He's a legend but been past it for a few seasons now. Looks like he's going to be an undisputed starter under koeman as well. Shame.

Don't agree with this. He has been poor for his usual standards since the 2nd half of last season and so far this season, but we wouldn't have won anything without Messi in 17/18 and 18/19. We won a double and were very close to a treble those 2 seasons.

VVD's tackle was normal in the sense that it wasn't reckless,out of control and endanging the opponent. Have you seen anyone ever get a red for the tackle VVD did? Pickford's was out of control and reckless.

Should have known better than hold a real Madrid player's shirt in the box. Was always going to a penalty once var got involved.

His 1st real test and I'm not impressed. I don't know why he waited until the 80th minute to do a sub. Then he plays dembele on the left, where he is useless. Doesn't look good for future games if we need to change things around.

It's reasonable. Even though he's declined he still offers more than griezmann, dembele and trincao. we'll see what happens. If the club proposes this and he accepts, he'll sign an extension. Otherwise he'll leave in the summer.

Messi has declined, even the most die hard fans have to accept that. I don't think his form is just because he wanted to leave.Time catches up with everyone. He had over 10 years at the top which is exceptional.

Hope he's on the bench today. The team plays better without him.

My opinion isn't based on the media. I watched the game and I'm calling it as it is. If you don't want to accept my view, that's fine. Although, to me it seems your bias towards Everton is clouding your judgement. I'm pretty sure Everton fans would be complaining like LFC fans if the roles were...

The challenges still aren't comparable imo. The challenge by VVD was a normal foul, possibly a yellow card at most. The majority of people agree that Pickford deserved a red.

Hindsight is 20/20. Of course nobody knew kounde would turn out so good, but we don't give ourselves a chance as we only go for defenders that are super cheap or are super expensive. It's never mid range players with potential that can make the jump to world class. I know the whole team has...

The board have screwed us with the finances. We should have bought kounde before he went to Sevilla, but our board were too busy looking for the next Galactico. Upamecano for 40m is a good price, I believe fofana who went to Leicester for a similar price is a good buy. We spent a similar amount...

I know our style is possession based, I just don't see the reason why we can't buy an athletic defender that is decent on the ball who can improve on the ball the more he plays. It's not like we need our CB's to be able to play defence splitting passes. Once you buy a slow defender, he isn't...

Agree. So do Liverpool. There is a reason why they're the 2 best teams in the world.

What is this obsession with slow ball playing defenders. Pep at city and us always go for these types of defenders. Both teams play a high line and it causes massive problems.

There is a massive difference between VVD's challenge on James and Pickford's on VVD. Tackles like VVD did on James happen many times every game. Pickford's tackle was a leg breaker.

I meant this season. All the other attackers have scored or assisted. Griezmann just passes the ball back.

Even a lower salary is paying too much for him. He hasn't even contributed to a single goal yet.

True. He definitely won't want to have less ballon d'Ors than Messi when he stops playing.

I think he will play better if he was playing next to a faster CB. Him with pique is too much of the same and way too slow for the high line we play. I wish we had kounde.
