I completely forgot about that.

I know but Rafa has been consistent with this, he would prefer picking players who have been training all week with the team rather than better players who have been away with their countries.

International football stuff, Rafa seems to hate using players who have been playing for their country. Only Yedlin is playing.

Those are wrong.

Haven't listened to pre and post match coverage in years, those who do are fucking insane.

Portugal are more technical than France thus point stands

Doubt it.

This isn't surprising at all, Rafa never plays a lot players coming off an international break.

Nah he's ass, should be remembered that Valencia team was horrible and he was a huge part of that team being terrible. Only thing he's good at is driving into open space as he's quite big for a CM, he's basically the Portuguese Sissoko. When he leaves Barca he'll probably never be heard from again.

That doesn't mean Klopp was being negative though tbf, I'd argue Guardiola employed a similar strategy to limit Chelsea's counters. Only difference being City actually scored.

Imagine we win

Best midfielder in the league and it's not close.

Some people do that? Aye unfortunately.

No where near as annoying as people who aren't italian calling the transfer market "Mercato". Such people need to die in a fire IMO.

:lol:

Good, i strangely feel more confident about a win than i would if Palace got smashed again.

They finished 6th last year after spending obscene amounts on Pogba etc etc, imagine if Pochettino, Guardiola, Conte, Klopp etc etc finished 6th with the same group of players. There would be demands of sack him, the double standards are quite funny tbh.

Was always bollocks anyway, when ever there's an outstanding team in the PL it happens here too. I recall Ancelotti's Chelsea scoring like that consistently. It just so happens Madrid and Barca have kept their level up for longer.

Would be an honor tbh.

Still playing left back?

Masterstroke tbh.

Jesus christ.

Because it was completely accidental, Shelvey was rightly panned for it because his intentions were blatant. The two incidents are worlds apart in their intent.

Thought City were playing Spurs? not sure why i thought that
