Punts for xmas season...jolly times.

[cyrille]

Oh dear.

Chelsea lose the relegation dogfight.

[blue]

Mourhino will sort it out , he will invent a siege mentality with the referees ,the FA, the media , in fact the whole world against Chelsea - this will bond the team together for a resurgence..
Trouble is he's played that card a few times too many already, and can't seem to think up a new tactic .

Liverpool players look better value, maybe
Skirtel, Milner, and though seemingly croaked for a while Coutinho

[Jofrey]

Hazard letting me down.....will be hoping Barkley stays quiet now

[Jimmy McNulty]

Likewise Jesus, Chelsea are shite.

And that Coutinho doesn't make a miraculous recovery.

And that Coutinho doesn't make a miraculous recovery.

Yes, I noticed that would be rather unfortunate for you.

(Mahrez first sub)

[cyrille]

Should have been a hat trick for Lukaku last night - he also hit the inside of the post and the underside of the bar.

Then Barry went and got the faintest of touches on deulofeu's assist for the goal he scored.

Pretty decent week...but could have been so much better.

[Jofrey]

seems very difficult to make decent progress up the ranks this season.

most of us have 8 or 9 of the same players and it's only the odd lucky captain choice that's helping....need a few big name lads like Hazard or Rooney to get into the festive spirit and shake things up.

[cyrille]

Maybe studger could still be the 'x' factor too. Benny showed his limitations the other night...

[Jofrey]

Think Studge is crocked again...hamstring is the twitter report..

It's the front sevens that are the same - so the keys look to be defenders, captains and possibly subs over the festive period.

An unusual approach from noon to go into a game without anyone on his bench playing and fts available. Punished for it with kolarov being rested, and that lead could be eaten away if Harry has a field day.

[Jimmy McNulty]

Yes, interesting. Hi Noon.

Why doesn't Noon post here anymore. Were Joffer's mindgames too much? Is he looking to fantasy manage unsullied by the chatter herein? Is it that he doesn't want to admit how wrong he ultimately was about Cardiff / Solskjaer / Mackay / Zaha? Come on, Noon, the thread needs the posts.

In other news, Cyrille, can I look forward to hitting you across the head with a chair in Lens at some point next year?

[cyrille]

Let's, whatever happens, make sure we pronounce it 'lense' for the duration.

Tough group for the republic.

[Jofrey]

Sweden and Italy are very beatable.

Belgium have won nothing.

I think we'll get through ok.

[cyrille]

Harry heading for another goal drought?

[cyrille]

One possibility is that I did an amazing job last season and brought the players to a level that is not their level and now they can't maintain it.

The egomaniacal comments that Mourinho could get away with when he was winning really do make him look like one humongous twat these days.

[Jimmy McNulty]

Two free transfers this week but a real paucity of options to bring in. Hazzy and Kaney are sticking out like sore thumbs but they've both get better matchups than their potential replacements.

Could go back to a shithouse fifth for the time being. Stanislas looks alright. Heard that now monk is gone that Siggy will be 'back'. Bit of a poor relationship by all accounts.

That Monk sacking is a strange one. Especially if they bring in Bielsa.

[cyrille]

Especially if they bring in Bielsa.

I reckon that would be a mad move.

He's a bit of a case by all accounts.

They'd be better off with someone oitshtanding.

Klopp: An Alternative View




The West Bromwich Albion winger James McClean has labelled Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp “a bit of an idiot” following the German’s behaviour after Sunday’s fiery Anfield match between the two teams.

At various times in the 2-2 draw there were words exchanged between Klopp and his West Brom counterpart, Tony Pulis, and at the final whistle there was no handshake between the two managers.

Klopp raced to celebrate Liverpool’s late equaliser with his players rather than going over to Pulis, although he was confronted by a member of West Brom’s backroom staff, the coach Mark O’Connor.
McClean played the whole match, and the 26-year-old Republic of Ireland international was unimpressed by what followed the full-time whistle.

“I’ve got respect for the man because he’s done a great job at Dortmund, but I think he’s a bit of an idiot if I’m being honest,” McClean said.

Speaking to BBC West Midlands, McClean added: “In the game on Sunday … you can’t act that way. Win, lose or draw, you’ve got to be respectful.”

Just as well for you two lads that Jose got the boot, according to 'The Telegraph'...

Mourinho had decided that Eden Hazard, who effectively substituted himself in the defeat to Leicester City, would not face Sunderland, while Oscar was also set to miss out.

[Jimmy McNulty]

I've fucked him off anyway. Read rumours that there's a dressing room split with him on the one side, perhaps with Costs and....everyone else on the other. Plus he looks like he may be sitting this week out anyway. Freeing up a bit of Xmas cash for Ags perhaps too.

[cyrille]

Clearly it's time to start captaining Mahrez. At which point, of course...

[Jofrey]

Boat has sailed...

[Jofrey]

Pretty shite season so far....nothing much in the way of differentials.

Think Ivanovic could be best bet this gw.

[cyrille]

Boat has sailed...

Well, people have been saying that for a couple of months now...
