SG registering as a Villa player in time for the weekend fixture.????

A god, controlled performance from the 'second string' players( 9 changes from FA Cup) as we beat Southampton 2-1 at their place to keep the pressure on City. Went a goal down early doors (again!) but once the lesser spotted Minamino smashed in the equalizer, the result never looked in doubt. Joel Matip got the winner halfway through the second half. New defence? not a problem for young Konate who gets my MoM. Bobby F also did well and looks fully fit again. Only downer was a knock to Gomez who left the ground on crutches, wearing a protective boot. Hope it's not too serious.

Scans not required as yet for Mo and VVD which is good news for the CL. I do expect a lot of changes from Saturday tomorrow night though. Fabinho progressing well but not available at the moment.

Villa is a possibility. No idea why Leicester is favoured.

Charity Shield is scheduled for 31st July against City. Venue not yet decided but Leicester's ground appears favourite at the moment (bit bloody small!) Definitely won't be at Wembley.

Very similar to the League Cup victory with both teams missing decent chances but our lads eventually prevailing in the shoot out. Diaz was once again tremendous, tormenting James/Chalobah with his skill and pace so gets MoM from me. TAA shone both attacking and defensively and Alisson was his usual unflustered self saving the crucial penalty in the shoot out. Konate dealt with Lukaku's physicality easily (only a 22 year old btw) and looks set for a great career. Only blips were injuries to Salah and VVD but both seem to think they'll recover in time for Champions League if not before. It's been a fantastic journey this season and it's not stopped yet????????

Sorry mate.....only 10 match gameweeks count for HoF

Scores are up. Great week for Jockstar who got 50 points. Closing the gap in the Overall to just a mere 7 points. Gonna be another tight one. Owlseesall was runner up on 45.

They had better get used to it. Don't see them usurping you guys for a loooooong time. Mind you, they are bringing in Schteve McLaren so you never know????

A great loss to the Celtic thread. R.I.P Salty.

Beginning to look like Fab will not make the Cup Final at the weekend Hopefully he will be ok for Champions League. Hamstring strain.

Keep sticking five in the other end and you shouldn't have to worry too much????

Erling Haaland when Pep 'overthinks' his starting XI in the Champs League and plays Nathan Ake up front????

Had to come from behind yet again but this time we managed it without too much fuss thanks to goals from Matip and Mane. Decent game to watch as Villa certainly didn't lie down. Couple of changes to our XI with cup final on the horizon. Diaz on the right (I prefer him on the left) in place of Salah. Mane was MoM for me and only downside was what looked like a hamstring injury for Fab. Have to wait for a scan but he must be a big doubt for the weekend.???? Anyway, the 'fat lady' ain't singing just yet????

post removed as not relevant to this thread

Barca want him as well allegedly. Contract talks are planned for the end of the season is what I'd heard

Or not....as the case may be.???? Christian Falk @cfbayern· 14h NOT TRUE is that Bayern is working on a Transfer of Sadio Mané. The Player was no topic in the Talks between Salihamidzic and Bezemer of Mané‘s agency „ROOF“ at Mallorca on Friday

Bad News.......Chelsea want an english spine so are considering a bid for Harry Maguire! Good News......The rumour is coming from Richard Keys so it should be safe to ignore????

Yep....Been on the cards for a while but now looks certain. Despite Mr BJ's preference, the Sheik's quest for the Champions League goes on????

Firmino could get some game-time tomorrow. No other injuries known as yet

Ronnie should get the credit.....He put Liverpool to win big as his banker....and we all know how accurate his predictions are!????

Ah well....two dropped points at Anfield. Although our pressure was incessant, our final ball let us down allied to great defending from the Spurs defence. Nobody played badly but the blocks put in by the Spurs CB's were outstanding (don't think I've ever seen so many in a single game). We could only get past them once and they protected Lloris for the rest of the game. For me, the MoM should be split between the three of them. Now we need City to mess up 'big time' .....but there is always hope in our hearts????
