Conte

The Mailbox is high on Spurs after they beat Man City but a Liverpool fan reckons the Champions League is heading to Anfield. Also: are Jurgen Klopp and Pep ...

Of course, the French circus act know as PSG and The Great Mbappe will still occasionally sweep into town and and gatecrash the English only party, but will they even get their day in the sun, untold wealth yes, but will they still continue to attract the top players? In the real covid season,there was actually a simple fix when we muddling through the mud and that was simply returning Fabinho to midfield and trusting the unproven center backs. In or out of the First XI, Klopp needs to kelp him rediscover his mojo. the money is there no matter how much the club cries poverty it’s black and white in the club accounts. There’s a lot of backwards & forwards about how well Klopp has done during his time with Liverpool in this current (disastrous) run of form, so am I the only one who has a lot of sympathy with the ‘net spend’ argument that has been a part of it? The players are expected to do the pressing and tracking back in a more limited zone of the pitch. In the hunt for CL qualification, 3 (winnable) PL home games on the trot and 2 of them against teams we despise who are having a nightmare, plus a CL knock-out game against an out of sorts AC Milan sandwiched in there to boot. Defences have improved generally, most teams from the midtable up (and some below) all players have adapted to the Mourinho philosophy were all players are expected to track back and Klopp and Guardiola’s technique of pressing from the front. Rotation will be vital the deeper we go into the Champions League and we now have enough players available to keep the squad fresh. He is twice the player Haaland is and there hasn’t a defence in Europe who will fancy playing against him. He is for me the greatest striker of his generation and a Spurs legend who will be remembered fondly long after he retires. We’ve played them over 180 minutes in the last few weeks and outplayed them for 135 of those minutes.
