Liverpool have 2nd sewn up - EPL 2018/19

Xpost Trust your gut feeling, LBI

Rashford's done

Fuck everything

Now Herrera. This is a catastrophe

And Mata as well. Fucking hell everyone is dead.

Maybe United just replaced all their physios with a bloke shouting 'attack attack attack!' and hoped no one would notice.

Solskjaer's brutal training regimen under question

Lingard might not last the half lol

Well we're not finishing this with 11

If this doesn't end with Ashley Young in goal then I want my PPV money back.

We never once looked like scoring. Writing was on the wall once Salah got subbed

fucking delighted with that given the context

Liverpool weirdly passive all game

That was dire.

It was

Probably the most dispiriting performance of the season

happy with the result given the hamstring epidemic, liverpool absolutely bottled it

Not sure if there's a Carabao thread but I greatly enjoyed David Luiz electing to nonchalantly pass it back to the keeper with Aguero standing right between them. Peak David Luiz.

Firmino on crutches. This truly is a shite Sunday. I'm on my fifth Paulaner though

Prost!

I just want to see a goal is that really too much to ask?

truly the Superest of Sundays

Emerson hoofing it into the crowd 35 yards from City's goal under no meaningful pressure... glorious stuff

'kin ell Kepa

in tears of laughter here

^

Amazing. Under normal circumstances surely a huddle of Chelsea players would've dragged him off no?

i wish a huddle of somebody would drag Chris Sutton off

lol

for posterity:

😳 - Have you EVER seen anything like it!?

Maurizio Sarri tries to substitute Kepa Arrizabalaga for Willy Caballero, but Kepa refuses to come off and Sarri is absolutely FURIOUS! 😡 pic.twitter.com/Q81v6ry3Kk

i think player power is more a question of realpolitik than professional ethics nowadays but on the other hand Sarri should have twatted the cunt by way of a resignation letter

Maurizio Sarri says the Kepa substitution confusion was 'a big misunderstanding' because he thought the player had cramp. However he says Kepa was right that he could continue although the way he went about it was wrong. Sarri says he needs to talk to Kepa now. #CHEMCI

lol.

Such a pity Sarri didn't just walk off, as he intended to do, but then he remembered all that money.

The wink when the final whistle goes 😂😂😂. Absolute muggings from Kepa!! #CHEMCI pic.twitter.com/zPXMnhY0RQ

What a stupid fucking football club.

yes, essentially that

Good luck finding a new manager when you can't sign any players for two transfer windows and there are obvious deficiencies in the squad.

Rodgers IN

just the council chelsea now

Good. Maybe Celtic can go for Wagner.

Don't worry NV we are just having 90 minute training sessions in this extended pre-season for 19/20 in the champo, normal bogey-side rules don't apply any more.

Wagner for Rodgers would be a fucking massive upgrade imo.

i worry every. single. game. that this beautiful bubble will burst

(xp) Indeed, sadly it looks like Lennon might take over till the end of the season, so expect UN peacekeepers to required for any Old Firm matches scheduled for the rest of the season.

Feels like the league has moved on a very long way from Rodgersball in the last few years. Looking forward to the Sturridge-Vardy dream team upfront though.

a debut for an academy kid at RB, Mooy on the bench, two up front including our recent L1 signing. Might as well try different players/formations out at this stage and at least Siewart has noticed Hadj is stealing a wage, cos poor DW seemed oblivious to how badly he was performing.

xp wpuld you call em sturdy or vadge

why would you give up the chance to win the treble-treble for the job at leicester

They've got far more money than Celtic, for a start.

we were always going to be a stepping stone for Rodgers, and he was unlikely to do any better than mid-table when coming back to the prem - hard to launder your reputation that much by doing well in Scotland, especially with the relative resources of Celtic vs the rest up there - lot of the Celtic fans are in disbelief though, and he's probably rendered himself an enduring hate-figure.

rude-awakening to those in Scotland who haven't accepted that we're closer to being on par, in terms of resources, with championship sides, at best
