Aye, but they were losing most of the games 1-0 with all of the good attackers still largely available.
Ah, Kabak. Christ.
Phillips is still collecting his £3m a year on the back of that period.
The spurs one is even more suspicious as when you watch the goals back the entire defence makes basic errors/can't be arsed which is the antithesis of a Pep team.
Old Davey Coote accused of betting corruption now due to an alleged message exchange about a yellow card prior to a game in which said player was then booked.
That was Klopp just being stubborn though more than anything. He kept playing Henderson and Fabinho at the back which fucked the balance of the midfield and stopped us scoring in a lot of that run. Once he realised and put them back in midfield and just selected the spastics at the back we went on a decent run again.
No Vinicius or Rodrygo for Madrid tonight. Very strong argument for Slott to rest some players given the MASSIVE game at the weekend.
Having not seen much of Real, doesn't having a few players out actually help in that they will now be playing Mbappe in his preferred position?
No one's getting 'rested'. Diaz and MacAllister will come back in I would guess, there will therefore be some rotation, but start Salah, smash their back doors in and keep rolling. Winning would mean they can pretty much sack off the remaining Champions League games and still likely qualify in the top 8 [they will also likely win those other games with weakened sides as they are all against dross].
The off field drama with FFP can't be helping Man City either.
I think the loss of Rodri was just the straw that broke the camel's back of putting pressure on the club. If you've ever watched Rodri live, his presence is not overrated. Tall, massive back and shoulders. Usually the sharpest and strongest player on the pitch, anticipating each pass and making it look easy. Protects the ball like it's a special Christmas gift. Midfielders around him look like U14 players, and he's simply a natural leader like Roy Keane was.
"massive back and shoulders"
Surely they're missing Dias as much as anyone, although he has seemed less good than his first season colossus status in more recent times. Persistently refusing to ever have a left back also not helpful.
The smile Pep did when he said 'I want to harm myself'
I think we're just seeing why Rodri's winning the balloon of gold was absolutely justified.
Power just went out at Fratton Park
This game seems to be fitting the mould of all the Liverpool versus Real Madrid games of recent times.
That Conor Bradley tackle on Mbappé.
It’s off. Lights came back on about 20mins ago & they came out to warm up, but it got called off anyway.Power just went out at Fratton Park
Was top! Shame his shot didn’t rocket into the top corner.That Conor Bradley tackle on Mbappé.
McCoist bumming Bradley must do Robertson’s head in (presuming he watches the game back) when the latter has been fantastic this game.
Darwin his usual self.
I'm a twit
Didn’t think we’d ever score past the big cunt. I know he’s a great keeper but he really does seem to turn into an FM super keeper every time we play them.
Nice jinx, dickhead.
Mbappe.

Salolah.
Surely to god the wheels come off this Liverpool team at some point. 2020 vibes
So only Nottingham Forest have beaten Liverpool this season.
Man City haven’t won in 6 games.
What a crazy season.
It's alright, we're got nuclear holocaust on the menu to fuck things up this time.
Real in 24th and PSG in the fuck off home zone.
Maybe they should make it so if you finish in the bottom bit you get 'relegated' and aren't allowed in next year. Extra games issue aside, this new format is really so much better.
Van Nistelrooy in at Leicester.
Villa getting done out of a late winner there. They’ve not won in a fair while.
But I was told Emery was the greatest manager ever and Arsenal treated him poorly.
If we win on Sunday, I'll be checking what the current situation of new infectious diseases is, in China.
Fuck me, I can't take this anymore. Are there any group of individuals on the planet more insufferable than Liverpool fans?
Americans?
Bald United fans.
He finished 4th with gimps like Tielemans, Cash, Digne and Carlos starting every other week. I’m not sure he’s the guy to critique
Super Frank
Wouldn’t be shocked if Chelsea use Coventry as a feeder club ala Tomori and Mount with Derby now
We previously had a pipeline to former Chelsea youth players with Adi Viveash, he was let go in the summer but the guy who replaced Viveash in the Chelsea setup has now come along with Lampard. We must have signed at least two players with Chelsea academy experience each season for the last 7 years, at least that streak will continue
Maybe we will now finally get a win over Coventry. Although we don't play you again until the final day so he could well be gone by then.
The widespread desire to see Lampard fail is a curious thing. Even Gerrard I don't think attracts the same hatred although his record is far worse. Is Frank seen as too middle class?
Due to the time it took to appoint him I've gone from not wanting him at all to being happy we've finally confirmed what everyone knew weeks ago and excitedly waiting for his first joke but no, serious point interview with the club.
Son of an ex-pro, nephew of the manager that gave him his big break, 'Arry nailed it in that press conference years ago, there's always been a feeling of the silver spoon with Lampard, obviously unfairly in a playing football context and managerially he seems to get more grief than he really probably deserves. Doesn't help himself mind, never comes across as particularly humble. Take all that shit with Bielsa, for example.
Van Nistelrooy new Leicester manager apparently.
Lazy appointment.
Wondergoal in the Utd game just there
Chelsea twitter account has given it all caps WHAT A PERFORMANCE regarding tonight's 2-0 win at Heidenheim. I think this is the moment I finally decouple from football.
When you take into account Disasi, Dewsbury-Hall, Casadei, Guiu and Mudryk all playing it was probably deserving of the caps. Proper brutal performance.
Hopefully maresca has the balls to play the far more talented academy players in the last two games
Fucking lol.
We look shite but that’s a lovely finish from Hojlund
Rangers laying the smack down on Ineos France, what's going on there?
Just turned the Spurs-Roma game on to find Claudio Ranieri apparently up to his neck in a third spell at the latter, stalking Mourinho's scent like a geriatric lynx. What a man.
And Mats Hummels has just grabbed a late equaliser for him. People just turn up anywhere these days.
