"  Another aggrieved post reads: "The more Man U fans want to escape the more the owners give them pain".  Another reads: "This Ole and Co. are really taking us for granted. You can't be renewing Ashley's contract while there are real loopholes to cover.. it's getting out of hand".  Sad ones goes this way: "Why, just why would you do that? He is part of the dead wood that they need clearing out "This ...

3 reasons why Manchester United can beat Liverpool at Old Trafford


For the second time this season, Jurgen Klopp will be able to call upon his dependable first eleven for a Premier League clash. 

The good part of this situation is that Klopp will be able to play his best 11 against a depleted and disorganized Manchester United. He will want to knock them off their parch and probably end the tenure of yet another manager by blowing them away at Old Trafford. 

Liverpool are aiming to become the second team in history to win 18 consecutive matches after Manchester City as well as the first to win their first nine games in a row. In fact the Reds are 15 points ahead of United after 8 games which is the biggest point ever in Premier League history.

But that counts to nothing knowing the history between both clubs. Liverpool haven't beaten United at Old Traford since 2014. While their phenomenal front three have struggled to score goals at the theater of dreams. 

Roberto Firmino is the only Liverpool attacker to have managed to score a goal {just once} at Old Trafford. Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah have both been in caged brilliantly. 

With Ben Wassaka, Paul Pogba, Luke Shaw and a host of superstars expected to return, you can expect more of the same. Old Trafford will be buzzing on Sunday and that positive vibe would energize Ole and his team. 

United will be tough to beat but, the present Liverpool team is just too strong to be honest. The team is on fire and stopping them will be very hard. But, football have a tricky way of upsetting the bookmakers odds and turning a loser to a winner. 

If United succeed in beating Liverpool or drawing them, it will a phenomenal achievement for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his team. 

While a defeat won't be that bad, why? Nobody in his wildest dream think Manchester United will beat a team with Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah breathing down thier average defence.

The sad reason why Liverpool can't win the Caraboa Cup?

Liverpool are competing in five fronts this season {the World Club Cup, the Champions League, the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Caraboa Cup} and every fan will be dreaming of seeing them win it all. But achieving that fate will be hard knowing that Jurgen Klopp's team is thin at the moment and lacks the fire power to push in all front. Apart from Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane there's nobody else in the team that can guarantee Liverpool 20 goals in all competition this season.  Divorck Origi though is an exception but the 25-year-old Belgium international is more of an impact substitute rather than a game change.  With that in mine would it be smart to risk Salah, Firmino and Mane- who is already suffering from a dead leg and knock- in the Caraboa?  Is the Caraboa Cup so important that Jurgen Klopp will be willing to risk the world best trio in a $2m worth cup.  If no, then there's no point prioritize the match knowing that Liv...

Was the FIFA World Best Player rigged to favour Lionel Messi? The truth is coming out!

Lionel Messi is the FIFA World Best Player for the sixth time in history but something is not right about the voting system.  Olympic team coach Shakwy Ghareeb and Egypt national captain Ahmed Elmohamady have both come out to say their votes weren't counted. Cause if it were, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah would've been sitting alongside Van Dijk and not just Messi. Samuel Eto'o echoed this thought during the ceremony as he questioned the rationale behind picking Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo whereas Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah were arguably the players that won the Champions League for Liverpool.  Mane's unbelievable display against Bayern Munich and Barcelona superseded everything Messi did last season. Mane didn't just win the Champions League with Liverpool.  He reached the Africa Cup of final with Senegal and twice weeks later, scored two decisive goals to win Liverpool the UEFA Super Cup. The 26-year-old was unbelievably good and that that is one ...

Kylian Mbappe reveals why he wants to play for Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool

Liverpool could finally be signing one of Europe's most deadly finisher in Kylian Mbappe..  The French superstar remains a huge fan of Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp who he spoken highly off in the past.  Last summer, Mbappe praised Liverpool's brilliant display en-route to winning the Champions League and the charismatic nature of Jurgen Klopp who he said was charming and loving..  "I like Liverpool, they've a very good team and a fantastic manager", Mbappe told L'Equipe.  "The club is big with lots of supporters. Every footballer will want to play for them now".  Mbappe move to Anfield could be triggered in two ways; first by Liverpool's next kit sponsor Nike- who the brand ambassador Kylian Mbappe.  Secondly, his good relationship with Fabinho{ who was his former teammates back in Monaco} and Daniel Sturridge who revealed in Instagram that Mbappe loves his trademark celebration.  "Serious baller K Mbappe. His mom said he used t...

Say no to Racism! Bulgaria fans and crazy people have no place in football

Another day, another devastating blow to the struggle to end racism in football.  The embarrassing display from Bulgaria fans showed why FIFA and the European governing body must take a stuff stand on doing something about racism.  Nobody wants to be called a monkey neither do they want to remember  the history of their forefathers been hanged and burnt for been black by the KKK. Football is a beautiful game, a game which combines passion, tactics, brawls, near misses and goals to give you almost perfect result. Although, this combinations can be beautiful if it goes you're way and negative if you team is losing especially if its a 6-0 hammering.  Bulgaria were beaten mercilessly by England and the aftermath from the fans was the monkey chants and Nazi salutes. Its was a black lash from the fans who were disgusted with watching England's world class team carve them open time after time. If the three lions had taken their chances, they would've w...

