Yeah, but you could still tell the difference between a Guardiola and a Klopp team. And Alonso is safely on the Guardiola side of football.

 

Alonso has played for Guardiola at Bayern, so it's not that surprising he's picked up some knowledge and tactical approach from him.

Comfortable win for Liverpool in a mismatch.  Bradley, Quansah and now McConnell too all had good performances as inexperienced youth players.  We’ve been very lucky that Quansah has been so assured since coming into the team, and now we’re getting the same from Bradley too.

Good to have plenty of goals flowing in Salah’s absence, hopefully boosting the confidence of others in front of goal.  Plus it meant lots of positive vibes around Anfield today after the Klopp announcement.

Great to see TAA, Robertson and Szoboszlai return from injury.  And hopefully MacAllister’s omission from the squad was a precaution rather than a significant injury.  Lots of rotation again in the second half — VVD and Diaz too in addition to the three returnees.

Everton’s appeal against their ten-point deduction for breaching the Premier League’s financial rules will start on Wednesday, with the final decision expected next month.

The club are expected to argue that the punishment is disproportionate based both on the level of the breach and previous sanctions handed out for transgressions of other Premier League rules. Everton have hired one of the UK’s top barristers, “super silk” Laurence Rabinowitz KC, to lead their legal team at the three-day hearing, which will finish on Friday, with the outcome due in mid-February.

Neither the club nor the Premier League are permitted to present new evidence. The appeal will be the end of the process as under Premier League rules there is no possibility of taking the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Ok, that was kinda bad way to exit the Cup. Quarterfinal is objectively more, than could be expected. Alas, playing poorly scoring an equalizer (2:2) in the dying seconds of extra time, only to have your nominal first choice penalty taker (who converted an ingame penalty) miss the fifth penalty, which was then repeated, because goal keeper left the line too early, only for him to miss again. That kinda sucks. Esp. when the final penalty is then a converted Panenka. Bad day at the proverbial office. At least we won the league encounter at the WE, which could prove more important. Promotion > cup run.

:lol: both clowns, we're so fucked! 

 

 

 

that assumes that they are rubbish against you on purpose rather than it just being the luck of the bad decision.
