Is Liverpool`s title defence over before

Page 2 of 3

They have a handful of injuries which is nothing compared to what Spurs endured last season. Though the media will have you believe they are the unluckiest team since the dark ages.

I suspect the officials will still find a way to drag their darlings up the league.

Anyone with aspirations of winning the title this season that finish below us should be embarrassed.

We’re a mess right now with injuries, Covid and VAR. Ne excuses.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
VAR (like last season) has dragged you up into a false league position. Injuries or no injuries, that will continue.

Hopefully they do, they owe us already big time after the start.

On another note, Leicester seem to be getting all the luck, like when they won the Prem. They will be playing a Liverpool side with half the team missing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Take it you haven't seen how many injuries Leicester have in defence too?

I'm assuming that Sandy will be calling for this season to be null and voided given the situation with COVID 19 and the second lockdown as he did in March and April. If not, some people might consider him to be a massive hypocrite!

Getting all the luck? We haven’t seen Ricardo yet this season, Maddison missed the start of the season and isn’t deemed fit enough to finish a game yet, Ndidi will be out for 12 weeks, Amartey even longer, Soyuncu will be out for around 12 weeks, Castagne for four, Evans missed three games and Vardy has been out for a few weeks too. Yeah we’re having all the luck 😂

Nah, precedent was set last season, when they allowed the season to finish, just so Liverpool could win the Prem, no matter the consequences. So this season has to now finish as well.

I have only heard of Maddison, assume the rest are just your squad players. Vardy has hardly missed a Prem game.

Remember Sandy, Liverpool don’t get many injuries because of their fitness coaches and player recruitment.

Or something like that...

But we have all seen the number of Pen's you are getting. Probably even beating Utd in that department. Vardy top scorer ......yeah right, easy when you get to take a couple of penalties each game.

Oh Sandy you do make me laugh 😂

So you don’t remember Ricardo scoring against you last season then? I’d say you blotted it out of your ageing memory but you remember Maddison, who scored the winner in the same game. Never heard of Evans, Soyuncu or Ndidi 😂 all three of them as well as Castagne would be first choice and so would Maddison, who missed the first month or so.

Vardy was unavailable for a few games with a calf injury but yeah he doesn’t miss many.

Testament to our squad depth that we can have our first choice defence, defensive midfielder and our most creative player out for most of season and yet we’re still top.

Yeah PL record, eight in eight 😁

We’re getting so many penalties because the opposition struggle not to foul us. Not the players fault their movement is too good and keep getting fouled 😂

Remind me who won the Golden Boot last season because I can’t remember 🤔

Kane would have easily won the Golden Boot last season, but he missed three months of the season, may have been longer.

None of them scored the winner in the last game Leicester played against Spurs. I believe it was 3-0 to Spurs, just about our most comfortable win of the season, and a very one sided affair.

Last season, Sandy was 'concerned' about lives. Now Spurs have had a half decent start to the season, he has no such concerns due to a self centred delusion that Spurs will win the league 😆😆 So, massive hypocrite it is.

I am very much concerned about lives again. But as i said the precedent was set last season, just so that Liverpool could win the league. I am still of the opinion that last season should have been abandoned, and no winner declared. And this season should not have started. But now it has, it has to finish.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a logical inconsistency to this position. Last season has started but should have been cancelled. This season started (during a period of low COVID rates) and now that situation has changed to be worse than it was in April, but according to you HAS to be finished. The only contextual difference is Spurs potential finishing position in both seasons. So you should, if you are not being massively hypocritical, either call for this season to be null and voided, or be consistent and agree it was right to finish last season as well. I look forward to your belated congratulations to the 19/20 champions, Liverpool. If Spurs win it this season, I will happily reciprocate though I still think we will win it again despite our setbacks. The best team over the season will win it - let's wait and see. All the best to you Sandy and stay safe.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah probably the most comfortable in terms of score line but using your own words you were completely outplayed. Basically you did what we did in our title winning season, a style that you have maligned countlessly on here.

We had 71% possession, 24 shots to your seven, 90% pass accuracy to your 71%, 697 completed passes to your 285.

We only won four games out of the last 17 but still finished three points above you but anyway that was last season and is irrelevant now.

We’re a lot better than we were last season and lessons appear to have been learnt. Rodgers has moved away from his rigid style of play and adapted to the opposition and you can guarantee we won’t let you hit us on the break three times this season. We’ve put three past WBA, four past Burnley, four past Leeds and five past City and ended our 46 year hoodoo at Arsenal and all this with five key players missing or six if you include Maddison, who only played 20 minutes against City and Leeds.

It remains to be seen whether Spurs are or not, with the exception of smashing an awful Man Utd side you’ve not played anyone with any quality yet. You struggled to beat WBA and Burnley and haven’t played City yet. Let’s see how much you’ve improved when you play them next week. Having watched the WBA I thought you looked awful, couldn’t pass the ball and created nothing.

As I said Spurs easiest three points of the season. Expect much the same this year. Very average side punching above their weight, with their best player a 34 year old.

To be honest Arro, you totally bottled top 4 last season mate. You were in complete control at the start and completely threw it away.

posted on 15/11/20

Leicester are a very decent team but i feel they lack the depth to maintain a challenge over what will be a hard, compact season, esp. as they also have Europa League.

As for Arro's explanation as to why Leicester's start is so much more impressive than Spurs' its funny how Spurs smashing United is nothing because Utd are terrible yet Leicester's big wins vs Leeds (15th) Burnley (18th) & WBA (19th) are far more impressive Ignoring the fact that SPurs ahave scored more than Leicester.
