Nailed on draw then ?
The Scousers and City losing is a touch. But we really did play the Scousers at the wrong time. Or at least, we were wrong to play so defensively and let a series of minor mistakes lead to giving away a FK which was unstoppable.Quote:

Unlike at St James today. I thought the Ref was looking to play out until City equalised.Quote:

Every week that goes by, with more Liverpool performances like this, that performance at Anfield looks more and more like a big missed opportunity.Quote:

City losing is great. But it we don't win tomorrow (and I fear we wont) then it is another missed opportunity.
And looking across the rest of the season, the injury situation needs to change. It is getting beyond a joke......
It's the only thing I worry about MA about. We had that season we lost Partey at the end and came 5th. Then Big Willy and came 2nd. Then came very close. Then last season, everyone was injured. So we buy a huge squad and yet will still have MnM up top, sweet FA on the bench and our 3rd choice LCH tomorrow.Quote:

It will be a mixture. Jesus is hugely injury prone so he isn't a surprise. But Martinelli and Odegaard aren't, nor is Ben White. Odegaard has been injured 3 times this season while hardly playing and White has been out for most part of a year or so.Quote:

Hopefully a fair amount of it is bad luck. But his lack of rotation is a factor. If we ever manage to get down to just 2 or 3 injuries maybe we will see him rotate a bit more.
I’d be happy with a draw tomorrow. I hate losing to that lot.Quote:

We do have a chance. A great chance.Quote:

Yes, we're clearly favourites for the title now.Quote:

Failing to win the first test of an Ashes tour? An ancient tradition solemnly observed since Margaret Thatcher's second term, I think :-\Quote:

Wop Chav shouldn't have tried to cheat.Quote:
