I'm so glad I don't support England. You look at half the players that regularly make that squad and I personally wonder why I didn't make it as a professional footballer.

It's pathetic, isnt it. Called up for who you play for rather than form or ability; it's a sham.

Was talking to the lad about the llama and his thoughts were he was a good player, picked on form. Once I'd explained the basics of him actually having to set something up he soon changed his opinion.

Anyway, Dippers are still shit, possibly even shitter. Now where's that Laughing thread ;-)

The cheeky scamps.

Do any if these actually know how to play football. Reminds me of a Sunday league match at the moment.

Am I being too harsh or have Liverpool got only one tactic, to hit long balls over the top of the Watford defenders?

Nioe, not being harsh at all mate, they are now resorting to LVG tactics as they don't know how to get in behind. Watford played them at their own game, pressing them all over the pitch. And it worked a treat.

Just shows how really bad we were in our game. Yes, there were some shit decisions but the formation and players deployed were a very straight 'Yep, you have the game, we're concentrating on Europe'.

One of the main reasons I won't watch England play International football. Plus the fact Shrek is captain. That was the final nail in the coffin for me.

Well, the new manager surge has worn off and its clear that while Klopp's tactics, properly executed, can be effective in the PL, this squad wont implement them effectively on a regular basis. I expect to see a few signings in January and some improvement but a proper restructuring in the summer. This year their best hope is the two domestic cups, although missing out on Europe could actually help them next season.

Madrid have sorted eight with another twenty minutes to go. Vallecano had the temerity to go 2-1 up before the referee realised he wouldn't be paid so he sent two of their men off to ensure a Madrid win. Bale has got four up to now

Dippers are a fucking joke. How they manage to play like they do against us and then follow up with this shite.

Klopp ran out of magic dust?

very interesting that a proven manager in another big league comes to the Prem and struggles.
could Pep experience the same? La Liga and the Bundesliga aren't exactly the most competitive when you're managing a top club.

Shit league with dodgy officials. They were losing 1-2 before the ref decided to intervene sending two players off.

Klopp's struggling because he inherited a poor squad. A management team of Herbert Chapman, Brian Clough and Bill Shankly would struggle with that lot.

Don't forget that even in a two horse race there is only one winner. Iker Casillias was at Madrid for 16 years and won the league only 5 times with 2 Spanish cups and 3 CL. Therefore in eleven years they didn't win the league. Pep has won leagues most seasons he has been a manager. The fact he has won at Barca and Munich doesn't diminish the achievement in my view. He has had competition in both those leagues and also in winning the CL. BFS thinks along the same lines claiming he'd win the league every year at Barca or Madrid. Laughable in reality

Brian Clough wouldn't.
