Liverpool fans can stop pretending they're still worried about throwing it away now and admit they're eyeing the points record and an unbeaten season

It's only halftime at the season and Liverpool had many last minute goals /close games this and last season. 1-2 key injuries and things are looking different.

City should be more worried about missing out on top 4 than catching Liverpool, I honestly think Tottenham will end up second

Edit - they're actually further behind Leicester than I thought, I think they will go on a winning run though

Liverpool have had their share of key injuries already. I'm not sure what you are talking about. Alisson, Salah, Firminio, Fabinho, Gini, Matip, Lovren, and Henderson have all been injured at some point in the season already. Did you forget that Alisson was out from the very first game until mid October for the United game? He was gone for 9 weeks and people thought we were going to struggle without him but yet we did good with Adrian. VvD was also sick and barely made it back in time for the final. Now we have Chamberlain and he won't be back until Feb. So people act like we haven't had our share of injuries. We just have been able to cope with it.

Leicester are the ones who should be worried about injuries, or one particular injury I should say

Oh yeah that's where I'm at at this point. The title is done. It's just a question of how high our points total will be, will we go the season unbeaten and will we win any other trophies.

How do you lose to Watford who went down to 10 men? That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Aston Villa realising what it feels like to play against experienced players and not a bunch of kids.

Var is fine but this offside lines thing the prem uses is pretty stupid for sure. Most of the time they manipulate it to make it be offside

The VAR offside decisions are getting more ridiculous by the day. There was literally not enough definition in the video feed to discern that supposed offside in Tottenham-Norwich.

Losing to Leicester's B team... We should have sacked Pellegrini after Newcastle. What is the point in pretending he's going to get a few results, come back and fix this mess? It's all over for him. We all know it.

pukki's beard was clearly offside lol.
Nah it's a total joke. Even spurs fans on Twitter are talking about how he got robbed of a goal.
I think the problem is expecting that giving referees more technology is going to make things better. It's clear that, to become a referee, one has to undergo a process of moral and intellectual degradation that leaves no common sense left. The problem is not the VAR, it's the referees.

It needs to be at least a foot of your torso or something to qualify as offside. None of this knee hair mm garbage.

yeah, that's true. The idea was that Var would give them a chance to correct glaring mistakes, but it just seems to add more chances for them to get something wrong.

Edit: just saw the Premier League's official response, which claims that Pukki's goal was ruled off because he was offside in the run-up to the play. So...even though he got back level before the ball was played, he's offside? What?

Sucks to see but Villa really dont look like they have it in them to survive the drop...

Wont be surprised if we see Grealish at United next season.

It's nonsensical; they got it completely wrong and are trying to save face (and looking more stupid while doing so).

VAR should be used purely for clear and obvious errors only, otherwise the referee's decision should stand.

Change years and years of offside precedent before honestly owning up to a mistake...

My rule is best. If the VAR can't tell 100% from a freezer frame inside 20 secs, it's allowed to stand. No lines. If you need lines it was too fucking close.

As bad as VAR is, the regular officiating has gone down the pan too.

Burnley are the dirtiest team we've played this season, should be down to 10 if not 9 by now, and the only thing keeping this game close is Mike Dean's total incompetence.
