I have never been a fan of Dyche but you have to say he has done a great job in turning their form around so quickly.

Totally agree, Proper 'old school' manager. Just seems to get teams playing to their strengths and not forcing them to play a style they are not used to.
Had them nailed on to go down early doors, but can see them clawing away from the bottom 3 from here

Depending on how our January window goes and what players we can get back from injury they might not be far behind us come May

It's a total lack of football knowledge and understanding, to not give that penalty. The wording is that if the attacker is able to get the shot off UNCHALLENGED, follow throughs aren't penalised. No way Foden was unchallenged! If he was, he'd have scored!

 

[paxtonwolf]

Oh my...how has Barnes not scored there??

High chance that he would have been offside as well. Can Saudi Sportswashing Machine maintain this energy?

 

[afsoc4life]

How did Foden miss that?

 

[paxtonwolf]

On another day this could be at least 2-2 or even 3-3 by now

What the hell is going on with Liverpool? I love it, obviously, but don't understand it.

The core group - the ones who had them challenging for the past ~8 years- are either gone or done. I said last year it was the last sting of a dying wasp.

Honestly how does Joelinton get away with what he does week in week out
Why is he so protected, he is a thug

 

[paxtonwolf]

All of a sudden its gone goal crazy 2-1 in about 5 minutes

Or maybe not

 

[Jurgen the German]

Today’s scores are great if you want Arsenal to win the league.

 

[markysimmo]

We really do not need City losing tonight do we !!

Will give scum even more of an incentive to win tomorrow.

 

[ricky2tricky4city]

Semi automated offside is so zippy

 

[paxtonwolf]

Even the commentators know JoeLinton has been 'pushing his luck' and finally gets a card

 

[Rafa87]

It genuinely feels like the footballing gods are gooners, hopefully this season is their biggest bottle job yet.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Title advantage Arsenal

 

[balesleftboot]

City so inconsistent. Liverpool nowhere this season. It's not looking good.

 

[Baleforce]

Today’s scores are great if you want Arsenal to win the league.

They are getting beat tomorrow too.

 

[markysimmo]

Chelsea keep winning but I can't see them challenging Arsenal at the top

Red scum.or blue scum. What a choice.
