This match feels a bit like 58 year year old Mike Tyson taking on Jake Paul LOL.

I was going to say taking on Uzyk, but I think that would be far too flattering to Liverpool, who I still don't think are that great, certainly not 9 point lead levels of great anyway 🙂 

Silva, KDB, and Gundogan looking very leggy. 
 

End of an era.

They really are the only in form team in Europe. Credit to Slot for how organized they are defensively though. 

Arne Slot looks more like a project manager than any other top club boss I've ever seen.

Still isn’t over. One little defeat and their lead is only 6 points. Add injuries, who knows.

I think it is. Title race done. Only Arenal can hit a run of form and maybe make it a race, and I don't think they will. Gaps too big.

Strange to leave him (and Grealish) on the bench when you desperately need a shot on target, let alone a goal LOL

Pep did the same thing against Spurs. As good as a manager he is, his stubbornness gets the better of him sometimes. I think Spurs were 3-0 up last week and he had still not brought on KDB, Grealish until the 74th minute of the game which was absolutely baffling. Today, attacking they created nothing and looked ordinary. It was clear they needed to put Grealish or Doku on the left for start of second half immediately. He didn't and chose to stick with same team. I feel it is his pride that gets better of him sometimes. Playing Nunes out when you had genuine wingers was just an odd move.

VVD was brilliant btw. Dominated that game and had Haaland in his backpocket.

Just looked at the Everton and Utd highlights, the pressing by Utd was phenomenal in two of the goals Everton could not cope with it.

Ahmad played adding some decent pace on the ball and Zhirkee looks good too, Utd might yet make top 4.

Too early to be sure yet can't be ruled out.

Kinda relieved we played them before he took over.

Cairney's red card for Fulham was literally no different than Ndidi's tackle on Palmer. VAR told the ref to look at the screen in Fulham's game, but in ours, they said the opposite. It's the same story every week with these refs, they have no consistency.

De Bruyne looks like he has put on a bit of weight. Must be a thing with Belgian footballers 😆

I noticed that last week when he came on against spurs. I know he’s been injured, but he definitely didn’t look very athletic.

As it stands, you'd have to say Man City. Only 4 points behind them now, and they are currently at opposite ends of the momentum spectrum !

United's defence has been pretty solid, and if Amorim is now getting the attack firing then they have every chance ... especially as now every team will fancy their chances against City LOL

It is funny how even goat manager looks mortal when he doesn't have his best player.

Until City get one of Rodri or Kovacic back they are pretty ordinary.

The Rico kid has at times been good for England though perhaps he is inconsistent.

 

 

They'll still be ordinary with Kovacic.

I can see why a lot of folk are saying Title race is over and dippers have it in the bag but come on, we're barely into December and there is a long way to go.

One or two injuries to key players plus players getting jaded and losing form. They do look favourites right now but I'm still hoping their form drops off a cliff at some point and we get to see those famous dipper tears!

Agree that Rodri is the more important loss yet losing Kova as well is bad luck yet all teams have that from time to time.

The December and early January period will be interesting as Liverpool apart not many other sides look on form.

VVD looks a bit jaded for me might become an issue for the Merseyside faithful.

We should be eyeing 6 points from Saints + Spurs. 

Saw Spurs v Fulham and the latter should've came away from that match with 3 points. Very wasteful.

100%

Though we don't know which Spurs will show up.

Will it be Dr. Tottenham or Mr. Spurs?

Ms. Bottle is fine with me.

I feel the opposite. If we played him and his 3 at the back just as he got through the door I feel we'd have exploited them pretty easily, same way Ipswich did.

RVN, counter attack and vibes was their best shot at a result which sadly turned out to be the case.

Ha.... 🙂 

Little annoyed that the games worth watching are all tomorrow, and tonight we are left with Ipswich v Palace and Leicester v West Ham

Probably watch the latter. 

I was there nine (bloody hell) years ago when Vardy broke van Nistelrooy's record of scoring in consecutive league games.

Gives tonight a slightly odd pallor.

Jesus, I read that at first that you were 9 years old when he did that!

Was going to say I didn't think you were that young, you could've taken @CaitlinCFC on a date to Mcdonalds!

I mean I've been on here for sixteen years, and I'm still a relative newbie.
