Winning one at Dortmund will likely feel sweeter and a bigger scale of achievement than 5 at Bayern. Maybe he craves that type of challenge.

I've got a horrible feeling this last week is the start of a massive can of worms being opened. Greenwood, Overmars and now Zouma. All different levels or wrong but still ultimately wrong. Hopefully we haven't got any wronguns in our current squad, gut instinct is saying we haven't but you just never know.

Looking back at it signing him in 2011 made no sense either. We were looking at nimble technical players and until Jose returned trying to build a team around those ideals, even the one's that didn't work (Marin) made sense in theory. He would have looked just as out of place in a team involving Hazard, KDB, Oscar, Mata and young Azpi as he does in this one, if not more so.

Wow that one genuinely slipped my mind, how embarrassing.

Not saying Callum has blown the world away but not really sure exactly why Pulisic is rated higher, even factoring his purple patch nearly two years ago now. In the last few weeks alone Callum made three massive contributions to our win at Villa and his quality created the Ziyech moment. Without him we could well be winless in the league since Leeds. How far back do we have to go to find as many clutch contributions from Pulisic? I think the last one atall was Real, admittedly a huge one was still.

The cup final is really a catch 22. Any other opponent (even City) I'll say play him because he's earned it, but if there's one team that really take advantage of his long shot weakness (the one part of his game Tuchel hasn't managed to erase) it's Liverpool.

For a start, Lukaku robbed him of two against Spurs.

It's not a one off, this guy will be playing for England.

Plymouth keeper really doing himself proud today. Won't be surprised to see him in the PL this year (not basing it just on today).

This is where we're at now post vaccine. If he was a 'normal' person he probably wouldn't have known about it

Really hope we don't take this game lightly, there's very much potential for another Bradford if we do. They've just signed Ryan Sessengon's twin brother Steven who was in the U17 world cup squad with Callum and Conor.

They actually don't, we just constantly let them off the hook with poor finishing. The last time they properly nullified us was the 0-0 under Sarri.

Unless he's homesick or Frank is offering him higher status (like direct assistant) it wouldn't make sense for Barry to do this so hopefully he declines.

The target men links were even more hilarious. A club with no recent history of going after target men (not even under Jose) is suddenly linked with all of them under the sun under a manager with a strong history of using them and apparently it was the former forcing it on the latter.

No one would have blamed Conte for not retaining the league (although I do think he had a lot more say in those transfers than people want to admit). It's finishing 5th while getting slapped by the likes of Bournemouth, Watford, Newcastle and approaching an away game to City like we were San Marino that swayed opinion on him.

Effective super subs are as important as starters. They're the ones that turn 0 points into 1 and 1 into 3. Also he'll be a good defensive option aswell in the sense if teams are pushing up trying to get a leveller the sight of him coming on is the absolute last thing they'll want to see.

Adama. Would be a good wingback and if not playing there a dream super sub to bring on late in games.

Unpopular opinion but I'd have him here.

He's made no secret of the fact that playing in the next world cup is the main thing still driving him. This is just a trade off we have to suck up.

Straight after his miskick he moaned at Callum for not passing then proceeded to stand offside for a few seconds despite the fact we were still attacking.

Simeone's striker recruitment is shockingly bad so there's hope. I'm clinging on to the hope Paris try to panic buy him to replace Mbappe.

I know he has to do it more consistently but today shows exactly why I am on his 'train' so to speak. Ziyech's goal will get headlines but it was his quality that created the situation.

This shows why I'm standing by Callum.

Mount layed one on a plate for him and Ziyech crosses should be perfect for someone his size. It's not been perfect but he's a £97m striker who should be making the most of this.

Thing is, we have actually been "servicing" Lukaku but he's once again showing how shit he is. Prime Costa and this game is over.
