They are offering him £90k a week he wants over £100k it will be sorted and he will stay at City if it's only down to money.

Yeah you would think City will do everything to keep him considering how young he is. He's already a top player.

I don't get it? Is it because there are general sale tickets available?

Ya, it's not particularly funny. I don't think the person who said it was their new favourite meme knows what a meme is.

I don't think he knows what "funny" is either unfortunately.

Liverpool tickets sold out fast, Man City can't sell their tickets is what they are getting at

Oh yea.... Hahahaha :pac:















It's not funny. They might have a small few available and I doubt there will be any unsold.

Very quiet here today :

Looking at the Guardian's team of the season just now - Robertson, Salah both in. Firmino ahead of Kane. The love for Bobby is spreading. That said, the article was written by a Liverpool fan.

internelligent

Feels like a crazy long international break. Going from feast to famine with the 6 nations and Salah's demolition of Watford to friendlies nobody cares too much about coupled with the anticipation of the CL quartet finals...... It's seriously dragging out!

I love Ham-eys Milner...

Always dread playing Palace. They have a nasty habit of screwing us up. They already let in injury time winners for Spurs and United so if they take points off us Saturday it would be just typical.

Was only a young fella watching them beat us in the Cup semis with all the set pieces and I think Alan Pardew got the winner that day and I recall shedding a few tears.
And then the same git went on to get a fair few points off us as a manager too and now its good auld Roy in charge, and then theres the ill fated game against them when Rodgers had us going for the league, although it was fairly much over after chelsea game but still.... Nasty memories.

I really strongly dislike playing them.

Hope we're at it tomorrow because it would be very easy to let focus slip a bit with the City game on the horizon but we really need to win this one with Chelsea still on our heals and if it plays a small part in sending Palace down then personally I'd consider that a bloody bonus.

That first goal by palace there...

And there was people hinting that our bad defence was a myth or exaggeration.

BorneTobyWilde

Win against Palace V win against City. Which is more important. Will we be resting players for City game.

Gomez out is a killer , Sane will destroy Trent,
Fingers crossed no injuries on Saturday ,I think we will draw 1-1

Im not so sure about that. Gomez has made quite a few mistakes (more than Trent?). He has been caught out in big games too (Spurs).

Trent had a bad game against Utd but he has been quite good in general. Unless Clyne plays the whole Palace game It think City 1st leg is too soon for him.

AH ye its way to soon for Clyne, so it'll be Trent, I just think Trent had a run of easy games that we dominated and he looked great, I think at this stage Gomez is a far better defender,
Anyone think maybe Karius has the game of his life against his former team,

Gomez has made a number of errors this year (Arsenal, Burnley and City all spring to mind)

Both are learning their trade and both are making mistakes and unfortunately both have the potential to be destroyed by Sane (as does any fullback)

Liverpool will play both City and Man U on a 3 game pre-season tour of the States this summer.


We play City in New Jersey on the 25th of July and Man U in Michigan on the 28th of July.

Trent will be fine for the home leg imo. More mobile, and a better RB overall than Gomez. They both make mistakes, just different kind of mistakes.
Gomez more suited to games where we're defending more, Trent for games where we're attacking more.
Trent home, Gomez away for me. (depending on the first leg result)

Dunno what you're on about, I can assure you that you're incorrect though.

"The poster" lol

Gomez is a lot more mobile than people give him credit for I think, very fast along the ground, and very quick to react. I'd say there's not much between himself and Trent in that regard to be honest. Trent definitely better in their half, but Gomez definitely better in ours.

I've seen Gomez error against City being mentioned a few times... I went through it at the time, but I really can't blame him all that much for it. The biggest complaint was his position, allowing the ball to sail over his head, but looking at the actual positions at the time, he was in a decent position for covering multiple options. It's no surprise that Sane was right out by the touchline, because he was providing space for KDB to go through the middle. Gomez obviously saw KDB and adjudged the simple through ball to him to be the bigger threat, as Sane would still have to beat him 1-v-1 if they played it long anyway. So he made sure to cover the ball to KDB, and when they went long, he was there to cover Sane. Now, Sane beat him all ends up with his first touch. But that happens. Sane is top drawer. Gomez still managed to get back into a covering position a second time, and showed Sane only the near post that Karius should have had covered, but of course Sane squeezed it past him.

Gomez still made an error - but it was in being beaten by Sane's brilliant touch than being necessarily out of position (as was the main complaint). If anything it's Matips fault that Gomez had to cover the through ball, as he was was out of position over by Lovren, double-covering a run from midfield.

A mistake, but not the level of fuck up it was reported as at the time.

Big big loss for this game imo.

The image shows up huge, so i won't embed, but kind of shows what i'm talking about. Matip being where he is makes Gomez have to cover the whole right side of the park. If he was in position to win the ball in the air, the whole centre of defence would have been exposed.

Not really sure there's anything wrong with Gomez's position there.

He just lost the flight of the diagonal.

Which he has done many times this season leading to the opposition scoring a number of goals.

A large part of me thinks that the reason there is no decision announced on where he is going is because he will end up going to another PL club, which can't be officially signed in advance (despite the fact that Bayern seem to manage to announce agreements in advance every year in Germany).

I’ve had a feeling for a while now he will end up at City.
