There isn't a lot of time left for Bald Fraud Pep Guardiola to overtake Liverpool, nor for Spurs to bottle it enough to drop out of the CL spots. The NLD is tomorrow and whatever the Liverpool one is called is the day after!

It is in Liverpool’s DNA to gently caress up against anyone, but Everton, Spurs and Chelsea are especially big worries for me. I suspect City are going to snatch it because of squad depth. I also don’t know how many of City’s opponents are going to have anything to play for by the time those matches come around.

pik_d posted:Manchester City have signed *double takes back to article* Mangala on a 1 year contract extension??? Is that an attempt to raise his value a bit for putting him on sale? Also, as a City fan, how likely do you think a transfer ban will be? I've seen some speculation that City will be doing some heavy transfer business in the next summer in anticipation of a potential ban. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/11/16/manchester-city-facing-one-year-transfer-ban-threat-part-fifa/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/03/01/pep-guardiola-plots-200m-summer-spending-spree-ahead-manchester/ Gorn Myson posted:lol neither side in that game had anything to play for except "its Stevie's last game". It was a major sign that Rodgers had lost the support of the team though. How do you feel about how Gerrard handled that last season? I have mixed feelings. It might not have been all Gerrard's doing, but I felt his midseason announcement felt really badly timed and I think it ended up being a big millstone around the club's neck for the rest of the season.

God drat that was extremely good and fun from United yesterday. Those kinds of never give up, never say die last minute comeback wins are bad for the heart but good for the soul. If they don't give Ole the job, I'll be really upset about it on the Internet. E: also apparently Alexis has done the ligaments in his knee, which probably means he's played his last game for United. I mean it's a shame for him personally of course, but I can't imagine an injury that would affect United less. Shaman Tank Spec fucked around with this message at 09:49 on Mar 3, 2019 |

Der Shovel posted:God drat that was extremely good and fun from United yesterday. Those kinds of never give up, never say die last minute comeback wins are bad for the heart but good for the soul. Honestly, even if we ultimately finish 6th and win nothing, it would be one of the most ridiculous and out-of-touch decisions I've ever seen in football not to keep him on, unless he was suddenly possessed by the ghost of Joe Kinnear and decided to deliberately alienate everyone at the club. And in fairness, that position is still quite possible considering how tight the league positions are and that relying on cup success is always something of a crapshoot even before you have to figure out a way to get three dodgy penalties in a row in Paris. It'd be pretty disappointing considering everything up to now, but there's a concern for me that we're thin on depth and if the first team run themselves into the ground then it's going to start being a case of playing teenagers and wastemen as an obligation, rather than as a courtesy such that your relatives back in Chile don't think that you've died. The downside to keeping him on is most likely not that major, either. There's no suggestion that he'd be asking for Mourinho money or for a "but you are a winner" length of contract. You could happily put him on a two or three-year rolling deal and be quite comfortable that professionally he's not going to have his head turned by the prospect of a three-month Autumn working holiday in Madrid, and that if he's ultimately not up to standard you could pay him off for less than you pay Fred to turn up to training every day and watch birds fly overhead. And I've been impressed to this point in that he's been good so far not just in getting the players excited to play football, but also he's also shown a lot of really astute tactical work to get results in some of these big games. That gives me some confidence that there's something substantial there, and it's not just all predicated on the idea that Jose Mourinho was slowly morphing into a Portuguese version of Gordon Brown and all the players really needed was a strong fatherly hug, a brand new pack of kinesio tape, and someone to explain in detail why if Graeme Souness had anything of value to add to modern football, he wouldn't have been sat on his arse listening to Jamie Redknapp for the last fifteen years. In fairness, a good chunk of that tactical development could well have come from bringing Phelan in. He worked directly with Ferguson for a long time with a team that was largely built around an attacking game, and I'd like to hope that you'd take something useful away from that, but at this point I can't see a basis on which one of them would stay and the other go, so as long as you can keep that working team in place, I'm not sure it really matters in the end.

That was loving infuriating. Losing a 7 point lead by drawing against teams is so annoying to watch. But credit to City, they close out close games which is something we were doing at the start of the season but can't do it now it seems. I don't think it's over yet but it not being in our hands anymore is not good
