Not long after @Jason said the gap between them and other teams is massive, jinxed my coupon!!!!

In the thread where we were discussing Bayern and the Bundesliga due to them signing their rivals players last week IIRC. 

[Milan 17,835]

Nat Phillips and Ozan Kabak are #LFC's 18th centre-back partnership of the season.

Just wow.

Oh. 🤣

I never said the other teams can't beat them in a game. I just said the others aren't good enough to beat them to the Bundesliga title over the course of a season.

Going forward, they are still great but defensively, they have been very poor.

Ancelotti is one of only three managers to have won the UEFA Champions League three times (twice with Milan and once with Real Madrid), and one of only two to have managed teams in four finals. He has won the FIFA Club World Cup twice, managing Milan and Real Madrid.^[6][7] Ancelotti is also one of seven people to have won the European Cup or Champions League as both a player and a manager. He is regarded as one of the best and most successful managers of all time.

Im talking about domestic mate, he does not have the best of stats domestically. He is proven and an experienced manager, been everywhere but I would still not swap TT for CA.

As long as Pep is at Citeh we have little chance to win the EPL. IF they pull Håland, zero. Another brace today. 29 goals, 7 assists in 2100 or so minutes. A few months back he was a teenager still.

Greater than Mourinho, Klopp and Pep. Give him the money and backing Pep get's and he'll do even better and actually win CL's without needing Messi lol.

He also is the only one to win his 3 CL's at 2 diffrent clubs. Paisley won all 3 at Pool, and of course ZZ at RM with prime CR7.

The disrespect for him is unreal, because fans always talk about Pep/Klopp/Mourinho even though Carlo is better than all of them.

we have a hard last 4 games (it was looking like pool was going to be tossed in there too)

The five before them aren't so bad though.

3rd April - WBA (home)

10th April - Palace (away)

17th April - Brighton (home)

24th April - West Ham (away)

1st May - Fulham (home)

Next three games will be vital. Still being in a good position top4-wise after United, Liverpool, Everton would give a massive confidence boost going into the 'easier' run of games.

I saw his goal today and it was typical Bundesliga non existing defending. Such an overrated league
