But…
Good is not really a great deal Unless the score is at least 10-0, apparently.

Congratulations Man City
That is all! All commenters and advertisers can shut up now. No more, “most open season since Leicester won” nonsense. It’s only 7 points, but the title is basically closed. Man U is too unreliable to present a proper challenge from a distance. Liverpool also out of shape. The rest of the pursuing pack are just serious attempts with no real chance. The city has it in the bag. Any defensive fragility they had last season and at the beginning of this one is gone. Teams no longer know how to score against them, and their arsenal of weapons and cruelty means that they will almost always find a way to the net. It’s in the bag.
Congratulations to the princes and despots of Qatar, et al. Your sports car wash project continues apace. Next challenge, the Champions League, before you enjoy the glow of your very own Desert / Slave World Cup. It is clearly in a winning formula.
Now, to endure the sickening spectacle of journalists and commentators going from the desperate and hysterical hype of an unspectacular season, to lubricating every orifice in preparation for several months of psychopathic adulation and courting their own prince charming, Pep.

That was pathetic from Liverpool
Didn’t we know how Brighton planned to play? It was surely pretty obvious given that we played the same game earlier this season. And a hundred times against the last six this season.
Are we suddenly so sterile against a low block? Is it the absence of VVD or the absence of Henderson / Fabinho in midfield? Given that we have now lost something like 16 points to the last six this season, perhaps we should play Rhys Williams and Nat Phillips on defense if Henderson / Fabinho are that important to midfield. We literally can’t do any worse against these teams, so take more chances if it means we really create chances or score goals.
Was Brighton good? They really didn’t have to be. So many passes were short and the attacks were laborious. Every forward pass we made was predictable or poorly played. Everything about acting was really pathetic.
What a brilliant way to piss off the goodwill gained from the last two results. It’s funny how until two months ago all teams in Europe were afraid to come to Anfield. Now, in a way, it’s the easiest place to play in England.

… Can we now start Liverpool’s fight against the low-block narrative?

Shock horror
I don’t know which is more surprising, Liverpool lost back-to-back league home games after being undefeated at Anfield by 427 games or Jesse Lingard (Jlingzzzzz ffs) scoring a double on his West Ham debut after playing 427 minutes in 2 years at United.
Well, well, I guess Liverpool lost again wasn’t that surprising.
Just the only conclusion
1. This year will definitely not be our year.
A Liverpool fan who, until last year, never saw us win the PL (I was going to draw 2 conclusions and say that the world has gone crazy, but then I looked at who tops the league table and yeah I guess it’s like always. )
Klopp the magician
Am I the only one to notice how Jurgen Klopp’s post-match interview instantly convinced Owen Hargreaves that his defeat was due to “mental fatigue”? Absolute sorcery. The best speaker of all time.
The vocal minority (Van Dijk’s team)
What about Villa?
I don’t know if it’s the Covid-imposed breakout or just a drop in form, but Villa has definitely dropped a gear or two in recent weeks. The lack of substitutes and spanking the same players has not helped.
On the other hand, I have to say that Moyes has done some work with West Ham. Excellent team and well worth the win, even with some absolutely stunning goalkeepers.
In the next.

Best of Brits
Yes, Liverpool look wrecked, mentally and physically, but this is Brighton.
For the first time, G. Potter now tops my list of the most capable, likely to improve and smartest British managers.
I think he is an ace and I would love to see him in charge of Man City if Pep or Barcelona leaves when Xavi turns out to be middle.
(I understand that Dortmund is more likely).
The other positions are a mixture of grudging respect rather than personal preference… Brendan Rogers, Sean Dyche, Dean Smith make up my current top 4. David Moyes, Stevie G, Chris Wilder, Gareth Southgate. Then Scott Parker and Eddie Howe. I’d like to see Ed move up this list in the near future.
All in all a pretty poor situation considering the history of British football coaches from Busby and Shankly, Paisley, Clough.
Old Magyar-Dutch intelligence is the benchmark / seed, isn’t it?

Stick to politics, Marcus
I just thought I’d say (even if it’s a bit late and I’m not reactionary) that Marcus Rashford should focus more on political issues and stop child hunger instead of focusing on his football. Marca and his team win 9-0, but the kids will still be hungry. I mean come on, I can’t be a world-class professional footballer AND help other children born into poverty. Stop trying to do a job that is paid well for and finally resolve the racism after the abuse you received on social media this week. Stick to social issues, if Man United wins 8-0 without you that’s fine.
Annabelle (Seriously, she’s receiving racist abuse for helping people … And scoring goals. Mediawatch needs to be taken more seriously)
