He is a talented footballer but you get a hell of a lot more time and space in Germany and he looks overwhelmed by the physicality here. He has looked better in Europe so far. It depends on whether he has the stomach to fight for his place and put the hard yards in to get into better condition than he's ever been in.
Could just as easily see him taking the easy option and fucking off to Bayern for half what Liverpool paid in the next couple of years.

the premier league is littered with young lads who came from the bundesliga for big cash and flopped

sancho
kagawa
mikitaryian
havertz (to a degree)
Timo Werner
Keita
Pulisic

Thats 3 really really good performances in a row against teams who should have caused us problems. I love this formation and the freedom the 3 behind haaland have. Pep reinvents again.

Suits our CBs too not being so high up the pitch. Change of tactics and suddenly Dias is looking like a top quality CB again.

I think hes been badly advised and picked a team that don’t play his way at all. The transition from klopp tactics to slott tactcis is going to be ugly.

Hes much more a pep type player.

Wirtz is quality. Just the wrong player for the wrong team sort of thing. I think he'd do very well with us.
 
First half outstanding performance.....the passing was excellent through the midfield was superb.

Second half a bit sloppy...still some good moments but we took our foot off the pedal a bit.

Doku, both Nicos Bernardo, Dias outstanding.....work rate was phenomenal.

Thought unusually. Gvardiol was sloppy eith his passing into midfield.

Doku the outstanding player....he really has stepped up this season...motm with nico g a close second

Thought their goal should havexstood but I actually don't think it would have much difference ....scousers we're very poor and long may it continue
 
What a performance. Great atmosphere all the way through as well. Doku sensational, Nunes top drawer, Dias organiser in chief, Bernardo so intelligent with his passing and movement. Both Nicos were excellent as well.
We just need Gvardiol to up his game to make a really solid back four.
Congratulations on Pep on your 1000th game - a fitting win and performance to mark your milestone.
Knew it was going to be our day when Salah missed that chance - he never normally misses those against us.
 
Pep got it spot on, played the game to expose their weak points and not play into their hands for once and we made it look simple in the end. Little tweaks like haaland actively cutting off supply to VVD and forcing konate onto the ball are details we don't typically see, that has ljinders inner know how all over it for me, he knows their weaknesses better than anybody.

We were fantastic in large parts, mainly first half but most of the second half, especially once it went to 3 we dropped off and gave away many really good chances that the dippers inexplicably failed to convert.

I'll put that down to us playing the scoreline though. At 2 and then 3 up we didnt need to be dominating, just had to keep them out and we did exactly that. Just need to work on prolonging our good periods in games. The pleasing thing to me is that is nowhere near the highest level we can reach, feel like there's at least 2 more gears for us to find and that's before adding Rodri back into the mix.

Statement result right on the heels of arsenal dropping points is exactly what we needed, they'll have 2 weeks to shit the bed every night thinking of us coming up behind them now. Hope pep sends him a friendly text during the week, arteta comes across as the type who would let that eat at him all week. Wibble wibble Mikel.

Nothing will ever come close to the Madrid 4-0 for best performance this country has seen but that has to be
right up there for best ever PL performance.

They say "serendipity" is the favourite English world in the UK and I've discovered this afternoon why.

I said a few times here I don't see this group of players as a serious team competing for anything.

And this bald fraud decides to show me what a moron I am.

Sitting in my corner, ashamed and extremely happy.

Cannot wait for January to be able to come to Etihad and see games again.

Don't you mean serendipity? Roll on January for you
