Yeah there looked to be a serious lack of effort and they could not cope with Napoli’s energy. Liverpool will be destroyed by City if they put in a similar performance 

The midfield needed that injection of energy after the tough run so the keita injury is a massive blow, hopefully hes not out for too long. 

[The Nal]

Fair play to Spurs last night. Gave it a go. But really should've been 5 nil down before they scored. 

This guy is a journo apparently.

John Cross is notoriously shite.

Keita was dreadful before he went off last night, so I was sort-of glad to see him get injured. I know just about everyone was playing badly, but he seemed to be by-far the worst.

(not saying he's a dreadful player btw - I'm just talking about last night).

[Wooderson]

John Cross. Jesus wept what a berk.

[The Nal]

"Surely his best performance". 

Genuinely had to read that a few times before it sank in.

Tottenham with an uphill task now and Liverpool's group all the more interesting after last night's result. Some decent teams will fall into the Europa League when they fail to make it through the Champions League groups.

They'll need to win both games against PSV to get back into contention of progressing, and even then it's gonna be a tough ask. I think Liverpool's group is very dependent on the games between PSG and Napoli, with the rest of Liverpool's games falling between fairly easy fixtures they should be well positioned by the time those return games are played.

Ross Barkley returns to the England squad and there are call ups for James Maddison, Mason Mount, Jadon Sancho, Nathaniel Chalobah and Harry Winks. Bold move from Southgate.

Yep. Scoring goals in limited playing time, would have made my squad. 

[WS_Jack_III]

Newcastle are down already I think.

 

The Ashley circus continues, took the team out for Pizza then does a sly V sign to fans chanting 'Where's the money gone' outside.

 

Tells you everything you need to know about his thoughts on the club and the fans.

Maddison's call up well deserved.

He's leaving out players who aren't getting game time such as Delph, Lingard and RLC.

He’s an Arsenal fan.

I sure Klopp is very happy. One sure way to get him injured is to send him off with England!

Is it that bold? It's not like great players have been left out.

Are you working on the assumption he is guilty?

[WS_Jack_III]

Mike Ashley issues a strong rebuttal  of claims he made a two-fingered gesture via a statement: "I did not make a 'V sign' to anyone.... It is hugely disappointing, given the reason why we set up the meeting, that a story is being created out of nothing"

Championship player in Mount, young Englishman abroad in Sancho and someone with hardly any PL game time this season in Chalobah. Bolder than what we've experienced in the past from England bosses.

It's a serious allegation. If juventus HAVE to comment on it, I'd say that's not the best way to do it.

I don't know if he is guilty or not. Neither do juventus.

Isn't that related to who else is available for different managers to pick. My guess (without doing any research) is Southgate has less established players getting regular football at top sides than his predecessors.

I would say the best thing is not to comment at all,they no doubt are panicking about their investment.

It does however concern me that many people are judging Ronaldo innocence on whether they like him or not, who needs evidence or trials in this social media age!
