TBH I dont see us making Europe this season. That'll be a blow. But I think Chelsea and Spurs are beginning to get themselves together again. Arsenal will always get a late run together and United will be top 4 contenders for sure.

Top 8 is where we should realistically aim for. Top 4 no chance. 5th to 8th definitely.

The best managers make consistent teams though.

The players that cant provide consistency are bombed out the side - whereas we give ours the captains armband (Siggurdsson) and change a winning system to try accomodate them somewhere (Iwobi) (Davies)

I mentioned in here a few weeks back Liverpool can have 5-6 first teamers out yet still tonk a good team like Leicester because every player be it £50 million signing or academy kid runs through brick walls for Klopp as they are terrified of being bombed out the club by him if they dont.

The mentality stinks at Everton and has done since Moyes left (and it wasnt the greatest even then).

Klopps been there 4 or 5 years.

Strange reading. Man Utd only won that as they have so much quality. Bringing on Fernandez changed the match. West Ham should have been out of sight in the first half after playing them off the park.

As usual, you can have the best tactics in the world, but you cannot account for a gulf in quality and failure to take your chances.

And?

In Klopps first season they got to a cup final and within 2 years im sure they qualified for the Champions League.

Carlo has been here 1 full year and we look no better and Brands has been here 2.5 years and the squad is no more balanced than it was under Walsh bar 2-3 good signings the managers got in (Richy, James, Allan).

The Leeds chance that Harrison missed is the only big one I can remember not being scored against us this season to be honest. Even the half chances we’ve given away have all just flown in. We’ve conceded loads from outside the box. Some of them are Pickford’s fault granted, but still these players are hitting the corners from 30 yards out whereas United and Liverpool have players missing from 2 yards against them.

Man Utd's bench is a cheat code. Fernandez was just far too good for them. That said, that first goal should probably not counted, as the ball looked out of play. Ole gets out of jail again!
 

Need Chelsea to do us a favour now and beat Leeds. We won’t be anywhere near Chelsea so it would be better to keep Leeds behind us and keep Chelsea in the title hunt.
 
Fully expecting another Leeds Sky lovin. One of the biggest and best clubs in England etc even though they haven’t been in this league for about 15 years.
 
Saw a decent game today and a surprise win for my local, bottom of the table this morning, team Bath City, who won 2-1 at second placed Dorking Wanderers in Nat League South.Good crowd and well done to Dorking for getting it on and managing the Covid protocols effectively and sensibly.
 
Well Sporting Lisbon just got absolutely robbed. How on Earth is this impeding? He's got to challenge for it - you can't jump with your arms glued to your hips.
