Careful there, that's the sort of thing that will get you banned .....again!

Resorted to name calling? Your the touchy one here. I said "LOL united" and was met with several posts of BS by people with apparent diaper rash. Derail the thread all you want, United still sucks

guys, go easy on him. It must be tough to realize as a City fan that even when they win game after game, no one gives a #### about them.

I'm surprised Bilic is still in charge as of today. Expected them to pull the trigger after Fridays pathetic result.

I expected that also, but seriously who wants to go in as manager? I know they have this pipe dream of Tuchel or Ancelotti or whoever, but in all honesty, who could they attract? Maybe Shakespeare? Just a mess.

And I thought he was done weeks ago. I really think that last ten minutes against Tottenham prolonged his job. Until then he looked to be out (with the same issue of who comes in mind you).

To be entirely honest, I don't think Bilic is that bad. With a decent club and a chance he would probably be mid-table somewhere.

Bilic was leading the sack race and then Koeman was like "hold my beer ..."

[The Big Chill]

A Lovren mistake. Shocking.

[d_phaneuf]

The only thing that makes sense now is if Everton contacted Lovren as a young boy and trained him up to infiltrate Liverpool and ruin them from the inside

[devo22]

"There aren't five better centre-halves than what we already have." - Jürgen K., summer of 2017.

[The Big Chill]

Lol, make it 2 for Lovren!

[d_phaneuf]

Agent Lovren

Reporting for duty again

[Kipper is King]

In the recreational soccer league I play in nobody would have made that mistake. What ws he thinking? The ball was way over his head! Whoosh!

[Senator Clay Davis]

Speaking of getting sacked, we can't be too far away from the Klopp out banners. Shambolic defense is on him, he's had multiple windows to do something about it. Hard to make the argument they're much better than under Rodgers.

[Kipper is King]

Ohhh, Salah with a nice run. I think he got a bit lucky with the shot.

[The Big Chill]

Wow, Klopp gives Lovren the hook and then no hug for him on the way to the bench.

Gonna be tough for Lovren to battle back from that.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Liverpool gotta be looking at spending at least £150 million on defense alone. What a disgrace.

[d_phaneuf]

They don't need to spend anywhere near that

They need to scout better

[devo22]

It's a scouting problem, nothing else. Harry Maguire was available for 15m this summer and is comfortably better than Lovren and friends.

[d_phaneuf]

Klopp hasnt been anywhere better than Rodgers either and you never hear people talk about this job, been 2 years now and he can't find a good defender

Shows what being popular and eccentric on the sidelines can do with the media

[The Big Chill]

And now a Mignolet howler. This has gone almost exactly as expected.

[cam_wmh]

In fairness to Lindhelof, Vidic & Evra didn't set the world on fire their first seasons.
We got spoiled with Bailly in his quick adaption, just need to be patient.

[Bagor]

Still finding it indefensible that Mourinho exercised caution against that defence and keeper.
