    That's fake because Italian newspapers are pink.

    Nope, it's legit. Gazetta dello Sport is the only sports paper in Italy that uses pink paper.

    Also, those fucking hoofs from Liverpool. Precise as fuck.

    Alisson, Van Dijk, Wijnaldum, Lovren, Milner, Keita, Firmino, Mane, Salah, Gomez, Adrian, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Lallana, Lonergan, Shaqiri, Brewster, Robertson, Origi, Jones, Alexander-Arnold, Elliott, Williams.
    So that's the squad we're taking to the World Club Championship thingamajig which really seriously begs the question as to what our line up is going to be against Villa because quite frankly, I can think of maybe three of that potential line up. Clear where our priority lies but it's a quarter final of a cup comp so I would have preferred a bit more experience. It looks like we're going to stick out the entire U23/18's for it and Villa aren't that bad tbf to the twats.

    It's the league cup, you're arguably the best side in the world at the moment and World Club Championship would be a nice addition.

    If I was a liverpool fan I wouldn't give the slightest shit about the fa cup or even the champions league this season, let alone the league cup. Prem or bust.

    Club World Cup would be good for marketing purposes, but beyond that fuck the domestic cups off.

    Pile everything into the league and Champions League.

    No doubts it would be a nice addition. I just assumed we would leave 3/4 who at least have first team experience. Lallana, Shaq etc probably won't even be used over there.

    This is true but then we've just had a good the piss taken out of us for nearly a decade for winning just one trophy so it would have been nice to take all competitions seriously as honestly, I reckon we'd have a chance in each and every one of them.

    The Premier League is obviously the one we want but we're a big club and big clubs should contest multiple honours. I expect our U23/18's to give Villa a game but given you then get the chance to face either Man United/Man City or Everton in a semi or final, it just feels a bit meh as those are the games you want. Watch Leicester win the thing now.

    I would think some of that Liverpool squad will play against Villa and then travel out for the second game (is there definitely a second game or do you need to win the first?).

    Either that or b-team versus whoever in the world club thing and youth team and Adrian against Villa and rest the first XI.

    Our first game is the semi final but truth be told, I didn't think about a few flying out after the Villa game as we play the very next day.

    Apparently they need to be in Qatar 48 hours before the first match so that's a no-go.

    It'll be word from up high that's made them send a real squad. Global fanbases couldn't give a fuck about the League Cup but there is great glory in defeating Al Sadd and whatever Mexican side is there this year.

    I'd have thought Brewster, Jones, Elliott and Williams at least would have played against Villa. I can't see them getting on the pitch in Qatar so it seems a waste to take them.

    They'll probably get a game in the semi against whichever goat herders they're playing.

    Shit.

    League cup team: Kelleher, Hoever, Van Den Berg, ????, Larouci/Lewis, Chiravella, erm, after that I'm out. They're going to get butchered.

    Monterrey would finish bottom of their group in the European Champions League. Flamengo are probably about as good as Arsenal.

    They'll probably play both games at 50% and it'll just end up being a week long training camp

    Glatzel up top. Kane in the middle. Do we still have Clyne or is he injured, sold or dead?

    They are no America, but I guess they're alright. Currently in the semifinals of the Mexican league.

    If it's an Anfield we'll just have to rely on the crowd to suck a few balls in for us.

    As expected, Silva has been sacked. Another interesting and quite startling fact, Evertons starting line up cost more than ours last night.

    How much do you think Grealish will set someone back if he goes? Is his contract solid enough for people to get their pants pulled down?

    Grealish strikes me as a Zaha. Great at a club like Villa, useless at a Top 6 club. Probably a good fit for Arsenal

    Oh, perhaps 35m?

    I thought he wasn’t up to much when he first came through but he’s led that club back from despair. He’s had a lot of responsibility put on him and come through it. I don’t see him as a 10 needing 2 assists every week. He’s just really good at keeping the ball moving through midfield. Can pop it off or drop a shoulder and beat a man.

    £35M? Not a chance. Elmohamady says Grealish is the best he has ever played with and Salah is his international team mate so whatever Salah is worth now plus the inevitable English tax so I reckon you're looking at closer to £120M.

    If he could add more goals to his game then he'd be an shoe in for the national squad, I reckon.

    Elmohamady has played at such talented hotbeds as Sunderland and Hull.

    Grealish was making noises about Liverpool the other day, in the context of the position he prefers to play in, so I eagerly await another installment of the "fuck you, pay me" saga.

    He played under Steve Bruce at Sunderland.
    He played under Steve Bruce at Hull.
    He played under Steve Bruce at Villa.
    The same Steve Bruce who currently has Newcastle 11th if score remains the same.

    He's not good enough for us at this moment in time and thankfully we're no longer dumb fucks who'll be held to ransom.

    Why isn't Tierney playing? Surely he is fit by now?? Arsenal appear to have selected an actual proper midfield for once. 3-0, ahoy.

    There can't have been many more erratic/rash back 4s than the Arsenal one tonight. Kolasinac, Luiz and Sokratis are all absolute bombscares. They're the only team I've seen who are worse at playing it out from the back than Brighton in terms of mental risk taking. All neat and tidy from Brighton but they do lack an attacking edge so could do with Arsenal chucking one in for them.

    Just an FYI, these last two games have been better than anything in months (excluding Europa/Carling Cup teams). That's how bad it's been.

    In this age of VAR, you should play to the whistle on everything. EDIT: Unless the whistle went and they still gave it.

    Yes it is. This team has been utterly anemic for a while now. Completely incapable of creating chances outside of individual brilliance. Now they're coming from the team playing. Do you not see the difference?

    Your mate Connolly, while very good, clearly has a bit of the dickhead about him.

    Bit of a headless chicken still but young enough to hopefully end up a decent player. Definite arsehole but I’ll forgive him for about 3 goals a qualifying campaign.
