Course it should be allowed when it’s merited. Which it is today. Everything he could have got wrong, he did. Our one saving grace is that Pep’s legacy is now on the line. If Liverpool do the quadruple then Pep’s legacy will be rightly overlooked by Klopp’s.

Get Phil wide left, Sterling wide right and Jesus up front. Put Grealish in the middle and see what he can do.

Liverpool have been excellent but not any better than we were in the first half of both league games against them. Yet the big difference between both sides is clear for all to see. We have the most ineffective and tame forward line of any top side in Europe. Grealish, Sterling, Jesus are the...

I know Pep likes to mix things up but this is the most square peg/round hole selection I’ve ever seen from him.

Simeone showed why he is one of the best coaches in the world over the two legs against us. He gambled on making 180 minutes of football a 45 minute shootout with him having the home advantage. It very nearly worked as well. I don’t like his style or football but I can appreciate the job he’s...

Why Grealish isn’t on the pitch I’ll never know. We can’t keep the ball and he’s the best player we’ve got a drawing in fouls and keeping possession.

He will soon become an indispensable player for us. I think his long-term position will be central midfield for us where he can properly impact the game. He has all the attributes, he can retain possession, pick a pass and drive forward with the ball etc. I also have this feeling that he has...

We still don’t get enough credit for what Pep’s side achieved over the two seasons. We went from being Centurians with a league cup win to winning a domestic treble and amassing 198 points over two seasons. Pundits said that to be considered great you have to win back-to-back titles because...

When you put in a brilliant performance and still fail to win it can feel like a loss. Especially in a game like this. Before the game I’d have taken a draw all day long. After the game it feels like a missed opportunity that we could come to regret.

I don’t think the rule is stupid, but it’s implementation with VAR definitely needs improving. I also think it’s being manipulated to get the outcome that the refs/PL favour. For me, it’s all about the frame they use for the offside image. It’s needs to be consistent but it rarely is. Some use...

Which is why Harry Kane is the perfect player for us. He’s a striker who’s good enough to play a false 9 as well.

I think it’s more than just a striker we need. You go back to our previous title winning squads and we’ve always had 3/4 big game players. What I mean by that is players capable of producing match winning moments in the biggest games. Under Mancini we had Vinny, Kun and Yaya, whereas KDB took...

But they are clinical and ruthless and we are not. Personally, I think that will be the difference.

I’d make Liverpool favourites now. They won’t drop many, if any, more points this season. Whereas I think we’ve got a couple of performances left where our attack will fuck up again. I hope I’m wrong though.

Twice this season we’ve been brilliant against Liverpool. We’ve played them off the park for the majority of both games. Pep has got everything right. However, the fact we’ve failed to beat them says it all. We have to be 100% at all times to score whereas they can score from nothing. Before...

Forward line let’s us down once again. It takes the absolute piss how many times we piss away chances in big games. Mahrez wants fining for what he did at the end. On par with Aguero’s shite penalty against Chelsea last season.

So wasteful. All the hallmarks of the game against them earlier in the season.

Think we could come to regret not getting a second goal and killing off the tie last night. That said, they are there for the taking when they come out of their deep lying formation and the only threat they really pose is on the counter attack. Luckily for us, we have the best defender in the...

Insane finish that.

You’ve got to have balls of steel to utilise that game plan. Some of those shots he took on his back were brutal.
