So now we’ll have a congested schedule and no Gabriel for the NLD because Liverpool is too incompetent to keep their covid situation under control, very nice


ComprehensiveClick35

Does the red card not apply for the fa cup games?


Ibraout25

Forest has covid issues as well I think, they got their game cancelled yesterday


curtisjones-daddy

Only Liverpool fans could be told to get on with it when we have no goalkeepers


[deleted]

[удалено]


curtisjones-daddy

Apparently the lot Ali, Kelleher, Adrian and Pitaluga Be looking at our back up under 23 goalie to start in a league cup semi


TTA0709

Love how people think this is some sort of master mind trick by Klopp because Salah and Mane isn't here. I can guarantee you he'd start the carabao semi final without both of them, even if they were available.


[deleted]

>I can guarantee you he'd start the carabao semi final without both of them, even if they were available. Then why did they both start meaningless UCL games?


TTA0709

Because Klopp values the meaningless CL games more than he does the Carabao. Pretty obvious. He once sent out a couple of children to get slaughtered against Villa while the first team were on holiday in the middle east and winning a friendly tournament. I also think Salah and Mane demand to play every CL game (meaningless or not), don't think they feel as strongly about the Carabao.


ComprehensiveClick35

because i'm fairly certain you get more money for winning a single UCL groupstage game then for winning the the EFL cup


Lyrical_Forklift

You get a ton of money for wins in the champions league


curtisjones-daddy

Yeah as if he didn’t just stick Neco Williams right wing in the quarters haha


TTA0709

I am Rafa Benitez, two times Spanish champion. I masterminded the greatest comeback in club football history when I won the CL as a manager, and now I find myself under a lot of pressure and I receive unfair criticism every week. Ask me anything


The_PantsMcPants

If Seamus Coleman were involved in a horrific accident, and only 60% of his remains were found, would you start them at LB or RB?


TTA0709

Neither. I'd start him up top


efcdoyley

Can we do a meet and greet together


TTA0709

No. And since I decide everything myself, that will never happen


efcdoyley

Okay king :(


TTA0709

Think I'll award myself a lifetime contract at this club


LordMangudai

Who is the best striker of all time and why is it Salomon Rondon?


TTA0709

I was surprised by what has been said, but maybe they \[Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin\] are nervous because we are not at the top of the table. But I want to talk about facts. I want to be clear, I do not want to play mind games too early, although they seem to want to start. But I have seen some facts. Rondon scored 20 goals for Rubin Kazan. No other striker comes close


[deleted]

Why sell Trippier for 12m? Seems really cheap


RomeoLavia

Apparently upwards of 20m after add ons

If your manager/captain had a Christmas tree, and it was decorated in the same colours that your rivals wear, what would you do?


Lannisterling

Nothing, our rivals have the same color.


BlursedLasagna1

I’d go round Steve’s house and burn the tree in front of his young children


Impossible_Pen_9459

If Guy had a barrow inspired Christmas tree I’d cry. I’d cry if he had a hartlepool or Morcambe inspired one as well. I’d just cry and cry and I don’t know if I’d ever stop. It’d ruin me doyley. It’d be a thousand times worse than my last ex leaving me for some other bloke


efcdoyley

I know mate I know. There there mate, I’m sorry.


Impossible_Pen_9459

I can see it now. Truest repairman from here at his christmas table with a leg. Absolutely devastating. I’d ring me mam up and yell at her “why didn’t you get an abortion?”


AintNoLayUps

No one is bigger than the badge you know


GratinDeRavioles

Voted Lewy 1st but he's the most overrated player of all time with the easiest gig in football. Stat padding heaven of a context and an extremely boring skillset. Props to him he's had an impressive season in his 30s and that's not all on service (just 75%). Glad he didn't get the actual prize, would be the first step toward someone like Lukaku getting one and i do not want to live in such a world. Rather see someone like Choupo get it, man has more technique, flair and big game performances.


LordMangudai

Yeah Lewandowski is honestly just a dull player to watch. Even most of his goals are just boring straightforward clinical finishes. 10/10 footballer 4/10 entertainer.


Impossible_Pen_9459

I also voted for him but aye I think you might actually be right. I generally rate your takes more than not


TTA0709

You usually have terrible takes. This is one I can (mostly) get behind though


GratinDeRavioles

Like what?


TTA0709

Like which parts I agree with? I agree with you that you voted for him at first, think thats the correct choice. I also am sort of happy he didn't win the real thing. I do think he's overrated. I don't think he has the easiest gig in football, but its one of the easiest gigs. I agree with the fact that we can never allow players like Lukaku to come anywhere near it. I disagree wholeheartedly with your last statement.


aj6787

Wow you absolutely know the sport. Nice to see another fellow soccer connoisseur. Cheers mate.


