Posting that Moyes had a better win percentage due to being in charge of the richest club in the world followed by criticising Dyche for his win percentage at the poorest club in the EPL is so Nic

iirc nics line preseason was that pool would not win the pl title cos packed defenses but would have a good go at a CL run

unclear whether messi/ronaldo/greizmann/lewa etc vs lovren&co was factored into this calculation

Doesn't sound like me.

In srs business, my preseason line had us winning the double but after failing to land VVD and all the Phil nonsense I had to settle for just the CL.

You never can tell whether Nic's being serious, but we had:

We all know what the next two results at Anfield were and 0-4 definitely doesn't look good in comparison.

And the truth is we have trampled over everyone bar city this season. Im not giving Watford props since we gifted them the point.

Taking two draws and a loss in our last 3 is massive lol variance given the way the games were played out.

At what point does plop being **** at defending cease being variance and become the norm?

Last 5 seasons?

Been busy this week, but massive lol at Marty attempting a langer from 3 1/2 years ago *massively* out of context. The massive aids to follow in spoilers, because of massive aids.

You spent the entirety of last season saying that the only reason Spurs finished above you was variance.

I'm not sure you'll find a Liverpool fan who rates our defence but that doesn't account for every mistake we make being punished at an absurd rate.

11tegen11s model had us 70% to beat Sevilla 81% to beat Burnley and 69% to beat Leicester. 2 draws and a defeat out of that is pretty unlikely.

I'll be concerned when we are playing like **** as a whole

You've been **** at defending since rafa left, not just the last three games.

Spoiler:

Left nothing out, just remember Ox was best runner, kicker and headerer at Arsenal (def haven't got dementia or making some **** up btw). Which according to you, you never once in your life said.

And for some context.....'Ox best player at arsenal' 'I never said that' "guess who"

Now take yourself off you ****ing idiot.

I can also quote where I explained that I honestly thought someone else itt said the likes of caley don't bother watching games but that'd be too much context for you.
