The more ways we have to play, the more flexible we can be, all the better. Hard to do without pretty major squad improvements and with Eddie quoted as saying without CL (or was it just Europe in general?), we "wouldn't have been able to do much". That is a somewhat scary thought because, as much as this 22/23 squad will live long in the memory and be cherished by all, without a decent amount of improvement, it's easy to see us ending up slightly stale next year. Long-winded way of saying "thank fuck we got CL".

Agree and think that was Liverpool's main mistake this year, they waited a year too long to replace the likes of Henderson. They'll be back next year, unfortunately. I am extremely curious in the tactical direction/evolution we take, and hugely excited to see how we improve the squad but more in the way we develop tactically and strategically, rather than the amount spent. We're in excellent hands.

100%. I think we'll really take one or two to the cleaners next season, I don't think too many teams play like us in world football and plus we're bound to evolve slightly anyway. So even if some coaches decide to pour over tapes of our play this year, it won't be the same by the time we play them. I think also Eddie is the obsessive type, the type to be a little stung by how Brighton worked us over in August and Villa late in the season and will not want that to happen again.

That was an excellent watch, Eddie is something else, something we've perhaps never had before. We really must be a nightmare to play against when we're on, even against the best prepared teams.

"As you can see, Arbroath in late summer is canny man"

Trust Man Utd to be the first to step in to bail them out, season over for 3 days Canny player mind

Like watching Gone of the Wind for the 40th time

Mourinho looks more like Pep's binman than a manager these days

More time spent on rolling around, play acting, gesticulating for cards etc than football played. Hopeless and aggravating 2 hours.

Can't say i'm looking forward to this level of play acting and general carry on next season like

Got me on Edge here

Rattle-tic

There's no shame in these players at all, blatant dive, spend 2 minutes in the refs face pleading innocence, fuck off man

Embarrassing from Pellegrini

In Hungary

Someone might pay Tielemans 200k p/w but it won't be us, thankfully.

Sure-fire giveaway there's nowt the matter at all. Embarrassing stuff.

Love it around 6:40 when Bruno wins a point and Sven says "quality" in that Dutch accent

Don't think i've ever seen Martial smile. It's like he's permanently depressed

We're not gonna do this all summer are we?

Church

Christ. Gotta love the handily placed Wonga signs outside for the players to see while getting their treatment.

Jokes about Shola aside, it's frightening watching that and imagining where the club would be now without the takeover.

I saw it but it lasted just a moment
