Just watched it back - slightly loses his footing as he is about to head it - still a big miss though 

Plus I think he's trying to place it just in the corner, which is totally the wrong thing to do, just needs to concentrate on heading it as centrally as possible

Fortunately it wasn't a costly miss

Quietly put in his best performance in a long while. He did it without being overly emotional as well. 

 

 

 

Well he did have a moment when Caicedo fouled him, looked like he was close to losing it but Trippier and Schar combined to calm him down

5 goals and 5 assists now?

2 of those assists were penalties won so whilst FPL count it, other sites such as opta don't

In such a dominant performance there are a number of players that are contenders for man of the match but for me he really did stand out, he ran the show in the middle of the park

He was brilliant, so excited to see how far he can really go

He's blessed to be coming in to the team at this stage, he has the ideal manager to help develop his game

That assist of his, most players, especially very inexperienced players take the shot as that is the seemingly obvious thing to do, it takes a really quality player to not only see that pass but execute it perfectly

Criticised Lascelles as he made a mistake in the first half and then messed up early in the 2nd but fair play to him, he was quality after that

And more than made up with his goal

Still think he needs to realise his limitations and play with that in mind 

Lascelles really highlighting how badly we need Botman back

Still? 

Yep, unfortunately still

Knew this was coming 

They'll go on to win this 

Alisson gets away with that, don't think it's a foul

City not taking advantage and scoring a second

Liverpool equaliser will be coming soon

Still? 

Errr, less convinced but still see them scoring 

If they get the next goal I still fancy them to go on and win it

Obviously hope I'm wrong 

Howler from Alisson

TAA has defended really well against Doku

I reckon Liverpool win this

Cheers, I heard it as being limitless. 

Your post prompted me to have a look further into it, this link gives a bit more detail on it

The following pretty much confirms it is limitless if a wealthy owner wants to pump money in.

Did I hear right that he also said owners could put in as much as they want at the beginning of the season so clubs knew what they had to spend? 

He said if based on the previous seasons revenue there is a shortfall of cash owners have to put in the money there and then to show they can afford to sign players otherwise they will be stopped

Now I don't know if that means there is no limit as to what they can spend or whether they have a limit but they still need to put the funds in at the start of the season 

I suppose his main point was, that the funding needs to be there to buy the players, I presume that is instead of relying on credit etc

It wasn't the PL that speculated on "X's" ? value and the amount they could've reclaimed. It was Everton

 

 

Everton WERE in dialogue with the PL over the whole time frame and fully conversant with the demands/expectations required of them. They chose to ignore. 

I am aware of Everton, they knew they were going to be running close so were in dialogue, I am saying all clubs should be in a constant dialogue with live accounting reporting, so it doesn't require self reporting and there are no shocks

I'm not particularly debating their guilt as such, they've admitted a certain amount of wrongdoing.

 

It's more the lack of rules and procedures in place that allows the Premier League to make precedents up on the fly, however and whenever it pleases.

Tbf the Premier League (the independent panel) are in a very difficult position when it comes to punishments, they are probably going to get criticised whatever the outcome

If it was 3 points the clubs around them kick off, if it's 9 like it is then those that want to see City/Chelsea punished feel it's harsh

This isn't a situation where you can easily assign an outcome, saying for example for every £5m loss over the limit = 2 points, that just wouldn't work or be viable

Listening to Neville on the overlap, the one thing he said I really agree with is life reporting, clubs should be able to at the end of the season know where they are at and what they can spend coming up

Half their mitigation is Covid as if they were the only club that went through that. Some is legitimate and maybe that's why it's 10 points not the recommended 12. The thing is if any club ever breaches the losses rules something has gone wrong and there will always be mitigating circumstances. They spent way more than they made, they got punished. What is opaque about that? You start letting clubs off because waaah waaah this went wrong and that (they already made accomodations to all clubs due to Covid) then the rules become meaningless. 

Plus to add to it they have been in communication with the Premier League throughout, they were repeatedly told they needed to get their finances in order but they continued spending and ultimately being reckless has come back to bite them

It seems that some people are also saying the loss is only £19m, it's actually way more than that but the mitigating factors (such as Covid) reduced it but they were still over the limit

Part of their mitigation is that Spurs knew they were in financial trouble so drove a hard bargain and got Richarlison for £20m less than his value of "£80m", which is utterly ludicrous

I don't care for FFP/PSR but if the rules are in place then they need to be followed and Everton failed to do so despite repeated warnings

The Everton ownership/management only have themselves to blame but I do have sympathy for the fans and also can understand the fans feel hard done by as they are the first club to be done for breaching these rules but someone has to be the first

He's not only a shit manager and a shit person, he's an absolute liar.

He was sacked 2 years ago so he didn't have Sean almost 5 years ago.

He had him 4 years ago and had him for 2 years and did nowt to help him.

The waste of space can't even make the connection that Longstaff was good before him and has been good after him.

No idea where he's made these comments but it's frustrating that no one challenges him on it.

"Proper football"

 

Is that when they were the richest club in the country thanks to the Moores?

Don't you know old money is not evil, only new money

Reading them talk about the EFL being proper football and not ruined by money, they have absolute zero awareness of the role their club (along with Man-U, Arsenal, Spurs and Everton) played in breaking away from the football league because of greed

I have no desire to sign up to RAWK but someone needs to educate them on their history

Ruben Neves himself has literally just done an interview where he's stated in no uncertain terms that he's more than happy where he is.

 

Hasn't he?

In that case we won't be signing him

Not sure why anyone would be bothered if we loan a player from a Saudi club. If it happens it will be because both the club and player want it to happen

Vast majority of those when they are desperate to get rid of a player(Cancelo/Lukaku) or need them off the books. Not when they only signed a few months ago and cos the same people own the two clubs involved

Who is to say Neves isn't unsettled and wants to come back to the Premier League?

Obviously you know more than Sky on that one

I stand corrected on that one but point still remains, it's not uncommon and it's not against the rules
