      I'm still far from impressed with Spurs but they are grinding out the results.

      It's that F***ing Son. He can't stop scoring...b***ard!!!!

      Nice to get Jordan back into the middle of the park it was noted on LFC how we missed the tempo he gives the team. I think we have been a bit "passive" of late and maybe with out list of injuries Jürgen is just keeping a lid on things trying to keep everything for the last 6 or 8 games. Its a big pitch at the London Stadium and that will give us plenty of space for our front three to do their stuff

      Think the reason we’ve been a bit ‘passive’ of late, is more due to the opposition defending with 10 men and is not getting any space up top to attack. Difficult to be dynamic with no room to operate in !
      If Hendo was in the middle those games, everything would be backwards and sideways as there was never any spaces to play into up ahead. Then he would have been slated 🤷🏼‍♂️

      We've got two chasing us down now. Pep is trying to ramp up the pressure.His idiot full back Walker insults Klopp, and Pep backs him up. This "nice guy" act that Pep sometimes puts out there is a ruse. He is as ruthless as anybody and is not above playing mind games. Pep knows his defence can leak and he will carry on trying any tactic to gain an advantage.

      We have to use this to our advantage. Get a bit of anger in there, bit of fire. We can't let Pep set the agenda, the narrative. It might not be Klopp's style but a bit of anger isn't a bad thing.

      Well we can enjoy it for another day anyway :-) although hopefully Everton manage to exceed everyone's wildest expectations and win a football match!

      Do you even trust them to get anything done! They'll try their best to give City a huge goal difference.

      You may as well put £20 or more right now on Everton losing. It's almost guaranteed risk free, for Everton to bend backwards.

      Remaining HOME games are :

      Bournemouth, Watford, Burnley, Spurs, Chelsea, Huddersfield & Wolves. (19 pts)

      Remaining AWAY games are:

      United, Everton, Fulham, Southampton, Cardiff & Newcastle. (16 pts)

      Gives us a tally of 97 pts, that should do it.

      Marco Silva is a couple of bad results away from getting sacked. I can't see Everton rolling over, City have lost to worse teams.

      Said something similar this morning mate.

      Start of December they were 2 clear I think.

      Now we’re 3 clear but in a tailspin according to some.

      So 5 points better if you take from there.

      *or 2.5 and 4.5 for the gods of goal difference

      Good way of looking at it.

      I just can’t stand not winning when we have taken the lead, so I’m a miserable git for a couple of days until I’ve gotten it out my system like :D

      I'd say he is one good result away from a F***ing uprising!

      I’m the opposite and I know it can be hard to take / infuriating.

      He got out of required military service when his national team won a tournament. Don’t know specifics but I remember it was a thing.

      OK so the tricky games in that list are Spurs, Chelsea at home and United, Everton away. Wolves might be tricky although they'll probably be in holiday mode come the last game of the season.
      Of those games I'm fearing Spurs and United the most and we'll need to be right back in form before then but hopefully we'll have our defence back by then and get some mojo back into the boys.

      Anyway first things first lets smash Bournemouth on Saturday, then we get 10 days off, in which time please no more silly trips anywhere and lets focus on getting everyone back fit and healthy and also work a bit on defending set pieces and some variations involving our midfielders plus adopt a more direct attacking approach, get that killer instinct back into the team.

      He needed to serve in Korea's military for about two years or so. At some point he needed to go, and his employment with Spurs would have been disrupted.

      But he was part of the team which brought home the Asian Games men's football gold medal for Korea in 2018. That team earned themselves exemption from service. He'd probably be on his way if Korea didn't grab gold. Was a good outcome for him and his employer.

      its all about Tempo for Klopps tactics to work and if people bother to understand that and watch how Henderson keeps the ball moving whatever direction it keeps the team's tempo high. Lately we have been back to just pushing the ball around and then hoofing it long.
      Not only Jordan but young Trent is such a big miss going forward too I think we have missed Joe and Trent more than we realise
