Watching my country last night WITH Haaland and thinking just the same ;-)
I'm interested to see if Pep is more willing to give youth a chance in the league next season after winning 4 in 5. Probably doubtful but I do wonder if he goes all out for CL next season.

I’ve always had the belief that we would see more game time for the academy lads the more successful we become. But then again, Pep has the chance of winning three in a row which we’ve never done before, then it could be four in a row which I don’t thinks been done before, not in the premier league era anyway. There’s also the argument that while you’re on top and dominating you can’t become complacent, taking advantage of our strong position will keep bringing the trophies in. I think the only chance of Pep giving a lot more game time to the academy lads if the Liverpool aren’t as strong as previous seasons.
On another note, that goal from Haaland last night is everything we’ve needed for two years. The guy is a freak, built like a machine and fast as any player. We haven’t really done well as a countering attacking unit these past few years, although I feel that’s down to Peps tactics, but his presence will give our counter attacks new life. Can’t wait for the season to start, really looking forward to seeing Alvarez who I thinks going to go under the radar of many yet be an absolute superstar.

This team have 4 out of the last 5 league titles, the last title by 1 point.
It would be reckless in the extreme to try and push kids who aren`t up to that level into starting a game for the first team.
That being said I`d like to see our better kids put in when we`ve put the game to bed by being 3 or 4 goals up with 30 minutes to go.

Or he could have done it when he got back, no?

Read somewhere that as well as being top scorers domestically and in Europe in all competitions, we also hit the woodwork an incredible 24 times. You would think a born finisher might convert a good chuck of those as well

No; we don't want penalties. If we get one, we need to ask the ref if we can have a throw in instead.

All these extra goals we are going to be scoring lol
We will score roughly the same amount as we usually do.....most seem to think 100+ in the league is a given, be pleasantly surprised if we make 100.

It's only just sinking in for me that we've got this kid.
I'm trying not to get too giddy, but honestly, his movement and positioning and finishing in the box are as good as I've ever seen, and the fact that he's younger than Foden and Alvarez just blows my mind. This will be the first time since 17/18 that we've had an imposing figure in our box, an imposing figure in their box, and Pep Guardiola.
And that season worked out pretty well.

It really is. An April derby away at Kellogg’s, and he nets his 20th of the season and does that finger in his ear, pointing up celebration - right in front of the stretford end.

How much good would a good chuck chuck if a good chuck could chuck good?
It kinda depends on which website you are in lol. A lot of people on Twitter and YouTube think he won't fit into Pep's style of play and that Alvarez is going to adapt easier.

He's never going to bury every chance he gets.
If that's what people are expecting then they're going to be very disappointed.
No striker ever does.
It's impossible.

All the fanny wipers on the in match thread will go into meltdown if he misses a couple of chances.
