Unbeaten in 20 league games Howjy, and 10 of them have been draws.

[For Us All]

With just 6 wins in 16 games,Jose has the worst home record since Utd.were last relegated in 1974.

Would have had 10 points from 3 wins, 6 losses and a draw.

Really good and important win for Liverpool yesterday considering they started the game without Henderson, Lallana, Coutinho, Firmino and Mane and also dropping two points against Bournemouth at Anfield. (Who didn't see that one coming a mile off?) They've been under par this year as of yet but have still managed to beat Spurs, Arsenal and Everton and a Champions League place is theirs to now lose.

 

Spurs were superb and if Chelsea slip up and Spurs can make up 3 points it could suddenly make the title race very interesting. Don't see Chelsea dropping too many points though, but in the PL anything can happen and far more surprising things have happened than Spurs pipping them on the final straight.

I thought that Mignolet was immense yesterday and made two world class saves.

Brilliant performance by Palace last night. Arsenal were really poor but it was Palace's tactics and application that made them poor

Indeed, and he's had plenty of games where's he has kept Liverpool in games. But for some reason he never gets credit for this, yet when he makes an error he's sodomized for it. He's not one of the top keepers in Europe and he doesn't have the presence of those top goalies, but his shot stopping is second to none.

Arsenal's defending was shambolic though, and even I can say that as a Liverpool fan! I'm a fan of Bellerin but since signing a new contract he's been a liability for them at right-back.

 

Klopp should make up with Sakho and make him part of his plans for next season. He's been absolutely outstanding for Palace - Helped by the fact that their manager doesn't try to make him play out from the back and tells him to just defend, something which he's very good at.

But Klopp wants more than that from his central defenders so Sakho doesn't fit.

I don't see why. As long as one of your centre-backs is comfortable bringing the ball out from the back then it's ideal to have a Sakho type next to him who's job is ultimately to defend and put his body on the line. For me a Sakho/Matip partnership is the way forward. Klaven is bang average, and also getting on, and Lovren can be excellent on his day but has too many poor games.

 

It was Sakho's attitude that Klopp didn't like (way too much of a joker) and ultimately got him loaned out and wasn't about his defending or lack of ability as a defender.

I agree but I wasn't on about what you and I want

A front for the real reason..if he were good enough and the right sort of player he'd put up with the other stuff.

Rent boys go down at Old Trafford.

Title opens up?