Chelsea vs Liverpool: where the game will be lost and won

The blockbuster encounter between Chelsea vs Liverpool will see two of Europe's finest teams pelt their wits and tricks against each other. Frank Lampard youthful side will be hoping to become the first team in 15 attempts to Liverpool's juggernaut from taking all three points in the Premier League. But achieving that fate won't be easy and Lampard knows it.  Lampard and his coaching team know they have to stop Liverpool's world class attacking trio of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane from scoring.  Those three have scored 16 of the 21 goals Liverpool have scored in their opening 5 matches of this season. If Chelsea can stop those three from scoring, their chances of winning the game jumps from 35% to 75%.  Secondly, Lampard also knows Liverpool's midfield is made up of three aggressive tacklers and incessant runners who will press Jorginho, Ross Barkley or N'Golo Kante {if that's possible} to win the ball back and launch a quick counte...

Is Manchester City star Bernardo SIlva a covert racist?

Manchester City Bernando Silva has gotten himself into a messy situation by using racist jokes on his friend and teammate Benjamin Mendy.  Silva compared Mendy to the mascot of Spanish confectionery brand, Conguitos and later posted a indiscriminately video about Mendy's skin.  The 26-year-old asked Mendy if he was wearing clothes despite knowing he is fully dressed in all blacks. In other worlds, Silva was using his skin colour as joke.  But that is joke taking too far and most people see it as insult, a racial stereotype that FIFA along with UEFA and other organizing body are trying to shove out of football.  Racist have created an unwanted storm in football already this season with Italy been the centered of the storm. Romelu Lukaku along with some players of Africa descent have been subjected to monkey chants and discriminatory slurs.  Even in England who claim to have the best league in the world have also witnessed incidents of racism. Superst...

Can Liverpool star Andrew Robertson stop Wolves superstar Adama Traore?

What a player Adama Traore has turned into in just five weeks.. The 23-year-old has developed into one of Europe's electrifying winger.  He combines blistering pace with his power and outstanding physical strength.. Against Manchester City he was unplayable, difficult to stop and a threat whenever he gets the ball.  Watching Pep Guardiola closely you could see he was visibly shaken whenever Traore was on the run and skipping past his players with ease. He did score the first goal, assisted the second and had a hand in the third goal.  The 23-year-old Spaniard was unplayable and City just realized that. His next opponent is Liverpool and Andrew Robertson at the famous Stadium Anfield.  Can Andrew Robertson match him for pace and power? Can he really stop Traore when he actives his beat mode. If Robertson fails, Liverpool will surely lose at Anfield for the first time in 2 years, that i can assure you. 

Why Adrian feels he should be Liverpool's no. 1 and not Alisson Becker

For the first time in 10 years, Liverpool have two talented goalkeepers going to head to head for a starting spot.  The first is Alisson Becker who is currently injured after picking up a calf injury in Liverpool's first match of the season. But before his injury, Alisson proved he is a world class keeper by leading Liverpool to their sixth Champions League.  He is the only goalkeeper in history who succeeded in winning the Champions League, Premier League and Copa America best goalkeeper.  He is also UEFA Best Goalkeeper and FIFA World Best Goalkeeper. Alisson is a modern day shot-stopper who combines athleticism with good reflexes, accurate passing and an incredible footwork.  But his injury has paved the way for another to emerge from shadow into the spot light.  Adrain is finally fulfilling his talent and developing quickly into one of world's finest goalkeepers.  With Liverpool, he has won his first ever trophy as a player by keeping Chels...

Liverpool have beaten Genk 4-1 to further underline their intentions this season. The Reds will not exit the competition in the group stage but rather., they will attempt to retain the Champions League just like Real Madrid did before.  Man of the match will certainly go to Oxlade Chamberlian who registered his first Champions League goal in just two minutes of play before scoring what will go down as the best Champions League goal of the season.. His 35-yard spinning lob took everyone by surprising including Genk's keeper who stood still as the ball flown past him and into the net.  Those two goals opened the floodgate for Sadio Mane to score a lob before Mohamed Salah rounded up the party. But Genk did get a consolation goal through Stephan Odey.  Here are the five things we learnt:  1. Xaby Keita  and Oxlade Chamberlian deserve to start against Tottenham Hotspur-  For the first time this season, Liverpool moved the ball with lots of creat...

O'Hara: Harry Kane will join Manchester City and not Liverpool

Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara can see Harry Kane joining a title winning team in no distant future..  Roy Keane might have suggested Manchester United sign the England captain but O'Hara feels Kane will go to a more established club where he can start winning trophies and not a club a struggling club. Liverpool is also an attractive option but they've to prove this season they're good enough to compete with Manchester City on the domestic fronts.  Speaking to talkSPORT, O'Hara said: "I think if he is going to go it's going to be Man City; it's only Man City, for me, who can probably get him.  "Aguero is coming to the end and Jesus is a different type of player, so if they are to get somebody it would be Harry Kane. But does he want to leave Tottenham? And can they let him go? I don't think they can".
