I mean Amorim sounds enough like a left field smartest-guy-in-the-room pick already, in that none of the English football media will have heard of him. If he comes in and doesn’t do very well you will hear stuff like “I don’t know why Liverpool have gone with this unknown Portuguese fella, they could have gone with a proven winner” from all the usual idiots. While we’re on the subject of unexpected choices I wonder if we’re looking at that Sebastian Hoeness guy at Stuttgart. Has them fourth in the Bundesliga from nearly going down last season and they play some great stuff at times. Ideally wouldn’t be under consideration but I bet his stats look amazing.

Frank should be an absolute non starter. Surprised he’s even being linked, by anyone. Looks like a graphic designer but has his team playing like Allardyce’s Bolton.

Juve are shite this year. Madrid are the richest club in the world and their only domestic rival has imploded. Inter spent fortunes to get nowhere for about thirty years. They only started to win stuff after Calciopoli.

Seems to be the common sense consensus but a lot can happen between now and the start of next season.

A hatful? Against ... the Hatters? Worthy of a Thomas Muller gif that mate.

There's no way we pass up on Alonso if he wants to come here over Bayern.

Trent is such a unique player. I'd be really interested to see how he got on playing somewhere like Real Madrid. Or even under a different Liverpool coach.

Sorry Stacksy mate, not seeing any mention of Gakpo, Nunez or Diaz in that article. Or the phrase "manager signings".

Got a link?

Has anyone else moved significantly? Imo it's pretty meaningless at this stage

Was such a low quality game that. Not seen us play that half-arsedly in a long while. Well, we won the Arsenal cup game and then lost there in the league. I’d take a reversal of that.

Very slim chance 90 wins it imo. Arsenal and Abu Dhabi are just way too strong for the rest of the teams in this league. We are usually as well. Think Man City will draw a game between now and the end of the season, which puts them on 91. So imo 92 is the lowest that can win it, and that needs Arsenal to lose one or draw two. It’s going to be extremely tight.

Alberto Moreno has that effect on people

Basically the only way we don’t get Xabi is if he chooses Bayern or Real Madrid (or staying at Leverkusen) instead. We will be going all out to get him, we’d be idiots not to.

Realistically we should be easily beating anyone we get drawn against, except Leverkusen.

And, of course, there will not be any trouble at the final. evo1878 Player Valuation: £5m Forum Supporter Yesterday at 1:31 AM New Add bookmark #80,753 yep imagining that carnage.

Honestly, I can’t believe they actually wrote headlines about local youths, fans of other teams, French police it was Madrid fans as well, and UEFA’s admin processes, and all of English football media just absolutely lapped it up Make those tickets digital, and have the tear gas ready for these utter Neanderthals. And on the subject of a young lad who’s played in a cup final, won more cups, and has more winners medals than the entire Everton team…. Saint Domingo Player Valuation: £80m Yesterday at 11:20 PM Add bookmark #80,770 Will be lucky to have the same career as Jordan Ibe, Harry Wilson and Ben Woodburn, a load of other kids they hyped up and did absolutely nothing. Once the doper leaves these academy kids are all going to be starring on the next season of Welcome to Wrexham. In short, if you’re tempted to have any sympathy for these deadbeats over their points deductions, don’t. You should be treating them as something you stepped in that needs to be scraped off your shoe. That Harry Wilson shout is especially mad, he’d probably be their best player

Code is Richard Hughes confirmed

They can in theory. We all know City are getting the shittest side left in the draw though. Followed by the winner out of the next two shittest sides in the semi.

Unless Arsenal take points off Abu Dhabi I think we’ll need 94 to win it. Can see Arsenal dropping points in other games, Abu Dhabi won’t.

I disagree with this, if we smash them today we are massive favourites. Four points clear with ten games to go is a big lead.

That’s the team, yeah.

Have heard the back four is Robertson, Van Dijk, Gomez, Bradley. Rest as you’d expect. Very disappointed Konate can’t play.

I’m hoping for a classic bit of Guardiola overthinking for this one. Phil Foden as a false nine, Bernardo Silva at left wing back with Haaland on the right or something. This season they’ve not seemed as utterly relentless as in previous years. I’m hoping Dom and Macca can run all over them in midfield and do the work of three players, City always dominate midfield so it’d be interesting to see how they handle it.

We got so lucky with the Saudis bailing us out of that Henderson contract. Without that he’d not only have been around this season sulking about not being first choice while putting in worse performances than we’ve seen from Clark and McConnell in recent weeks, but he’d be here next season as well! Imagine if we’d missed out on Szoboszlai or Endo because Henderson didn’t get that Saudi move. We’d be nowhere near a title challenge that’s for sure.

Give Mo half an hour in this, an hour against City, then make sure he's "injured" enough to miss the international break
