We've done our transfer business before the pre-season, there are no major issues. Let's start on a high and enjoy this season more than the last.
Idk if it's possible to enjoy it more than the last ngl, it was so unexpected how well we did last season that every win felt massive. This year we're actually having the title for our goal, gonna be a lot tighter on margins
This will be an interesting measuring stick to start off the season.
Tbf last year Liverpool won it and then immediately started shitting the bed
Crazy how little Liverpool has done this window. 2 new midfielders and then let 2 go to Saudi Arabia. FSG said they were good after they won the champions league I guess.
Yeah at this rate they're fucked. They're probably signing Lavia tbf but still
Be interesting to see what team pep puts out. He's historically played weakened teams
I mean, last year he put out what looks to me like as close to a first XI as you get with pep lol, I'm not expecting him to be loose on us — especially considering the FA cup game last season. We rotated and they didn't. This is gonna be full strength I think, and I'm ready to win a fucking trophy.
Rice, Ødegaard, Partey midfield according to Goldbridge, whom I take with a huge grain of salt but this seems likely enough.
havertz F9 then
Ugh I'm working today so I'm going to miss it 😢
isn't it a sunday everywhere where one would be working at the time of kickoff?
second monitor? :p
Haha I wish :D I work in retail unfortunately
Benny blanco RB Timber LB
I think this game is going to be surprisingly direct from both teams XD
I said Havertz at false 9 and they called me a madman. Honestly, I'm disappointed. It's a 65 million pound regression. He better produce.
