Very brilliant game so far. Manchester City and Liverpool really did their home work for this game.

The key from both sides has been press the opponent hard and pass out cooly from the press.

Liverpool have been fiercer in attack but I feel when it comes to the game plan, Manchester City has been the better side. Especially when it comes to passing out of press.

The Manchester City goal clearly highlights it.

We should expect an exciting second half.

Spot on analysis.

Messi really needs to try and score from open play... Ansu and others should help him!!!

It's becoming embarrassing tbh!!! Sigh!

Messi's mind and soul no longer at Barcelona. That I think is the reason for his recent poor performances.

Farki:
He had more open play goals this season than Messi.

True, that!

Fernandez scoring two goals from open play?
Wonders shall never end!

RedPhoenix:
How easy will that be. Winning the league these days isn't about quality but fluke,luck and happenstance. The tip twelve spots in the EPL had just almost a point in many parts of the table for a long time last season. This isn't magic to just come and win any trophy with less than quality spending. When coaches like Fraudiola are willing to empty the Central Bank of Suleja to buy players.

Guardiola is not a fraud bro. Maybe he's slightly hyped than he deserves but he's certainly a good coach. And "winning the league these days isn't about quality but fluke, luck and happenstance."? Come on, bro.

RedPhoenix:
Lol. Yes. Less than quality additions.


Refused to give Pochetinno additions. Cm on. Even Jose wasn't given free hand outs but squeezed to get free transfer players, low budget additions. With no names prior to coming to Tottenham

I'm back!


Tottenham is one or two injuries away from collapsing!
Let Harry Kane and or Heung Min Son get injured, and they are as good as down.

RedPhoenix:
I'm not a Mourinho fan. I like the confidence I see them exuding and the belief the boys have in themselves now. After all Mourinho is using more or less the same team Poche used with less than quality additions. What's the excuse?

Less than quality addition? Levy refused to get players for Pochetinno and the team became stale. Do you know how many players Mourinho has signed?

It's been fun discussing football with you bro. I've got attend to some things now.

RedPhoenix:
I expect him to get more attention in all sincerity. The same way I'm not in total agreement with the comparism with Pochetinno's Tottenham. There was serious inconsistencies in the last season under him that made previous performances looked like fluke.


Tottenham has been consistent in the past 6 months if I'm asked

Pochetinno spent about 5-6 seasons at Tottenham and experienced decline in the last year of his management there and you call that inconsistency. There is bound to be diminishing return after some time bro. Check Guardiola's last season with Barcelona.

I see you are a Mourinho fan and you definitely want his praises to be sung by the media. I used to be his fan like you until I came to realise he's brute, arrogant and disrespectful.

Unfortunately, these are qualities I completely detest. I like and respect his achievements as a manager, but his personality? Hell no!

RedPhoenix:
Excellent analysis. But, let's not forget, it's Tottenham and the funds a coach can get from club sides like Chelsea and Manchester United aren't the same a coach would get with Tottenham which means, only fewer players and sometimes less desirable players is what the team can settle for.


Notwithstanding, I like how you summarised it that overall, the team seem to be looking upward under his management. What I find hard to swallow is why there isn't much about his impact on the team in the media. It baffles me.

Make no mistake! Tottenham's performance has been improved under Mourinho but it's still nowhere as good as peak Pochetino's Tottenham.

But he's getting the results now which will later allow him to focus on other areas.

And he's getting enough media attention when compared with the other chasing pack in the Premier League. At least, you do not expect him to get more attention than Guardiola and Klopp at the moment.

Anywhere messi is being discussed, I expect to see you there. LOL.

In terms of results, he has been very good. However, the performance has not been good enough except for a few games like against Man U, West Ham and the match they played 1-1 conceding a late penalty at the death.

They have somehow been winning without necessarily convincing enough. A case in point is their last match against Brighton. They were second best for majority of the match but still somehow found a way to win and this has been the theme of their play under Mourinho.

But he was appointed to win matches and he's doing the job for them on that front.

If Matip is fit enough to start, Liverpool wins. Otherwise, it can go either way

Modified:
Matip not fit enough to start.
I fear for Liverpool!

Minemrys:
you even underrate him. He scores goals. He alm0st scored against Evert0n in his very 1st game. G0mez hasn't scored any goal for Liverpool so far.

Sure! That's why I said he's good in the air - and that's in both boxes.

But he gets injured too often.

Tamel:
Maybe he is just out of form , Gomez before that nasty injury he suffered about a year and half ago (against Everton) was very very good . We rarely concede that time.. he was Van Dijk 2.0 then

Forget it! Matip over Gomez any day anytime twice on a Saturday night. Gomez is good no doubt but he is being hyped over Matip by the English press.

Unfortunately for Matip, he can't stay fit a long period of time. But apart from the injuries, he's highly underrated. He is a complete defender - good in the air, good with the ball at his feet, good in one vs one, exceptional reading of the game.
In fact, there were times last season that Van Dijk was no match.

Drops pen.

SilverNorGold:
No, my brother. That's another conspiracy theory. The consummation is a source of debate, even among critics.

My instinct tells me you are a Muslim but too ashamed to publicly declare it as a result of the shameful acts of Muslim terrorists.

Even 'conc' Alfas know that he consummated Aisha at the tender age of 9.

This confirms my assertion that ISLAM is the most PISSFUL religion in the whole world!

How about that?

Very good list.

Although if you are looking for the most complete, entertaining footballer at his prime, then look no further than Ronaldinho Gaucho. He was simply unplayable at his prime. Not even Messi or CR7 come close.

Unfortunately, he faded out quickly and his magic was lost forever. Painful.

Congratulations are in order.


And may you use your exalted position to improve the livelihoods of humanities worldwide.

Guy don't say what you don't know, water melon don't need much water thanks

Read my comments again. I am talking from experience.

I planted both water melon and cucumber in commercial quantities for some years bro. They both require adequate supply of water although cucumber needs more water if you don't want it to have a bitter taste.

marvola:
how do you sell?

Don't try planting water melon or cucumber now!
They require a lot of water and the rain may stop anytime from now.

3-1 correct score.
