ref is such a bastard. huddersfield are wasting quarter an hour and he is not even letting us take the corner.

morata fucking shoot

one fucking time we could have used a morata dive and he stays on his feet... and huddersfield are one annoying bunch. how can they start wasting tiem already? still enough time to score a goal or two

I think it is because he was not really a Conte signing. He is really stubborn when it comes to that. I hope that if we get a new manager in in summer, he will give Bats, Barkley, Palmieri more chances IMO they are all super talented But it is really interesting that Conte plays a B team. I mean sure he wants to rest people, ManU will be completely fresh too. but this match is arguably just as big. And Azpi and Kante have not gotten a rest for ages so maybe he should rest those two first and foremost?

they need to lose though. I can imagine that they somehow concede a late equalizer and thus not win but to outright lose at home against teams that are already plain safe and is somehow unimaginable Same as pool. they have 2 weeks to rest before their cl final, so they are gonna play their best xi and they will be fresh unlike in the game vs us. the only chance i see is spurs drawing twice and this chance is minimal already. we fucked it up ourselves. just should have won one of those needless losses/draws. Other than that I would like to see at least a bit of experimenting and maybe a return to back 4 but sure we are not gonna see it. everyone knows how we are gonna play... Azpi--Rudi--Cahill--Emerson ------Kante----Drinks--------- Pedro----Willi-----Hazard ------------Giroud-------------

Rüdiger has put in great individual performance jsut as VVD. IMO as for their qualities they are on the same level. But VVD has solidified this Liverpool defence single handedly. This might be because his defensive partners like Lovren and Robertson are not exactly bad players but also because VVD experience in the pl helped him to organize the defence. I am positive tho that Rüdiger can achieve the same. I have seen a lot of interviews of him and he really is a humble, strong character who is not afraid to take responsibility but will do so on merit. If he can keep his attitude and and his level of play up i am sure he will become one of the great PL defenders.

Well that pass was nice but any amateur player can play that under no pressure and most pro footballers can do it with their weak foot and eyes closed. We are only talking about it because his passing has been a catastrophe so far

tbf solanke has not place in the squad. I would even ahve a half fit Morata/Giroud rather than Solanke who does not look anything special.

It would be best for him and for Spain if he missed the world cup. He can use the rest to recover from his mysterious injuries and start fresh into the season. He also does not merit a place in their world cup squad.

I agree. Ramires goal was insane and his run was visionary. But also Lampard's pass to Ramires was an inch-perfect masterpiece right through the defenders especially off-balance shrugging off the Barca-players challenge in the 1vs1, one of the great assists in CL history. If Torres had not been such a flop, no one would talk about that goal that much so it is not necessarily a good sign. At least the board has not lost its humour^^

typical arsenal. botch a 1-0 vs 10 men and then do not even try to make up for that in the away game. such a bunch of tossers. i mean i have seen performances like that from us too this season and it angered me but for arsenal no one even lifts a lid because that is what we have seen from them for the last 13 years.

omg this thomas partey guy is so good. i would love him next to kante.

Wanting Matic back is like wanting to have your toxic ex back only because your new fling does not work out too despite initial attraction. The only solution is to move on and find someone else. And Jose is just so classless and indiscrete. He could just shut up about that matter. He really thinks everything he says is big news.

if Liverpool are to replicate only half of their performance vs City or Roma, they will smack Real up and completely humiliate their holey defence. Remember this was a bayern team without some of their best players. lets hope liverpool keep their players fit for the final that is the only chance real have

with the rumours of us operating on a tighter budget in the future, i doubt we would shell out that much for a 29 y.o.

exactly. Zouma has become a really solid player at stoke and also learned to play right-back.

they will be tired from their cl game so i think we are gonna win but it is worth nothign because they are not gonna drop any points on the last matchday, they are gonna finish above us by gd

No. if we get 4th and pool win cl we go to the qualifiers. 5 teams in cl are max for country. however, if we leapfrog pool, they win the cl and arsenal win the el we are out of the cl

Yeah the thing is, even if it was not that favourable, imagine liverpool lose vs stoke, such that we could beat them to get 4th, I would not back us to do so with this generation of players we have. When we led Spurs 1-0 we had them by the balls, we had acres of space, chance after chance but we did not have the guts or the composure to finish them and most probably get us a top 4 finish. it is crazy, last year the same group of players saw out the title run-in cool as you like but this season when there is a game to win at any cost they somehow always fuck it up and concede silly goals and don't score.

Yup. they are trolling us. I can totally see pool and spurs both drop points one more time to make us end up agonizingly close behind them.

Still absolutely mindboggled by that morata miss. Simply lay it off to giroud

I do not get the Hype about Sarri. The next big thing? He is 59 and has not won a single top-flight trophy or cup in his career. Nor will he. He kinda choked away the serie A title twice. Also I do not see how his individualistic style and persona fit our strange board.

Same here. In terms of potential and natural talent Emerson is head and shoulders above Alonso and has not put a foot wrong so far. I understand that Conte wanted to ease him in but now that the season is done why not give the fringe players a chance?

The shit is if we had won Spurs which was not out of our reach if we actually had concentrated one bit and and least won one of the games we completely needlessly lost points in against wack oppositon we would be 4th now.

out for the world cup... you really have to feel for him. hit the ground running at BVB showed what he is good only to be set back again. get well soon, Michy.
