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

[Max B]

that Fernandinho performance

City looks like a totally different team without. Goes to show how valuable he is to the team​

 

[BlackBall]

The media is going to spin this so hard watch out

 

[Trajan]

cant wait for gomez or atleast matip to get back because loveren is a disaster waiting to happen

It's BEEN like this. The Arsenal game was a huge red flag. But what are the chances of Gomez and Matip both breaking bones. And VVD will miss the first game against Bayern smh!

 

[Yayo Toure]

Splash the cash for Casemiro or take Bakayoko as a Pep experiment

Casemiro never getting sold.

I think they are going for Ndombele. He was amazing against us in champions league.

 

[Trajan]

Nobody wants Liverpool to win. So much things wrong with them, I don't even know where to start.

It could've been any other team contending with City, even racist ass Chelsea and people would be more divided. It says alot about the troubled history of the club you support.

Lol oil bought domination a la PSG is so

first time i've seen Klopp not trying to play the underdog card

 

[MikeyC]

All the neutrals rooting for City you really want the EPL to become like Seria A/Ligue 1 with the same winner every season?

We're doing you guys a favour. You're welcome.

If Chelsea can't win the title, I'd much rather see City win it than Liverpool.

Our midfield stop playing Milner and Henderson together

Would've been worse had Liverpool won. In the leadup to this game I've seen ppl say Van Dijk is the best defender of all time in the premier league, how robertson is the best left back in europe. A 10 point Liverpool lead would've been the most miserable period in modern day football.

Y'all need to stop using money as an argument. Only spurs fans can use that as an argument
United will splash the cash if they have confidence in the manager
Liverpool is splashing cash
Chelsea is also spending

Copping pleas already. Liverpool fans man.

Nah, he's right tbh. Bottling and all those terms are lazy sensationalism and boring attempts at banter in order to elevate the more honest and simple statements like 'Liverpool were outplayed' or 'Tottenham were outplayed' . The media and lames on twitter do it the most though

Exactly. These dudes had 140m worth of midfielders on the bench. World record keeper and defender.

For years they hid under the excuse that other teams bought success. Now these guys tried to buy it and see that there are no guarantees in football. Mane can try to buy a hairline but couldn't pay that ball to cross the line.

You know Der Spiegel has a bunch of reports on City's money trickery right?

How does it work in practice? Apparently, companies like Etihad in Abu Dhabi wait for the Abu Dhabi United Group (ADUG), the holding company that belongs to Sheikh Mansour and which also owns Manchester City, to wire them money. That money is then "routed through the partners and they then forward onto us," wrote Finance Director Andrew Widdowson in an email. That, at least, is how things were done in 2015: At the time, the deal with Etihad was bringing in 67.5 million pounds annually. But Chief Financial Officer Chumillas emphasized in an email to Pearce: "Please note that out of those 67.5m pounds, 8m pounds should be funded directly by Etihad and 59.5 by ADUG."
