    Last season he was a first choice starter in a team that finished top five, and was excellent. There's a good player in there somewhere but being a box to box midfielder requires the highest level of coaching and intelligence, arguably the most difficult position to play- and it's hard to argue...

    Truly alarming at how much he's regressed this season, and hasn't started a league win in 2025. I really thought he had the potential to become the complete midfield package after establishing himself as first choice last season, but he's been awful for a while now. Still only 22 so could well...

    His form from December to April shows there is one hell of a talent in there. His form and demeanor since that Rio Ferdinand interview makes me wonder if the attitude questions were valid. Is he sulking because he got dropped for the big Europe League games? Quite a few times today where he...

    The biggest damnation of it all is that the "philosophy" that was supposedly unshakeable doesn't appear to be coming through at all anymore. Supposedly all Ange trains us on his how to play "his" way, and that is Audere Est Facere, go for it in every game. Games like Leicester, Newcastle and...

    Had a crap league season but has been our best player in Europe. With Bergvall out and Kulu still not back to form then it's hard to see where the creativity is going to come from if this injury is serious.

    If I'd been in a coma since the Mourinho years and this was the first game I'd watched after waking up then I'd have thought he was still the manager. Solid defensive performance, clinical in front of goal, controlled possession, but without really creating any real chances beyond the ones we...

    Can be useful in games when we have a lot of the ball, the opposition's defence is dodgy and we are able to play the ball into space in the box for him to run into. Against any sort of organised opposition or where he's needed in the build-up play.....oh boy.....

    League table since the win at the Etihad which seems forever ago now: In most seasons, that's relegation form over more than half a season's worth of games, and conceding two goals per game on average. I'll add to this that we've now dropped points in 9 of 20 games in which we've taken the...

    I again refer people back to Erik ten Hag. Dead and buried after their worst season in Premier League history, pulled off a miraculous cup final win, got a contract extension as a result of it and spent a load of money in the summer, only for them to get even worse and sack him anyway - now...

    Something I was thinking about earlier and did some research into it. There's a lot of talk about how suicidal we are at the back under Ange and how we have thrown matches away with brain farts, but there's a bigger problem that that is causing. Our goal difference is pretty good for a team in...

    Match Threads Liverpool vs Spurs

    It depends. If a player is rested and has a nice hot bath, they won't take much notice of the battering as it wasn't them that was involved. If they are chasing Salah's shadow for 90 minutes and struggling to beat the press, it's going to have an effect. Absolutely no way in hell are we going...

    Match Threads Liverpool vs Spurs

    Couldn't give a shit. I'd take a 6-0 battering if it means we progress against Bodo. I know Ange will want to keep some momentum with the players but we shouldn't be taking risks in this one with the semi-final four days later and a defeat of any kind isn't going to help confidence. Play only...

    I think the other big difference is that he clearly wasn't respected by the players. Remember when Kane refused to come back from his holiday to training? Our squad wasn't exactly Real Madrid but many of them had been playing in the Champions League final and under Jose Mourinho a couple of...

    Remember that Pochettino got us to the final (further) of the Champions League (better competition against better opposition) whilst also finishing 4th in the league (instead of 16th) and got sacked a few months later.

    I mean we sacked Ramos in October after winning the League Cup a few months earlier, and sacked Pochettino a few months after reaching a Champions League final...

    Mauricio Pochettino

    Disagree, and I was a huge Dembele fan. Probably the best player we could have got to replace Modric. But we used to dominate midfield games with Jenas, Palacios, Zokora, O'Hara etc in the side when Modric was there. He was that good.

    UEFA Europa and Conference League 2024/25

    Bookies have us as favourites but I would be very surprised if anyone other than Bilbao wins it. Playing in their home stadium, only lost four league games all season (and only one since the start of October), have knocked out Roma and Rangers (both of which we failed to beat), best defence in...

    We've deservedly beaten them three times already this season - but in a cup final it's anyone's guess.

    If he wins the EL then he'll get the summer. But if we start the league season badly then he'll be sacked early season - in fact I can see a scenario where that happens after we've spent Champions League money on signings that haven't hit the ground running. A European trophy would be a get out...
