Decline? I don't know. I think that's a bit knee jerk about a side that were in the title race until the final weeks of the season. A season in which they weren't expected to challenge after their midfield 'rebuild'. And that rebuild has worked. But too often they've conceded a sloppy goal - 'only'...
Brighton with just 6 league wins since September. No idea of a plan B - just end up with the GK every time, try and play their way out of trouble and lose it. Really poor
Was Klopp announcing that he was leaving when he did a mistake? Seem to recall Ferguson saying that his biggest mistake was announcing his retirement (first time) as early as he did as he felt it led to a drop off in standards by all at the club. Yes, competing on a number of fronts with a relative...
It’s harsh considering they’ve competed on four fronts this season but I’ve been fairly underwhelmed by Liverpool all season. Whilst their recoveries and ability to come back from losing positions was admirable, it was a concern in itself just how much it was happening and I think it’s finally comin...
Another pathetic away performance. What does Selles say to them away that he doesn't say at home. We have a serious problem that looks like it will continue next season the way we are going. Something is wrong. Another pathetic performance? Excluding the top three, that was only our second away def...
So Villa obviously through; Liverpool and West Ham both out. Leverkusen scoring an 89th minute equaliser on the night to remain undefeated this season. Judging that refereeing performance, I can see why Leverkusen are undefeated! One of the worst officiated second halves I can recall - gave almost ...
Obviously they’re still world class talents but perhaps those suggesting England should win the Euros at a canter should perhaps look at the respective performances of Rice, Saka, Bellingham and Foden tonight as they were collectively disappointing!
Arteta got that so wrong today. What a weekend for Man City though. Beyond their wildest dreams! Very odd to drop Jorginho after his and Rice’s dominance since the turn of the year Very strange selection. Again questions should be asked of Arteta. Strange subs and starting lineup. How does Martinel...
Mansfield confirm their place in L1 and will play in the 3rd tier for the first time since 2002/03. At the other end, Forest Green suffer back to back relegations and drop out of the EFL after 7 seasons. Colchester's home win over Grimsby all but condemns Dean Bouzanis' Sutton to relegation too. Bi...
Whatever the question is at United ETH isn't the answer. Very easy to blame the manager. He’s not doing a great job admittedly and I struggle to see how a team of their prestige can’t even do the basics but you have to factor in just how poor their XI is May have been one of Mourinho’s arsehole mom...
That’s probably Liverpool’s race run. Just cannot keep a clean sheet and they miss too many chances. Been behind in 17 of their 32 games, you can’t keep recovering from that Understand Liverpool fans can be extremely insufferable but them falling away is bad for the overall competition. Arsenal and ...
Not beyond the realms of possibility that Liverpool come back but their inability to keep a clean sheet will really restrict them. Stated before that I don't like picking on individuals as the overall performance is down to more than one player and relatively speaking he's had an OK season but Liver...

A lot of stick for Mukairu, some perhaps justified as not a lot came off for him but I do think we are a better side with him in the XI as opposed to playing Elliott or Ehib out there Natural width draws the defenders out and opens up space for the likes of Knibbs to operate between the lines wherea...
Do think Liverpool are missing that cool, calm head in attack. It’s where Firmino (at his best) was so important for them as he complemented Salah and Mane so well Nunez, Diaz and Salah is clearly a very talented front three but it’s slightly too erratic and there have been too many occasions this ...

All the spending United have done in recent years and they’re trying to close a game out with a back six of Dalot, Maguire, Kambwala, Wan Bissaka, Mainoo and McTominay Understand they have a fair few injuries but that’s really poor Although as ever with United, a large part of it is mentality and or...
