We wanted Tuchel long term and to build something long term with him but stuff behind the scenes made that not possible, Tuchel seemed to focus on the short term which doesnt suit the new Board's planningQuote:

They thought Tuchel was very rude for not listening to the opinions of two business men who don't know shit about football and sacked him within a week.Quote:

Another title or 2 up north and the cries for Big Ange to Liverpool might be too loud to ignore.
Nunez is a dud and Klopps lack of plan B is being exposed way too often. Boards love Big Ange because he'll be relatively cheap, he'll buy into that YNWA bullshit and can build a squad on 1/4 of the spend.
Should have taken the Salah money when it was on offer. Letting Mane walk was his downfall.
Cant wait for the Craig Foster thinkpiece somehow making this all about himself and gypo Arnie.
**** Craig Foster.
Also, Stanny talking about a bunch of Americans having a long term plan.....by immediately poaching the hot young thing. Potter gonna pull their pants down, take the cash and get back to a club that understands him. Good on him having the gumption to put up with the Chelsea nonsense long enough to get the bank managers mobile number.
Cant wait til some dickhead advisor talks the yanks into appointing Big Sam or Roy Hodgson 3 days after Chealsea sack Potter for having the audacity to win them a trophy.
Also, Big Liz dropping off the perch has put my multis in a pickle. She really should have done all this on a cup weekend. Bit selfish if you ask me.

It's way more then that.Quote:

With the results this morning, I can only assume Conte has been sacked….
Good to get some points.
And thank fk for goal line technology. In real time it was hard to determine if it was in or out. I'm sure the haters will still say it didn't cross the line.
Thread will crack two hungie soon...
That game could have been anything.
1-0 city, 1-0 Liverpool, 5-5 draw.
Salah’s control from the keeper kick to get past Cancelo was :wub:
It seems like we have a lot of players desperate to get on the score sheet.
Thought Jota was excellent first half in his defensive efforts. He looked the main man.
Nunez should have had a goal. Or a few assists. Really feel for him. He’s trying. Doesn’t help when young carvalho blasts him for not passing to him, even though he was pretty well marked haha.
Little disappointed with Klopp. I enjoy his passion. But he deserved that today. Think he’s feeling a bit of pressure and in the context of the season, that was a big call, big game.
Watching live, I thought Haaland fouled Fabinho. There was no way he kicked it out from Alison’s grip, imo. but lucky there’s a clear replay showing Haaland grabbing the shirt and dragging down.
0' 25" Pep surrenders...
1' 09" Mo 'hits the target' :rof:
1' 45" Cancelo cam
1' 50" Pep cam
2' 13" see 1' 09" :rof: :rof:
3' 01" Kop cam

You just have to laugh sometimes.
Bit more excitement involved when the win isn’t guaranteed anymore.
Back the pre Klopp Liverpool, beat/draw with top 6 and drop points and lose to the bottom 10.
Bobby Firmino resurgence has been about the only positive this season.
And the hilarity of watching Nunez be so close but so far from scoring goals, even that’s making me laugh.
Seriously though, Henderson (Forrest keeper) and meslier both had one of their better games of their season against us.
Conversely, most of our players are in the worst form of the last 5 years.
I get the vibes during WC Klopp will walk. Can't see your ownership changing their methods and buying loads of new top players
I don’t know if we need loads of new players, but we need something.
We’ve had reasonable dept over the years with a few players in their prime, but those players seem to be on the other side of their prime now.
Matip out kind of shows how underrated he is. I think him and VVD are the best CB pairing we have atm. VVD is not as unbeatable as he has been. TAA’s defensive shortcoming are becoming more apparent now that he isn’t creating assists every game.
Our forwards injuries atm to Jota and Diaz are a worry. Otherwise we kind of have good depth here. All 5 are similar but different.
Biggest concern for me is our midfield. Henderson seems to be demoted to a bench role. Thiago has got another 5 games left before an injury gets him. Elliot and Jones should be only relied upon for late cameos with in form, experienced players around them instead of bearing responsibility. Fabinho playing his worst for a few years. And Keita, who?
Some reinforcements in the midfield would be appreciated. I’m not sure who. Rumour was that we’ve been holding out for Bellingham but he appears equally worried by our form and would prefer to join the city dynasty. Why wouldn’t you…
Im not really sure what the purpose or ideal players for our midfield are. If Klopp would prefer 2 defensive one attacking, 1 defensive 2 all rounders, or what we are going for.
Our best midfielder has been Firmino…
Honestly if Curtis Jones wasnt scouse he would be playing in the Championship by now. He is awful.
Queeve... :wub:
Was nice while it lasted.
Got a team that looks it achieved it’s goal, and now they are on coast mode.
I am enjoying a more unpredictable EPL season though.
And FMD, it’s almost hilarious watching Nunez try and score. Bloke could have as many as Haaland if he could get a few of his shots on target. Credit, he’s getting in good positions but the finishing he showed against us in UCL last season was a 10/10 and we are getting 3/10 atm.
Nice finishes this morning.
Certainly been lacking of late.
Salah the all time highest Livepool goal scorer now and the most by a 'pool player in the Prem v United - 10, 2 more than Gerrard.
What a game!
I love it when 'duds' score...winners!
