3-0 now. They wont get relegated, but they can forget about Europe. Klopp might very well get sacked though
Watched Toulouse vs PSG.. wanted to see how Van den boomen fairs in big games and vs a team of psg magnitude who were missing neymar , mbappe and Verratti. while offensively he was constructive as ever and often pulling the strings when with possession, pretty much like Veerman, in defense his flaws as a deep lying midfielder was pretty much evident. I think this is where frenkie simply is on another level. Break downs, closing down marker, covering up etc. Scored a smart goal from a free kick just outside of the box to give Toulouse the lead but with PSG dominating possession, it was tough ask for Toulouse as a team to sustain the onslaught especially when psg were penetrating using the inside channels. Again this was where the Toulouse midfield struggled and conceded both goals from hakimi and Messi both cutting them open and scoring sublime goals. Not entirely his fault but he didn’t look authoritative defensively as he looked offensively. Set pieces he looked dangerous as ever and will and can score goals and provide assists but that’s pretty much you can ask of him. I think this is also where he is better than veerman. Not sure you can count on him to track back defensively especially when playing as a deep lying midfielder. Again pretty much in the same boat as veerman. Dallinga came on in the second and while it was going to be hard for him to get serviced in this type of games, he did bring some spark upfront. Was once released by van den bommen clear on a through ball, raced well but his final shot of weaker left was easily saved by Donnaruma. Few touches here and there apart from that. Looks like a decent striker if serviced well can be decisive. Fast as well.

If City get a point deduction they can forget about winning the title BREAKING: Man City charged by Premier Leaue with numerous breaches of financial rules following a four-year investigation.This is unprecedented: pic.twitter.com/ZGzdX210qP— Martyn Ziegler (@martynziegler) February 6, 2023
Thomas van den Belt received a yellow card for a remarkable incident. Young Ajax players sweared using swear words with cancer after they missed a penalty in the dying seconds of the match. Thomas: "I don't know if I should say it, but there were some guys who scolded with cancer," the PEC midfielder said in front of ESPN's camera afterwards. "I didn't think it was neat, that's why I said something about it, but in the end I was suspended because I am the cause of a disturbance," says Van den Belt, who believes that this kind of name-calling does not belong on a football field. "I heard someone say that and then I walked up to him. I asked, 'why are you doing that?' Maybe a little with a nudge. Then the referee gave me yellow. I was already a bit annoyed, but yes, my fifth yellow card, which I also like. Anyway, as a referee it is also difficult. You can't do much with it if you don't hear it yourself, but this just doesn't belong on a football field. But maybe I shouldn't say anything more.''
They have to relegate City, or give them a heavy point deduction. They can't just fine them because that's the equivalent of giving Bill Gates a parking ticket
The lower division leagues like Championship and League 1 are under no obligation to accept Manchester City if they are kicked out of the EPL
So I learned today its up to an independent commission to determine what punishment City should get. Its not a decision that the English FA makes. Link with more info: https://archive.vn/8mpL9 Dont expect a final verdict until the end of this season, or even the summer

Allright, as much as I hate Real Madrid, I have to give them incredible respect for what they pulled off tonight. Coming back from 2 goals down, at Anfield no less. Huh???!!!!!!! However, I want Gakpo to succeed so bad!! I hope he recovers!!!!!
I reckon danjuma would have suited liverpool better. he is good dribbler and more technical than gakpo. wonder if pep Lijnders would have recommended him to klopp. this should also put an end to all those whom wanted Gakpo should to start up front.
He has always played like that. He one player whose skills and physical abilities have not decayed. One wonders how long he can play on.