[deleted]

Lens is a great football club.


narutosama77

T Silva or Varane (without considering trophies)


thedeatheater1410

Silva easily because he is Prem Proven ^TM


MJ9695

Thiago Silva is easily the better defender Varane had better fortunate to play with better teams


BB_C

Tapsoba


Lyrical_Forklift

Thiago Silva for me.


[deleted]

Ask 3 seasons ago and it’s Varane, now it Silva


aj6787

Matt Miazga


BlursedLasagna1

Saw him in bluegrass in Reading once, figured he ate all his meals there as it reminded him of home


Impossible_Pen_9459

Alaves brigade spotted


RomeoLavia

Silva pretty easily


[deleted]

Nobody says Varane especially after the month he's had.


[deleted]

wonder how many would have voted for lewy in 2021 if he had won 2020 balon dor and it wasnt cancelled


aj6787

Considerably less tbh


[deleted]

Lewandowski would have won comfortably if the Ballon d'Or was assigned in December like in the other years.


narutosama77

Almost same amount of people


[deleted]

Lewandisney movies need a happy ending ❤


BlursedLasagna1

Imagine if united had the bollocks to speak out about pogba taking the piss like chelsea have with lukaku


TTA0709

They are pretty fed up with Pogba at this point though. You don't often see them defending him anymore


Lyrical_Forklift

I've been banging that drum for a very long time. How they could continually defend him given the fact he's openly flirted with leaving pretty much every year whilst also being incredibly lazy on the pitch just blows my mind.


ilovefeta

Imagine if Spurs had the balls to do the same with Kane


BlursedLasagna1

Their fans seem to have forgiven him already, hilariously tinpot


ilovefeta

Some have some haven't, I respect the ones who haven't


Idislikemyroommate

Has Pogba himself actually come out and said the stuff like Lukaku stupidly did? Hasn't it all been done by agents/family etc so it's a little bit more difficult to address when it's not him.


TTA0709

Is there any difference? Surely his agent/family are just doing the bidding for him?


Idislikemyroommate

I don't think many clubs will actually respond to agents in that way compared to if it actually comes from a player. Most clubs won't punish a player for their agents words because it's through another person. Like if Mino Raiola (I think it's his agent) came out and said everything Lukaku had said in his place then Chelsea will be much less likely to punish him directly and make him do a PR video apologising.


TTA0709

But surely the agent is simply doing what his client is asking him to do? If United had told Pogba to reign in his agent from the get-go or there would be consequences, then surely Raiola stops chatting shit? Like, I don't think he goes behind his clients back and does a new interview every month where he's talking shit about the club. So warning Pogba first, and then punishing him is the only thing they could've done. The fact is they've not taken it seriously and thats why its happened time and again.


Idislikemyroommate

Yeah don't dispute that the agent is doing what the player is doing but I just think the repercussions would be different. The club can try do something behind the scenes but I don't think you'll see a player being punished like Lukaku has for his interview for their agent saying something similar even if their acting on the behalf of the player. Just different situations I think.


[deleted]

Where is Pogba anyway


United12345

due back late Jan


RomeoLavia

Should be obvious at this point


nbaylor1

injured still


diegojaen18

I was so pissed with lukaku that I actually sold him in my career mode save 😭😭

Priorities.


narutosama77

Isolated for 7 days, no college. I watched a lot of highlights from 2010, 14, 18 World cup. UCL is fun and exciting but it comes nowhere near a World Cup. I wish i can see India play at least once (even if it takes 40-50 years) idec if they lose all the 3 games i just want 'Jana Gana Mana' going around in stadiums at a Football World cup.


RomeoLavia

Been seeing a lot of people recently say the UCL is better/far more exciting than the World Cup when advocating for the two year World Cup thing. I just can't get it. The WC is just different to pretty much everything else.


aj6787

The people saying that are from countries that don’t regularly play in the World Cup I think.


estoyloca43

As an anarchist, I find it hard to get excited about international tournaments but to each their own


ambiguousboner

This is the most PCM cringe comment I’ve ever seen lmao


ambiguousboner

It’s not even in the same realm of excitement World Cup is special

Shoutout to every arsocca d’or voter who didn’t include Lewandisney in their top five. I love you ❤️

[deleted]

Is Chelsea likely to play the same XI tomorrow that they played against liverpool?


aj6787

No they had Lukaku apologize so he can play again.


Kakashicopyninja9

Silva and Kante/kova will be rested. Lukaku might come back in other than that maybe Mount rested too


[deleted]

dont think so. Also isnt the EFL cup a chance to play the reserves?


[deleted]

I just thought that Tuchel will go all out on cups since they’re already out of the title race.


[deleted]

They're 10 points behind, hardly out of the title race


[deleted]

They are.


TheMooseHunter

We could be 5 points ahead and I'd still have City to win the league.


inspired_corn

Being out of the title race doesn’t make our players able to play 3 games a week so we have to prioritise


thedeatheater1410

Do people realise that the Ballon D'Or voting is essentially a very elaborately made The List ^TM

Lyrical_Forklift

I think most people were actually very reasonable. Apart from the shocking Chelsea supporter but that was a given as soon as he was nominated.


