But how could the club hide the fact they where actively looking for his replacement? 

 

I get what you're saying, but in this day and age, it would have been impossible to keep it quiet 

You’re right- I’m not disputing the issues/actions, just that it has to have been unsettling, compounded as the going got tough. 

I still think Klopp announcing he was off half way through the season was very odd timing and has been a factor

Still, it was a pretty good draw as quarter finals go. Glad we avoided the big guns 

I’d have started Nunez- it’s a bit of a slight on him that in the one game where we need at least 4 goals to win in 90mins he doesn’t make the line up 

I’m not sure the forwards can accuse the defence of always giving them mountains to climb going a goal down.

Maybe medium height hills given our supreme attacking talent 

Loving the optimism. Its lifted the gloom a tiny bit.

Here hoping the golf course never gets built and the Goonies find some diamonds in an underground pirate ship  

We seem focused on City slipping and us winning all 6. This only works if Arsenal slip as well which we seem to be taking as a given.

And the small matter of us not being utterly dreadful

Must confess, you’ve lost me 

Possibly the worst Salah performance Ive seen 

Shame on us. But shame on Palace too- playing like that the wankers. 

Ultimately he’s meant to have scored more goals. That wins the league.

He’s by no means alone in that but he’s a big part of it 

Stupid stupid stupid twats Reds 

For fuck sake this was obviously going yo happen. Fuck fuck fuck

Any chance we had of getting anything from the game went with him going off.

It's the rest that need to do better. Salah anonymous, Diaz works hard but doesn't seem to function as part of a unit it's all too individualist

Diaz is a far far bigger goal threat than Nunez

The Prancing Pony? 

Sounds ideal. Hopefully they do Pernod chasers 

Anyone recommend a pub with a really dark corner that selling flagons of strong dark ale. Preferably playing very melancholy music 

Why do we keep floating the ball to the far side when we have chance to cross

In fairness to the players, it does seem as though they are actively trying to bring ticket prices down 

If they go 2 up we will bring on Jota as we would need to score lots of goals.

At the moment it would seem we don’t

Didn't realize this was an away game.

And we seen to be against Ancelottis 2005 Milan side 

I think a new manager may play him differently. Or may have already seen enough and bin him.

Arsenals record signing was Pepe wasnt it? £72m. Best thing they did was get rid

The players do seem to lack game intelligence- some are naturals but others only gain it through adverse experience.

The Henderson point is an interesting one . His influence wained in his last season but he wouldnt hide and would actively try and rally the team if it was flailing. I know its not the norm but when I see United score their 2nd last weekend I half expect to see Van Dijk make his way up the pitch whilst United celebrate and go to the forwards one by one, letting them know we need better, get their chins up, get them focused- just showing physical leadership in a storm

That guy looked like my dad only without the glasses. He must be 75 if he's a day.

A sprightly 66.

In his prime one might say 

Edwards swapped numbers with the Atalanta boss

Haha, Crouch has to stand with his feet a mile apart just so he stays in the same shot at Jules Breach.
