Jonesy7211 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Considering Liverpool pushed hardest for the ESL out of all the English teams nobody associated with Liverpool can complain about anything unfair until that whole project is dead and buried. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just been consistent on the whole Saturday early kick offs thing. It isn't like he's making excuses after his side just lost to Watford, they hammered them 5-0.

rodders0223 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 James Milner getting rave reviews for a few of his appearances this year . About to turn 36. A good solid 3 or 4 years and he could be on to break Gaz Baz's record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have the depth of quality that City and Chelsea have - I think it's a straight fight between those two for the title, Liverpool are outsiders with a chance, but I think they'll finish third and a bit off the top two.

Maybe, but they've played both Man City and Chelsea and are still the only unbeaten side in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge problems at the back for **** sake I wouldn't say huge problems but their defence isn't great. Not title winning great anyway. They're about average for the premier league statistically but they're overperforming (mainly due to Alisson) which puts them a bit further up for actual goals conceded. Better than Chelsea though who continue to get bailed out by Mendy. Man City are absolutely miles ahead of everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the course of a season, that ratio would mean they concede 29 goals in 38 games. Title winning Man City conceded 32 in 38 last season.

They're conceding lots of big chances and lots of xG (relatively speaking for title challenges). Twice as much as Man City for example. Which is obviously fine if they continue to overperform. But teams usually don't. They regress to the mean, which at the moment isn't good enough to win the title, imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They regress to the mean, which at the moment isn't good enough to win the title, imo I mean, they have the third best xGA in the league (behind Man City and Brentford) whilst, at the same time, having the highest xG. They "should have" conceded 8 and have conceded 6. Man City "should have" conceded 4 and have conceded 3. Chelsea "should have" conceded 10 and have conceded 3. Liverpool are absolutely good enough to win the title with these current figures - it just happens that Man City are a better side and will be favourites. From the initial point, to class Liverpool as having "huge problems at the back" is absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool are absolutely good enough to win the title with these current figures - it just happens that Man City are a better side and will be favourites. I haven't looked at the figures after the most recent round of matches but last week they were 9th in terms of xGA. Their xGA would average to around 46 goals in a season which I'd argue probably isn't good enough to win the league, but obviously it's possible. I agree "huge problems" is a massive exaggeration. I was just making the point that statistically they weren't performing like title winners defensively. If that's massively improved over the last week then fair enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