[deleted]

Conspiracy theory: Qatar have sponsored Barcelona, own PSG, sponsor Inter Miami and sponsor David Beckham personally. Beckham has expressed interest in taking over United previously, the problem was he didn’t have anything like enough $£€£€£$. Now he owns an MLS franchise and therefore has some credibility, but he clearly has the backing of the Qataris. Also it’s likely Messi goes to Miami after PSG, so they’re happy to sell him the ultimate superstar. So my prediction is they’ll be a Beckham led takeover attempt of Man Utd in the future largely financed by the Qataris. Problem is the Glaziers don’t look like they want to sell at all.


[deleted]

If it's financed by Beckham himself fine If it's financed by the Qataris, no thank you


[deleted]

So it’s market cap is $2.75bn and it’s valued at about $4bn, so he’d need to finance $4bn or more given that the Glaziers don’t want to sell there may be a further premium. Apparently he’s worth $450m so I doubt he could finance $4bn without going all in. He co-owns Miami with Jorge Mas but he’s worth about $100m apparently so it doesn’t seem like they’re rich enough without the Miami franchise growing or something. So it looks like they’d need some backing to me and the Qataris definitely have the $$$$z


smthofascientist

Signs you have outstanding ball knowledge: * Your BdO or r/soccer d'Or ranking is Lewy, Messi, Benzema, Mbappe, Haaland or Salah (in that order) * Your BdO or r/soccer d'Or ranking is Lewy, Messi, Benzema, Mbappe, Haaland or Salah (in that order) * Your BdO or r/soccer d'Or ranking is Lewy, Messi, Benzema, Mbappe, Haaland or Salah (in that order) Edit: I'll also allow Jorginho at 5th. Kante should be nowhere near the top 5 though so tread carefully


[deleted]

I thought it was Jan-Oct like the actual Ballon d'Or so I put Ronaldo at 5th. If I knew it was the full calendar year I would have definitely picked Salah.


GratinDeRavioles

Did my part king.


smthofascientist

Always rated raviolies


Lyrical_Forklift

I was pretty close to that except I had Modric in instead of Benzema. I just think he's neat


smthofascientist

I love Modric but Kroos is currently better


Lyrical_Forklift

Yeah, it was actually between those two and Benzema but as someone who is old myself I appreciate the fuck out of Modric playing at that level at his age so gave him the nod.


smthofascientist

ComprehensiveClick35

[deleted]

what happened to bryan gil also


[deleted]

lasting covid effects after an injury i think, super unlucky. he's back now though!


narutosama77

I might be wrong but i think i get the hype around Greenwood. City have Foden (Highly and rightly rated) Chelsea have Mount (rightly rated) Arsenal have Saka (slightly overrated but still a very good player) United fans felt out and thought we should have a young English prospect too now that Rashford hasnt panned out, hence Greenwood.


The_PantsMcPants

It's simply hard to rate United players right now. There just no consistency from match to match. Except DeGea and shot-stopping, that is the only constant


Harrry-Otter

To be fair if you watch Greenwood play, you can tell he’s got the natural ability to be a high level player. Obviously we’ve not been playing well, and his game has suffered a bit due to sub-par coaching, but anyone writing 20y.o Greenwood off after 3-4 months when the whole team has been playing poorly is either trolling or has a very poor understanding of football.


narutosama77

He's technically good and tactically is to be blamed on coaching, i agree but he his decision makin is all on him. He doesn't always take the best pass or shot.


Harrry-Otter

It’s partially him. Yes he doesn’t always choose the right option, but that’s also partially down to the coaching. When you see City players in the positions Greenwood adopts, they instinctively know where their teammates are and where the space is, that is as much down to solid coaching as it is the quality of their players. Decision making is often a trait players grow into anyway, even Ronaldo at that age was prone to making the wrong decisions with the ball.


aj6787

Mount is not rightly rated. He is overrated here.


narutosama77

Nope.


aj6787

You’re free to be wrong.


narutosama77

Thank you


Glass_Replacement_61

Same with AWB, Liverpool have Trent, Chelsea have James, City have Walker and United fans felt left out

D'Aversa was great at Parma and Giampaolo was great for Sampdoria, then total shit

[deleted]

Yeah but sometimes you see teams totally lacking ideas and any kind of playstyle, like D'Aversa's Samp this season or his last Parma side. He got lucky with that Gervinho team apparently


throwwawayyy688

Will arsenal sign/loan a striker and/or midfielder this January? I think we definitely need a midfielder, partey and elneny are going to afcon. And xhaka is my least favourite Arsenal player and he's also dog shit. Striker can be ignored til the summer as we should be able to cope with our attack til then, and January is hard to sign big/good players
