Personally, the only real disappointment this season is the Burnley game for me. Absolutely spot on. You could say we should have beaten Man Utd, but then again I don't think many of us were expecting to win away at Arsenal or Chelsea!

You could say we should have beaten Man Utd, but then again I don't think many of us were expecting to win away at Arsenal or Chelsea! I was expecting us to beat both of those games, and I predicted both of those wins, and gave my reasons for why I thought we'd win. I was fully expecting Klopp to have our lads fully fired up for a Derby against our number one foe, and what did we get? We were as flat as the proverbial pancake, especially in the first half. One would have thought motivation for that game would be easy? Sixties is right that was an opportunity missed.

You might be confusing your wish with your expectations

You can't win them all and even a 6 point advantage with 30 games to go wouldn't be enough to guarantee we finish above them or indeed the top 4. People are reading far too much into this. It's just another game and we had an off day as I'm sure most other teams will and we will again. It means nothing this early in the season really as last time I checked the league finishes in May so I'm failing to see what this opportunity we missed was apart from that we didn't beat someone?

One would have thought motivation for that game would be easy? Sixties is right that was an opportunity missed. Mourinho did a job on us at Anfield, he took the sting out of the job from the first whistle, he is the master of that. Your view on everything is so simplistic, why don't you look past the 'we bottled it' or 'we weren't fired up' and actually realise that we are playing against top quality players, managers and opponents. We cannot win every single game which is what you seem to expect. Can you honestly say that after games against Arsenal and Chelsea away, then Man Utd at home, you are disappointed with 7 points out of 9? If so then I honestly think your completely crazy and may I suggest a strong dose of realism.

The utd game in isolation, forget all the other games I think we bottled it. I think the pressure of the game got to some of our players. Not the end of the world. But it is something I thought might happen given the pressure. We did not play to our potential, I was not expecting gun ho as I no what mourinho does. I expected better though. Klopp said it himself. He said the players had nobody else to blame but themselves.

Yes we could have played better, of course we could. Perhaps if we had our first choice 11 available from the start it may have been different? It just baffles me how quiet Koptalk is following a victory, then we draw against Man Utd and the inquest begins. God help us when we next lose a game!

Yeh Chris, i don't get it either and i say that as a supporter that usually leans towards the negative.
That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

The Mancs saw it as a victory that they stopped us...our freebie Matip nullified Ibra and Pogba... We never do well after that bulls@it international break ... Nothing to be too upset over. Tomorrow's game is what's important now.

Well Chris, football is a simple game, and being a simple country lad I'm not stupid enough to complicate it, I leave that to the smart city slickers. I'm also simple enough not to have said that I'm disappointed with 7 points out of nine against those three sides, even if you're smart enough to put that statement in my mouth! You think I'm completely crazy, and for once I commend your diagnostic skills, as I'm pretty much convinced of that myself, so I've taken your prescribed dose of realism and things are much clearer now....we did indeed bottle it...and worser Chris, we actually choked on our own bottle! One of our esteemed posters from the wee north, who doesn't seem to love us anymore, once mentioned the "whiff of the bridesmaid" about us...sniff, sniff...can you get that Chris?
