Leicester is going to get killed next year...  People will find the way around their cheeky playing style. Our of 3 loses this year, Arsenal beat them twice.

Hell, even we beat them. But yea, Leicester will regress significantly. It's sad they stole a UCL spot because they'll get wrecked in that too.

Leicester basically had no injuries all season long.  They played the same squad every game.  No way they can get that lucky next year with everyone going after them and extra CL games.

Ranieri has managed to get the best out of what was an average bunch, looking at the names on paper. There's no promise he can't get a decent job out of his fringe players, given what he's done with the likes of Morgan, Huth, Albrighton...

He plays very deep 4 with 6 players never leaving their half unless it's a corner or free kick.  He dares people to come forward.  When teams do come forward, they kick the ball as far as they can to Vardy and Mahrez, basically asking them to do everything.

Raniere is not a genious, he's using the same concept Chelsea used 4 years ago to win CL.

Sakho has been our most consistent CB for two years. No way we get rid of him after a short dip in form.

His passing/dribbling has gone down considerably, and he gives away possession a lot this season when he's pressured/pressed. Lovren does not have those issues and his play of late should solidify him as a starter there, and I don't believe JK is bringing in Matip in to sit on the bench. He'll play. If Sakho and Skrtel are kept around as backups/sporadic players, I'm good with it, but it's obvious an upgrade is needed there.

 

Also, I'm aware that Mignolet was just extended, but I've just never been convinced that he's EPL starter quality, especially at a club like Liverpool. I think looking for a GK is in Liverpool's best interest.

Sakho's pass percentage is 90% while Lovren's is 82%. Sakho had a poor match, but he's been way more consistent than Lovren. And let's not forget it was partially Lovren's fault Kane scored. Poor positioning resulted in that goal. I do think Lovren was the far better player on Saturday though.

Lovren is also racking up cards. His erratic challenges are great when he gets the ball, but eventually he's going to cost us. Let's not forget that Lovren was a complete disaster for like a year and a half. He's only recently come good, so I'm not yet putting all my eggs in the Lovren basket.

Big win today - 3 goals within 6 minutes is huge. Too bad I still don't see Leicester dropping many points, if any. That gap is just too huge to close at the moment, and although I'll be hoping like crazy, it's a tough battle to win.

 

I can't believe I'm saying this, but come on ManU and Chelsea. Beat those foxes!

Glad Spurs won, gave us some breathing room in the 4 spot. LCFC would have to collapse at this point for Spurs to snatch the title though.

Yep, looks like top 4 is set.  Arsenal vs MC will be a fight for #3 spot.

Watch West Ham spanking Leicester.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.

      LOL wut? His career stats. 24-44-1 With 9 wins his highest ever.  With Barkley 64% 14000 yards passing going over 3000 just 1 fuging time 70 tds 47 ints to go along with 50 fumbles.  50 fuging fumbles In short he has 1 season over 5 wins.  1.

      So a starting QB with 5+ years of experience and whose stats are very similar (if you do math) with Cam Newton's stats (who had much better defenses and offensive lines) here becomes available, and Bryce is your QB and you do NOT kick the tires on Jones.  You simply call him a "broken toy" and do nothing.  That sounds like a very passive approach.  Remember, you labeled him, not the stats he accumulated on some pretty bad teams since 2019.  I am telling you what a smart GM would do, and even if Jones is broken and can't be fixed, you make that determination after giving the matter due diligence.  You and Completely are simply forcing your opinions about his play into logic, and the stats do not support them.  Put him in a better situation and he will do better, but in a bad situation, with some terrible offensive lines, WRs, and bad defenses,  he was on track to have stats that parallel Cam Newton--like it or not--numbers don't lie, nor does his size, arm strength, speed, and intelligence.  Broken? I am saying he is an interesting prospect and should not be overlooked by bias, misinformation, and context.
