No, it shouldn't. Spurs and Liverpool rightfully dumped both of those teams out.

Unfortunately they were both absolutely shit against each other...

 

Happy for Henderson - he has written himself into the LFC history books now; the hate he used to get from everyone was undeserved. Great player but more importantly a great captain (Should have been England captain over Kane imo).

 

Ryan O’Hanlon made a good point on Alisson MOTM. There wasn’t a shot in target until the 70 minute mark. But yeah dude won’t it for Liverpool.

 

saw them tweeted about from the Get French Football News account, need to look into them a little closer to be fair, what do you make of it all? ive heard he's released some texts messages or something, but like I said I haven't *really* looked into them

 

Still can’t believe the penalty call. I hate it. It changed the whole dynamic of the game. But time to move on from it. Bad calls happen.

Really hated Poch getting more questions about what his plans are. It’s bad enough that it happens every time he’s in front of a microphone but after losing the biggest game of his career it was lame. Only manager in the world that gets asked if he’s leaving every week.

 

Yes the penalty call sucked but it has been consistent with what has been called in UCL with VAR.

 

Rabiot to United picking up steam

 

I’m kinda worried about de Ligt. He’s obviously a great talent. But he’s also 19 years old. He’s going to be forced into a very tough role at a huge club.

Ajax had a superb run in CL but it wasn’t their defense that got them there. And he made a couple mistakes that facilitated Tottenham’s miracle comeback. I feel like we’ve seen how this plays out before.

 

I mean, for argument's sake De Ligt is better now than Vertonghen, Alderweireld and Sanchez were when they left the club. Whoever buys him is getting a potential Van Dijk, and all evidence points towards him fulfilling that potential - his mentality is ridiculously strong so he will be able to handle the pressure wherever he goes so there will be no worries beyond what is normal for any new signing.

 

Di Marzio says Juve are working to bring Pogba back

 

He also said they're struggling to sign Milinkovic Savic. Offering €60m, Lazio want €90m. They won't stump up the cash for Pogba.

 

Oh yeah De Gea is off.

 

Every club wants 90m for their players. It’s insanity.

 

what do you think United will want for Pogba? Knowing Juve they’ll try to lowball or use players in the deal

 

150 I'd say. 3 years left on the contract. No real need to sell.

I assume it's just Raiola doing Raiola things though.

 

Luka Jovic to Real Madrid completed today, 60million fee. Insanely talented striker; him and Hazard together will tear La Liga to pieces next season!

 

Courtois
Carvajal - Varane - Militao - Mendy
Casemiro
Kroos - Isco
Asensio - Jovic - Hazard

That’s a good XI they’ve set themselves up with for the future. Impressive that they’ve replaced Benzema, Ramos, and Marcelo all while they’re still at the club.

 

Latest reports saying N’Dombele and Lo Celso are both pushing for a move to Spurs and the only thing holding back a deal is the Levy negotiation tactics. Please don’t fuck this up dude.

It also looks like RM has cooled their interest in Eriksen while Poch has apparently said he wants Eriksen to stay (I think that’s obvious it’s a matter of paying him what he wants). Same goes for Toby. Everything he says leads me to believe he wants to stay. But he wants his money too. We’ll see what happens.

N’Dombele - Winks
Lo Celso - Eriksen - Dele/Son
Kane

Pipe dream.

 

Militao is a right back, no? Not sold on that defence as a whole to be honest.

 

This U20 WC game is hard to watch

 

Whoa USA just went up 3-2 on France

 

Come on young fellas lets pull this out!!!

 

Big win for the Baby Yanks.

 

I watched a video of his when we were linked along with Madrid during the January window, and he plays CB but can do a bit of RB and CDM.

 

Vesey a few years ago. He was coming out of college, but still.
