For some daft reason they have played him in every game and not rested him yet. They play us the weekend so they might not rest him then either. Then it is one more game and season is over then a week break for the champs league final. I have no idea how the final will go, this season is stupid, if Liverpool win i will be in sevre pain from seeing the Scouse thinking they are a big amazing team again even though they have failed in the league 28 years now yet somehow can do these random runs in Europe! Nothing worst than scouse fans chirping away about success and beign righteous and whatever! Anyway, can Klopp fix his cup final jynx!? That another side story, he has an awful record in cup finals. For Liverpool alone this will be his 3rd final and he is 0/2 lol what? For years you've been talking about chelsea completely luckboxing a CL win a season where they got 6th place in the league. This Liverpool plays amazing football. I hated watching them during the benitez-era and was an anti-fan for that reason, but this season, they've been the most entertaining team in Europe. | ||

But i never attacked their style of play, they could the best defensive football in the world or best attacking football in the world, but they are still the annoying Scouse team who laud their history over everyone even though they hindered so many teams thanks to all what they have done to English football. | ||

that just really doesn't help Liverpool at all, i mean, yeah it's football and everything can happen but still... I think that if Real Madrid plays their game with Kroos/Casemiro/Modric setting the tempo of the game Liverpool has no chance, they really don't have a midfield that could take away the ball and control the game | ||

Its just not very good at playing with it. Which doesnt matter much because they tend to just toss it up and let the front 3 do their thing. But yeah I dont see them keeping the ball much against Real so Real will set the temp and control the game for sure and that will be a problem. | ||

Wish Simeone didn't sign his contract extension so he might have been able to be tapped up and bought Costa back as all our board loved Costa and was only Conte who forced him out. Ahh well, what might have been! Also huge blow for France? Koscielny has ruptured his Achillies and will be out for at least 6 months! No world cup for him! | ||

Not that one would wish anyone injury or anything of that nature. But its maybe not the worst thing in the world for France that they dont have a chance to pick him. I would rate all of the guys you mentioned above him at this time. | ||

He had no leaders on the pitch, no powerful mid after vieria (imagine if diaby was fit though). For some reason despite being blatantly clear that one is needed, Wenger never bought them. I believe he had the money, but refused due to his ideals. It came back to bite him because when he finally had top players like ozil and Sanchez, the rest of the squad were not up to the same standard. Its funny cuz every year arsenal kept having the same results. They hype themselves to be title challengers, somehow start the season terribly and change their target to top 4 in December, go on a good run in the 2nd half of season and lamenting their poor start. Then Wenger and the board expects things to be different the next season without making fundamental changes. He has had his time. His success in 90s and 2000s do not erase the shit show he has been for the next decade. A fitting way to end by concluding his experiment was nothing but a failure. | ||
