Honcho Crunchwrap

Took Stuttgart from 16th and in the relegation play off spot. To 2nd and ahead of Bayern.... Yet people wanted to keep Botch....

Bizarre move. Have looked a totally different team since the City game a couple months ago. Manager market is dead too. There was little to no reason to end his term at this stage, and considering the current market his replacement will not be magically better than him. Boehly needs to leave this club.

Its McKenna apparently boehly has change his approach now he's targeting Brighton targets

Poch leaving must mean De Zerbi is going to Chelsea right?

Yeah just as they were getting good as well

Getting rid of poch is crazy

Chelsea 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Boehly is trying to cut and paste the Dodgers blueprint without laying the proper foundations and completely ignoring that this is a completely different league in a different sport in a different country. They might luck their way into overperforming every now and then but this is not how you build long term success. They need an identity and continuity, not a daycare program.

We hate Barca here

Tbf it says it wasn’t a sacking, it was a mutual decision so he had a part in wanting to leave. Don’t know who they have in mind, probably another yes man.

What a terrible decision. He already has set the fundamentals. All they need is to give some cash and have a EL journey. Who is even available?

Poch leaving, they were actually making some progress over the last month or so tbh😭 now they’re restarting it all over again

I have a feeling that we will pull off something sensational next season.

Kap is using the Ozdum account lol.

Kinda crazy Toney is in it. With the amount of talent England have, esp in AM and wide areas, I'd honestly just pick 2 strikers. If both Kane and Watkins go down, you get creative with these elite players (Bellingham as a false 9, Foden etc etc.) I agree tho, I think leaving Rashford out is a mistake. It's a 26 man squad - having a guy like Rashford, who could be a key difference maker, seems much more important than guys like Bowen, Grealish, Gallagher etc. Good players in their own right, but imo they make only up the numbers more than anything else. Gordon should prob still be the starter on the left (or Foden tbh), but Rashford could've been England's joker card.

Advantage England

Fair decision considering the season hems having. I’d rather see Gordon more tbh.

no Rashford in the England squad :/

Baffled how Toney is there, can barely make Brentford’s XI

He's managed by Gareth Southgate for England, it can't get much worse than that.

insane aura since tucking his shirt in

Far better than haaland

And you are entitled to that opinion 👍 How much better are Dortmund than Spurs and Chelsea then out of interest?

I will always respect Klopp as a manager

Klopp slander is silly. But to make your point you had to argue how hard it is to beat Pep to a title, so isn’t your fan base and others calling us bottlers a little bit of a stretch?

yep,multiple teams capable of winning it this time. Would be a good series.

If Eze isn’t called up there’ll be uproar. IMAGINE Kalvin Phillips going instead of him

Just had a look at the final xG table for the season in terms of expected points (based on xG for and against in each game). We were a close 2nd to City as expected. Manchester United were 15th. They truly are horrible.

Very difficult to suggest the best case scenario for us because if you sign Bruno G or Gyokeres, it makes it impossible for us to be able to afford players in every position we need (ST, LW/RW, CDM, LB/CB, GK). I reckon the budget even with sales is no more than £170m for this summer.

He's significantly better than Van Dijk at his age. I don't see why he can't have potential on the level of prime Virgil, maybe even higher.

https://s3a.sofifa.net/73cf2bad6fc4f192c0e3ea9ffba01adbba201e08.jpg Should be 87/92 next fifa man

Best cb in the league this season

Should be 87 now and 88-89 at next EA FC

Why this Guy is still on 85 after playing 2 season AS best cb is beyond crime .... 87/91 by far deserved by a landslide

87/92 Generational

Played every minute with the best defensive record in the league all at the age of 23, what a colossal defender we have in our hands. Deserves 87/92.

So.... how are we doing under this supposedly world-class manager? I mean I was mobbed for saying that he isn't doing any better than the Rangnick but here we are....

Not realistic at all, plus Gyokeres had 1 good season in his life at decent level and they are asking like 60m for him

Gyokeres and Vlahovic seem unrealistic, Nico Williams won't join us, he'll have the likes of Madrid/Barca/City after him, Eze would be great but probably 60m as he's just signed a contract (Levy won't pay), Palhinha is way too much money for a player of that age with mediocre ball playing ability, Toney and Hiroki are the only ones that might happen. Sorry to be negative just no point getting your hopes up lol.

