Leicester?  They couldnt beat Norwich today. (Hell, Southampton beat Norwich, and Southampton is garbage).

Leicester has nearly half the wages bill that Liverpool has.. they are going to fade / fading. They aren't competing for any title this year.

OK. i guess we agree to disagree.

Yeah, half the wages bill Leicester has never been a threat to win the Premier League.

Leicester is going to match the 81 points they got in 2014-2015? I guess you could argue they might

Is Liverpool going to have less than 81 points this year? Liverpool would have to drop 31 points in their next 21 matches (or close to 1.5 points per match for the rest of the season). That ain't gonna happen.

[mdmost 43056]

Injuries, Champions League, Club World Cup. There's plenty that could happen. Until Liverpool wins the EPL, I will continue to believe that something will happen that makes them bottle it again. This is the Liverpool way. 

When we're mathematically clear, with Henderson lifting the EPL title at Anfield, then I will share that sentiment.

Whatever slim chance of Liverpool losing the title died today.  They have a great chance to beat the 100 points of City from 2 years ago.

On Boxing Day, there could be a 3 point swing to LC's favor. Then they're only 7 points back. It's far from over. 

They could be seven (or nine) back going into the Boxing Day game after Liverpool miss next week’s fixture. Of course we’ll have a game in hand but point wise they can close it to four (beating City next week and Liverpool later). 

[LonghornJudas 1102]

I know it'll never happen, but Everton is dangerously close to the relegation zone. What fun that would be...

[G650 14278]

Christ Kyle Martino is a douche

[LonghornJudas 1102]

Of course Aaron Rodgers is a City fan. It all makes sense.

[Buzzrock 14948]

There is zero chance that Liverpool blows it and fails to win the league for the first time. Zero zip nada. Can’t happen.

I can’t imagine anyone is really surprised with this result.

Well this was fun.

Bernd Leno has been the best keeper in the league this season bar none. He's been doing stuff like this left and right:

http://arsenalist.com/f/2018-19/leno-save-on-de-bruyne-2019-12-15.html?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

That's a spectacular save, and we've been wasting saves like that from him all season. Arsenal would seriously be in the relegation zone without him and Auba this year. They're all we've had. Man it is going to take a lot to un-fuck this situation.

Helluva save. Even more impressive given that DeBruyne basically took the ball off Foden and Leno couldn't have seen it until after he'd hit it. One of the best saves of the season for sure.

KDB is the best player not named VVD in the Prem.

Maybe if you say it a few more times it won't be such an absurdly ridiculous statement. Actually, no, it will always be.

KDB is the singularly most overrated EPL player of my 4 plus decade life. Liverpool alone has 4 or 5 dudes better than him with Salah, Mane etc..

Agree to disagree. When healthy KDB is the best midfielder on the planet more weekends than not.

 

I do think Mane is better the last 18 months due to health and the level he’s hitting week in and week out. 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

If I'm starting a club, I'm starting with VVD, KDB to create a great spine. Sorry, not sorry.

[Dertyberd 394]

You throw those two on United and they're a top four team immediately.  Thats how good KDB is.  Easily the best passer/playmaker in England and he keeps getting better.  He's this generation's Paul Scholes.  

[mdmost 43056]

 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Props to Everton. He's a good manager. Arsenal is going to sign Big Sam, aren't they?

you throw VVD on Southampton, and Southampton stays up.

[MoJames 8256]

Honestly It's just amazing watching Kante and KDB run around the Chelsea midfield and linking up to Salah up front. Would be nuts to put VVD behind them.

Lol wut? KDB is the best midfielder in the world. And the only LFC player I would even consider ahead of him other than Virg is Sadio. That said, KDB is the best player in the premier league not named VvD

So Google tells me that Everton and Arsenal played a 0-0 draw with two shots on goal for the whole match sounds exciting

[Buzzrock 14948]

The announcers made a pretty good joke about it. “This has turned into one of the all time classics. The dvd will be available soon at all petrol stations.” “At the bottom of the bin.”

[Firemans4Horn 18127]

Mahrez is 100% left footed that was abysmal defense by Chilwell.

Great first half to watch.  Glad we were able to overcome the early goal.

The single most overrated EPL player in G650’s 4 plus decade life, is putting on a master class today.

yeah, i am not buying the whole DeBruyne over-rated argument.

Oh, were the games today? Liverpool was off winning the best club in the world title


Was hoping for a draw really but a city win works out nicely also
