...... Against Chelsea, what do you think Famz?!

Ole won't start our only 3 forwards together. More likely James, Odion, Martial, with Greenwood off the bench.

We need to beat Chelsea o, else na 10th position sure pass. We are now 8th on the table.

How come some teams are playing today while some are on break?

New format
EPL don get winter break

Teams that play this weekend won't play next weekend

My brother, I don't need to bookmark anything, infact, if we get a draw, Na win be that o, for me.

To think that a few weeks ago, we were dreaming of top four, (re: our fixtures vs Chelsea's), unfortunately, no progress since then.

It's a pity!

He still has the occasional panic mode. His touch has improved but because of his small size and lack of strength he still has has times when he has difficulty beating the press.

Very obvious. I’m just glad he’s improving steadily.

Michael Carrick didn't break into two in EPL.... And he plays like Busquet..

Player shud be able to think fast, and decide wat to do with the ball before it even get to them, with that, life will be easy

Michael Carrick wasn't spineless.

Under what circumstance is it okay for a coach to send his assistant to handle a game while he goes vacationing
Pep has taken his team for mid season break before at no point in time did he disrespect any competition by refusing to coach it

Would Pep have been afforded the same leeway to skip a game and send his assistant to coach that while he is on vacation?
If Pep had done the same thing this time 2 seasons ago when he was in all competition and leading the league comfortably would you not have called it arrogance?

He put 5 subs instead of 6 it caused an outcry how much more if he refused to show up because he felt that competition was unimportant

Did you read my post?

eph12:

Bruno didn't start deep. Perreira was supposed to be in that position but he was messing up. Bruno won't play there if we have Tom and Pogba or Matic fit.

What's the difference between the number of goals for Lukaku and Rashford this season. Remember one's team is struggling and has been out on injury while the others team is doing ok

what exactly is yr point sir?

Leyqute:


Did you read my post?

I read your post and at the end, you said he should be afforded a leeway

Why should a coach who decided not to attend a game rather went on vacation be afforded a leeway? If Pep had done that when he was leading the league comfortably and in all competition would he not have been called arrogant?
Given the noise about Peps arrogance

Pep called Spurs Harry Kanes team - He is arrogant - why can't he remember the team name in that moment
Pep named 5 subs instead of 6 - He is arrogant why cant he name one of the youth players who just played a game to come and pack the jersey
Klopp decides to skip a game, while he goes on vacation because the FA cup is not his main priority - He should be given a little leeway because..?

Why did I say he could be afforded some leeway?

How would I know your reason? And is this reason peculiar to him? Has any other club gone through the same thing and have their senior coach refuse to manage a game and go on vacation

LMFAO....Any one who didn't watch Dortmund vs Leverkusen really missed out on a great match. The amount of space afforded to players is always much no wonder Sancho is dropping those kind of stats.

If you read that post well you’ll know why I said he could get some leeway.

Now, if you’d acknowledged my perspective and argued against it (instead of restating yourself and going full throttle on what the spirits were whispering in your ears) we would’ve had a honest discussion.

Sometimes it’s as if you don’t read posts to understand. You read to reply. And I think that’s why you argue a lot on this board.

WHat is this reason that no club has witnesed before?

Liverpool this season has played max 2 games more than City. Are Liverpool the first team to play a lot of games and how does that give the leeway to a coach to go on vacation?

if Pep had done the same would he not be accused of being arrogant?

That is Bundesliga for you.

Both the good teams and the bad teams always play high line, with spaces behind every where. Even there defenders become pseudo-midfielders. No defensive discipline at all

Ehen. Now we’re talking.

But If you put into consideration the fact that they had to travel a long distance to play those Club World Cup games and that it set them back by a game in the PL and cost them the Carling cup(2nd team lost 5-0 to Aston Villa), you’ll agree that they deserve some time off.

Didn’t Man Utd forfeit taking part in the FA cup in order to participate in the Club World Cup the other day?

I don’t think what Klopp did was right. But I won’t berate him too much for doing what he did.

Pep on the other hand deliberately left a sub seat vacant because he wanted to push an agenda at that time. When Aguero got injured and Jesus was starting, did he name 5 subs since he doesn’t have an extra striker ?

Should’ve filled that 6th seat with a youth player.

Madrid has been playing this club world cup for many years

How many games have liverpool played this year and how many has Liverpool played

Club world cup was in Qatar, Some teams travel for same in the past and don'tknow if any coach decided to go on leave instead of coach it?

Teams play in Astana on Thursday travel many hours and play league games on Sunday
Man utd and city played 2 legs of carling cup, man utd 2 games in FA vs Wolves all with their first team yet Ole didn't think he should put his assistant on the bench vs some team

This guy or James in this current setup for RW.. who would you pick?

First point is moot. Madrid is in Spain. And they get loads of time off after Christmas.

Secondly, if everybody travelled to Qatar at that same time for the same reason, things will be fine. Liverpool HAD to travel to Qatar having it at the back of their mind that they’ll have to return to England AND play games they’ve missed.

And lastly, not many teams travel to Astana to play games. Man Utd traveled to Astana WHEN others were also traveling outside the shores of England. And did you see who Ole fielded for that game? U-18s.

City played 2 legs of Carling cup inside the same town. That’s different from traveling to Qatar for another competition.

It’s like going for an academic boot camp right in the middle of a semester. You’re progressing academically but you know you will have loads to catch up on when you return.

@Leyqute, you would observe I stopped responding to Dayo because he was making too many false claims and exaggerating situations.

I am enjoying your responses though!
