I praised Southgate for the ballsy move of not taking Grealish but if we just play recycle possession then why leave him out when that’s all he’s done all year? And I don’t actually think I’ve seen Foden play well in an England shirt

Not sure how we could do much better than Rodrygo, lol.

More proof he's been robbed of a call up, link up play is as good as Toney. Only thing Toney has on him is penalties and even then Solanke is pretty consistent, Bournemouth just rarely get penalties. I know he missed against Sheff U, but that's the only pen he's missed for Bournemouth.

This is the second time they've been accused of this, the first time around the case was completely dismissed.

It's a particularly low blow from their billionaire owners. As I said above it's not counted as FFP/PSR but the community programmes include everything from assisting local charities, local food banks, local hospital/nursing home visits to engagements with local businesses, schools and other social outlets. There's no justification for cutting that funding and harming communities and literally their own local fans.

lmao they already embraced it is "us versus them", good vs evil battle💀

This is the football equivalent of cheering on Jeffery Epstein's lawyer..........

Can the whole PL vote to send City to Saudi, they are perfect for that league.

go ahead and join the super league it is full of cheats anyway. I can't remember but wasn't Real Madrid, Juve, and Barca that were left? Juve have been proven to cheat, Barca got charged for paying refs, we all know Real Madrid have done shady things in relation to refs, and city have 115 charges. Seems to me a league ruled by corruption. Who would want to join that?

I'd like to hear their argumentation how City not being able to spend 60+ million euros for defender each transfer window hampers their options for community programmes.

The ridiculous part of that is that youth development, the women's team and community programmes don't count towards the PSR/FFP rules.

It'll be unpopular with fans but if you listen to any of the players, especially other goalkeepers, he's considered to be a very important member of the squad from an experience and guidance POV. It's like how all the Liverpool staff and players still talk about the importance of players like Milner and Lallana had to the group despite not being regular players. Musialowski & Frauendorf are the most disappointing tbh, had great hopes for both of them, hopefully they make it somewhere else.

"[City] are understood to be asking for financial damages from the league for perceived losses from sponsorship deals that were halted by the rules." "In another claim forming part of the suit, City are taking aim at the league’s voting rules. The requirement that 14 of 20 clubs must vote in favour of any proposal in order for it to be adopted has long been hailed as one of the competition’s strengths, meaning that clubs must align behind any change before it is implemented." According to the Times newspaper, however, City’s suit claims the voting system preserves “the tyranny of the majority”. They want to use the courts to effectively run the league for themselves. Totally disgusting team and ownership.

Do people not remember what it was like under Edwards? Transfers wouldn’t drop until like a picture of them holding a shirt surfaced. Of course it’s going to be quiet

Plenty of rumours around tbf, it's just that they're mostly awful rumours. The Euros & Copa America complicates any transfer tbf, but that doesn't mean we aren't working on transfers. Much to the upset of Liverpool twitter, there probably won't be a Slot interview or press conference until preseason starts.

yes. and it's strange to compare him to Mainoo. Mainoo plays more and more like an advanced 8. Adam is better defensively and plays deeper than Mainoo. They can complement each other quite well.

People desperate to compare him to Mainoo, what they should be thinking about is how good a partnership they would be. They're both class.

Spoken like a true idiot

"I know they don’t play the same position" - then you kind of invalidate your own point. He's not getting picked over Sancho and Tomori because he's white. He's getting picked ahead of Sancho and Tomori because he's a better defensive midfielder than Sancho and Tomori

"Wharton came on in the 62nd minute on Monday night to continue what has been a superb rise over the last six months. The midfielder moved to Selhurst Park in January as Palace pipped Chelsea to his signature. Wharton had shone for a disjointed Blackburn side and yet few could have predicted he'd make such a seamless adjustment when he made the leap from the Championship to the Premier League." "Whether he is ready for tournament football remains to be seen. Wharton's career is very much in its infancy and he'll have plenty of time to nail down a spot for the national team. Yet with questions over who'll play in midfield for England at the Euros... the Palace youngster might just be the answer..." [Whoscored]

These developments are in essence an admission that they are guilty of cheating and stealing titles from other teams. They have no lows they won't go to, now they want to counter sue. That club is rotten to the core.

