I really don’t think Eddie would be suited to the England job, he needs to work with his players on a daily basis to install his ideas, only seeing his players once every 2-3 months probably wont work out for him
You think Southgate is going to step down? Hes going to be there until we have a really bad time.
Nah, he would be good. Hes just a good manager and if the players do what they are told they will get results. We have a great team currently that is just hamstrung by a weak manager.
Based on what? How is that different to any other manager in the league?
At this rate Howe will be getting a new deal. If any success comes this year he defo will, and there will be no chance of him sniffing at the England job. Anyway enough of that.
Cloud 9. I've watched the game back twice now and as good as we're were PSG were just awful. Their best player being a 17 year old, still amazed as to why Mbappe was hugging the wide position drawing Burn into places he could roast him 1v1, he never really did anything all game.
It almost looks like ignorance that they came with 4 forwards thinking they would just beat us because they had some better individual talent. They lost the game in the middle of the park, Howe just had the better tactics. Enrique's seemed bon existent.

Its not that its a downgrade, its that hes a young manager and hes on a good trajectory at the moment at a club on the up. The England job is always attractive though. Especially at the moment with the strength of England and the general weakness of many of the traditionally top international sides. If you win a major tournament with England you will be immortalises.
I'd certainly say that the England job is more attractive at the moment than it has been for a long time. We've got a strong team at the moment, Walker, Kane, Maddison, Grealish, Foden, Reece James, Rice, Saka, Bellingham. We've probably got the best chance of winning something than we've had in ages. If Southgate does indeed go next year, then whoever comes in has 2 years before the 2026 world cup, at which time many of the current squad will be at their prime ages. The chance to be the manager who leads England to a World Cup victory, on the 60th anniversary of the 1966 victory, will be very tempting to many managers.

That was a weird one in the Brighton game
VAR advised the ref to review the handball but when reviewing the incident, the ref decides there was a foul on the Marseille defender first so awards the free-kick to Marseille, rather than award the penalty. It's just another example of the negative impact VAR has on football - even watching on TV it was hard to understand what was going on, imagine what those in the stadium were thinking.
Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Quansah, Tsimikas; Endo, Elliott, Gravenberch; Salah, Jota, Nunez
Substitutes: Jaros, Mrozek, Gomez, Van Dij, Diaz, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Jones, Robertson, Matip, Chambers, Doak
I was expecting Doak to start tbf.

With Kelleher injured I was expecting one of the young keepers to start
