    I thought the same when I saw the headline, but the video makes it seem less bad. He is a bit of an autist though. Kind of a bit like Rishi in that he likes to try his hand at banter but he's really shit at it and it's a bit embarrassing.

    Although granted it is probably unfair to expect scintillating repartee in a second, third or whatever language.

    Tuchel getting his agent to big him up for the United job. Would any United fans actually make that swap?

    I know he's won the CL but his stock has never been lower for me. He's managed to fuck up two of the easiest jobs in football in what, 5 years? And that's with a Chelsea stint in-between.

    That would be mad, although he'll fancy himself to be in the mix if/when they make a shit start to next season.

    If all three teams mirrored thier earlier results against their remaining opponents the table would finish as follows.

    1. Arsenal - 84pts
    2. Liverpool - 83pts
    3. City - 82pts

    I just hope we don't need any attacking help off the bench. Much rather we're 3-0 up so we can get Jayden Danns on.

    Obligatory is that Neil Danns son question.

    Is Tsimikas actually fit or is he on the bench for lolz? Thought he was meant to be out for longer.

    Luton are the most open team in the league these days so you’ll score a few on the break with ease.

    It’s a shame Salah and Nunez will definitely start on Sunday as I’d have a wee bit of hope. But then I remember Thiago Silva is definitely getting thrown back in the side and I vomit a little

    Yes he is his son and Tsimikas came on in the last game.

    Talking like a house-flipper, which is ultimately what all modern club owners are.

    How he can suggest using taxpayers' money for it with a straight face I have no idea.

    I know they should have enough to get past Luton, but I'm not sure what Baz particularly sees in that Liverpool team.

    Dropping points twice against Luton would be something.

    Better silver lining Everton down if they do.

    Liverpool have a bit of a thing about hopeless promoted teams who play in orange.

    A bunch of players being a bit too selfish in the first half. Plenty of promising positions ruined by someone shooting instead of the better pass. Also a fair few players slipping and getting the ball stuck under feet. Maybe got the wrong studs in.

    Imagine my surprise at a team conceding 2 in quick succession to Liverpool. Every single time.

    God, I can’t wait for Klopp to fuck off.

    How many games have Liverpool been behind in this season? Feels like they must be getting close to some sort of record in terms of points after being behind.

    To sum this game up, a Porto player just threw out a throw in for a thowin without anyone touching the ball. I want to die of boredom.

    Arteta is the tit, not sure why he didn't make subs there. Yeah the bench isn't great but you at least have some fast fresh legs there to cause problems instead of letting gassed players on yellow cards stumble about.

    Are you mad? Aside from the lump up front and the seemingly literally disabled backup goalkeeper, there is no weak point. The backup players are good enough to walk into most sides outside the top three, never mind the first choices.

    I don't think this is just a Liverpool thing. I think the whole Academy system is such a conveyor belt of churning out the same type of player these days that having a Dad keeps you on that conveyer belt a little longer.

    I suppose the acid test, which will probably end up with some sort of gulf state funded stud farm with Lillian 'covering' famous lady footballers, will be if the Kennys manage to produce some sort of cycling god from their various offspring.

    Dani Alves has obviously jumped the gun on the concept though.

    I've always thought it's down to motivation and psychology. If the dad's too good, the kids end up as Kendall Roy / Jordi Cruyff. If the dad's there but never quite fulfilled his dreams, the kid inherits them and also has the best of everything to make a play of it.

    I do love that idea though. Let's kidnap the entire Lionesses and use them as brood mares. If that isn't female empowerment then what is?

    Is it not also due to the thing now where clubs are chucking contracts at players kids to sweeten deals so we are seeing a lot more come through? And you can be quite average in the modern game and retire comfortable enough to never work again if you are sensible with cash, where as even top players had to find jobs after football a generation ago.
