But still 3pts……..its not about performance at this stage of the season, its just about winning, by any means possible.
Yes, I appreciate that with Man City's relentless charge toward the Premier league title Liverpool must keep winning. I do find, " by any means possible " a rather disturbing phrase.

Within the legal relms of the game, thats what i meant……a dirty 3pts is ok at this stage of the season

and i wouldnt say city are posting a relentless charge at the moment, they used to be 12pts clear….its now 3pts

A rather fortunate 3 points I thought.
We had a big prem game a few days ago and a massive CL game on on Tuesday so I was not surprised they took their foot off the gas.
Westaaaam could, maybe should have scored 2, maybe 3......but all we had to do was "enough".

Yes, Man City and Liverpool are so in front of the rest (at this time)
Chelsea may well fall away a bit more due to their changing situation ? We want to see a competitive Premier league don't we ?

Oh my, that second half was imperious by City. Mahrez's second goal even had the temerity to give DeGea a slap in the face on its way to the back of the net.
Maguire was a useless lump, again, and was reduced to wrestling or assaulting his opponents. Grealish for once looked like the cocky baller that he was at Villa. De Bruyne was outstanding, what a footballer. The blue moon is still rising. Arsenal for the Champions League. United for the alternates Thursday night meetings.

I've seen enough of Maguire to know his strengths and weaknesses. Van Dijk, he's not. In the right team, he's solid. His natural home is nearer Burnley than anywhere remotely Pep ball.

It says enough that Leicester bought him to fit in/take over when they had the similarly skilled Huth and Morgan. His replacement was the more mobile, capable ball player Soyuncu. Leicester knew Maguire's limitations and the cash they got was more than recompense.
