Milenkovic cost £3m less than Okoli and £13m less than Skipp 😭😭

If Liverpool win their game in hand against Everton, they’ll be 9 points clear of them, it’s not happening.

Do you think they’ll sell Gibbs White?

Marinakis will threaten to have them shot

If it’s Forest it would properly kick off as it would be seen as a clear attempt to prevent them from competing where they are.

The inconvenient truth is that it’s basically impossible to govern in western countries now. Name a single western leader that has done well over the past 10 years? The system is broken, 2008 essentially destroyed it and nobody has a clue how to turn things around. A new PM comes in and gets immediately spat out by the system.

It’s just madness that Labour somehow get the blame for all of this 🤣 they’ve been in charge for 6 months

Ayew himself shouldn’t come under criticism but he WAS a terrible signing despite the goals. He does not in any way fit the Maresca model, which is what we should’ve continued with (with a manager who has that philosophy) rather than an idiot like Cooper.

Dunno if it counts as news but the flooding situation around the county is extremely serious, please be careful

Amazing that that sort of challenge isn’t seen to be a red card. No intention of playing the ball and a shoulder straight into the head.

Klopp probably the best manager of his generation too. He built this.

They must be paying mega wages for all those quality forwards to be happy sitting on the bench

Jota is vile 🤢🤢🤢

Not for handballs like that

Jammy but what a team Liverpool are

He’s a prat but Bruno has been the best player on the pitch by a mile. Liverpool just have too many class players not to win this

They literally had Rahane this summer for the 50 over games and nobody turned up.

Because the local non season ticket holders got priced out for tourists and day trippers.

He’s basically the tesco value Trent. Dangerous going forward but an absolute mess defensively. If he gets his big move as rumoured he’ll be found out very fast

Well he wasn’t at the game yesterday

Liam Delap would have been a great post-Vardy solution

So is he actually on holiday in the Caribbean or is it just a rumour?

The thing about the PL these days is that it’s about systems. Individual brilliance really isn’t much of a thing. Ipswich have a system and they sign players to fit into that system. Brighton, Brentford, even Forest have all done that effectively. Funnily enough we had a system last season that was effective for the most part. The clear and obvious solution to Maresca was to find a coach (regardless of their past success) that uses a very similar system, and then signings could be made which fit into that system. For us however, a lack of vision post Maresca have left us screwed because none of our signings are system players, they’re players who can do individual things very well but not much else. That doesn’t work in 2024/25. The club is set up like it’s competing in the championship in 2004/05.

Football has always overlapped with societal issues. Celtic and Rangers whole existence lies on sectarian and political stances for example. There will always be a political element to the sport, as it’s cultural.

Isn’t it just lack of creativity and incompetence rather than anything more sinister?
