We weren’t very good. Hopefully we don’t get beat against Everton so we can get back to getting the league hopefully wrapped up and not limping to the end of the season.

That bus parade is going to be mint.
Time's up for Slot.
I got slightly worried when he brought on 7 attackers.
Yeah, but the sponsorship value of being associated with it for Aramco is off the charts.
I'm also not convinced he wont go to Barcelona who have no money, but will somehow be allowed to sign and register him after finding the 37th financial lever.
If Liverpool lose Trent, Salah, and VVD in the summer, then I can't see them challenging for much in the next couple of seasons at the very least, regardless of who they bring in to replace them. Not to mention needing to replace the weaker links in the team.
Could be a very important summer for Slot.
Mon Salah ghosting another big game imagine my shock
Anti football nerd
I think with Slot if all three leave and we don’t get the replacements right he could be in trouble by the end of next year because there are some pretty glaring holes in the rest of the squad. Notably at left-back and the forwards other than Salah.
If Salah stays the biggest thing we have to sort in the summer is another striker and get Nunez out of the door. PSG showed up that we now do have a distinct lack of out and out pace in the squad. None of the front line are really quick and watching the PSG front-line really show how much pace can terrify a defence.
Kluivert looks like the kind of player he'd buy. As for our FSR wank, Champions League footy would be a much bigger boost. I don't think this Cup win raises the needle.
England up against Albania with a potential back 4 of Skelly, Burn/Colwill, Guehi and Walker is frightening. How have we ended up here?
I mean, Lewis-Skelly is good, Guehi is good and Walkers won a billion premier leagues and the Champions League and we're playing Albania. I'm not sure its worth the 'Won't someone think of the Children' posing questions.
I reckon Guehi could have his pick of non-Arsenal teams in the league in the summer imo.
Walker is the odd one out to me, but I've not watched more than 10 minutes of him in a Milan shirt so who knows, maybe hes in good form.
We should buy him back for whatever it takes, he shits on Colwill and our other retards.
Hopefully Newcastle land the right bid. I suspect there's £10m more on his price tag, though.

Chelsea have completed the double signing of Sporting midfielders Geovany Quenda and Dario Essugo for a combined fee of around £62.4m, the Portuguese club have said.
Winger Quenda, 17, will join Chelsea for a fee of up to £44m according to an announcement on the Sporting website, external, but will remain in Lisbon until the end of the 2025-26 season.
The teenager has broken into Sporting's first team this season and made his Champions League debut in September.
Essugo, a 20-year-old defensive midfielder, will move to Stamford Bridge in the summer following a loan spell at Las Palmas. Sporting announced his transfer fee as £18.4m.
£44m on a 17 year old. Woof.
If we just keep on signing African children out of other people's academies for huge money, eventually it'll pay off.
Owning two of the most promising wingers in football just to bring back Sterling next year and fail to sell him![]()
It's more of a throwback to the slave trade, really.
O'Brien surely deserved a start tonight. Anything is better than Doherty not giving a fuck for 90 minutes.
The fact Scotland still pick Craig Gordon is utterly embarrassing
Well, I tried. 5 minutes of Clarkeball was quite enough for me. Fuck that.
What even are these games?
Nations League promotion/relegation playoffs. Except England's, those are World Cup qualifiers.
I thought doing a Giggles was setting fire to an immigrant?
Never doubted the Doc![]()
I’ve been watching five minutes and, despite the suspect line up, we’ve already shown more intensity than the entire Southgate era. Whether that will actually translate to any trophies remains to be seen but it’s at least refreshing.
*checks match stats*
Inside Tommy Tuchel's head now, 1-0 up everything seems to be going OK, but his vision is blurring, his mouth is dry, he's nauseous... what is it? The drums, the trombone, the Great Escape... the horror... the horror.
The England band strike up We're on the ball
Dan Burn could conceivably be playing at a World Cup next year. Thrilled. Although it looks like Anthony Gordon may have died.
Relegation six pointer in the Isthmian South Central today as the Green Lions of Guernsey travel to the posh bit of Redhill, branding itself Reigate, to take on South Park.
Do they still do that non-league weekend thing during international breaks?
I think so. Gateshead play host to Tamworth. We're still in a play-off spot but it doesn't look as guaranteed as it once was. We really miss Iron Mike Williamson.
I've just registered my interest for next weekend's Carabao Cup celebration. Doesn't sound like there's a traditional bus parade and instead an 8 hour festival on the Town Moor. I'm not holding out hope for a slot unless the event spills out onto the golf course.
Can Gateshead actually get promoted this year then Shinners?
I assume the technicality that shafted them last year has been worked out with the council. We've not been great under Carl Magnay but not bad enough to see him dropped. I don't think we have the form to sneak through the playoffs.
Lost 3-2 in the 99th minute.
I reckon they must have lost [or dropped points in] at least half a dozen games in added time this season.
2-0 defeat. Gateshead's 5th defeat in a row. Get Williamson (sacked by Carlisle in February) or Elliot (sacked by Crawley yesterday) in IMMEDIATELY.
4 points off you with a game in hand.![]()

And Phonics feels that refs are against Arsenal.
Only 5 posts on here regarding the England game last night. Says a lot about the lack of interest considering it was Tuchel's first game.
