of the Yemen who are murdered every day.

No need to reply we all know where you stand and I won't be engaging with you again.

So you continue with your sports washing.

That has nothing to do with Manchester City, just like it has nothing to do with Liverpool who have American owners for their part in Yeman also.

I don’t see any outcry or blame attached to Sheffield United who have Saudi owners. Laughable attaching that kind of scutter to Manchester City when there is no evidence that Sheikh Mansour has ever murdered anybody.

Just noticed you edited your post after I replied. You won’t engage because you know nothing about what you speak of & it’s blatantly obvious. If I didn’t know better you just copy & paste a certain Ewan MacKenna tweets, either way you do as you please.

China's genocide in Tibet does not count because they only have a 13% stake? Mansour being the deputy prime minster of the UAE is involved fully in the illegal war and the profiteering from the genocide in the Yemen.

Poxy lul between rugby and the pool match. Feck all decent on telly worth watching..

Fitz*

We should be winning today.

I think this is one the tougher away games that we have a real chance of winning in. Will be tight but we can do it.

Napoli game was high intensity but we played well. 2-0 not a fair reflection on our performance. Sub Gini in for Milner and we win it possibly . Tuesday to Sunday is a decent break too.

Starfleet Student

Abraham is in great form i can see him causing some headaches for the back 4.

Still a skwed stat , what happens when you add the penos?

But leaving out the penos why do that. Just calculate the stat with the correct numbers. Otherwise your not give a correct reflection .
You can't pick and choose the returns per minutes because it suits you.

Starfleet Student

Goals from open play is a better stat than a stat where a goalscorer gets a free shot at goal from 12 yards.

But it still adds to there return. Both take penos so it should be added. It's simple really.

Off you go then and create your own stat seems to be a simple thing to do. i don't personally care myself who scores as long as my team wins.

I was frustrated with the front 3 to be honest. Maybe I'm being harsh and judging them against their own high standards.

One moment in particular sticks out is Firmino having free to his left in a promising attack only to take on the shot himself which wasn't really on. Quite uncharacteristic of him.

kingshankly

Is there going to be some strange team news Chelsea gambled from 3/1-2/1 which takes a lot of doing with a market that has a lot of liquidity in it

They looked like rabbits caught in headlights a few times. Salah looked shook when faced with Koulibaly. Hopefully, we have had the time to get over it and start fresh again today.

Same thing happened last season in the away game. Hopefully Salah repeats his terrorising of him at Anfield.

Think that's a massive, massive overreaction tbh.

Are we going to say this everytime they come up with a quality outfit and don't score?

They made chances. Be more concerned if they hadn't.

Salah was quite good first half, really unfortunate his runs were matched by some serious pace in the Napoli defence.

Agent Coulson

Liverpool line-up: Adrian, TAA, Matip, Virgil, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Salah, Firmino, Mane

Harry Palmr

Brewster in the squad.

Mason Mount and Kante start, but both will surely be gettable at.

Fitz*

Both Kante & Mount start for Chelsea which is a massive boost to them.

Back to a back 4, Azpicueleta at RB could be exposed possibly.
