I’ve got a hazy memory that the restart after the 1963 big freeze, when the season went on well into the summer, threw up some weird results. Perhaps it’s an ‘out of normal routine’ thing for players.

Villa seeing a bit more of the ball now...

Arguably the most incredible result in the history of the Premier League.
Patrice Evra has perked up:hehe:
The right side of Liverpool's defence has looked shaky for a while. Couldn't see them shipping 7, but there had already been more enough evidence that they're vulnerable at the back to suggest they need to do something about their defence.
Alexander Arnold is great going forward but gets caught out of position all of the time and Gomez looks prone to having a big mistake in him every game at the moment.
I wonder how many games it took last season for them to concede the same amount of goals as they have already conceded in this current season?
BREAKING NEWS: Liverpool Football Club have breached new COVID-19 restrictions by letting 7 in :popcorn:
one of the most remarkable results in premier League history

Just popped up in my browser. Hadn't seen it before but the first 90 seconds are funny, bearing in mind the events of today.
I'm sure this is just a blip for Liverpool, whereas Man Utd's problems are structural.
Right from the opening seconds, Liverpool were wide open down their right and struggling defensively. I don't like saying it, but credit to Villa who are benefitting from appointing one of the better, young English managers in my opinion. That said, they weren't so good as to earn that result purely from their own efforts, they received considerable help along the way from the most passive display I've seen from Liverpool under Klopp's management.
Maybe it was a one off, but I think I'm right in saying that Dortmund were bottom of the league going into the winter break during Klopp's last season with them and so there remains the possibility that we were seeing the beginning of a period where the Klopp magic starts to fade a bit - I think there's evidence to suggest that something similar may be happening at Man City as well.
For those who watched the game it should have been 10 (TEN).
Hate Villa but funny to see the weaknesses
If ever there was a caption highlighting the fact that possession is not that important, there it is.
Its all about how you set up to challenge the particular opposition and Villa did it brilliantly yesterday.
Liverpool's form since lockdown has not been great and it could well continue unless Klopp listens to Roy Keene :biggrin:
Grealish, I'm afraid, looks very comfortable in the Premier league and Ollie Watkins it seems could go on to be one of the greats.
Nice lad too.
