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

[Gilver]

Makes sense. I definitely don't see them high pressing as much as I remember. Them and Liverpool's defensive players are under more pressure this season

It's going to be interesting because we've never actually seen Pep stay at a club this long, he does his cycle then bounces.

It's probably Haaland, with a bit of possible staleness mixed in...maybe.

We've never seen Pep have to get on his Fergie ting and refresh a team.

A win today, and then a Good Ebening will make the cypher complete

They called me a mad man.

A broken clock is right twice a day

Its usually at the top of the Coliseum section whenever I'm looking for it. But I don't really get any notifications when new posts are made

I'm wasn't even getting notifications when my posts were quoted but just saw I had the thread on ignore for some reason

When do we talk about that, despite being a machine, Haaland has ruined City

Pep gets the CL he is done. That's the only reason I see him hanging around.

United can go 3rd if they win the next game and Arsenal, City and United will all play each other Jan. (Arsenal also have Spurs)

Table might look mad come Jan 31st

Nah he's hanging around because City are basically his club, literally all of the infrastructure and those hired as staff and directors were all for him, years before he even went there.

City for Pep is pure comfort, they're not a genuine big club so there's no pressure, no one talks about City, the media don't focus on them at all, there's no scrutiny, it's all United and Liverpool(and to a lesser extent Arsenal).

At Barca and Bayern he was under an intense microscope from the media, proper fanbases(not that 'happy to be here' City vibe). Everything he said and did was analysed and questioned, it's not like that at City.

Add to the fact that his main managerial rival in Klopp is happy to hug and smile on the touchline and be an arse licker in pressers. He ain't got a Mourinho jabbing him every week, winding him up...again, no pressure.

He's living his best life right now, no reason for him to leave, CL or no CL.

The fact he hasn't won a CL and nobody is bringing that up around the club reflects this

Great run and then finish by Saka

 

[Regular Developer]

BUKAYO SAKA!!!!! LETS GOOOOOOO!

As soon as I seen the ball move towards him, I knew it was a goal

 

[jj23]

Perfect start

 

[TobiOT]

Just put the game on and Saka scored already.
