Somehow a 2nd half Sheffield United goal feels at least as likely as a Liverpool goal.
I mean when you play your 3rd string keeper and your 7th and 8th choice CB who have never started a game before shit happens.

Liverpool still need 8 more wins out of 12 to finish top four in my opinion. Chelsea game is a six pointer. LFC actually need Chelsea to finish top four too.

Curtis Jones is gonna captain that side before long. I would guess Hendo has a couple seasons in and around the team, and maybe Virgil takes it before that. But I’d wager if Jones is good enough, he’s captain one day

I think TAA would be ahead of him.

Just while we're on the topic of imminent captains, I will say that Mount will be VC next year and captain the year after, and I feel confident locking in that prediction now.

Happy to win a match.

Firmino has struggled this year but bless him, he worked his ass off today.

That was a stupid own goal to give.

Draw was fair for United and Chelsea. Neither showed enough attacking quality to win the game. James was probably United's best attacker, needed it to be Bruno or Rashford to win the game. Lindelof, Shaw and de Gea with important blocks and save. McTom should have done a lot better with the counter at the end.

I think I said last season that it wouldn't surprise me if Jones was our best midfielder by end of this season (that was before we bought Thiago of course, though that hasn't exactly gone swimmingly). I'm glad he's showing his worth and that he's among the top tier of English young talents. He's got a rare combination of work rate, skill and confidence. I also think I'd put him as captain over Trent.

I will say quite easily that EPL have the worst refering authorities in all pro sport (that I follow).

They have no consistency from game to game and week to week. Such stupid policies regarding hand ball, offside, red card and constant change of ruling. The VAR is a trainwreck and inconsistent from game to game. Not to mention no accountability or conformity committee.

They are basicaly a mafia with no apparent direction.
