Predictions?
Predictions?
Should be a good game. Good test to see where Arsenal are. Still predicting Liverpool to win it.I just found out that the game is tomorrow. First game of the new season then!

National games next week.Why’s it being played so early, they’ve only had two weeks prep?
Because of the Nations League next weekend and then the PL kicks off the weekend after. There's no other sensible time to have it.Why’s it being played so early, they’ve only had two weeks prep?
Came out about a week agoHave they released the new season's fixture list yet?
Nations league should be scrapped. Does anyone really careBecause of the Nations League next weekend and then the PL kicks off the weekend after. There's no other sensible time to have it.

I don't think any fan does, but the people with the money do.Nations league should be scrapped. Does anyone really care
I find it very strange that it’s going ahead. There’s no need for it, we should be minimising travel, and we should be looking to remove games so that players have more rest.Nations league should be scrapped. Does anyone really care
This season's going to be a shitshow, will be really interesting to see how it goes from a fitness perspective. Would love if they slashed the games down to 70% of a normal season but sadly wouldn't happen over the money involvedBecause of the Nations League next weekend and then the PL kicks off the weekend after. There's no other sensible time to have it.

This should have been first on the list to have been cancelled.
I’m not sure there’s any need to the Charity Shield either.
The group's winners will receive the exact same sum. When it comes to the biggest prizes on offer, the overall winners of the Nations League will pocket €6 million while the runners-up will get €4.5 million. Third place will receive €3.5 million while fourth will win €2.5 million.
Ah good point, should have scrapped it this year as it’s probably going to be third team playing for both isn’t it?Because of the Nations League next weekend and then the PL kicks off the weekend after. There's no other sensible time to have it.
Let’s be honest, those are pretty insignificant sums of money given the circumstances.££££££££
Nations League
You’re assuming the people at the top aren’t greedy as feck and want as much as they possibly can during this time which they definitely do. Anything that will let them line their pockets is good for them. They don’t care about the players.Let’s be honest, those are pretty insignificant sums of money given the circumstances.
I never understand these comments. If people had said then is 1930 (World Cup) or 1955 (Champions League) then we wouldn't have had so many amazing football memories. Prestige takes time. It's better than all the meaningless friendlies.Nations league should be scrapped. Does anyone really care
Without googling who won nations league last year and who were the semi finalists.I never understand these comments.

The Standard's predicted line-ups:Got a feeling Arsenal will win this. Might put money on it.
Thought Niles was leaving? The only Arsenal player I would take at Utd is Saka. Auby you could maybe argue a case for but the rest of them, jesus awful.The Standard's predicted line-ups:
Arsenal (3-4-3): Leno; Saliba, Holding, Tierney; Cedric, Elneny, Xhaka, Maitland-Niles; Saka, Nketiah, Aubameyang
Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Keita, Salah, Firmino, Mane
Looks like it should be very one-sided for Liverpool. But I'm with you, Arsenal at 4/1 (Betfair) is tempting. Be interesting to see which way the odds move this afternoon.
Nobody will ever see the Nations League as prestigious. It's just used as a way to spice up friendlies and give people better seeding in the Euros. It's nowhere near the prestige of the WC and CL.I never understand these comments.

Portugal. Can’t remember who they beat, but England certainly got to the semis.Without googling who won nations league last year and who were the semi finalists.
Oh god that Arsenal line up is horrible. Absolute carry job for Auba. Think I’ll keep my money in my pocket hahaThe Standard's predicted line-ups:

It’s more worthwhile than friendlies, was a positive introduction And far better than the meaningless friendlies we have seen over the past 20 years. However, given the circumstances, it’s surely bottom of the list of priorities.Portugal. Can’t remember who they beat, but England certainly got to the semis.
I think it’s definitely more worthwhile than loads of pointless friendlies, and the money involved is pretty insignificant. Still, given this season’s fixtures pileup, it seemed an obvious thing to cancel just this once.
Fair enough. Everyone is entitled to their view. I just find International football boring at the best of times, barring the major tournaments, plus with all the disruption across the footballing schedule recently, and I think it was not necessary to slot this in.Portugal. Can’t remember who they beat, but England certainly got to the semis.

Will all come down to whether Pool was able to regain their motivation again. I'm sure Klopp stressed the importance of starting off with a win here.The Standard's predicted line-ups:

Portugal Beat Netherlands in the final. England were in the Semis, I forgot who else. (I didn't google it today, although I did google it this week )Without googling who won nations league last year and who were the semi finalists.
My thoughts too.Will all come down to whether Pool was able to regain their motivation again. I'm sure Klopp stressed the importance of starting off with a win here.
That can't be judged now, it can only be judged with time. People say the same thing anything new comes.Nobody will ever see the Nations League as prestigious.

Does seem early doesn't it?!Why’s it being played so early, they’ve only had two weeks prep?
Anything is better than friendlies, that is true.I never understand these comments. If people had said then is 1930 (World Cup) or 1955 (Champions League) then we wouldn't have had so many amazing football memories. Prestige takes time. It's better than all the meaningless friendlies.
