From first runner up to out of main draw. Hail Messi.

The one who is not allowed to take flight?

Found this interview with her from a few years ago. Gives some interesting insight https://business-reporter.co.uk/2014/12/08/the-big-interview-amanda-staveley/ Thanks mate. Basically if she is interested in us, it's because we have Rafa Benitez. She said she only acquires business with exceptional management. Hope this deal comes true. If we have an owner who trust Rafa, and all the fans are behind Rafa, we can't fail.

I know it is hard to be worse than the fat cunt, by does anyone know what she's like?

Somehow I feel that the gallowgate flag will play a strong factor in persuading Rafa to stay for next season.

His positioning is poor, and he didn't contribute much in attack, but his has pace to cover up his weaknesses. A decent backup for both flanks. Nothing more.

Instead of saying he played sloppy, I would say it's because he was pinpointed by Klopp. This is probably the first time in his career that he got "respect" like this from a top team, and I am sure he will learn a huge lot from it. Well done Mikel.

They look disjoint because they are not playing their game, full credit to Rafa.

The draw feels like a win.

The only way to stop is Shelvey not letting Coutinho to cut in - and it is definitely not Shelvey fault

Salah on the bench, Firmino Sturridge Mane Coutinho to start

As I said, the political problem played a part in Neymar saga, and it is realising.

The only plus I can think of is the fat cunt may speed up the process of selling the club.

RIP

I can't understand or imagine on what basis would Rafa extend his contract at this moment.

Yep. In fact in that distance, any shot would get in as long as it hits the target.

He earned enough credit for costing us 3 points. Let it go.

My Liverpool mate is saying the transfer fee is too expensive for someone who only plays 19 league game per season.

My view is it is easy to do something you are good at already, and easier to continue improving that department, but your ceiling would be lower and you will become a very limited footballer. What I see is Perez is trying his f***ing best to develop in his all round game, which is a much harder route but with much higher ceiling. It's very hard to learn something you ain't good at, and it takes time. Rashford is similar. Every Man Utd fans would tell you Rashford was s*** last year and always try something he isn't good at, and some even question Mourinho why persisting to play Rashford. What we see this season is the answer, isn't it? I am not saying you are wrong, I just think the final answer is yet to be known, and I hope people appreciate Perezs hard work and ambition behind. It really, really takes a lot to make such a change.

This is not worth the strength though. He relied on having quick feet to beat people, he looks too heavy and cumbersome now. That is clearly not his natural weight. I don't think a ten needs to be physical, he's heading backwards. He was far better off at his original weight. Managers getting players to "bulk up" is one my pet hates in football I think we have to observe more. Perez changed a huge lot during 1 year time and there is chance that he didn't lost it but just adapting and trying something else. A counter argument is that by having such tiny quick feet you are in fact harder to generate power on your foot and that's why Perez always end up weak as piss shot that offers no real threat to opponents. His change in direction is obviously Rafa idea/order, and this actually explains why Perez was missing a lot last season - he was focusing on increasing his strength and changing his game. Do you trust Rafa then? And re the quick feet - that's also one of the reason why Messi is ridiculous. No one can generate such power like him despite dribbling like that.

Perez is a very interesting case. In a way, he disappointed lots of people here as we all believed that he has huge talent and should improve significantly by time, which was not the case on the pitch. That's one of the reason why he has played so many games and still learning his trade - sometimes great, sometimes frustrating, lots of ups and downs. He is still far from the finished article. However, what people ignored, or only very few mentioned, is the direction he is heading to. In the past he was extremely weak, great technique and vision and unable to hold up the ball, doesn't have the power to strike the ball, and mainly takes on the defender when he is fully accelerated and use his quick feet to get pass the defender. He didn't have enough stamina to sustain 90 mins. He always get muscled out. He is so weak that he always get into good position but unable to materialise. What he is doing now is completely different. He is strong enough to hold off lots of the challenges. He has enough stamina to run for 90 mins. His strike power has improved massively. And he doesn't seem to get slower too - the turn he did yesterday is pure class, great first touch, quick turn, great acceleration to take on the defender, and poor final execution. We don't have any player who can do this, not even Merino or Atsu, in the middle of the pitch. The only draw back I noticed is just his quick feet seems to become slower than before. Yes, ultimately it's the final ball that matters most, and Perez is still very frustrating in this area. However you shouldn't ignore the improvements he makes on other areas. Not every player, especially technique based, can changed and developed his body like what Perez did, and this allows Perez to be able to do a lot of stuff that normal players are unable to do even in EPL. That's what we have invested, and Perez obviously is heading to the right direction. We just need to, and we have to be patient. A classy no.10 is coming from our own hands, and we witnessing the process.

He gives a lot defensively, don't go over the top. We never got exposed in the middle thanks to Hayden and Merino.

I don't mind trying Shelvey and Merino next game. We are likely to lose anyway, why not give it a try?

Joselu finishing is a serious problem now.

Poor effort
