The Barclays Premier League Thread 2014/2015

[Baddar]

To come away from the Etihad, three points clear at the top?

Shame to lose the lead but there are no circumstances under which I would not have bitten someone's hand off for that.

Calm down, Suarez.

[EddieG]

Someone quote whoever said Costa and/or Fabregas would score!

[stokeriño]

......If that really makes you happy......

> Fabregas
> Costa

That's the goals front sorted.

...Yeah? :-/

[EddieG]

If neither of those players score today I will throw that post in your face for hours.

If other people get to be douchebags than so do I dammit.

Mainly for this

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

I'll take full flack for that. Fire away.

[stokeriño]

Still looking forward to MOTD2 tonight, though.

I have four Leicester goals to catch up on!

Never sure why people say Lampard is so far behind Gerrard and Scholes in the best of English midfielders discussion. His record speaks for itself.

In my eyes, Lampard has always been better than Gerrard personally.

Agreed on that.

Not sure on Scholes. I think a lot of romanticism is included in peoples thoughts about him these days.

[Cheeky Hughes]

Neville and Carragher are right there, it's more to do with Costa's reaction that makes the ref book Zaba.

I always struggle with Scholes due to the 'LOL HE CAN'T TACKLE' responses tending to mask what a dirty fucker he is.

Man United get thrashed and everyone is backtracking and panicking about their fantasy football squads.

Today has been well good.

[Cheeky Hughes]

Pellegrini just called Chelsea a small team that focused on defending. Bloody hell Manuel, way to give them a sound bite.

That foul was a yellow card without anything extra on top.

[stokeriño]

Nice to make it obvious when you're feeling the pressure, Manuel.

Oh, I can see the Leicester goals without having to wait for MOTD2. Awesome.

Cambiasso

Going off that basis, there was a lot of players on both sides who should have been booked.

[Colly]

There were a lot of players on both sides who were booked. If you're already on a yellow, you don't make that foul.

Just saw the Leicester goals. It's a free kick to Rafael, but what on earth is he thinking making that foul?

He's hot headed and childish. Same thing happened when he got sent off in that incident with David Luiz.

Despite how poor and outplayed we were, this ended up being not a bad weekend overall for Liverpool, considering Man U, Tottenham, and Everton all lost too.

That said, those results won't mean a thing unless Rodgers gets his tactics better, and the players to actually show up. Gerrard and Lucas are a terrible combo, we have zero centre backs capable of playing at a Premier League level currently, the new guys are all still blending in, and Mignolet, Gerrard, and Coutinho have all been very poor so far.

I feel like Liverpool have been found out, and it is time to change something with the tactics. While Gerrard never truly worked in the holding role, teams now know how to neutralize him on both ends.

lol united

Good to see that hasn't lost its spark
