If that is the case and he understands the financial side, pretty much means Coutinho is gone lol. That is only way to balance the books now

I think we all kow that Coutinho is gone because he wanted to go to barca so badly, so Klopp is doing anything from now (buying players) so that Coutinho can go. In that case Klopp is doing a "forward planning", such thing never happened at Mainz and Dortmund so far I know.
Who knows.

And still Newcastle only lost 0-1 and even had a few chances to score. What does this say about football?

I gave up on trying to read too much into these 'almost there' transfers after the De Gea saga. He was one faxed contract away from being transferred to Real and now he has carried ManU for the last few seasons without any further talk about transfers.

This one Clearly did not watch game and looked at highlights

This was one of those games where lesser teams may well have drawn. City literally hit the bar like what 3 times? And missed some sitters. While maintaining complete control of the game.

What it says about football is that good teams can have unlucky/bad days. But great teams find a way to get wins out of those bad/unlucky days because they continuously craft oppurtunities. City never looked like losing the game. The scoreline is irrelevant unless NewCastle actually took one of those "chances" if you can call them that. All teams will have such days. But looking at their record these days are the exception not the rule.

So what did you think it said about football? That having possession doesnt matter ? That how many passes you make doesnt matter? That how many good shots on goal you take doesnt matter? That how efficient your passing is doesnt matter?

Go on say something stupid I'd like to see what you can come up with.

based on newcastle's approach to the game, it honestly seemed like they were willing to take a 0-1 loss if offered that before it started.

Liverpool signed 22 year old Manuel Akanji as well ! 2 centre backs!

As far as I can tell, Akanji isn't going to be a total bargain either. I wonder if they've got some money from Coutinho or if this is just some other longer term arrangement.

It doesnt matter that one guy on one team completed more passes than the rest of the other team. Got it.

That was too easy. You can do stupider. Come on man, thats such low hanging fruit. Dont use the stupid on offer, I know you can exceed expectations.

Machester City are killing my excitement for the Premier League right now. But fair play to them. I normally start to anti support teams when they go a bit clear at the top. But there's not a hope of anyone catching them and they deserve it since they are playing by far the best football in the League.

edit: I've just noticed Yanbian Funde were relegated. No!

That's the problem I have since teams are collecting 85+ points regularly. It was a rare thing 10 years ago in all top leagues.
Gives me the impression that those teams are more busy with "hitting the wall" than with the competitiors.

Simeone said in 2014/2015: There is no fun, La Liga is super boring. The only fun is winning games.

If this happens for several years as with Bayern it is a problem. Right now I only congratulate City to the great football they are showing. I am usually someone to root for underdogs but they are simply a joy to watch atm.
Off-season = best season

Liverpool vs Leicester had a pretty good start. Vardy scoring early on and Liverpool should be at least level if Salah ad put his boots on the right shoes. Leicester still looking very dangerous on the counter.

Mourinho needs to do less moaning and more coaching. No one is getting better under him regardless of the money they do or do not spend.
