Fans trying to make the league is weaker are kidding themselves.

I absolutely think the league is "weaker", and has been for the past 6/7 years.

But then I think that the standard of football at the top level is weaker across the board. International teams are weaker, Europes biggest clubs are weaker, there is just a dearth of quality everywhere.

Where are all the world class players? Compared to 10/15 years ago the truly great players are thin on the ground, we have a regression to the mean and a lot of solid teams but few truly great ones.

Which is how you end up with mediocre players like Harry Maguire going for world record fees. It used to be the likes of Thiago Silva or Rio Ferdinand held that title, now its Harry Maguire? The standard of defenders these days is like a microcosm of standards in general, outside of Van Dijk who else is there? De Ligt?

Just my opinion, but this is certainly no golden age.

Brilliant goal Wolves.
Robertson completely skinned.

Good game on here. Cant help but feel that liverpool will nick one

klose

Not sure who traore is trying to fool saying his physique is from genetics and not gym work, man is in some shape.

Mushy

Angle just too tight there. Allison did well to stay up, made it a touch harder

fullstop

So greedy from Salah.

"Football was way better when my team were the best. Now my team are **** every team is ****."

HArry Maguire is the record transfer because United massively overpaid for him. Nobody remotely considered him the best defender in the world.

Mushy

Glorious opportunity missed there.

And now Firmino at the other end

This is it

Could see this going either way

Pyjamarama

Bobby!!!

LuckyLloyd

Come on!!!!!

This is it

BBBBOOOOBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBYYYYYYY!

This is it

Feel bad for Wolves, seriously put it up to Liverpool.

jacool

10 away games in a row!

magma69

Wolves will feel hard done by if they come away with nothing. Quality team and absolutely in with a shout of top 4 this season.

sideswipe

First time seeing Wolves in a while, some very good players in that team.

Liverpool’s toughest game this season

Arghus

How the Wolves guy didn't see Traore completely free to his right was criminal and then Firmino makes them pay.

DrumSteve

Get the managers off the screen

Shanotheslayer

What's the most away wins in a season? I assume City have the record?

Mushy

Was that Robertson who booted the ball away? Probably dying for FA cup game off but ref wasnt doing it

Very competitive game. Liverpool just shading it.

Might marginally reduce the number of times McManaman says "X can't believe it" on commentary at least:rolleyes:

Great effort from Wolves. The win of an historic team. Dug to the core of the earth once again.

.G.

Brilliant win for the reds there. Wolves have nicked more songs off us than points.

Henderson scores and then assists the winner. Great captains performance from him.

Its a pity we probably won't have an invincibles season this year. Can see Klopp resting a lot of players for the champions league/FA cup now that we have the league wrapped up in January.

What can you do? Small price to pay I suppose.

Altho, I see what you're trying to do.

In all seriousness - genuine question to Liverpool fans

Invincible League or League & FA Cup?

Taking CL out of the equation as I assume if they won league and CL it would be FA cup for the treble.

I know your joking but some people think we will do that when its actually won. I don't think we will or even can, this team functions best when it has rhythm from playing regular games, we've seen it before when they have long breaks they aren't great first game back.

First game back after the winter break might be interesting!

I want the league and European cup double, FA cup and invincible would be a nice bonus.

Always a cracking atmosphere in the Wolves stadium.

Definitely another Cup rather than going unbeaten.

Im not bothered about going unbeaten,.
