Chucky, what would you think to someone like Carrick at Spurs? Probably a bit early I suppose but he’s doing an amazing job at Boro and playing some great stuff.

Bayern, Napoli and City look like they’re levels above everyone else in the CL this season Nil.

Well that Spurs Milan game was sending me to sleep so switching over. That was a tough watch.

No, absolutely, Mikus. That’s the tricky part. Though, I’d imagine that partly explains the latest trend of setting up these multi-club ownership models where the risk can be spread and players can be brought in to clubs at a lower level before moving up through the clubs.

Don’t forget Ramos at Benfica Lucky. He looks absolute quality. Great finisher and good in the build up too. Benfica are one of those great talent production lines who make a ton of money from our PL clubs. We should all be employing their talent spotters rather than filling their bank accounts every season.

Lucky, your post at 15.33 is pretty much what I was trying to say. You put it better than I could. Agree with every word.

Have to say, I was quite underwhelmed by Bellingham over the 2 legs. £150mil? I’m not so sure

I’ve said it before but Chelsea are ones to watch in the CL this season. Nothing else to play for and there are many similarities with their other CL wins. Poor league campaigns with a new manager having come in mid-season to galvanise a struggling team loaded with quality. It would be such a Chelsea thing to do to finish poorly in the league, win the CL then sack Potter in October 😁

Well I never knew that re the retake. Fair enough. Still a very soft initial pen
If players from both teams encroach the kick is retaken no matter the original outcome, had it only been a Chelsea player the kick is retaken if scored, if missed it’s an IDFK. If BVB players only encroach a goal is awarded if scored, retaken if not.

Give me a rest now. It’s been a tough week so far 😂. You’re right though Sean. If I appear to be downplaying what was a fantastic result for you, I hold my hands up and apologise. You were great value for the result. I’m still trying to make sense of it all. Ten Hag apparently forced the players to sit in silence and listen to the Liverpool players celebrate post match. I might do the same…

Just for good measure, we were not unlucky. All I’m saying is that everything that could go wrong for us went wrong in the space of 45mins, including a multitude of uncharacteristically poor performances. A total collapse. On another day, you get those breaks and the deflections go the other way instead of into the lap of the attacker. We brought it on ourselves though. On another day, Rashford puts that chance away to put us 1-0 up or Allison doesn’t catch that passback which he fumbled.

Sean, but it’s not one or the other. It’s not that you have to choose between bad defending or just everything falling for Liverpool. It was atrocious defending. Goal 2, awful from Shaw, but that the ball just happens to bounce into Elliott’s path is typical of that whole day for us. Not luck, no. Goal 4, of all the places the deflection can land, it lands right in Salah’s path. Goal 6, there’s 1 red shirt in the box and the ball bounces off Firmino’s knee right into Salah’s path. Our defence was terrible also. It’s not one or the other.

I know how it works Lucky. I’m fully aware it doesn’t mean Liverpool would rarely score more than 3 if you played the game multiple times. Liverpool are underperforming against their XG (before Sunday) by 10 goals over 24 games. So, they usually score 0.41 goals less than the chances they generate suggest they should. So, they’re less than an average team, by your definition. Utd, before Sunday concede around the same amount as they should vs XGA. That Liverpool overperformed on their XG by 5 goals (a 2 goal diff vs a 7 goal diff) is very much against the trend for the season. That’s not to say it wouldn’t happen again but it would be a massive swing in the trend.

No worries Sean. All I was saying was that absolutely everything fell for you. We were sh*te too, which helped, but absolutely everything fell for you and nothing fell right for us. I stand by that. Absolutely no problem if you disagree. Again, you fully deserved the result and it’s a shocking result.

I genuinely can’t see how anyone can read what I’ve written and think I’m trying to downplay the result. It’s a terrible result.

Sean, you’re completely missing my point. It was a hammering. One thing, and it’s a small thing, we can take from it is that from the perspective of quality of chances, Liverpool didn’t create that much more (7 goals worth) chances. They merely put theirs away (and more) which we were unable to do. We were terrible. No getting away from it.
