Same happened with the Fulham game , sickness bug but it's poor

Our first team is excellent however the back up isn't really there

Used to lose with Moyes but only by a goal that's 10 goals shipped in 2 defeats

Yes we have only lost 2 in 10 I think it is? But still the manner of the loss is ridiculous

However if we get the same response Saturday as we did the Thursday and Sunday after the Fulham game I'd take it

I thought the sickness bug occurred before the Fulham game and were healthier for the european/wolves game?

It did indeed , however apparently it's still doing the rounds and different players etc

However all that said manage it better

Coufal has now played 3 games in a week when kehrer has had about ,3 mins

Used your squad

I've seen some turgid performances from Moyes's teams over the years,often with lesser quality sides but that was arguably #1.

For 70 odd mins they never looked like having a shot never mind scoring. The tactics were a carbon copy of ten Haags on sunday.

He often gets lauded as a great manager by his mates in the press aswell.

Embarrassing wasn’t it ?

I Remember when he threw a league cup quarter final at Arsenal a few years ago..
I’ve never forgiven him for it but this was bloody worse .

Coward.

My hope that is that it will never go ahead, simply because the fans (in England at least) will never back it, and end up despising their clubs if they proceed with it anyway.

If that is the case, the news might be a good thing, as the decision hurts FIFA and UEFA. They just feel as corrupt as hell.

Considering the virus in the squad how can you call him a coward without knowing just how many were effected?

 

[Fade and Die]

Blokes a man with a thousand excuses, was a bug against Fulham too but we looked ok against Freiburg and Wolves, now another dross effort and it’s back to the excuses. He blames everything and everyone except himself. He set us up to lose.

Since opening the upper tier of the Anfield Road Stand, do you think Liverpool have also changed the cuisine from burgers and pies to prawn sandwiches?

Could Kehrer have been one of the players feeling slightly under the weather?

The worst part of all this - Oliver Glasner was keen to take the job....and we've given it to Nuno because his Agent is best mates with Marinakis, so has done him on a backhander to make sure his clients are kept happy.

Not the first time our recruitment has been dictated by Jorge Mendes. Awful.

The best 2 and a half years of my life supporting this club whilst Steve Cooper was here. I'll never forget it.

I remain hopeful for you that he becomes your Dean Smith.

Will always have hero status at Villa Park for getting us back up into the prem and the turnaround of the club.

Cooper deserved better and I've yet to see a Forest fan happy about this decision.

Theres a rule now that English sides cant join breakaway leagues and remain in the English tiers.

German teams wont go either.

So you have Italy, France and Spain.... Thrilling - not.

Never going to work.

It will happen, as it will be the TV money the three nations you list want. European footy is jealous of the Sky money going into the PL, and now that they can’t fund their top teams with National Bank or Conglomerate money they want a piece of the TV pie to be able to compete.

Not including English sides it wont.

You seem to skip over the part that they made it illegal for it to happen.

Laws can and will change , or they will just leave . They are already in court to challenge if uefa and FIfa have a monopoly, the outcome could be bigger than bosman

In all seriousness, can we see English teams leaving the Premier league to join a European Super League?

When it was proposed last time, it seemed abundantly clear that 99.9% of their fan bases hated the idea. Certainly in England, in which the teams quoted as being the ones who could leave are already doing pretty well (financially at least). Maybe it ,ight be a bit of a different story for clubs who are struggling financially, I don't know what Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juve fans thought about the whole thing? Although it's weird to think of them struggling financially, when it appears they still seem to be able to afford players like Bellingham and in the market for Mbappe.

I'm not saying the Premier League will be around for the rest of time. But any significant changes will surely have to be supported by fans. If not, clubs could leave to join some manufactured league, and then we find out fewer fans engage with it.

But the law has changed. This year - to make it illegal.

A European super league is only possible with the strongest nations included and both England and Germany's fans are too powerful to let them join.

I am not so sure. Let us say an investment organisation, Let us say PIF as an example, offered each club a billion pounds a year to take part as well as ticket cash etc. There would be a massive impact on home support yes but would the global support care what league they were playing in etc.

This will be the true indicator as to whether football has been totally sold to investors, if the clubs look at overseas money and fans over home support then you have your answer

Lets take Liverpool for example.

You think the club earning a billion would make their fans think oh yeah sound lets just never win the English league again and just compete weekly against Real, Barca and Juve......

Stadium would be empty, no one would care about the results.

They do care about beating Everton, United etc.

Is the Champions League not just a Super League in all but name? Just about a closed shop, rewards for the clubs failing to qualify for the knockouts by letting them play in another competition?
