Barella?

Alonso read this thread

Was that Chelsea fans booing Alonso? No one deserves that

We really need an Alonso alternative this month itself

of course city get a soft pen

Its Bayern, Ajax, Real, Lille or PSG Atleti Sporting Benfica Inter Salzburg Villarreal/Atalanta No easy teams but finishing top of group was better. 1/4 chance of Bayern now

Anyone has a read on this defender? How good, style of play, how is he on the ball

I hope Conte convinces the Spurs board to trade Lukaku for Kane

We can do without losing both AC and Rudi but it wouldn't be the end of the world if they both left. The 3 CB system is perfect for them (especially AC) but if they choose to move on, we could target CBs who can thrive in a back four, change the defensive shape to commit more players forward.

Top - City, Liverpool, ManU, Ajax, Madrid, Bayern, Lille 2nd - PSG, Sporting, Inter, Barca, Villarreal, Salzburg, Porto/Milan/Atleti I'd rather finish top. There is only one team in that whole list that could be a very tough game - Bayern.

We have a far better chance in the UCL than winning the league. We are struggling to break down some teams in the league but a knockout game is ideal for the likes of Kante, Mount who run endlessly and close down spaces.

"Trust the process"

West Ham beat Liverpool too. We didn't show up vs Watford, West Ham and Man United. Opposition was not brilliant at all

Tough to take that but the truth is Liverpool played like a top team - kept at it.

Ah why do I bother

Jota missed after going past the keeper!

Would have made no difference. Even Werner doesn't fit the team in a central role. Especially with West Ham's defense going deeper and deeper.

About this "Liverpool will wear out" thing, they've been in title races for years now. They finished above us even last year. Liverpool's lack of rotation has not caused them many problems till now and they do have decent backup players who may not be excellent individually but fit the way they play very well - like Tsimikas at LB.

Was it known before this season that Lukaku does not press? I didn't watch him in Italy but whatever little I saw him off his highlights showed he was working his ass off there.

At least the fun lasted till December this year

When are Kante and Kovacic back?

Nice. Weekend already ruined

Ah well fuck football

Having long spells of possession. Still time

Why is Callum at wing-back!
