Soccer 2016-2017

I just think the Madrid job damaged Mourinho beyond repair after his fallout with Casillas. I don't remember him before that always throwing his players under the bus and never taking any responsibility. Now he seems like he can't even make the tough choices such as dropping Rooney to get the best out of Pogba and instead just attacks Luke Shaw who is still a very young LB, though still looking overweight.

Also this maestro of the midfield needs to not be shackled as a DM

Man, LFC is looking good. Made 7 changes from the Chelsea game and it was just a easy, professional performance. Granted it was Derby who seems just terrible right now but we could barely get by Carlisle last year, squad as a whole is just much improved.

I don't think that's a fair blanket statement. Pep waited a year to get rid of Henry and then Schweinsteiger, Ancellotti got rid of nobody at any stop of note that I can remember. Who did Mourinho get rid of at RM and Inter? Eventually Casillas at RM but that took a year as well and basically made him crazy in doing so.

Easy work against Hull, we're just too strong right now. Maybe if Mourinho keeps with Rooney to the bench I'll change my mind but for right now I think LFC's games with ManC are going to be the games of the season with how attacking each team is.

I don't get how this was surprising. Sounded like he previously had agent issues where if you didn't use his agent then he'd have a pissy fit same as Tony Pulis. Maybe they can get a real manager in as England definitely has some bright young talent but alas this is the FA we're talking about. If they can go for Hodgson then I'm sure Southgate will now be securely in the job.

Pulisic with an assist today vs. RM, damn that kid is looking good.

ManC is definately mortal, that Celtic team is terrible and yet they were cut wide open a couple of times. Granted it shouldn't be that surprising as Swansea did the same thing but the quality of the players couldn't finish.

Remember DeGea's first season where he was flapping and even got benched at times? Young keepers need time, Migs should play as needed to take pressure off him.

Spuds basically copied Swansea and Celtic against ManC and low and behold it worked. Think we have an actual race on our hands now. Arse should have drawn, terrible call at the end there.

Considering the amount of points he saved ManU over the years I'd say one bad save is pretty forgiveable, more the issue is how do you only score 1 goal against Stoke while at home?

So a referee from the Manchester area is assigned to the LFC/MU game on Monday? How is that going to work for either set of supporters? Weird....
