It's still annoying but I don't look at it and think we should have 'x' number of points from any mistakes that refs, VAR, or we have made. What's to say we beat Spurs but our mind set changed, or De Zerbi picked a slightly different side for Chelsea and we go on to lose a very loseable game...

I want this to be the team so March can have a rest. My worry is not having him to support Gross. If Veltman was fit I'd be ok with this.

This is based on the teams gaining maximum points. Mine is based on what I think could happen based on form and game difficulty. It wouldn't need a poll otherwise Do you see Villa wining away at Liverpool?

I know I felt odd doing it, like I should let things ride and not put the mockers on it. Couldn't resist looking at the connotations though! Completely agree about the draws. I just couldn't decide which ones would go either way. Plus, saying I thought we would win a game might do exactly what...

I think even 4 points would put us ahead of the curve. Would be disappointing if the win was against Utd and the point against Everton though.

Just fancy Brentford! Nothing more to it than that. Villa will likely need a result at Liverpool and that will play into their hands.

This is based on the assumption that Liverpool will probably finish 5th because of their favourable run in. They haven't completely turned the corner and look vulnerable, but they're much improved. 5th spot is technically in our hands with games in hand but think it'll be place too far with our...

What's the harm in having him here for a year or two if he's up to the standard? Considering all positivity that comes with him. As I said before a squad player would cost a lot of money now that we've reached the heights that we're at. I'm sure the club would like to put that money into...

Yes we had the better of the game against Forest but we were also clearly knackered. We were far more open than usual and they had good chances. I put that down to having virtually the same team as the semi against utd. Plus, being tired isn't just an ability to run and up and down in straight...

Some frankly ridiculous comments saying no thanks. Would hate to do a cross compare of those against anyone crying out for squad depth on the other thread. Has he been worse this season? Probably, but so has their whole team. Has he been picked less, yes, but Klopp has realised he needs to...

Steele Caceido March Lallana Mitoma Tried to format a 2-1-1 formation. Didn't work.

Haha luckily I've had some training over the years! The pilgrimage will be well worth it if we play half as well as we have this season.

Just got my first season ticket after years of getting to a half a dozen or so games through friends tickets or full price. I've gone west upper where I've always tried to sit for random games. Personally I love having a higher view of the pitch where you can see passing angles and movement a...

I'd say his best position is one of the two centre mids in a 4-3-3 (not the sitter). In a 4-2-3-1 he's not a winger and probably more suited to being one of the two if he has the discipline. Sure he could do a good job as a no.10 but that's not where's he's played even before joining.

Demons fan here. Got into it after living with an Aussie from my cricket club. Great fun watching them win the flag in a Belushi's at 8am with dozens of fans from both teams. Didn't watch a lot last season as it was getting a bit much watching sport in the morning as well as the afternoon and...

We'll praise our players for the 'dark arts' and be quite happy to go at anyone else that does it. Find it very boring.

I said this on another thread and think a lot of people, seemingly most, have forgotten that Sanchez is good with the ball at his feet. I think he's actually better than Steele. The reason Steele is playing is because he follows instructions about how and when to use the ball. So it's more...

Member waiting to see if I can buy with STH's

My impression of the Sanchez/Steele situation is that De Zerbi doesn't necessarily think Steele is better technically, more composed or creative than Sanchez. But that he follows the instructions given to him about how and when to use the ball. For me Steele's technique is worse and he isn't as...

I think even if we make Europe we wouldn't be spending money and wages like this (an Italian international who recently signed a contract with Juve will be paid more than our highest earner). Obviously if we make Europe there's more chancing of us doing so but I still can't see it. De Zerbi's...
