If that was any other player (or team) it would've been but I'm not complaining, Man city were the better team in fact they were fantastic today and we were poor. It's no shame to lose away to Manchester City.

Listening to the "experts" you wouldn't realise that after 18 games each we are second and one point ahead of Man city. That tells us something.

Nigel Pearson has already won as many games with Watford this season as they won without him.

Man utd's beat Man City then lose to Watford, Man city go on to dominate Leicester.

That's the prem.

We're too passive against the top teams under BR. We need to get at them up the pitch and stop with the passing backwards from the halfway line, we've got to go forward.

We do look like a team at the beginning of our build, which we are.

Top 4 would still be great.

Easy win. Well done 'pool.

I just have to remind myself that top 4 will be a fantastic season for us and beyond our imagination when the season started (and we've a good chance of making at least 1 cup final).

Both Liverpool and Man city would have set their sights on the title or the season is a fail.

The question for me is whether we can hold on to a top 4 over the second half of the season.

Ricardo is excellent but Alexander Arnold is quite possibly your best player and another level higher than any RB in the prem.

Top 4 would be amazing season, really i'm not disappointed got dominated by Pool in their home game. BR is really talented to get the sqaud he has to top 3. They should be 20 points or 30 points away from Pool,City. Believing in your attacking style against two top teams is not bad since it will get you many wins against teams 4-20.

You shouldn't judge BR that he lost these two games, not many of his players would make the game squad in Pool. Ndidi,Teliemans maybe imo. Give BR the players Mourinho failed with in Man utd, Chelsea he would compete against Klopp, Pep. What I'm saying is I hope you guys don't lose BR next season so Leicester can improve, become top 4 team.

The crazy thing is that AA is just 21 years old. I think eventually he'll be a CM. He's too damn good.
