Van Dijk and almost all of Liverpool's other big money signings in the Klopp era were signed at 23-26 years of age, and until he had a team challenging for titles and reaching CL finals most of them also had PL experience. I don't think the success of Liverpool's recruitment strategy of the...

Isn't it still very close between England and Germany for 2nd place?

Spent nearly £100 million net last summer and are on course to finish with 17 fewer points than last season.

In the last 20 seasons (including this one) the 3rd placed team after 28 matches has been within 10 points behind the leader 9 times, within 6 points behind the leader 5 times, and within 4 points behind the leader 3 times. In the 13/14 season the 4th placed team after 28 matches was only 4...

1. Kick both teams out of the FA Cup this season 2. Give whoever draws them in the next round this season a bye 3. Make both teams play their next two FA cup games without fans (no crowd if drawn at home, no away ticket allocation if drawn away)

2026 WC qualifiers start in march of 2025. I bet he takes a few months off after Liverpool's season is over and is announced as new Germany head coach in late 2024.

That one was a full yard offside though.