They are truly the enemies of football.

Imagine winning 6/7 of the last Premier League titles and then having the audacity to claim that the rules they are operating under are unfair because they can't spend whatever they like. They have no shame and calling them rotten to the core is still, somehow, underselling it.

Well this is a deliberate move, calculated with some result in sight, so I don't think they are shitting themselves. I say they are using this legal challenge, regardless of the result, to help frame their response to the 115 charges in November.

Manchester City suing the Premier League because of associated party transaction (APT) rules is wild. Manchester City claiming that they are the victims of a campaign of discrimination is wild. Manchester City claiming that they should be allowed to self regulate their own financial incomings and outgoings is wild. Manchester City essentially starting a civil war within the Premier League against the tyranny of majority rules is wild. But don't forget.... They are totally innocent of all 115 charges and this story conveniently drops on the same day that a 6 week hearing is scheduled at the start of November 2024 into said 115 charges. Normal reaction, no distraction or diversion here, especially from a completely innocent Manchester City.

The day I see Man City dutifully punished will be a glorious day

https://x.com/PhilBlundell/status/1797999927668416638?t=8kIG7kfrkNAvgFT-2Ik-VA&s=19 why aren't you letting us cheat😡

https://x.com/Lawton_Times/status/1797998795084423191?t=IbIRNrGY2FBTXxqzsxyNow&s=19 this screams guilty. They need to get punished man i can't wait

“Unproven”, “can’t judge” Flop implies that they played and didn’t perform. How can you judge someone based on a factor that isn’t their fault/to do with their footballing abilities?

Boy oh boy where do I start. Going to ignore all the Liverpool players and educate you on the rest so you know it’s unbiased -Timber did his acl and played a grand total of 71 minutes. Flop is outrageous, especially considering arsenal fans rate him so highly. I’m presuming this is rage bait to rumble some arsenal fans -Caicedo had a slow start but picked up the second half and has actually been very solid -Nkunku, also injured. Hard to call him a flop when he hasn’t played. And when he has, he’s played well -Lavia, 33 minutes… -Amrabat in inconsistent is VILE. He has been awful all season. Maybe 1 or 2 good games but for the most part, awful. -onana didn’t have the greatest of starts but if you actually watched some football, you know he’s considerably picked up form in the second half of the season. Solid is far more fair, especially considering the next player I’m going to mention… -Gvardiol solid? He had a “solid” end to the season but for the first 30 games of the season, people were calling him flop of the season. He was very poor up until recently -Doku has not been a great signing. He’s a fantastic dribbler, that is true, but provides nothing else other than dribbling. Solid is the fairest category

Come to think of it he actually would be pretty decent in slots double pivot with alexis. Im all for it however i dont see it, only way we get him is by paying that 100mil release clause....

Not Sky. Sky are reporting some nonsense from the Mirror. Edwards tried to sell him years ago to replace Henderson. Lazy link.

Referees are horrible, and Vini is genuinely unbearable.

Bvb player gets booked for decent few moments later vini does the same thing no card...

Bro, Divingnicius is the only way they can win by yellow cards, are they scared?

That blatant dive in the var era and the bvb players still gets a yellow instead of a second yellow for vini

adeyemi bottled that ngl

Adeyemi and nunez here would probably be a death sentence for me. For the love of god keep him away

our fans drowning out the Madrid fans of course

Goodluck brothers, if anything we made it here!!

Very dumb move by Van den Berg taking that interview. He wasn't trusted back then because he's not good enough, that's the whole point of him being loan out, so he can improve Should have just waited and seen what would happen under Slot first. But with that interview, he might not even be in the pre season squad. And the club won't sell him cheap either

Greenwood hasn't redeemed himself. He hasn't publicly admitted and apologised for his actions, he paid off the victim's family to drop the charges, he never actually got proven in the court of law as innocent. Her going back to him and even having a child together means nothing, she's probably in the relationship purely for the money, its fucked up altogether.

