Liverpool F.c.

Just now, owl sees all said:

Only one real blockbuster this week but plenty of scope for big team slip-ups.

 

Last time out 7 correct with 2 perfects. Not bad, but we hope to do even better this week. Liverpool you plonkers. Had you down to score 6 and you couldn't even score one.

 

3-2 Leicester v Palace
I like the way Leicester are tearing up the table. Why saints ever let their manager leave is beyond me. I rate him big-time; not that it matters outside TVForum. Palace are a different team under Hoggy, Tough game to call. Lots of goals.

 

4-0 Arsenal v Newcastle
Arsenal are in danger of getting the trophy for most unpredictable EPL team of the year. What can you say; brilliant against Man Utd and Everton. Very poor at other times. Don't know what's wrong at Newcastle. The trapdoor looms.

 

0-1 Brighton v Burnley
On a personal level Burnley are doing well for me. Bought at 41 some time ago. I could see their consistency back then. Brighton are a fair team at home but I reckon The Clarets to nick a goal and hold on.
 
3-0 Chelsea v Southampton
Easy win for Chelski last time out. This should be just as comfortable. Saints for the last few years a top 8 team have slipped into mediocrity.

 

1-1 Stoke V WHU
Draw all day long.
    
2-0 Watford v Huddersfield
I can't see Hudders' getting anything out of this one. Watford back to winning ways.
 
1-1 Man City v Spurs
Can SuperSpurs stop the Sky blue steamroller? I reckon they can. Don't know how Spurs will approach this. It's not in their DNA to 'park the bus'. Should be a great game.
    
2-2 WBA v Man Utd
Pardue is a manager that can do it if the players believe in him. Apart from the first couple of games Albion have been poor. Pardue has only to lift them a little and we'll see a different team. Utd will have to settle for a point here.

 

This fixture holds the record for highest score draw and the second highest goals in an EPL game along with Spurs v Wigan and Man Utd v Arsenal.

 

1-3 Bournemouth v Liverpool
Bournemouth have established themselves as a solid EPL outfit and are no push-over at home. If Liverpool have their scoring boots on they should get all three points.

 

3-0 Everton v Swansea
Watch for the 80 metre goalkeeper pass to Rooney. Everton seem to have the right man at the helm. Results first; decent football later.

 

+++

 

Biggest game for me outside the Prem'; Forest Green v Luton. A big test for Rovers against high-flying Luton.
 

Stoke to win.

Bournemouth to draw

Defoe to thank.

Hoping your right about Leicester. 

Utd to win

Brighton to win

Bloody hopeless.

 

Didn't see that result. Leicester v Palace. 0-3

 

I'm going to bed.

Fantastic response today - against a below par Bournmouth, who have been pretty solid all season.

 

big up yourself to Firmino, Coutinho, Robertson, Salah, Hendo and most of all Chamberlain. 

 

That lad Chamberlain is a fantastic role model for anyone on this planet, hard work and a humble positive attitude shows you what you can achieve.  His handling of the Bein post match interview defending Coutinho to a stupid question, top lad.

 

nice to Ings and Lallana back. 

 

Highly recommend St. Hallet's 2013 Faith Shiraz with this match

I was just thinking the same. I'm going to be Down Under, looks like I'll be having a few Champagne breakfasts...

[Bredbury Blue]

Bob, we play:

31st Palace (a)
2nd Watford (h)

Brutal!

Getting to Palace at the best of times but on NY Eve..unfair on the travelling fans.

Whatever happened to games over the festive period being at Stoke or Yorkshire or North West for Manchester teams.

How long more is manager going to persist with Mignolet?

Turkey he is, he cost Rodgers the title a few years ago.

Is it just me, but all Liverpool need is a top keeper and a commanding center half.

Should have sold him in the summer he would have got a decent fee on the back end of last season.  

Problem is Klopp doesn't trust Karius any better, like to see award get his shot.

itd not just you hackjam,  but Klopp is rather picky and too trusting of his men.

also don't k ow why these muppets are allowed to speak before match, going on about how do the defence has been, kiss of death that.

VVD omitted from Soton's side yesterday.  If you get him it will be a massive boost to your top four credentials obviously.  Klopp is getting ever so tetchy when the defense question mark arises so i'm expecting this to happen unless a silly offer comes from somewhere else.  

 

Another question for you;  anyone apart from me think theres real question marks regards Henderson.  Is he still good enough?

Yes and i wouldn't blame anyone club being in for him, he's a quality player.  Hope he's left out on Boxing day too!!!

He’d prefer Klopp, rather than a medal already won by Cheque Book Charlie before he’s transferred. 

Delayed by bloody fog here, stuck in T3 DXB, free booze and an executive suite mind. ?

Are you saying you've bought him then?

Er, no. Jan is expensive anyways, so if 2 clubs are in for him Southampton will up their price no doubt.

Spending striker money on a centre-back. The shame !

[wilai]

Goretzka to sign a pre-contract agreement?. Next season looking promising.

[smokie36]

A crazy January deal.

 

Your manager will be grinning. ...now who's keeper are you stealing?

Must be the most expensive centre-back in history? 

Well when your average net spend is half that every summer, allows us to indulging once in a while.

Nice to see yet another player choose the Klopp project over rivals. 

[Bredbury Blue]

Not the most expensive centre-back in history but a fee that will set a new world record for a defender.

When we spent centre back money on a striker (Mo), it sort of evens itself out ! The pride!
