Thank you BIG MAN for giving us a merry christmas !

Lovren duly obliged with three comedic lapses of concentration. But of course we're all superstitious fools and it was just a coincidence.

 

[Red Astaire]

Is it me or does Klopp sound like he's just boshed 3 love doves at halftime! He's talking a million miles an hour! LOL

 

[ibromurph]

Easy.

There was a moment around the 80th min mark I think where one of their attackers was running into space over on our left side with us short at the back. I was panicking because VVD was just jogging back... I needn't have. He somehow caught up without breaking stride and just took the ball off him.

Jimenez? He tore forwards towards the corner and Big Virg just strode up and robbed the ball and released Andy Robertson with a good forward ball.

He is boss. Like £200m boss.

I think he put the ball in the net and started the celebratory job towards the corner flag in one fluid motion, never breaking stride. What a player!

Great win against a very good side.

Merry Christmas, everyone !!!

I think if you want to dry something quickly, a towel is a better option than a wet, nylon fibre shirt

I've been wanderin' around on my own for the past few weeks. You know, helpin' people out with towel safety and proper towel use. It's important.

I really didn't realise he was this good before we signed him and in his first few games, I didn't see this level of performance in him. Consistently too.

Mind you, he'd just come back from a long term injury.

Another 2 CFs today in his pocket. Against Troare, he let him run and shoot wildly from tight angles knowing his quality was pure speed and to twist and turn.

And against Jiminez, he just bullied him off the ball like he was a small child.

Such intelligence, such skill, such grace. It's kind of like when we were watching Suarez. But only at the back.

VVD ... just simply amazing and simply the best...worth every million. Your comments spot on.

Merry Christmas everyone..

Top of the tree - 48 points. Only 7 conceded.

Don't get much better.

Fabinho looking like the player we bought. All we need now is one to go in off Keitas shins and he'll show us why we paid €50m+ for him.

Pervert.

 

[KopRed]

Easy.

That's a red card there from Traore TBH. The way he dive in 2 footed after he knew he lost the foot race. If Virgil got injured there we will be crying murder.

 

[gkmacca]

We're too well-mannered. Whenever a team does make a point of bringing out the ball boys and the huge beach towels for throw ins, I really think we should insist on the same service - it's in the rules. Then we should really go for it - dry that football within an inch of its life, take ages - thoroughly dehydrate it, even bring on some eczema. Absolutely drain the life out of the game, so the ref cannot stand it any more. That's the way to end that nonsense.

We could finish it off with one of those snazzy Dyson hairdryers, too.

Correct regarding Fabinho - but Keita is doing something right - which retaining the ball and carrying it a little - that is helping the midfield quite a bit at the moment. Wolves had more of the ball I think after Keita was taken off.

That was a brilliant, hard arsed performance against one of the hardest away fixtures we’ve got to play. Salah and Virge were ridiculously good. Very proud of the team

 

[Fabio]

One of the banana skins of the season gone, and we seemingly didn't get out of third gear

Love it

[bcolor=transparent]Eight of the past nine teams to have led the league on 25 December have gone on to win the title. The one side that did not was Liverpool in 2013-14 - they finished second, two points behind Manchester City.[/bcolor]​

Yep. And before that the only other team to do it was .... Liverpool in 2008

Third time lucky

The fuck are we superstitious! I had to claim we were dropping points several times and @Fabio had to be ultra negative to cancel out Degsys bad juju.

 

[Woland]

City have won all their home games but drawn a couple and lost one away. Tomorrow they'll have played two more home games than us. Let's hope they drop some points at Leicester and Southampton and we win our games.

Going to the emptihad with a four or five point cushion would take so much pressure off us and put so much on them, we'd twat them.

I'll shut up now and have a wank instead.

I can't control the tubes, they just let me know the inevitable loss

 

[Bradley]

No chance of City dropping points this weekend. Hodgson is more interested in Warhammer these days than football.

 

[IGotALuvlyBunchOfCoconuts]

Amazing season so far, merry Christmas.

The footballing Gods are a merciless, insatiable bunch. We won't win the league this year. In fact, we'll never win it again.

This Adama Traore if he could shoot properly he could be an awesome player

Yes you are right - he was really difficult to deal with in the M'boro side last season I think (or maybe the season before), his pace is unbelievable, but it ain't just his shooting - his decision making is poor and that is why M'Boro sold him. I understand he is not getting enough game time at Wolves recently and M'Boro are thinking of signing him back or something. I think Klopp would consider him the same as Jordan Ibe.

And a brain

Just been told the City result for tomorrow, score draw.

Mad.
