Nihilistjnr even before kick-off we know Liverpool have already secured 3 points against Watford. Playing against farmers on a regular basis has it's perks.

THE FARMERS HAVE REBELLED.

spillo1:
LMFAO..... Ferguson didn't sell Pogba so your question is invalid. This is like asking why Ferguson sold Tevez when he didn't. Pogba left at the end of his contract after deciding not to sign a new one, since he wanted game time which he wasn't getting and was promised at Juventus.

As good as Ferguson was for United he also made some unforgivable mistakes.

Monkeyprick:
Its obvious you don't watch football anymore. You're talking about a defender that racked in over 10 assists at left back and does his part in Liverpool's defense that has kept the most clean sheet. He's won more majors continentally than the likes of Alaba and Sandro in the last 3 years.

He pulled those stats for Liverpool were the system favours both of their fullbacks. He is a good player that is not debatable but massively over hyped. Is Henderson world class or Firmino or Gomez? Good players who are helped by klopp system.

NextD18:
Simple! Na Robertson you dey watch pass, so it'll be difficult to know how good and consistent Alaba, Sandro and Alba are.

Fact is they only watch premier league so anybody from their who finally shines is the best in the world.

Jodera:
... Only in your team tho.
Robertson that have good defensive ability than those two, good crossing ability and also good with attack, coupled with a tremendous work rate.
I dunno how those two wan take bench am

What is with you people and overreacting players. Is firmino and Henderson world class as well? Robertson is a good player not world class. He has been below par this season self. Most of these Liverpool players are system players. Take them to any other team and they will flop badly.

Fladm:
Where is hazard please??!

Using goal+assist per game ratio

Kimbeast:
Boxing novice here so just curious. If and when all 4 belts are held by one person, how will they get broken up again to have separate champions?

If the champion does not defend them in a timely manner against the mandatory contender he can be stripped or he can vacate the belt voluntarily.

A40:
Exactly. It's almost like Wilder forgot this man has gotten up from my knockdowns and has lost all fear of it. I was expecting him to rope-a-dope and be a bit creative but man's got into a slugfest with a guy at least 40 pounds heavier than him.

It's not his fault at last sha. Can't change your ways in the 9th inning

You can't teach Wilder to box at this age. He had an impressive run for a boxer who couldn't box. A different trainer could give him more variety in helping him land that right hand though.

Better than a gameplan of just lose every rounds and hope you connect eventually.

Ibime:
Wilder rematch clause with Fury is the biggest obstacle to this fight. Pulev and Usyk can easily be paid cold cash to forego their mandatory challenge and with a promise of a fight against the winner.

Really don’t want a rematch.

That’s 2-0 to Fury. Wilder will always have a punchers chance but he’s been outclassed twice now, in two completely different ways.

Fury vs. AJ is what we need now. It’ll not happen though.

afrodoc2:
All these permutations go out of the window when you realize AJ has a suspect chin.
AJ does not have Fury’s chin, heart, or boxing skills.

AJ vs Wilder is about who catches who first.
Difference is that while AJ needs combos to catch Wilder, Wilder needs just a punch.

AJ and Wilder has lost its hype. Too much ridiculous marinating, and loses to Ruiz & Fury, it has become a background fight at best.

Ibime:
Wilder balance left after the eardrum perforation in round 3. He couldn't line up his haymaker after that.

Everytime he tried to clinch, Fury would press down on his neck and ragdoll him around, sapping any little balance he had left, then give him a takeaway punch on every clinch.

I can't say I'm disappointed in Wilder. He's simply a knockout artist who got his only weapon taken away with that ear shot in 3rd round. I'm sure he will argue he would have done better if not for the eardrum perforation.

Fury's team had an amazing game plan and they executed it to perfection. Every clinch situation, lean and push on Wilder and as the rounds progressed he would get tired. That limited his movement and eventually led to a stationary Target that Fury could pick off one punch at a time.

Wilder didnt land a meaningful punch past the first round and was staggering like a drunk. In the seventh couldnt lift his arms much higher than his waist. Honestly kinda sad to see

A40:
Brilliant as Fury was I was extremely disappointed in Wilder today.

I suspected AJ had more of a chance than people claimed after the Ortiz fight but didn't expect Fury to completely wipe the floor with him and I'm now big mad at Eddie Hearn and crew. Perhaps Wilder's body would have been on his CV and he wouldn't have picked up an unnecessary L to that teletubby

Fury and his game plan was perfect. He definitely learned from the first fight and made the right adjustments. That is why he won, he changed his game-plan while Wilder relied on his power. Everyone treated Wilder like some boogeyman and fury charged at him. The fight was over after the 2nd round.
This was Furys second best performance ever. Beating Klitschko still ranks higher for me.

Godx:
Wilder has scary power, but lets not get carried away and act like every second of every fight is just according to Wilder's plan. He was getting outboxed, and he was losing rounds. If that's a professional fighter's gameplan, it's not a commendable one even given Wilder's power. That sort of tactic will work until it doesn't, and it almost didn't against Fury. He will soon gets his long over due L come February 22nd.

Now I feel like a prophet. Fury didn't let me down.

You all were hyping Wilder before the fight. I Know my man Fury.