Yeah this was an L post

Just seen a ridiculous take on the Liverpool page, where someone said if they took 4 of their draws and their loss to Spurs and made them wins, they'd have won the league "Did you know if we won a load of games we didn't and maybe deserved to, we would have more points", like, what? 😂 Btw tho guys if we beat Villa and Fulham twice instead and West Ham in December, we'd have walked the league

Idk what the no guarantee talk is with Kai. He delivered when it was crunch time. He’s a major reason on why we took City to the last day.

He might be the most overrated manager of all time. 23 years and just 6 major trophies?? 1-3 in Champions League finals and only 3 league titles?? And this is one of the all time greats?

My first reaction is always to roll my eyes when I see Alexis, Ozil or Fabregas doing stuff like this, but it’s easy to forget that they spent a significant portion of their careers here and that’s always going to mean something to them. Especially at a club that has always had very close connections with the supporters.

What was everyone's opinion on Martinelli's RW shift yest? Not to convert him to RW but in general just his overall gameplay. I felt he was bright throughout, showed good energy against a great defensive set-up. If Havertz, ESR or even Martinelli had converted their chances it would be spoken about differently I feel.

Will miss ‘Neny tho lowkey

Didn’t post anything yesterday because honestly, it’s hard to accept coming this far again with nothing to show for it other than stats. We go again next season but part of me actually hopes Man City doesn’t get banned because we need to beat them for the title and for it to be close again- not like when Liverpool won it in the Covid season and Man City had already given up early. Then City can get kicked out the league for the 25/26 season and Pep will take another break from management lol. I’m deflated now but this has been a 9/10 season as far as I’m concerned and hopefully we will make it a 10/10 season next season.

London is red. Havertz was unlocked. Caicedo is not even in the same conversation as Rice who will soon overtake Rodri. Saliba is the best CB in the league with VVD. Unless you’re a City fan, Arteta is better than your manager. Certainly better than that chubby Aussie or the Dutch Poundland Pep. The rest are cap.

Didn’t we wipe the table last year of London clubs and didn’t lose to any of the “top 6” teams this year. So don’t see how London isnt red, at least atm

👍

“Havertz was unlocked” is a fact. “Your manager < Arteta” is mostly true. “London is red” is and always will be a fact. “Saliba is the best CB” definitely can be debated. That means the first letter of each line actually spells out TROPES which means a recurring theme or motif- for example, every season Man United are shite.

84/85, arsenal’s most underrated player

*possibly* another CM/CDM lol it's the absolute priority mate

Martinelli looked more fluid at RW v Everton. Was able to get behind and look more dangerous with cut backs. Suspect you’d see the same from Saka at LW - don’t know why we haven’t seen it more, even interchanging mid game would be cool to see

Arsenal 5 points clear in February but lose the league by 5 points = Biggest bottle job in history Liverpool 5 points clear in February but lose the league by 9 points= *Crickets*

Exactly if we would've won the Villa game we would be champions now but unfortunately we didn't. We lost the league by small margins and mistakes. Hopefully we push on.

Not buying these City are unstoppable, City are cheaters, expecting other clubs to do a favour, etc. We go big or go home, I'd love us to finish this City team at their peak, that way we'll only go up. Raise the standard guys, the team did well and props to all the players but we need to do better next season. COYG.

My only and last thread for this season. I just want to break down what I witnessed last night. - Not the best performance itw but we really should have scored more. Rice scuffed his shot and then you had both Havertz and ESR hitting the woodwork. - Another good game by Kai. Not unfazed by Brainthwaite who imo had a MOTM performance. Kept his head down and scored the winning goal. - Martinelli looked very lively down the RW. Worked his socks off. Fair play. - Raya had a great game again despite conceding. He caught a freaking curler from DCL with his both hands lol. - Clearly White doesn't have the legs to sustain his stamina for 90 mins and he had few off games in the run-ins including this. That's where Timber comes in. Really good cameo. Timber x Saka is something I'm curious about. - Partey should not be here next season. Ever since he came back we've been conceding big chances. - Odegaard is so frustrating. He had a couple good opportunities to shoot but he decided either wait or use his left instead. - If only City didn't score early, I bet the celebration for the goals would've been louder. It is what it is I guess.

I know it was ages ago but I’ve never understood the people saying we played for a draw against city. We played the same way that Real Madrid, spurs and wolves did when they beat city we just don’t have players that are great on the transition. We did get into some really good positions but didn’t take advantage of them
