2019 EFL Cup FinalDidn't Jorginho miss a penalty against City in a penalty shootout? CC final I think.

I'm sure I remember LVG turning-down VVD as well. And of course Sir Alex with Henderson was in his book.We passed on Mane Thiago and Fabinho. And they are now starting for PL champions.
Never heard of that one. Scousers had a clear run at him and even got caught tapping him up. I did hear we were in for him at the last minute but his mind was already made up.I'm sure I remember LVG turning-down VVD as well. And of course Sir Alex with Henderson was in his book.

It was before he moved to Liverpool, and before their tapping-up became public; I think in LVG's first season maybe? Remember something about him preferring a player like Blind over VVD.Never heard of that one. Scousers had a clear run at him and even got caught tapping him up.

Have you been watching DDG last couple of seasons?
Honestly, I hate it. It's up there with the brainless sideways-passing-to-each other that defenders sometimes do, only for the keeper to hoof the ball forward.
A luxury player maybe? Someone who has flashes of brilliance but can be a passenger.Reminds me of Joao Felix, as in I have no idea what type of player he is.
They went out and got one of the best managers in the game. What followed was inevitable.It's going to take a small miracle for Liverpool not to win the league
Best Keeper in the league? Check
Best defence in the league? Check
Best midfield in the league? Thiago and Fabinho? Check
Best attack in the league? Check
How the feck has this happened
He's really being judged on today?Havertz is one in generation talent they said

His system is horrible. I hate any team that plays without pace and actual wingers of some description. They've got Ziyech and Pulisic so we'll see what they do when those are both available but this has been poor that. They relied on Warner for pace but you need more than one player with pace at this level.
Mount is horse shit too.
Wood gives Burnley the lead inside first ten minutes.
I think near enough everyone rated Mane, the issue was the left side of our attack was the only area we had any talent and cover with the likes of Martial and Rashford so it wasn't a priority to strenghten. We were crying out for a right winger and Mane was not that.Tbf the only time a lot of United fans would've watched Mane was when we played Southampton, and he was always poor against us. I've seen some of his good performances now pre-Liverpool and it's clear there was a top player in there, but just goes to show why having a good recruitment team is crucial, consisting of 1) Scouts 2) A good team buildinng manager like SAF or Klopp and/or a DOF.
It was. I was a bit behind as I had paused the TV and forgot to wind it on.Old school goal.
Looks to push the defender and the ball hits is arm.I'm not sure if that's handball?

The worst thing about Burnley is that their brand of 'football' actually brings results and allows them to stay in the League. Shame.
Thought he was poor today and against Leeds. Had some decent games post lockdown but overall you want more when you spend that sort of money on a player.
James Milner and Thiago Alcantara...together at last.
Have Leicester been playing with inverted fullbacks? I thought that new signing was a LB but keep seeing him on the right side on highlights. And scored from the right side last week too?