Cc A40
I told you bro. I said it last year . Fury is the Man

Swissh:

Should win PFA player of the year if he matches or surpass Henry record.

pamcode:
Not all but most. Off hand I can mention that they didn't deserve to win the Chelsea game, Tottenham 2nd leg, Wolves first leg, United first leg, Sheffield first leg.
All this game either had the opposition losing easy chances or they conceding from stupid mistakes.

And the bold is exactly the premise of my argument. Liverpool have not played anything this season to be having 20+ point gap and anybody who have watched thier matches can attest to that. The point tally does not reflect their true quality/strength of the team.

Greatihex:
man city hit 98 points last season with just liverpool as competition and pool get up with them. what do you think would have happened if the league last season had 2 other liverpools at that level?

you just making it sound like Angels are playing for liverpool and that whatever level the other teams would have been at; liverpool will still top everyone with 22 points.

No

I swear any time a40 says that I get irritated.. He just keeps saying even if you put all the best teams in history together with Liverpool in the league they will be still be 20+ points ahead like it's actually angels playing for them.

pamcode:
How many teams have they 'blown' away. The Liverpool games I have seen this season they have had to dig deep to win. There were some you knew they had no business winning but still managed to get all three points.

All the cups that have won this season and last have been gritted wins.

Finally somebody who is getting somewhere. I assume you have watched most of Liverpool matches this season so I will ask a simple question. Does Liverpool performance in the league this season reflect their actually point tally?

Melvyn11:
Very laughable.

It's called being hypocritical.

A40:
When you finish with this long epistle come and show me the team that has gone unbeaten in Europe and in their respective league in the last 40 years

You are just dragging for argument sakes. Liverpool league tally this season is not a true reflection of the team ability or quality but rather of how garbage the league is. The contrast between their European performances and domestic this season is a proof of that.You can go on turning Amala if you like but I am done. So Wilder and fury next week, who are you rooting for?

Melvyn11:
I blame useless Barca for all these talks about anfield this and anfield that. If Barca were not bottlers the myth about anfield won't fly. Teams have gone their in the champions league this season and given them tough matches. Atletico are the exact team with the defensive ability and discipline to frustrate Liverpool.

You just have to look at Liverpool clean sheet record in the champions league to know they are not as dominant as in the league. Just one clean sheet in 7 games.

Melvyn11:
You just have to look at the top 10 in the league table to know how garbage the league is. If any other team in rest top 4 leagues had Liverpool exact record this season the Epl fanboys won't care about the other positions from 2nd to 20th position or the slight margin between 3rd and 4th. They will downgrade the team and make statements that they are only good because of no competition and the rest teams are useless. Now that Liverpool are playing garbage teams weak in and weak out they suddenly care about the entire structure of the league.

Now someone is showing us point tally between 3rd and 11th to show us the league is not garbage. Lmaaooo

nihilistjnr:
Chelsea is sitting comfortably in 4th, only one point above Spurs in 5th, 2 points above Sheffield in 6th, 3 above United in 7.

And Chelsea play Spurs next.

Comfortable. Very Comfortable.

Mehn you people are so dumb.

Please keep your condescension to yourself if you can't read a full sentence

Godx:
Comprehension is lost on some people. They saw Leicester in a post and suddenly assumed Liverpool are Leicester. Out of 25matches this seasons the rest top 3 have a win ratio of 64%,60% and 40%. Yes Chelsea sitting comfortably in 4th for 2 months now have a win ratio of 40% with 7 losses from November up till now.

Melvyn11:
Spot on

Skimpledawg:
My guy, you didnt make any sense with that post.

Ok.

kendrick93:
[s] Another nonsense...
Liverpool are back to back Cl finalists,winning one.
Last season they got 97 points losing only one game....
Just because they lost to an atletcio team who are notoriously difficult to break down, so that makes them a Leicester?
Even the so called great barca teams lost 7-0 to Bayern, the great Bayern team managed by pep was also knocked out by atletico...
what kinda beer parlour analysis be this one [/s]

I hope you don't have reading and comprehension disability.

Melvyn11:
You have said nothing. This is arguably the second weakest primer league season in history. The fourth placed team is on course to finish with 60-63 points. That's a shit total for a 4th place finish.

They are basically having a Leicester season. Winning the league In a year every other top team are in shambles. That what I told a40 before the match even started. Liverpool league campaign up on till now does not reflect their true quality of a team or how good they are. They have a 96% win ratio in the league and 57% win ratio in Europe.

patrickmuf:
The Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea that was feared, are they the same as the one you saw in the past 2 seasons? Yes or no?

You didn't answer my question. All the other top teams in England this season has been piss poor.

patrickmuf:
Your attempt to rubbish the EPL is DOA...

Liverpool are just doing excellently doesn't mean City, Chelsea, Spurs and the likes are shit. If they were garbage, they'd never have made it to the round of 16...Simple logic na it dey hard a whole you.

Are city, Chelsea,Spurs, United and arsenal not shit this season?

Leyqute:
Napoli didn’t play Liverpool in the knockout stages.

and it is relevant because?

Melvyn11:
Unbeaten my ass. Godx you are very right. The Epl clubs are Useless.

Atletico had good opportunities to extend their lead. Liverpool had 0 shots on target. Game fell perfectly for Atletico with the early goal. They defended so well, the organisation was so good.
