Team - Arsenal
-Pep is a better manager than Arteta.
-City has a lot more "Elite" players, our squad is still relatively young. They also have more depth and a manager who is willing to use said depth. Our best players are arguably not in their prime years yet.
-City has has been a far more stable club with more investment this last decade wheras we've only gotten significant investment the last 5 years or so and were in a very bad state backroom wise when Wenger left.
-City has arguably the best striker ITW who guarantees an insane number of goals. We don't have a 20 goal a season output in the team.
-City is far far better at selling players and are better at recruiting players. This probably doesn't have much effect short term but long term I don't think we can keep dropping £150m+ every transfer window while selling nobody.
-City have also potentially just cheated depending on the result of the 115 charges thing.
Team - Liverpool
Predicted lineup for today's game:
A.Becker
Alexander-Arnold - Konate - Virgil - Robertson
Elliott - Endo - Mac Allister
M.Salah - Gakpo - Luis Diaz
Bench: Kelleher, Gomez, Thiago, Szoboszlai, Darwin, Jones, Diogo J., Gravenberch, Quansah
Manager for one last time: Jurgen Klopp :')
Team - Liverpool
Best Klopp stats:
Klopp has given first-team debuts to 90 players during his time at Anfield – the first was Connor Randall in 2015, and the last Mateusz Musialowski in 2024.
The German has used 120 different players in all competitions, from a total of 33 nations – the individual with the most appearances under him is Roberto Firmino (355).
Klopp has been responsible for three of Liverpool’s four highest-ever league points totals, which includes the record tally of 99 in 2019/20.
Liverpool’s seven youngest starting XIs ever selected have all been under Klopp. The youngest was for the FA Cup tie with Shrewsbury in February 2020, at just 19 years and 102 days.
Klopp has faced 75 different opponents during his time at Anfield, only failing to defeat Real Madrid, Sion and Sevilla.
He will leave his role as Liverpool manager without any team doing the double over him in the Premier League.
Player - Emiliano Martínez
This man is not leaving France alive 😭
Team - Liverpool
Injuries, declining players, and poor squad-planning ruined the 2020/2021, and 2022/2023 seasons. Klopp overachieved with his squads every season, including this season. 2018-2020 was peak Liverpool under Klopp, but 2021/2022 was also a successful season.
Team - Liverpool
Giving up was never an option. 21 points to fight for and the only thing that separates us from top is GD. Been here before, it never ended well for us, but what would be the point if we didn't believe? Football is a game where any result is possible and nothing is guaranteed, you go into a game as favorite and can lose. April is a long month, European competitions midweek, postponed games from the past, difficult away trips for each club. The squad have to stick together more than before and fight for everything at stake. Alisson, Trent and Jota returning will be a massive boost. Each game at a time

Gomez should take personal offense to the fact Robbo has scored more goals than him. Robbo genuinely has some of the worst finishing I’ve seen, even for a fullback.
Team - Liverpool
About fucking time. Thought this game was bound for penalties because we were showing nothing. Thank you, Harvey, for being our only player that wants to shoot the ball.
Team - Liverpool
Gakpo comes on, and one second later I wish we never put him on. Absolutely dreadful.
Team - Liverpool
Teams rarely put men on the posts nowadays. The goal came from a smart play from City, and a complete lack of concentration on defense.

Beside scoring I find nothing exciting about his game, Mbappe is better also

Neves: "I want to be here (Wolves), but I don’t hide that I want to play Champions League football. Sometimes in football you have to go for your main goals."
Also Neves: Joins Al-Hilal. Retires at 26.
First quote was less than a month ago.
My biggest gripe with these footballers isn't even the greed. It's the dishonesty. They're always trying to pretend it's about something else. If one of them said "yeah I'm doing it solely for the money" I'd actually respect that more. Instead we have to put up with the "this is a great league, an exciting opportunity to inspire Saudi kids" blah blah.
Money.

