Atticus Finch

I wouldn't read too much into it, they did the same for Sebastian Coates and offered a happy retirement to Fabio Borini.

Even if PL clubs voted for unregulated funding, there would still be a need for clubs to comply with UEFA spending rules in order to play in those competitions - and I really don't see why European clubs (except PSG) would want to do that, as would be to their own disadvantage

Once a blue, always a blue

We tried. Everyone kicked off

I'm not sure that is the right mindset. We got to watch Jurgen and his great football team. They didn't win everything they should have won, but the journey with them was magnificent and if anything the lows made the highs even better

What about the fit and proper owners test? Clearly showed they are neither

To go with less obvious choices I'd take Anderson and O'Reilly. Two problem positions and two homegrown players

I want them stripped of their titles and relegated. Less bothered about the titles being awarded to us - the period of the charges doesn't cover all the times they prevented us winning something and we will never get back those opportunities to celebrate in the moment

Ridiculous descriptions of him. He probably isn't Liverpool standard, but has been a useful part of teams and squads that won trophies. He clearly lacks pace, but if he were in a team that didn't require that from the role he would be fine. 18 months ago he was player of the tournament at the under 21s. There is clearly a good player there, even if he doesn't fit with what we need

Looked a harsh red there

Suzuki does look very good, especially with his feet

Regular as clockwork that story. Must get good clicks the number of times they roll it out

Senior England player exemption

Needs to take lessons in workrate from Koumas We need to get the ball to him early and in space

Very special this lad. Passes better than most midfielders. Imagine if Leoni turns out to be this good as well

He clearly should have been much much stronger on their goal, but it did look like he got blocked by a combo of their lad and our defenders. Couple of great stops though during the game, including one at 0-0

Jacquet's passing is better than either Dom or Grav

What I think it does show is that the Bundesliga is a farmers league at this point (see also Frimpong and Keita), not sure I'd be shopping there much

With the possible exception of Jacquet no-one impressed today. Why is Wirtz getting so much stick? The players behind him are incapable of getting the ball to him in the right area

Looking very leggy. Shows the problem with lack of depth

It is the sort of approach that led to us getting good money for the likes of Bobby Clark

It'll never catch on

He's basically been injured for 2 seasons, how is anyone supposed to know?

Was impressed by his willingness to track back. Wasn't expecting that The finishing will come with more sharpness
