City-Spurs is going to be a noughties throwback with their rock solid back four plus two or three defensive midfielder set-ups. Yawn.
Actually having a defence has sorted City right out though and just serves as further proof that at the highest level of any sport defending well is the way to win. I say any, I mean football and the various eggball codes I'm familiar with.
Looks like he has been eating high off the hog.

Jolean Lescott's really piled it on.

The most valuable player in the game![]()
I assume that's mostly his political sway.
Villa have the covid so they could be fielding a pretty lol side tomorrow night , unless it gets canned, which I didn't think was supposed to happen, but the Southampton game seems to have gone already.
That U23 league ain't gonna know what's hit it.
Under-fifteens by the look of him. He needs to be eating high off the hog.
This Villa game should be banter. We were never gonna play full-strength but we ain't playing kids either so hopefully we can avenge the 5-0 League Cup encounter of last year.
It'll end up being called off and we'll have to play the youth team in the rearranged fixture.
I'm hoping for mass postponements. There are no better FA Cups than those where one team has made the quarter-finals but others are still stuck in the fourth round, i.e. Southampton will play Arsenal or Derby County or Luton Town or Lewes or Old Carthusians or the Duke of Norfolk's XI.
Like when the FA Cup breaks in CM 01-02. "There will be competition for the rest of time because last year's season cannot be stopped."
Can’t wait for the inevitable first minute goal by some random Villa youth player.
Apparently they have Winston Bogarde's nephew and Sturridge's cousin in their youth teams![]()
Haller gone to Ajax for £20m after West Ham signed him for £47m in 2019.
OOFT.
Getting that much for him and getting him off the wage bill is an absolute result tbf.
Why would Ajax waste £20 million on a third rate carthorse. Offsets the next youngster they sell.
West Ham always seem to buy strikers for big money and every single one seems like pure shit
Huntelaar is retiring at the end of the season too, I believe
He's 26. He can score 40 goals a season there and bag another big fee move and turn an easy profit for them too. It's a great deal for all parties. Until West Ham go and sign M.Dembele with the proceeds. Fucking Azmoun sitting there waiting to be bagged.
Didn't Haller burst on to the scene in Holland? Makes perfect sense.
If by 'burst onto the scene' you mean scored 30 in 65 for Utrecht, then yeah. I'm sure the pubs in Nijmegen, Groningen and Kerkrade are still bouncing with folklore about his rape and pillage of their boys.
Jesus, I could have stomached going strong but not starting Fabinho ffs. We're out of top 4 if he gets an injury ffs.
Still, we're getting drunk on Mellin's tears tonight boys. -4 at 1.83 lools free money.
Why have Aston Villa went that extreme? You’d have thought a few senior players who make the bench would have played.
That Liverpool team on the other handclearly after revenge
Liverpool are going to win 10-0.
Salah will be running back with the ball to the half way line if there’s any chance of a double hattrick
Telly?
BT in UK.
That’ll be BT here too then. I think it’s only Amazon games change for here.
Klopp is living on another planet atm. Who has to get injured for him to rotate?
I hope Mister Klopp gets a couple of penalties tonight.
BT showing U18 clips of Villa attackerthey'll fucking touch the ball about as much as I will.
I thought our U10s did pretty well last year before getting sabotaged by a few goals against the run of play and VIlla's better professionalism, so fully expect this to be a lot closer than some. That side though, fucking hell, not really far off full strength. Respecting the cup and all that.
Nah, this is biggest gulf in class in a competitive game ever to have taken place in the sport.
Jurgen we need 5 subs to protect the players Klopp doing the footy equivalent of North Korea executing people with mortar strikes, silly twat.
Goal in first 5 minutes klaxon.
A Liverpool injury or two would be hilarious.
