how do you guys feel about the international break?
i would much rather have them pack them all together and hold the season off an extra month so we can watch some decent football, not this stop start getting use to the international system only to break it off for a club game then all over again crap they're doing now.

It is astoundingly annoying. I don't see an alternative. The summer has the actual tournaments, so I don't think they should hold qualifiers then, too. I don't see a superior alternative, unfortunately.
I said it because I could have sworn I heard the commentator say they're fifth from bottom.
Not that I particularly care.

So? You think that's any way to be?
"Well we new Israel would come and give us a game.", why? Is f*cking Israel. You SHOULD be beating shit teams 5-1.
This is why England fail, they get excited about reasonable performances against shit teams.

Its the results what count, crap teams tend to block the goal area and defend most the time so goals arn´t that easy to come by.
I noticed Germany who won 2:1 against Russia, have thrown one of their players Kevin Kuranyi out of the team because he left the stadium at half time, he wasn´t even on the bench or selected he was in the stands, so why does it matter?
When you consider what England players have been up too in the past, mostly concerning alcohol, you have to think that they lack (england) lack discipline compared to other teams.
What do you´s think.

Gosh, what an accurate analysis. Did you notice that they came back against both Manchester United and Middlesborough (both teams with 11 men on the pitch for the whole game), or do those not count, as they don't support your opinion that Liverpool must be crap. Hell, even against City, LFC had 10 men on the pitch when Kuty scored the winner. I wonder why you must constantly knock Liverpool, to the point of obsession, whenever they get a decent result.
Are just like this when Arsenal are playing pathetically against supposedly small teams (e.g, Hull, Sunderland, Fulham)?

What is even weirder is that most the time 10 men play actually better than 11 after someone is red carded, as they all realize they have to work harder for the missing player, can´t find any statistics on this but I remember lots of games where 10 men dominated the opposition.
So Liverpool must be really great to come back to beat such psychologically empowered players. 😮💨

They came back against Man Utd? They didn't come back, Wes Brown got their equaliser.
Liverpool haven't actually convincingly beat a team in the league yet. It's all 85th minute 1-0 wins or whatever. Win's a win, sure, but that's what it is. They're not playing like a team deserving of the title, and will probably be out of it by Christmas, again.
Man City? Man City were 2-0 up, Liverpool struggled for their goal and then Zabaleta was sent off. What followed was 3-2. The same happened yesterday.
It just bothers me that Liverpool fans so blatantly deny that they're a lucky team.