Not a hope in hell Liverpool will sign Olise. Talented player but way too expensive for how Edwards & Co tend to operate (just get used to how it was 3-4 years ago), he's not that player like Van Dijk or Alisson that takes you to the next level. Crystal Palace will want £70m+ for him and the only teams that'll pay that amount of money for him would be United (Ratcliffe's pet project along with Branthwaite) or Chelsea. Also just as an aside, if Olise is over performing statistically now then you absolutely need to look at his numbers long term and how they breakdown season by season because typically over performance is unsustainable and can't be scaled upwards, whereas underperforming can be scaled upwards and improved upon, which is why Liverpool don't tend to sign attacking players that are over performing, different story for defenders/goalkeepers. There's other issues as well in terms of style and system structure between what Glasner does at Palace and what Slot will do at Liverpool that'll influence how effective a player like Olise is in each system and formation. Glasner puts little to no emphasis on Olise to defend, whereas we know that Slot will want his team to press, it's a small difference but it changes the types of opportunities that become available to each team/player which shows up in the data. Just don't be lulled into placing Olise on a pedestal.

I love him to bits, he is incredibly talented, one of the best players against Real three years ago already. But he is too injury prone and does not even fit us stylistically. 55 sounds kind of cheap to me but I'd, with a heavy heart, be willing to sell him too tbh But if he stays, I'll be happy too. He still can prove a lot, yeah he is not probably gonna be pinging balls 60 metres right into winger's feet, but he can develop as well. There were times he was already more than good enough to be a starter

Kelleher is as good as gone this summer. Feels like he's done his time as a No.2 and is ready to be a No.1. Wish him well wherever he ends up. https://x.com/reptracker/status/1795795389456552234?t=W6Bpb9sWYL19OTuR-_zKzQ&s=19

https://x.com/OnsOranje/status/1795809253485359529 i know who im rooting for these Euros, good balanced squad used to think their midfield was a massive weakness but they're looking good there now. An attack of gakpo-depay-simons sounds great as well. Hopefully Koeman can get the best out of them i think the national team is perfect for him. Maatsen and wieffer not going is bs though i have to say.

SIUUUUUU, we’re not selling him for pennies at least 😭😭🙏🙏 https://x.com/jamespearcelfc/status/1795401769150808105?s=46&t=aXhMh5rjASDK7esNe7FFLg

Great news.

If he's sold I'd say if we get between £15-20m for him we'll have done really well tbh, I think he'll get an opportunity in preseason though. I guess a few people owe Big Jorg Schmadtke an apology.

If Klopp were to be asked this he'd answer: "Another defensive midfielder? We have Wataru [Endo] who has been brilliant...absolutely brilliant and settled in so, so quickly. Then it's Stefan [Bajcetic] who was for so long on the sidelines and is hungrier than ever to play and help the team. Tyler [Morton] had a successful spell at Hull and will join the team at the end of his loan. So, now you tell me, where do we need another defensive midfielder? You just want this exclusiveness, but we do things in another way, we cannot go and just say 'Oh, we want this, we want that', it's just not how we do business".

Doesn't help when Pep Guardiola strips all personality and likeability from players either imho, for example Jack Grealish should be inventive and creative like he was at Villa but now he's a husk of his former self terrified of misplacing a pass or losing the ball, Haaland was a better player at Dortmund than he is at City. It's a soulless team and club and it's no wonder why so many local people and others abroad fail to connect with the team.

Because certain users on here suffer from Shiny New Toy Syndrome

Gerrard was well clear of Scholes mate. Mainoo will never reach that level

Saying that shows you know absolutely nothing about him. He's playing regular first team football with the team his Grandfather, Granduncle and Father have played for, a team he supports and a team he loves. Archie Gray has said that he wants to stay at Leeds United, he wants to see his younger brother, Harry Gray, break through and play in the first team with him. He's never ever expressed any desire to play anywhere else even when he has been asked directly about his future, so yeah I'd be fairly confident in saying that he's staying at Leeds. Why do you think he'd move to Liverpool?

I hate how good this Mainoo kid is…

Fa cup is the same as the carabao as far as i am concerned