I cannot begin to describe how good players like McManaman, Fowler and Owen were in the mid to late 1990's, especially Fowler. If we had a better goalkeeper than David "Calamity" James and better defenders than Julian Dicks and Neil "Razor" Ruddock in that period we'd have won at least 1 league title during that era.

I feel like she was the right person for me, but the circumstances where not what I wanted (not a very close family and different friends for example) There are a lot of details ofcourse, but I just didn't think that those things will work out good for me/us in the future (since I'm only 20)
Team - Liverpool
Merry Christmas!
Salah was poor for most of the game and made many stupid decisions in crucial moments. However, despite his underwhelming games of late, he still puts up the numbers like no other. I do worry for this team without him. We will have to make do with our current options and hope they click. Elliott should be guaranteed to start on the right, after his recent performances.
Team - Liverpool
Mickey mouse mount in his place, can't be that much of an improvement
Team - Liverpool
6 i think we've been a bit lucky so far this season that his big misses haven't cost us but he's not alone Salah has also missed alot of chances. And we've been able to find goals else where.

Well, Santos being relegated is only the second biggest upset of the season. Brazilian league has been pure madness (as always) and it was probably the greatest season in the league history in terms of drama, balance and stories... Botafogo losing the title after being 13 points ahead and A LOT of unbelievable comebacks was unprecedent, and I highly recommend not only to you, but anyone who loves football, to check it out.
But speaking about Santos... they were fighting against relegation in the past 3 seasons, so it was not a big surprise when it happened. Just like the fight for the title, the relegation battle was absolutely stacked, and in the last round we had Santos, Vasco and Bahia in the danger zone. Santos was BY FAR the least likely out of the three to get relegated in this last match, as they were against the easier opponent and ahead of the other teams, which means that only some combinations of results would relegate them. As all the games happens at the same time, the relegation spot changed 8 times during the long 90 minutes, and ended up in Santos earning their first relegation in history.
Player - João Félix
They're different tho. Rashford only has strokes of form because he's an incomplete player, great athletically and has some of and eye for goal, but yet still fails in the most basic aspects. Meanwhile Felix knows how to actually play football, he just doesn't have the energy and that IT factor to be one of the very best
Team - Liverpool
To no longer have chances ?
Team - Liverpool
Definitely not midfield isn't winning any duels again ffs its so frustrating
Team - Liverpool
Leno wasted the first 10 minutes so really only missed 14.
Player - João Félix
I honestly feel that title should go to rodrygo. For a few weeks you think he is ballondor top 20-30 level and then disappear (maybe due to playing on right or as a cf)
Team - Liverpool
Not losing at Etihad is a big result, no matter what. It will be massive in perspective, now we are done with this game, time to focus on UEL on Thursday and then we have a relatively easy schedule. See them at Anfield in March
Team - Liverpool
Probably the worst thing we could do is overthink and use some sort of formations to annihilate City. We are 2 teams on par, we have to be brave and go there and do our game, the one we're used to. Trent on the left? Never going to happen
Team - Liverpool
Yes but as far as individual skills Darwin is far superior. But for now I can understand putting him above.

South America is bigger than Europe. It's like saying that Europe is insecure because there is a war in Ukraine

It's kind of funny to see Europeans complaining that Saudi Arabia has been taking their players while they've been doing the same to Latin American and African players.
Do you really think that an Argentine, Brazilian or any other country would want to play in the Premier League, La Liga, Ligue 1 if our currency was strong? Of course not. Our great players would certainly be playing for River Plate, Boca Juniors, Flamengo, Corinthians, Palmeiras, Vasco... as it was decades ago.
Unfortunately football is business. Whoever pays the most takes the players. That simple.

When he came through the youth ranks of River I thought he was the most talented player I ever seen. In fact in River Palacios is way more than Enzo, ofc that's due to Enzo playing way less time and Palacios being one of the best players of the 2018 copa Libertadores winning side against Boca

I personally would we have plenty of forwards who can play on the left or through the centre though i wouldn't want a swap deal i rather they pay the money and we use it to buy another forward.
