Today's Football 2023-24

[CannockPricey]

All 3 of them could genuinely win it. There's a million things than can happen. They all have European football, and it depends which games are sandwiched between European trips. A red card here, a penalty there, a couple of injuries. There's always a game that they 'should' win against a Brentford or a Palace, and they drop 2 points.

City are rightly favourites, because of what they have consistently done at this stage of the season in the past few years, but any of them can win and all 3 of them will drop points at some stage.

Completely true and I still think City win it.

[Cereal Killer]

I mean, they win every match at Anfield. So you're looking at away fixtures at Everton, Man United, Fulham, West Ham and Aston Villa.

Maybe Moyes will have one of his giant beatings at home whilst there's a possibility of Villa fighting for CL might cause them trouble. Would still back them though obviously. The other three are automatic wins.

Nah Villa absolutely crumbled today under the slightest bit of pressure

Those two defenders just throwing their arms up in the air and giving up when it got passed by them for the third goal, they’ve got no bottle

[CannockPricey]

I will admit my feelings towards Villa but they have been the biggest over achievers of the season. I am not sure they have particularly bottled it, more that they have reverted to where they should be. Last five home games they have beaten Forest and lost to Spurs, Chelsea, Newcastle and Man United.

That probably is about where they should be.

Yeah I agree. I think Liverpool are favourites for the title with that Man City v Arsenal match to come.

People said Man City and Liverpool would both drop points in the 18/19 season and they just didn't. Liverpool winning their last 10 matches of the season in a row isn't a stretch.

Their squad back then was a lot better than it is now.

The likes of Nunez, Diaz and Gakpo are a huge downgrade on mane and firminho.

They’re predicted to win the league every year on here and have only won it once.

I think Klopp knows the squad isn’t quite good enough which is why he’s leaving and why he’s announced it so they can run on klopps last season fumes.

[Shogun]

I hope you're right. I don't think this Liverpool team is anywhere near as good as Arsenal or Man City but it hasn't stopped them being right there with the two of them. They don't have to play particularly well to blow teams away in the space of half an hour and Salah seems to be the ultimate cheat code. They can have a bunch of players out injured and just bring in a random 20 year-old with little downgrade because of what Klopp has set up there.

There are some tough away fixtures there tbf, including ourselves and Man United (Zero faith in either like), but yeah, I just don't see it.

Fiorentina vs Roma for me tonight.

Love my Italian football Sunday nights.

Should be a good game this.

[TheRam]

What a game.

Fiorentina miss a pen at 2-1 up then Lorente for Roma scores a peach of a volley in the last kick of the game to level it.

Liverpool will rip Villa to shreds, like I’d expect them to score 5+ goals.

Villa play a crazy high line at home, it will play right into Liverpool’s hands

Would agree with that but I was just saying I don't think they have bottled it. They just aren't really anywhere near being a top 4 side quality wise. To be where they are is incredible really.

[Shogun]

Lovely goal from Isak there. Quality player, feel like he's still got plenty of higher levels he can go.

[Gash]

Don't think I've seen a game where both teams give the ball away so much.

Chelsea back in front.

Made that goal look easy. Soon as he scored, I wondered how that play would end if Harrison was in the same position for us

[Shogun]

Chelsea fans singing "Champions of Europe, you'll never sing that" to the Newcastle fans. Shame how quickly the Intertoto cup has been forgotten.

[Gash]

Fair play to Eddie, he's going after his record, conceded 3 or more goals 12 times in his last season at Bournmouth, I think that's 9 times so far this season.
