I see your point. Over the semi finals, I thought he was better than most of hos time at United, but it’s not far off. First half in Dortmund, he was erratic, lost the ball a lot and couldn’t forward play. Second half everything he did came through, and had he been a bit more incisive, he would...

I loved Fred and he got on my nerves. Such a lovable and feisty character, and when his passing was in a flow, he looked suddenly world class. Unfortunately, his passing was never in a flow for more than the odd game, and when he had his much more frequent off games or periods, passes could, and...

Maybe you have a too specific idea of what a potential top striker could look like? For most games, Højlund has done a very good job for his age in receiving the ball, retaining it, finding team mates on forward runs. His finishing has been very high class. I struggle to see other players of...

Best 11 from the Borussia-PSG exchange: Kobel Ryerson Hummels Schlotterbeck Mendes Sancho Vitinho Sabitzer Brandt Adeyemi Mbappe

Joey plays, or Stevie swims with the fishes.

I agree that the buck stopped with Murtaugh on that count, yeah, even if it is the making of the Glazers.

Well, it’s still a very strong Liverpool, much better than us the last few years, and much better than us this season, and have humiliated us 5-0, 4-0 and 7-0 quite recently - so I’ll take it and enjoy it if you don’t mind!

Hehe. He’ll go into next season with the number ‘21’ and ‘The Perfect Vessel’ on his back. That will turn the sceptics around, you’ll see.

Well it reads less black and white when you detract ‘many’ from posters and replace ‘terrible’ with ‘average’ to be sure. Of course you and I can only speculate to which degree a signing is forwarded by Ten Hag, by Murtaugh, by head of recruitment or by ohers in the recruitment set up. Normally...

Tbf this is partly oversimplified and partly untrue. Untrue: There were not ‘many’ Ajax fans that said TH was ‘terrible’ at signing players. Neither did anyone say that Overmars ‘created the successful team/style of play’. Closer to the truth is that ‘some’ Ajax followers said TH weren’t ‘in...

You might be right about what Radcliffe et al. want, but if noone wants to pay that, do you expect us to keep all of Maguire, Casemiro, McTominay, Sancho and Greenwood at the club or loned out next season? I wouldn’t be shocked, tbh, but I don’t think it’s a good idea.

Or can they just give Uli and Rummenigge the manager job and a bigger microphone?

In the same universe where a German manager would decline Bayern top job to stay NT coach for Austria.

You can pedal a bike, and peddle a myth. But can you pedal a mythological bike? And is Antony such a vessel? Apart from that I agree with you.

That’s a description of Ten Hag, but not of Tuchel. Which others are there around?
