Liverpool Leipzig at Anfield screams over to me. Surely there's another goal in this game.

Yeah it's funny how one performance can shift the window for perception so much. Two bad giveaways from Leipzig and now Liverpool is in commanding position to advance, and the quarterfinals don't start for ~7 weeks so they have a lot of time to get healthy(Fabinho/Jota), get guys in form(Alisson) or up to speed(Kabak) and maybe make a proper run at the final since the only big landmines out there are Bayern and City.

PSG? I mean, if you can consider Liverpool a contender, you have to consider PSG one. Also, Athletico - did you forget last year already? I will be shocked if Liverpool gets anywhere near the final.

I don't mean to imply it's a foregone conclusion or particularly easy, just that outside of Bayern and City, if Liverpool do get back into form over those ~2 months, none of the other remaining teams I would consider clear favorites against them. Which stands in stark contrast to the justifiable negativity of how their winter has gone domestically.

I’m 100% rooting for PSG solely because of Poch. Never really liked Neymar so I always enjoyed them bombing out in spectacular fashion but I want Poch to win a major trophy (and I don’t count any of the French trophies because PSG wins those every year).

that makes sense as it allows the inverse as well.

Dest getting thrown under the bus for not stopping Mbappe. Seems pretty harsh to me as he was not at fault for any of the goals and even slowing Mbappe down 1v1 is a big ask.

the article I read didn't say ruled out so much as undecided. Basically it implied the club wanted to keep him but he might demand to leave. meh.

Thomas tuchel is a wild man

 

I would have said that CHO is like the main dude who has benefited from TT most so far and then this.

[imb]

i have no idea what's going on with the lineup anymore. I think tuchel really hates the strikers

[wolf stansson]

 

 

Damn

[wolf stansson]

 

 

Pleeeeeeease let this happen. CP going from one of the least stable to the MOST stable (not “one of”) club in the world would be incredible.

Jeez that seems like best-case scenario for everyone.

 

bayern gets a young american winger

chelsea gets more haaland money

bayern games are all on espn+

pulisic goes to a system where he fits

 

i cant see bayern spending $70 mil or whatever the article said on him though, not after this last year

Yeah, as much as I would like to see it, Bayern typically doesn’t pay EPL prices unless it’s a local guy like Sane. Plus they aren’t really short on quality wingers with Sane, Coman, and Gnabry.

Ah, I was too lazy to double check if one of those guys might be on the way out. Still, not quite a weakness, and maybe even more of a situation where Bayern might not pay the price tag since there isn’t a gaping hole.

yeah it seems hard to believe that bayern would hit that asking price (obviously these early transfer stories always come with ridiculous price tags attached) but also that Chelsea would accept much less than what they spent. Their DoF has taken a lot of grief over all the spending last summer with little return for it, but she is a good negotiator.

Judging by the score, it was another stitchface special today in the ManU-Chelsea game.

yea, it really was. neither team was good enough to handle the other's pressure. Chelsea went the "skillsless" midfield of Kovacic, Mount, and Kante - meaning none are particularly adept at holding on to the ball. They had no offense in the first half. ManU just isn't good.

screw phoenix.
