Erm, 2 English teams played tonight....:D

No they didn't. Two teams that play in the English PL played tonight. Liverpool had three English qualified players in their starting line up (AA, Henderson, Milner) and Man City also had three (Walker, Foden, Grealish). Two fantastically talented teams played tonight in the CL representing the PL but there's no way you can call them English teams.

I know the North West is a very strange place. But it is still in England.

Sorry, your right, one is from England (representing Qatar) and the other is from the socialist republic of Liverpool. As you were.

I love it when the masters of the dark arts get a taste of their own medicine, its so sweet?

I admire Simeone and how he goes about playing football. I’d love him at Liverpool, the hatred would go up another level?‍♂️

Trippier’s reaction to Milners Elbow to the face was hilarious too. Oscar winning performance.

Lpool dominating possession, ripping them apart in the first 15 minutes, them getting back in to it with counter attacking, good saves from your keeper, 2nd half started brightly and as I said, definite red, but changed the game.

I totally get apart from the result you may of been nervous, but as a neutral it was a great game.(y)
Nervous is an understatement.
Just don’t understand Simeone they looked a really good side when they came out and played.
But he plays horrible football by choice.

Peter Walton ?‍♂️
Just saw this. I wonder how much BT pay him? Absolute useless contribution. Or, useful to show how clueless professional referees are at times, and potentially how arrogant they can be in not admitting they may be wrong.

If the Atletico player was not there, of course Matip would have attempted to clear the ball.

Nah very similar, both had their eyes on the ball.

But the reaction times were different.

Griezman tracked the ball raised his foot, Bobby was instantly there.

Mane was running for the ball, could probably see Ederson in his peripheral vision and had time to pull out.

I said Mane's was a red at the time, still is.

At the speed Mane’s challenge happened I disagree.

Both were reds though.

Ah, you want a name. It depends where the club are aiming but if it was me I'd go to Rangers and get Gerrard.

Gerrard has won 1 domestic trophy out of 9, and that was due in a large part to Celtic's spectacular self-implosion last season. He really isn't anything special as a manager and has done nothing to be linked with a high-profile EPL job.

Not that I want him but I’m surprised the king of relegation scraps hasn’t been mentioned until the end of the season. Big Sam

That's the thing, this season is all about staying up, nothing more. Tried and tested has got to be the way to go, get someone who knows how to get as much as you can out of a mediocre squad between now and January, and bring some proven quality in then.

I've not had to suffer Walton for a while but he is a complete and utter oxygen thief. All he ever does is back the refs and try and justify whatever horrible decision they've made. Ref's union and all that. I'd love to see a compilation of the times he actually disagreed with the decision and expressed his own view on it, it would be a very short video. He seems terrified he'd be throwing a fellow ref under the bus if he had a different opinion.

I thought he'd more or less retired. Plus he's been at Newcastle already and it didn't go that well for him, he's probably not that keen to go back to the North East. Then again money talks I suppose.

Didn’t he take his last club down? I don’t think we need Big Sam. A decent manager with half a tactical plan will do enough to get us out of the relegation scrap. We will still be in a mess come Jan as got an awful run of fixtures, but expect we will kick on from there with a new manager and a couple of signings/loans
