      I wouldn't call 4 nil and 2 nil results scraping wins.

      I think City will win the league comfortably unless they lose De Bruyne and Dias through injury for a couple of months.

      I think they would need to add 3 or 4 more to those 2 you mention to the injured list mate :-(  . They look in the mood to get the title back to me.

      City have got stones, garcia and ake to back up laporte and dias.

      They have torres,  Jesus,  Mahrez, Foden and Bernardo to back up for aguero sterling and Kdb.

      We only have 2 players capable of scoring a goal it seems plus 1 on the injured list. And we have 2 cb's on the bench who we won't play. Origi is a complete passenger last season and this season. Minamino doesn't get a look in.

      So, city could lose 2 or 3 cbs and a whole front 3 really (aguero out most of the season anyway) and they would be fine. 4 or 5 out of form? One of the others will produce.

      Now, we can question just how they have accumulated all that talent, not within the rules in my view. But thats the depth. Jürgen has his core 14 or 15 and we need them on it all season ... like they were last season to compete. A couple drop off and bam.

      Its incredible what oil money can buy you isn't it. It is completely unfair that one team can spend so much more than its competitors, they have to bring in some sort of squad budget limits to the Prem and other leagues

      City were 0-0 until they got an extremely dubious goal awarded, the penalty was bloody lucky as well. Oh and 4-0 at home against a team we beat 7-0 away is not that amazing either.

      Obviously both Utd and City are better than us at the moment, but this is not the City team of 2-3 years ago.

      Seen rumblings the oil c**t is looking at Tuchel as a coach option. That would be a good get for them so let's hope Frank can hold on longer.

      Max Allegri would be an even better choice.

      If we don't snap out of this downward spiral soon maybe we'll be looking for a new manager as well.

      Knock it off dickhead. It's a slump and bad run of form, but we're not exactly calling for the managers head. Want to behave like that F**k off and support Chelsea!

      That's what dropping the ball at home for the first time in 4 seasons, does to people.

      We're going through the traditional New Year Hangover. It's not the first time it's happened with Klopp in charge, and given how much success he's brought, it's not the time to lose the head.

      Usually the leaders are well in front at this time of year, but not this year. So a 6 point gap is not an insurmountable task with 57 points still to play for.

      ;D, coming from you that's funny.

      Are you  guys saying Klopp is untouchable, I guarantee the owners don't see it that way. If we drop out of Top4 and keep playing sh*t the owners will start to get nervous.

      On current form, possibly. I expect things to turn around but my point was IF they don't turn it around in the next few games then pressure will build.

      There's not a chance his job will come under threat anytime this season no matter the results. You forgotten what's he's done for you over the last 3/4 years.  ;D You really do give up far to easily  :lmao:

      That's mad.

      I'm pissed at our form this season like many of us but you have to take our injuries in to account. We haven't had a settled team since early October.

      There will be no pressure on Klopp other than the pressure he'll put on himself to turn our form around.

      Said it for a while players were going to suffer injuries this season, teams with various dips in form, no fans and all that entails and the obvious effects of covid. We just to need to snap out of whatever we're going through at the moment. Season ain't over yet, but we need to kick start some momentum soon.

      Start with the spawniest jammiest goal we can score like going in off Bobby's arse or something to win the game on Sunday.

      We have a narrow window to get our act together if we don't get back on track immediately I think we'll have too much ground to make up in a few weeks.

      We just need to up the tempo and not over complicate our play around the box. Get more bodies in front of goal, keep the pressure on the defenders, pass the ball quicker to moving players, F***ing put the foot through the ball when a chance presents itself.

      We've been doing this for three seasons we just need to remember how good we are and start smashing teams again.

      Who will replace KDB i wonder? Gundogan or Bernardo Silva, or Foden or mahrez ... won't hurt them too much.

      Exactly.

      Vardy at Leicester is a different story though I think

      Don't be so sure about that, they normally always miss De Bruyne and surely at some F***ing point Man Utd have to get some injuries as well!
