Surely the first priority should be at DM, then a replacement for Alvarez if he goes. I’d be much happier if we used them as part of a deal for Wharton instead.

Does feel like that one - hopefully KDB can repeat what Yaya did for us that day. I still miss peak Yaya at times like this, despite the quality of Kev, Phil, etc.

If Villa lose tonight, Spuds will have a big incentive to beat us - I think they’d be favourites to finish 4th going into the final day. Maybe them coming out and being positive would help us, but I’m still hoping Villa lock down 4th tonight.

They were very negative that day, but history will judge if it was the right call. Getting just a point could win them the league on GD, or cost them the league if we win the next two. Hopefully the latter and Arteta spends the summer regretting his lack of courage.

This is not going to help our cause re their game with the Arse. He is clearly limited, but probably a better bet than the rest of their CBs (maybe bar Varane). Evans and Casemiro, anyone?

A chance to turn up the pressure for sure. Not so sure about the rags. I know they're garbage, but they are unpredictable and have goals in them. I'm sure Klopp will be twitchy about this one.

He was easily the best player on the pitch - massive positive from a flat game.

We had no width for most of the game yesterday (bar Gvardiol), which made it easy for Arse to flood the middle and crowd Haaland out. Grealish made a big difference - he must start on Wednesday if he is fit enough.

Villa are not in great form, McGinn is suspended and Watkins may well be missing. If we don’t win that one, we’ll have a mountain to climb. I think we’ll beat them comfortably.

I think LFC’s results against the top 6 are worse than ours, and they’re top.

Agreed, but I think Kova next to Rodri could have given us that - big mistake by Pep to start with Alvarez (who was poor).

I know what you mean, feels inevitable that they’ll keep winning, but don’t forget they failed a big test at AFC recently. Against the better teams they are vulnerable, particularly with their injuries. CFC bottled it today (no big surprise with Poch), but what I took from that game is that LFC...

Terrible news - the guy was a proper legend on here. Thoughts are with his family.

There’s about as much chance of Klopp going to the rags as there is Pep - never going to happen.

Completely agree - having him in midfield is making us vulnerable. I’d consider starting him out wide tomorrow as we are short on options without Grealish/Doku, but then we miss his potential impact off the bench which we had earlier in the season. Going to be interesting to see what Pep comes...

Roll on us getting to 40 points, eh? Then we can relax

FFS. From the Barella/FDJ excitement to this.

Crikey. Eze would be massively underwhelming.

de Jong above all others for me - he would be ridiculously good in a Pep team, does everything. Rodri, de Jong, KDB/Foden = a dream midfield.

I’m sure that will be the clubs primary focus, but getting info out that will damage/discomfort the PL and the shit stirring clubs makes perfect sense to me. Making neutral fans (rightly) question the objectivity and competence of the PL will help to balance the scales. We don’t need to do it...
