Well deserved win for Liverpool. Not going to say they look like title contenders yet because that united midfield did them a big favour. Hopefully it's a 3 horse race this season though
This whole not giving good contracts to guys in their early 30s in this era is a joke. 32 is the the new 28 for most players anyway City, spurs and brighton
We're 3 games in, tempering expectations need to be carried out here. Also, a good start suddenly doesn't make the window we've just had any less shit. People who should have been bringing players in didn't do their job. It's not a case of Slot not wanting anyone.
Yes but if we can't get our top targets then I would rather not settle personally. It was clear to see from preseason we wouldn't be lower than 3rd again the squad is elite.
Also **** the tragedy chanting. Hopefully none happened from the Liverpool end. But it was proper loud today and it was in response to a very innocuous chant from the away end at the time. Gravenberch just needs to be told what to do in a very weird direct verging on sociopathic way that the Dutch are experts at.
Looked like Liverpool changed who the sitter was today. Edit: And Trent didn't invert. Interesting stuff from Slot. Doing things people weren't expecting.
Yeah looks that way. Mac barely got involved forward. Gravenberch def had licence to move between the lines and wide. Ultimately Mac has more experience in that role so maybe Slot decided he should take on the role in such a highly charged fixture.
Seeing the interview again, it does look like his last season. But I think if the club were to offer a new contract, he'd sign it. It all lies in the hands of the club, I'd offer him a new deal personally.
Just been chatting to a United fan at work who was at the game, bigging up Martinez, I just don't get it, a dwarf who kicks a few people. May as well of kept Hannibal to kick people.
Also quite amusing that for the hundreds of millions Ten Hag has been allowed to spend on players he worked with in the Dutch league that the one of them who turned up was running the middle of the park for us. Gravenberch has been excellent first three. Hope it continues. Trent definitely did come in to invert but for a short period before the first goal, helped us gain some control then went back out.
Gravenberch was really really good today. Macaliister looked tired at the end. Jota looked very much off ot modt of tje game to be honest. We used 4 subs but just maybe should think about macca and the long trip he's going on. A very minor quibble. Diaz is on fire in output terms but could do more in assists and decision-making at times. Salah goal, 2 assist? And a tap back from.offisde tjst was finished. Outrageous output Roll on forest at home in two weeks.
It can only be the finances. He has basically declared open season to go contact his agent there. On a free? There's not one big club in europe who shouldn't be all over that. Harry kane is on 400k a week at bayern. Salah is good for that for another year some place. Also for all the talk of Saudi deals the guy has two little girls getting their education in England and I really doubt he wants to put them in Saudi for 2 or 3 years as he won't be able to come back to Europe very easily afterwards. I'd only guess that we think another year at 350k needs to be judged off where we are likely to finish this season as another year of non cl football and the new 70% rules could put us in trouble. Losing salah, vvd and trent thinking like thst is too horrid to contemplate. Two of them are getting on so they have to be replaced eventually
