Wilson missing the next 6 at least, I reckon they're in the bottom 3 by his return.

If Everton and Villa win their games in hand Liverpool go eighth.
Aye, it's difficult to see where the goals will come from. Saint Maximin's been great since coming back.
Fulham only need 8 victories to go above us. Telling.Originally Posted by Mellberg
Thought both teams kept their shape admirably there, an excellent watch.
Bring back Frank Lampard.
United next.
Then a triple header of the West Midlands clubs. Buckle up.
Craven Cottage on the last day? Sheffield United before that? That's fate.
Your mate Mount was dreadful. Any side with Alonso and Jorginho are going to be a slow mess.
We've been particularly shit against the bottom three recently so don't panic.United next.

What really impresses me about the Tuchel approach is how many touches we have. 748 touches tonight. A touch of the ball may seem a little thing but it can make a huge difference in a game, particularly when it's, say, Antonio Rudiger having a touch in his own half. An opponent will look up at Rudiger, and he'll take that touch, and the opponent will think: 'Shit. He's got the ball' - and that is in turn because Rudiger really does have the ball. Where does the opponent go from there? He doesn't have the ball - Rudiger does, and he's taken a touch to prove it - so the only option he has left is to organise. It's organise or die, out there, when you don't have the ball, and also when you do. Because what could be more organised than a touch of the ball? It's a player, in a kit, saying yes - the ball is at my feet, it's under my control.
748 touches. Let that sink in. That's more than eight touches every minute. The only crying shame is that the crowds aren't in to see it.
U OK hun?
Suuuuper, super Frank. Suuuuper, super Frank. Suuuuper, super Frank. Super Franky Binman.
I've seen us win before, I don't need to see some German uncle do it at a slow pace with Marcos Alonso. I was enjoying the Lampard express to 12th.
I’ve signed up to the Athletic twice now and read a combined 3 articles.
Fulham have Burney and Sheff Utd coming up before we play again. Championship football.
I'm signed up too and I don't really know why, but they do have a very good CL quiz yesterday: https://theathletic.com/2384999/
Champions league has snuck up on me. It's Barca vs PSG and that reminds me of that final goal with Neymar delivering one of the best chipped through balls, Ive ever witnessed.

We're playing against a strikerless bunch of no-hopers whose top scorer is a failed prem fullback. Put the tie to bed in the first leg please.
Why is he refusing to play 2 actual centre backs? The midfield 3 really doesn’t work either.
All available centrebacks are non-league/SPL level, sadly.
It worked until Jones came off against Leicester tbf.
Midfield needs Henderson in it though.
What a shame we can't play these naive fucks every week with that defensive line of theirs. We'd be 6 up with VVD.
Upamecano's distribution is fucking disgraceful too. Just a quick Nat Phillips.
First half performance again good. If we can manage to get the bargain bucket guys settled at CB and get Fabs and Hendo back where they belong we could yet salvage this.
I know its Mbappe but this Barcelona defence is getting spun, every time he picks up the ball
I’ve barely watched and there’s been about 600 backheels.
Upamecano has been utter shit.
He looks utter shit every game he plays.
Haha. This is confirmation of Jimmy's (?) theory that German football's a load of shite. No wonder Bayern win the league every year.
Massive result, this.
I'm a twit
lol at Barcelona.
They need to start getting knocked out in the group stages.
Mbappe only just turned 22. Lol
Good to see Moise Kean further showing Everton how wrong they were about him too.
That was frantic. I haven't seen Liverpool press like that for a long time.
It was a thing of beauty.
Curtis Jones looking better each game.
Winning a match
We had looked fine against Leicester too in fairness, but the result is important. The lack of incomprehensible cockups from Allison/defense was probably the biggest improvement.
Leipzig played into Liverpool's hands.
Upamecano shitting himself whenever he attempted to pass the ball and Mukiele being a clown helped too obviously.
Upamecano seems to have gone to shit this season.
That Barcelona result is pretty lol as well.
I read some pundit spouting about how 'he wouldn't be surprised' if there was some sort of Messi/Mbappe swap deal in the summer, which would surely be an immediate contender for the worst transfer in history.
Hopefully Liverpool can interject and swap Mbappe for Neco Williams.
I'm a twit
Why are people still taking Barcelona to be some kind of perpetual hegemon, like it's 2011? Read some history, chumps.
Diallo and Shoretire in tomorrow's squad
He still belongs to them doesn’t he?
Can't tell if this is the oldest I've ever felt but this is him:Diallo and Shoretire in tomorrow's squad
I haven't even selectively picked that
To God we belong, and to Him we return. Though in Kean's case, yes, God is a seething Bill Kenwright.
For now but both sides have apparently said they'd like to make the switch permanent.
Lads, I don't want to come across as comically biased or something but seriously, watch the Juve game today if yoh want a peek at one of the greatest target man centre-forwards operating in the modern game who very few casual fans will have heard of.
His name is Mehdi Taremi and let me tell you, beside an all-round game with absolutely no weaknesses, he also has a ridoculous ability to win legitimate penalties. I'd be confident that they're fucking up Juve tonight if his 10 other teammates weren't a bit useless. But Juve are shit too so meh.
Pronounced Shor-ay-tir-eh I'll have you knowCan't tell if this is the oldest I've ever felt but this is him:

Har-vee Price.
itk.
