This time last year bottom at Xmas this year top! The Foxes march on!

for the leagues sake...if Arsenal dont win it this year i hope the foxes do.

Will prove you dont need to spend billions to win it all the time .

But i am still unsure about them , will wait till after the christmas break and when the FA cup games start coming into play before i agree they will still be there abouts in may.

Jose to Man utd by New years surely.. Be funny if he goes there this week as Man utd vs chavs over new years break...

Very real possibility, LVG on his last legs. Guardiola also rumoured to have met with club officials during the week.

So far so good and we showed last night we have depth and don't need Vardy scoring every week to win. We were missing 3 regulars last night and indication of depth is that the Captain of Switzerland Gokhan Inler still can't command a starting place let alone a subs appearance and neither can our record signing in Kramaric also an international with Croatia.

Everton at Goodison are always a tough proposition, great to see the Foxes marching on still .. Draw in the City v Arsenal game would give them a nice little buffer at the top.

Palace continue to surprise too.

The way the EPL is structured there's always plenty of interest every season, but this season shaping up as one of the most fascinating I can remember.

I don't think I said a very long time as he always maintained he would be retiring at end of 2016-17 and that is still the case. I did think he would see out his contract though and not be gone after a year and a bit in the job. He has made a heap of mistakes and has lost the support of the players, when that happens it's time to go. I did think he would work out for us but it's not to be unfortunately, need to move on now whilst there is still plenty of games left

Surely LVG is history this week?

Stoke away and Chavs home before end of year. He would need 4 points minimum to keep his job. A poor performance at Stoke might even hasten his departure

watford 3 - 0 liverpool

Once again we were poo .. Havent seen much of Watford but they were very impressive. As the commentators said, the honeymoon is well and truly over for Klopp. He's definitely in need of a couple of transfer windows to build his own squad.

Watford have been playing well.
I watched your game this morning, your CB Sakho is woeful. You need to piss him off asap. He is ok doing what a CB should be doing with clearing the ball, and heading away from danger. He is trying this quick feet movement thing and funny tricks and it just doesnt work.

Thats easily the worst game I've seen from him, he's better than that. I think one issue we have, is that due to our transfer policy (targetting players in their early 20's or late teens) many of our players lack consistency.

Coutinho, Sahko, Clyne, Ibe, Firmino, Origi for example all take several games to get back in stride when they've missed matches.

Coutinho has been our best player, but missed a few through injury and even he stunk it up last night.

Opposition have worked Klopps style out too, so just sit back and get us on the counter - Hopefully once he adds players he chooses himself we can improve on his preferred style.

i remember him being as bad when we won 4-1 at the emirates at end of last season.

Thought you were just holding onto him for the odd games when others were injured ?

Rodgers didn't rate him, so thats basically the only minutes he got - As a 3rd or 4th stringer whenever someone was injured.

He'd been really good this season, especially for a coupla of games under Klopp - But like most of them he struggled in his first game back.
