As I type this, Chelsea are already losing to Dinamo Zagreb.

Chelsea lost.

Could be the end for Tuchel.

Leipzig is such a heartless plastic club.

Losing 1-4 at home to Donezk.

Some blowouts, City takes apart Sevilla with Haaland breaking Mbappe’s record for fastest to first 20 or 25 goals.

Must admit I'm not really interested in the super league unless my little club is in it. Enjoyed seeing the clip of fofana left like he was vestergaard for the goal against Chelsea though.

Prophet.
All of America rejoices and prays the next coach plays Pulisic more :lol:

Mbappe destroyed Juve yesterday. Allegri sh*tting the bed this season. Won’t get fired though :dontknow:

He’s got the excuse of our three best players being injured but the style of play has been just as dreadful as the past three seasons

Boehly needs to hire Marsch so that all the Americans can be happy for a few weeks.

I haven't seen it yet but "best RB in the world" Trent got absolutely cooked again, apparently.

Remember I said at the beginning of the season that he’s very suspect as a defender? Today further proved my point about him, he needs to play further forward and they need to invest in a proper RB that can get forward and defend well.

We suck. The end.

As I said in the prem thread, you've focussed on attacking and forgotten that solid defence is the basis to victory.

Pool may still make it out of Group and finish top 4 in EPL.

Will Klopp keep his job then or not good enough?

Liverpool MUST make it out of the group and into the last 8. They also need to be at least top 6 but probably top 4.

If they don't get past the first knockout stage, don't make top 4 and don't win a cup then even Klopp would be fired.

Pretty much, he's got a lot of credit in the bank so his position should be fine. However this is the PL and owners are ruthless no matter what, Tuchel is on the market again so they wont hesitate to pull the trigger on Klopp if he really screws up. Liverpool should get through the group, but their group is no joke they should not underestimate any of the teams.
