Potential Chelsea-Liverpool semi-final is a very exciting prospect. Only a rivalry in Europe.
Liverpool losing 5 in a row at home is absolutely mad given what went before. Players look knackered - minimal rotation for 2 games a week since January 2018 catching up with them.

I cant express enough how much I want Ademola Lookman to still beca Fulham player when we're allowed back into stadiums. Absolute magic man.

Ruben Dias is something else. Best defender in the country this season and I can't think of a particularly close second.
Liverpool haven't been harshly done by referees this season imo, they just haven't got the benefit of the marginal calls they got last year. However, the people saying they only won the league because of refereeing decisions are being ridiculous. They won by 18 points...

Remains true. Always been better than Vestergaard. Stephens been brilliant since Saints beat Watford at home last season.
Jan Bednarek's penalty box defending is still some of the best in the league.
Liverpool looked knackered. This season's schedule can't have helped, but I think also playing such high intensity football twice week for the last 3 seasons was inevitably going to catch up with them at some point. Same goes for all their injuries.
Liverpool last few games look a bit like City did last season and at the start of this. Clearly dominating matches in terms of possession and territory, but also look like conceding very frequently. Guess it comes without a proper defensive leader.

This is a video of Paul Pogba being tripped by Douglas Luiz.

Leeds have been pretty good in general this season, but they've been utterly awful today. Can't seem to pass the ball to their own team with any consistency.
That just is a foul. I can't understand how you'd look at the trip, accidental or not, it just has to be a foul.
Sterling and De Bruyne are so good. Everything both have done tonight has been excellent.

Think it's going to be a 3-4-1-2, which always works on Football Manager. I think it works very well as a means of getting into the 2-3-5 sort of formation that is the optimum attacking formation for success in modern football.
Guardiola getting rare and going for a Formation Man special again? Hope City win just to see him pick 10 midfielders or something against Bayern.
Is it going to be 5-star Bayern, Barca hit for 6, Seventh heaven, Bayern are Gr-8, or even Cloud Nine?
If an athlete in some other sports had made this sort of rapid body transformation, people would have asked big questions.

This really is a rather good game of football. Really hope City win against Lyon, love to see them against this Bayern side!
Often seems to have worked both before and during the sack happy era. Let a gaffer build a squad before you judge them. Could take 3 years, but often brings rewards.

Ethan Ampadu to Fulham? Sounds like a good deal all round. Not 100% certain he's fully ready to play in the Prem but I'll take him for sure, especially if Fulham can't keep hold of Harrison Reed for next year

I'll be honest I've still got no idea if Real Madrid are actually that good...
