Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Slotification of Liverpool is nearly complete

[Low End Derrick]

He inherited both Matic & Cesc and a lot of clubs wanted Kante.

He alone is responsible for Drinkwater and Bakayoko. He was demanding Chelsea signed Candreva, Biabiany and a lot of other rubbish from Serie Ass.

Good coach but a fukking disaster in every other department.

Marina and the board gotta take some of the blame for those disaster transfers from that era.

For example, Conte:

• wanted Lukaku, got Morata
• wanted Nainggolan, got Barkley
• wanted Alex Sandro, got Emerson
• etc.

He is solely responsible for driving out Costa, though.

Too far down the rabbit hole to bring that back. Would have to shrink the CL back to Champions only and that isnt happening. Also no available matchdays, as EL is on CWC Thursday's and CL have the EL Tuesday's.

That's my fear. Champions league with Champions only is stronger competition and the CWC emphasizes actually winning trophies.

But in instances of double winners you run into fixture congestion.

I believe he didn't want Drinkwater

Conte himself said Morata was always his first choice. We only started hearing otherwise when Morata hurt his p*ssy and proved to be a flop (Conte briefing the press as always).

Marina / Chelsea board caved in after he won the league and let him sign a lot of rubbish. He's trying to sign Emerson right now for Inter according to most reports

The guy is a complete disaster and set the club back a few years with his signings. I hope we never sign another player from Italy

Javier Hernandez will also get a winner medal for Sevilla.

Also noticed Lukaku didn't go and receive his medal.

Julen Lopetegui got sacked by Spain before the World Cup because he agreed to the Real Madrid job beforehand, instead of waiting.

Then he gets sacked by Madrid due to poor results and the backlash of losing Ronaldo, not his fault but the club suffered and he was the sacrificial lamb.

And now he's at Sevilla fulfilling the; "win the Europa" requirement

He also said he was interested in the US Men's job, but was told that the USMNT was too far into the hiring process to take a look at him.

The more I think about it, it was more a quota signing than anything else. Just a very expensive one

Thought she was cute at first, but then upon closer inspection peeped the uncanny resemblance. The bone structure too similar for them not to be related. Gotta respect the willingness to keep the resources in the family
