It's a blow for the City game alone, the rest we should be able to handle.

Supposedly the Brazilian manager has said Ali is out for their friendlies at end of March, so thats probably why that timeframe is being mentioned on other places

He said there was the flu going around in the squad. "The Premier League side confirmed that Alisson and defender Joe Gomez are out with illness after Jurgen Klopp revealed a few players were struggling with the flu"

Making up a reason or deceiving the public why a player is out for two games

After alll the years he's managed the club, you think he wouuld pull some nonsense like that?

I'm not sure how you're perceiving it as fishy. He was ill, as were other players v Burnley, and he proceeded to pull his hamstring the day before the game. Why would there be interrogation, the training session occured after his Brentford presser

Per Jurgen - Jota out for month[s] - Curtis, too early to tell, could be weeks - No mention of Salah, Diaz, but did say some players are day to day - No return date for Ali - Trent and Dom progressing but not in team training yet

"Yet both had arrived at similar conclusions. Whereas decisions around recruitment were consensus-driven before, now Jurgen Klopp’s power was increasing." "The timing of this conversation not only reflects the condition of Edwards’ relationship with Klopp, it shows where Liverpool are in this process" "Ultimately, the appointment of Schmadtke, who shares an agent with Klopp, as a stop-gap confirmed Liverpool as a manager-led operation." All this reads to me are jabs as , Klopp being on a power trip, having more influence, Edwards leaving because of Klopp and the club willing to go back to Edwards because Klopp is no longer going to be there

Mbappe agrees to join Real, per BBC

Simon Hughes, knows fck all, continuing with his digs at Jurgen as well

You dont fit another forward without one leaving.

With Klopp leaving at the end of the season, no players are going to join when they don't know who the manager is going to be. That aside, Jota just got injured, all of our other attacking players bar Salah have been fit for much of January. We aren't the club that can stockpile attacking players to our hearts content.

Im not worriee about Bayern at all. If he wants to challenge himself at a new level, we are that challenge

If the rumours are true, hope Mo is ready for the final at least

I refuse to believe it, for my own sanity but I wouldnt be surprised

I dont think the club would try to aggravate Leverkusen by approaching Alonso without their permission or while they're in the hunt for the title.

I genuinely dont think we will. Bayern are an unstable club and havent given managers time since Flick won the treble. I think we have more of an appealing project and its a rarer chance to manage us than Bayern.

We can't afford to take risks and rotate too much either, Luton are a difficult side to play against. I think Darwin doesn't get a look in until the final, if his injury isn't too serious. Diaz,Gakpo,Salah up front, and Harvey to come on later in the game, for one of them. I thought Ryan did well when he came on for Curtis, so I'd say the midfield stays the same potentially. Think Gomez comes in for Robbo, so he isn't playing 3 games in a row.

I never like us being the heavy favorites in a cup final, I always suspected a different Chelsea would turn up at Wembley than at Anfield anyway. Lets beat Luton first

f***ing Rodri

If City play like this, they're going to get done by both us and Arsenal on the break Colvil celebrating like the game is over

Another sitter missed

Chelsea aren't surviving this

Nooooooo Jackson has no football intelligence, jesus christ Palmer made Alvarez look like a kid there

He could have taken it first time if he positioned his body correctly for one, or shot immediately after his first touch.
