No one's spending the kind of money required. Even before the pandemic the Manchester clubs don't. Barca are broke. Real Madrid maybe. Worst case scenario the recruitment has been very good the last two years.

    We were okay pre-lockdown before we lost our centre forward, centre mid and first and second choice goalkeepers for the season. Think we were 14th and then had to start playing shit like Nyland, Samatta and a pissed up Danny Drinkwater to get through the season. Wesley's still fucked 13 months later.

    He's a proper wrong'un. It's all a bit murky and hard to nail the info down (China), but I think he's doing time/under house arrest/on the run for financial shenanigans.

    Thiago with a horrifying performance. He must have given the ball away on half a dozen occasions.

    Trent has it on a plate for someone 2 or 3 times for them to fuck it up, but steady performance overall.

    Thiago needs a slap to wake him up at half time.

    Written all over this is Liverpool struggling to create a big chance and failing to score whilst dominating possession and then Vardy scores somewhere in the 80th-90th minute.

    You see the odd bit of quality from him on the ball now and then, but overall he's been absolute shit since signing (something that was to an extent foreseen). Maybe he's just taking his time to adjust to the league.

    Late Alisson-induced implosion again. It was nice having a half-decent keeper for a year or so at least.

    Liverpool should be 6th after this week of games as Chelsea and West Ham have easy home games. Villa still have about ten games in hand too

    If Everton somehow get points at Anfield next week, end the season now

    "What a seven minutes, the energy, the desire"

    It's upsetting because it was an improved performance and looked to be a deserved win before that collective aneurysm took place. They just feel extremely mentally fragile at the moment.

    Thiago looked the coolest cat in the world for Bayern, now he looks a little unhinged. Has his passing even been that good after the autumn?

    Strange coming together for Leicester's second goal - surely a keeper and defender can hear any shouts with no crowd.

    I knew I was sceptical about Thiago in the summer transfer thread. There was a lot of shit in there too though. Selected highlights.

Maybe for some fancy dan possession wankers, but I don't know about him as an '8' the way Liverpool play. Gini is mega-underrated and even if he were to leave I don't think it's a position that would need urgent restaffing. Changing the system unsettles the front 3.

I presume he's just had one of the latter at Roma. Maybe Stones will follow a similar trajectory. Someone should nab him off City for peanuts.

    Slagged Cancelo and Jota as well I think. :/
