What a management dream team they would be.

Kalvin Phillips is not a bad player at all and with Rice and Hendo injured he is probably important to Britain's second favourite waistcoat wearer.

This is perfect from Squires.

The Premier League’s UEFA coefficient is going to take a hit next season with Leicester and West Ham in the CL and us treating the Europa like it has rabies.

 

It always takes a hit when we aren't in the ascendency. Something the authorities in this country really ought to make note of.

Bayern set to wrap up their 9th straight title in early April.

 

It is their 16th in 18 seasons.

The attitude of rather not being in the UEFA Cup is bollocks and reeks of something Spurs fans say or something Brendan Rodgers would prefer. We have a big enough squad with plenty of good young players. Giving Ox, Keita and Neco etc more minutes in less important games can only be a good thing. If they carry us through to the knockouts then bring in the ringers to have a crack at another European trophy. We’re Liverpool not fucking West Ham, we should be able to compete on all fronts.

How? Werder Bremen won it in 2004, Stuttgart in 2007, Wolfsburg in 2009, then Dortmund in 2011 and 2012.

Yea, you're right - got me count wrong 16 out of 20 - 9 straight

[joe_fishfish]

If we miss out on the Europa League, we'll likely end up in the even shitter Europa Conference League, if that's still going ahead. I reckon we should be going all out in every league game now, we need to tie up fourth if at all possible. If nothing else building up a run of form should help us in the Champions League too.

If you're going back 20 years, then Dortmund also won it in 2002, so it'd be 14 out of the last 20 titles for Bayern. Juventus have a similar record in Italy over the same period, and that's despite having 2 titles stripped off them and being relegated to Serie B because of Calciopoli. Like all big clubs, Juventus have looked to strengthen a winning squad every year, but Bayern are the only ones who systematically cherry-pick their domestic rivals' best players to either get back on top or keep the rest at arm's length. What is annoying is that all the other clubs do very little to prevent it.

I couldn't agree more. 

 

I'm not one for banging the "best league in the world" drum regarding the Premierleague, but out of the top leagues in world football, its definitely the hardest to win. There's usually at least 3 teams that can win it any season. 

 

But the bundesliga is possibly the least competitive in terms of teams that can win it. Its literally bayern, that's it. 

 

Even though Juve have won the Serie A title the last few years, at least inter and Ac tend to compete.

The two Milan clubs, especially AC Milan, haven't been close to competitive in Serie A for the best part of a decade. They've both been better this season, and Inter look well placed to win the league, but Juventus have pretty much had things all their own way. I think Napoli a few years ago were the closest to breaking Juve's domination but they couldn't get over the line and that side has gradually been broken up.

Didn't Inter just lose out last season?

When I started reading I knew I didnt agree with you. After reading I’m not so sure any more. Still tend to think we’d be better off without the Europa , but you do make a few good points. Good post.

I understand the reality is that not travelling to Buttfuckistahn will put us in good stead for a crack at the title but it’s small time as fuck. I just don’t see why this team can’t do both especially if Klopp rests the main players for trips to Buttfuckistahn etc. I think it’s a good competition for players like Elliott and a good shop window for the unshiftables. 

 
Won’t be an issue like because I think we’ll have a good crack at the European Cup and finish in the top four.

Yeh, but he didn’t say what 18 seasons.

Jadon Sancho might be in a bit of shit tonight, but this ref’s bank account needs checking.

That's a fucking disgrace. How many incompetent refs are at the highest level?

Looked like the challenge on Haaland was a pen as well,

Who won the other 2? It sounds like a big achievement to get one over on bayern, I think we should sign whoever was managing them.

I referee kids football and sometimes the opposition will ask a player for his signature to make sure he's not a banger. Probably what happened here.
