Sound advice
To all those sad Merseyside Reds, my advice is, take your lead from Leicester and Blackburn fans and just enjoy your one-off moment of glory. Thirty years will pass again in no time.

Cold feet defeats
We can now add cold feet to the list of scientific excuses that Klippity Klopp has used for Liverpool defeats, which include favourites such as:
Pundit Arena
February 1, 2021
Over the last couple of weeks, Manchester United have seen their title credentials tested to the limit.
After a drab draw away to Liverpool, the Red Devils secured a morale-boosting win at Fulham before sending Liverpool crashing out of the FA Cup.
However, there has been little to shout about in United’s two most recent outings. After a dismal home defeat by bottom-of-the-table Sheffield United, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side failed to increase the pressure on leaders Manchester City in Saturday’s scoreless draw at Arsenal.

Solskjaer has been willing to chop and change his starting XI this season and Gary Neville feels as though the Norwegian can afford to given the consistent level of ability he has throughout his squad.

Tanguy Ndombele scored a quite silly goal against Sheffield United on Sunday. It was as excellent as it was distinctive, yet also not even entirely unusual in the ridiculous history of Tottenham.
Premier League stalwart Robbie Keane managed it against Portsmouth in February 2005 without falling over.

Pundit lashes out at Marcelo Bielsa praise and claims Leeds are average

Leeds United are little more than ‘average’ and the media have created a “myth” in Marcelo Bielsa, according to Stan Collymore.
Sunday’s 6-2 thrashing at Manchester United means Leeds have conceded 30 goals in their 14 games so far. That’s more than any of their Premier League rivals. Despite all that, Bielsa and his side have come in for an abundance of praise for their approach. Gary Neville, for example, is a massive fan of their style and has compared them to Barcelona.
