[QUOTE="weasel, post: 552771, member: 14"] I saw chunks of the WH game. They did well. They are a horrible team to play against. Antonio and Bowen both missed good chances. On another day they could easily have won. Saying that, as Edd pointed out, City did miss a pen. Still, you’d have taken a point at the start I suspect. I only saw a bit of the Spurs game and havent seen the pen but the commentator described it as (something along the lines of) ’one of those that is a pen by the laws as they stand, but that most football fans aren't mad keen on seeing them being given.’ The one picture I have seen, Barnes’ hand is out, but does he know anything about it, could he react? I haven’t seen it so genuine questions. Puts the pressure right back on Arsenal. Given neither side is famed for coping well under pressure, it’s gonna be interesting. Nice to win the FAC yesterday, especially to beat that hateful shower, but the main goal is the CL. I’d have taken a 5-0 beating yesterday in return for a CL win. Sounds like initial thoughts are Salah and VVD will both be fit for the final. THANK ****. Salah has been pish since AFCON, I think he has scored in something like 2 of his last 17 games, but he is always capable of that moment of brilliance. Plus he will have a point to prove against Real. I just hope he doesnt go full greedy bastard and not pass to anyone as he tries to do it all himself. Saying that, Pool can cope without him easier than they can VVD. I rate Matip very very highly, and Konate has looked solid so far (watch both get sent off whilst shipping pens now) but it’s VVD range of passing, particularly the long passes they don’t have. With Fabinho already out until the final, Pool could do without any more injuries. The team for Tues night could be interesting. I would be amazed if Salah or VVD start. Fabinho is obv not playing. Henderson, Thiago, TAA and Mane played 120 mins yesterday (not worried about Allison and Konate has played mainly cup games) so surely those four get a rest. That leaves, Matip, Konate, Gomes, Tsimikas/Robertson, Milner and Keita plus one from Jones/Elliott/Ox, and probably Jota, and 2 from Firmino, Diaz, and Origi. Given City’s last game is at home to Villa, if I was Klopp I would be wrapping boys up in cotton wool now. If you can’t beat Villa at home with City’s squad and the title on the line, you don’t deserve to call yourself a professional footballer. And, yes, Everton are ****. Fat frank is a wanker and I hope they go down. That Atletico impersonation they tried at Anfield was enough for me to go from ambivalence towards them, to utter contempt. Given the money they have wasted over so many yrs, it will be funny to watch them get shafted by FFP if they go down too. [/QUOTE]
