Today's Football 2016 / 2017 Season

[nsno-chris]

Lallana/Mane/Courtino/Frimino cost nearly 100m mate

Lukaku and bolasie cost £56m. What's your point

 

[nsno-chris]

Should have been 2

Its not just that though, City, Utd etc have all spent more money and have much better quality but Liverpool just don't give you a minute. The fitness levels are very impressive and he's made Henderson, Lovren and even Milner look very good. They only have Coutinho and Firmino who are top players- he's getting the best out of the rest.

I'm not doubting that, I'm throwing the money thing in there because someone compared how we play to them, Like it or not money buys you better players who 9x out of 10 will produce better football

Our midfield 3 behind Lukaku last night cost 10m (Kev 10m, Barkley Youth, Valencia Kinder egg)

Lallana cost 25m on his own, In fact everyone of there midfields cost 20m +

Two players in our entire squad cost over 15m

They spend 20+ on nearly every position, Money talks

I see Pep's h/t team talk has made a difference - they have just carried on where they left off

Mr Kinder Egg died yesterday. Rest in Pieces.

Zero plan B

He's Martinez with a better squad

Yes, on the ball of course. I'm talking about the way they play, like men possessed. They work hard and close down all the time and when they do win the ball, they rely on the quality to do the rest.

Andy Carroll cost £35m, just because you spunk money doesn't guarantee anything. These were crap with virtually the same squad, they now have a good manager and look a total different proposition

...I suppose it's still only 1-0 so you never know.

Suppose its different when you have the slow build up but know Messi/Xavi and Iniesta can speed up the play on the flick of a switch, same with Ribery/Robben etc. His City fullbacks are dreadful, Toure isn't interested unless he's facing the opposition box and Fernandinho isn't Alonso.

As much as this City team has cost, they are similar to us in that they need quite a few players.

Bar what happened last season the teams that spend the most money win the leagues/cups

Chelsea/Utd/City/Blackburn/Arsenal

So I get your point that spending it doesn't mean you will win it, But you do have to spend it to have any chance

 

[nsno-chris]

Piss poor attempt

Be interesting to see how that pans out next season with 2 games a week

 

[nsno-chris]

Oh so close

Come on city
