The awkward realisation when people realise Alvarez is more suited to this City setup than Haaland will be funny.

Sadly I can see Liverpool winning the league this season and Klopp regardless of the price won't play Nunez until if/when he's ready whereas Haaland will play unconditionally.

Watching Haaland for City reminds me of Lukaku playing for us. Hardly involved.

He’ll still score about 25 tap-ins from the thousand cutbacks and crosses City put in.

It's a shame we've had such upheaval this summer. With a bit more of a stable situation we could have potentially taken advantage of the teething problems City will have adapting to Haaland.

We got to look at the record books. Is it bad luck to win community shield.

 

How many clubs have won community shield and then won premier league or champions league in same season.

On a side note...have you seen some of the reactions (not on this forum) to Kepa's potential loan move?

People are claiming that this would be a disaster because they feel Kepa should be number 1 over Mendy due to his better distribution

He’ll struggle against 80% of the Prem. He’s poor in tight spaces.

Shame the rest of them won't. It'll be close between them two again for sure. Can see Liverpool edging it this time

It's kind of alarming how few have managed to hit the ground running. Dzeko is the only name that comes to mind from the get go, whilst Son has found his feet after a few seasons under his belt.

Last time liverpool won community shield was 2006 vs Chelsea 2 - 1

 

And 2001 liverpool won 2 - 1 Manchester United

I don't know what you think but every Pep defeat is music to the ears of the sports fans.

Julian Alvarez will be more important signing for them than Haaland .

I would even bet that if they both played the same number of games,  Alvarez  would score as many goals as Haaland , if not more.

Only Chelsea not have  adequate striker for years.  Diego Costa time . 

Hazard false 9 , Without Striker , Morata was there , Higuain , Werner , Lukakus .  Same shit every season .

Spurs with Conte yet again showing if you allow them the ball, they don't know what to do with it.
