Liverpool v Man City....who's watching this?

[gru]

It's our dross though! Only mega money football I watch apart from paupers compared to them Roth U It's England men in major finals then you see how good players are without their club foreign mostly world class players teammates.

edit... without their club foreign mostly world class teammates. Should have read.

That probably explains why you have such little knowledge about football. You should watch a bit more, you might learn something.

The Irish will win.
Some races will be fixed.
That's all.

Two wonderful managers, leaders and outstanding at man management. Liverpool will miss Klop, a lovely genuine guy, he comes to adidas a lot and spoke to him once at one of his visits, he was so happy to spend time talking to people and came across as genuine and authentic. The way that Pep managed the Debruyne situation in the game yesterday was first rate, both clubs are very lucky to have such managers.

Another unbelievable statement.. england are full of world class players at the moment ... yesterday best players on the pitch .. Kyle walker .. Phil foden.. Harvey Elliott.. ..and a goal from John stones ..

Walker can defend but at world cup finals level not good enough going forward. Foden for England not worked up to now. Then the likes of Maguire Trippier Henderson Philips shouldn't be there. Bellingham Kane can't win the world cup on their own. Like I said most of the England squad it flatterers them at club level cause there isn't enough of the same quality in the side when they play for England.

I don't think Englands problems are the players, we have a squad of outstanding players, the issue is we have a bureaucrat as a manager, he is perfect for what the FA want, says the right things politically happy to wave whatever the flag is this week but not the quality required to get those group to actually win something. Quite a few of those players a(and the ones on the fringes) have won things with England, won't happen at senior level with Southgate as manager.

Quite right

Southgate's managerial record is poor.

We've had managers with better statistics than him

There are two managers with a better win percentage than Southgate (62.6%).

Allardyce with 100% (1 game, 1 win) and Capello with 66.7%

I was referring to his record before being given the England job

Football it's still the same you have players that make things happen they need back up with solid reliable players. At world cup finals level no room in the squad for nearly or were good enough players.
