A wonderful bit of play acting from Mainoo there. Not surprised at all that the ref bought it though.

I’m not sure what the consensus on here is. Do we want a united win or a ‘pool win? I’d hate to see ‘pool win the league, but I’d like to see Utd drop points. Boring draw with collateral damage for both sides would be ideal.
With the Man Utd v Liverpool fixture most definitely depends on the context

Man Utd could creep up the table if they win also win win if Liverpool win obviously keeping Woolwich 2nd and if we beat Forest we could be 12 points clear of United.

A little worried I must admit with the above especially as Woolwich fans in my workplace are all of a sudden popping up from the surface like moles lately. Getting horrible early 2000s vibes with their fans ramping up their cockiness: really hope it’s consecutive bottle jobbing. 🤞

It's full anyone but Arsenal mode. If United catch Spurs then we don't deserve CL.

Nunez is the best shit player I've ever seen.

Or the shittest best player. I don't know.

He is so strange. Has that Zlatan style about him then does all this Sunday League shit.

If he was consistent he could easily be one of the best in the league.

Probably but his positioning has been a bit suspect. Obviously still learning tho.
I can forgive that due to inexperience and playing in a side that is poor defensively conceding so many chances. But you can see the potential in him for sure.

Absolutely .

On a different note, ref has been pretty good today. Has made for a much better game than last week.

As good as Liverpool are, there finishing is really bizarre at times. They'd have been stuffing teams 6/7-0 recently if they were clinical.

I thought Szoboslai was the second coming of Stevie G? He's looked absolutely wank today.
He's very good this season but not been quite at it today. But he's held their midfield together this season.

You're worrying too much mate.

Firstly, United have far too much to do to catch us.

Secondly, City are just starting to click

The amount of space in the middle is a joke. Liverpool just stroll through it every few minutes. Very open game

You gotta admire Liverpools gung ho style. Rather than City and Arsenal's robotic chess style shit. It's like watching some of Fergies teams Liverpool.

Remind them the season isn't over yet. They could be top tonight, but it's being top after game 38 that matters.

I’m more annoyed watching Liverpool waste chance after chance than I am when spurs are losing. How lucky can Arsenal get?!

As much as I hate Arsenal I'd say their style has been closer to Liverpool's than City's this season.
