Title "Stroll" 2019-2020

[fah-q]

I'm buoyant but also slightly wary as there's a long way to go.

It is a great time to be a red, what a difference to the end of a decade we fell into chaotically.

The other thing that is mentioned a lot in the media is that we blew a ten point gap last season. It’s not strictly true.



City had a game in hand and the next game we had was against them. From ten to 4. That goal line decision and Kompany not getting sent off were hugely costly.

Yep.

Ridiculous way to look it.

And even then, there was hardly a capitulation. We won our last 9 games ffs.

Im in dreamland. Not been a better time in the last 25 or so years for me.

Amazing how some idiots can keep a straight face and say a team who got 97 points (and won the European cup) bottled it.

Yeah this is better than it's ever been in my life. I remember the 80s, 1987 and all, the unbeaten run that Wayne Clarke ended, all that stuff. This is better. It's incredible. This is our greatest ever team imo and he might not win what Paisley and others won, but we'll look back on Klopp as our greatest manager too imo

It’s weird to be 8 points clear in early December and for the mood to not be a little bit more buoyant

We're like a fighter that's just landed a punch on Tyson's nose. You're ahead on points but you know it could all go ****ing wrong at any time.

This is an amazing place to be but the fear of 'choking' has us all holding our heads and hoping it doesn't unravel.

Are you saying we're Frank Bruno?

I hope not.

Leicester were poor against a very poor Everton side yesterday. Side note, a clearly struggling Davies cost them the draw, that and over committing for three points when it was obvious Leicester needed space.

Its a matter of when with Silva, and as has been pointed out by others on here, he's probably just in a job to ride out this wave of hard fixtures first. Out of his depth by a long way.

It was an annoying watch but i'm more concerned at playing Everton as they are hideous in a tackle, its like they don't know how to be aggressive so they borderline foul every, single, time. We will do well not to pick up an injury but three points should be straightforward, despite them playing like their lives depend on it.

[BigChief]

Yep, just like with Klopp spectacularly losing his 'finals loser' tag last season let's just get the league title over the line. Then I'll be talking about quadruples every ****ing August.

[greenturnip]

I guess the reason we're nervous is that we're still not playing that well. I was at the match on Saturday and thank God big Virg stepped up cos we weren't creating that much, especially in the second half. Leicester have one game a week (part from Xmas schedule) so should be fresh every week. We look a bit tired...not physically, but perhaps mentally. We need some solid wins with no heroics or nerve-jangling last 20 mins...starting against the blue****e.

I think for me it it’s the World Club tournament. It feels like a right pain, will disrupt our rhythm and I just don’t care about it with the League title on the line.

I've made this point previously but with injuries and must win games piling up, I think that the World Club Cup could be a blessing in disguise. Matip and Fabinho will miss one less game. Robertson looks to be still struggling with the injury and it could be an opportunity to give him a rest. Throw in a little warm weather training and a morale boosting first win, it may benefit us more than hinder.

Yeah, that’s a better way to look at it.

Oh nose!

I'm just trying to say that we're in a great position but it's scary as **** being there.

Just realised City are away at Burnley tonight. They had a tough time there last season when they were flying - could be tricky tonight.
