Match Day Thread 2017/18 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Is he going to start tonight?

 

I'd say yes, based on Klopp saying he's fully fit, otherwise he'll be aware of the yet more speculation that will follow if he doesn't play, that the relationship between the two has broken down completely.
Klopp has obviously given him time to sort his head out, but we know he's played twice and scored for Brazil during his fake injury.

 

He'll be on the bench at the very least.

 

He played less than 45mins in total over 2 games.

I think the give away maybe the deliberate attempt to show how happy he is in training.

He's done whatever... 3/4 days training so imo he will be on bench but with mane out at weekend he has GOT to be coming in for that.

 

Salah sent home, not well.

 

The Mané ban good be a bit of good luck for Coutinho. That, coupled with the dismal performance against City will mean that we'll want him back in asap.

 

So did you watch his two appearances as sub?

I did and posted during one of the two(can't remember which), but there was **** all wrong with him and he proved that by his movement on and off the ball, let's not forget, the Brazilian doctor (who just happens to be Couthinho's mate)said his back injury was more phycological than physical.

 

Ffs!

 

I hope they get found safe and well mate.

Don't know what went on with him. Got one of those alerts from 90mins or whatever it's called earlier saying he had throat infection and was sent home so as not to spread it, now he's playing tonight

 

They didn't miss him sitting out

 

Back to Celtic. The issue they have is that he refuses to change his style when playing the big teams. you have an amazing atmosphere from the fans and you rock up to the pitch thinking PSG are Dundee and you'll get 60+ percent possession and walk it.

PSG are top 5 in the World and it's disrespectful to the fans to treat them like any other side.

 

Tottenham vs Dortmund game looked good, could have been 5-5. Dortmund keeper makes Mignolet look good though

Harry Kane interviews are always classic, the definition of gormless

 

The hypocritical FA getting desperate, it's not who it was aimed at its the fact that it's classed as an obscene gesture.
The FA themselves have fined/banned players for making gestures and they don't consider context when making judgement.

Yep let's see how the FA respond when a player flips off the crowd/TV camera and says it was aimed at him mate #banter

 

Cologne given just 2,900 tickets for their game against Arsenal, but they've brought 20,000 fans over.

Thousands of German football fans brought parts of central London to a standstill ahead of their team's Europa League match against Arsenal tonight.

Some 20,000 FC Cologne supporters have come to London, briefly bringing the West End to a halt as they marched down Oxford Street.

It is the first time in 25 years Cologne have played in an international club competition.

The Met Police said they were unaware of any trouble so far.

The Bundesliga estimated around 20,000 fans had travelled to the capital to support their team.

It added only 2,900 tickets had been allocated to the away fans for tonight's match at the Emirates stadium in north London.

In a statement police said: "At around 15:00 BST on Thursday, 14 September a large group of football fans gathered in Oxford Street.

"The group was at the location for about 30 minutes whilst they boarded public transport to travel to a football match this evening.

"They did throw bottles and let off flares, but there was no significant disorder, police were on scene and there have been no arrests. The group has now left the area."

Don't blame - first time in 25 years who wouldn't want to at least feel you were part of it

 

Sure he will be punished. But now it won't be as harsh as a player who is of lesser importance to the team.
