Match Day Thread Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

1/4 of the season gone.

City lost to spurs, beat chelsea and drew with us. They've drawn with eest ham and lost on pens.

I think it's safe to say they are beating up on the crap still but grealish hasnt improved them at all and theres a gap a mile wide in the front line.

The mean defence pep built is keeping them in it. Otherwise I'd not back them to win a thing this year.

 

KDB back after injury now though so will improve that team massively.

 

UEFA have released their club rankings:

1) Bayern Munich
2) Man City
3) Liverpool
4) Chelsea
5) Barcelona
6) PSG
7) Real Madrid
8) Juventus
9) Man Utd
10) Atlético Madrid

 

I want number 1 spot. I want to win the PL and CL this year - no exceptions ...

 

Get out there Jimmy. It's down to you now, me lad.

 

How are Man U above Atlético?

 

How are Barca on the list…?

 

True. It's so out of date - maybe Dribs drew it up?

 

What's in a name?

 

How are they even on the list

 

is this eura club coefficients?

In case people missed this one but man utd reached the europa final and semi finals etc they get more points the longer clubs are in competitions.

Bayern are top cos they have reached finals and won it in the 5 years but are also consistently in QF min.

Barca are in there cos in 18/19 they were in a semi final. lost to someone.

we are 3rd cos we reached a final and won the CL. the last 16 loss made a big dent for us. last season we got the 20 points for QF. We will drop down the list fairly quick as the final and win drop off.

the difference between top 10 and top 20 is not that much either. its last 16 type level to last 8 level which kind of makes sense.

 

I think we're mostly just taking the piss...

 

Xavi has reportedly agreed to become the new Barca coach.

great player but we all know that means nothing. It would be more credible if he’d already managed in a better league. What could go wrong?

 

Maguire interview is hilarious. They still don’t know why

 

Silly boy, he'll be chewed up and spat out there

Jurgen Klopp responds to Joe Gomez questions at Liverpool
Jurgen Klopp admits Joe Gomez faces a battle to regain a regular centre-back starting role because of the "top class" options Liverpool now have in the position.

Gomez made only his third start of the season in the Reds' 2-0 Carabao Cup fourth round win at Preston North End on Wednesday night.

The 24-year-old is likely to again drop to the bench for Saturday's visit of Brighton having been limited to just two brief substitute roles in the Premier League since returning in the summer from a serious knee injury suffered while on England duty last November.

Joel Matip has instead been the regular partner to Virgil van Dijk while £36million summer signing Ibrahima Konate was impressive when alongside the Dutchman in the 5-0 Premier League win at Manchester United last Sunday.

And while accepting it is a difficult situation for Gomez, Klopp wants the defender ready to seize opportunities that come his way.

EFL QF draw gave us a home tie v Leicester

 

I have the feeling that we're going to play West Ham.
