Not saying they're unbeatable, just saying Liverpool aren't gonna do it.
King Luis
Football is a crazy thing, just look at the Prem this season
Grimnir
True, look who sits second and what Dortmund did to them! Don't get me wrong though, I would like Liverpool to win the Europa League as the last British team in the competition this season.
If City finish 6th and Man United 5th (let's say West Ham nick 4th) and neither of them win the FA Cup - would that mean United would finish above City but not be in Europe?

Tottenham basically threw that match though by not playing their best lineup, cant see Klopp resting anyone for the Europa League

Yeah, fourth place would lose their CL spot and drop into the Europa League.
King Luis
Yup thats what will happen if we both win
bluemoon.
At least one. Tosin Adarabioyo played alongside him in the FA Cup against Chelsea. He was better then, I fail to see how he wouldn't be better now. I absolutely do not expect Pellegrini to make that change though, to say he plays favourites would be a massive understatement.
A silver lining at least.
The job Pellegrini's done on us has been incredible.
I've been trying to tell people for ages!
Unfortunately the only person who really fits the bill there is Brian Kidd, and he's a bad manager in his own right.
Anyway, that went about as well as I expected. Though a little bit more slapstick than I thought and not as many goals either.
Pellegrini's a disgrace etc etc.
Sam
He had no chance at Villa. A complete mess.

This makes me hate Newcastle even more! What a horrible club!

You mean in addition to the throw-in that Sunderland took?

Aye, that's proper weird. Odd chap he must be.

Same, strange decision to accept it.
He'll be hoping that everyone will just know Villa are a shambles from top to bottom and so his reputation won't be tarnished too much.
Ninja
Won't it?
No doubt they were a shambles before he turned up, and are a shambles after he's left, but nevertheless they looked better with Sherwood at the helm. He took over in, what, November? And have only got worse since he's been there. Whether he's most culpable for their demise or not, and you'd be hard pushed to argue he has been, he's clearly culpable and has done a very poor job.

His reputation will definitely be slightly tarnished in England but I reckon he'd still be able to secure a good job in France.

But about 2p net.
They only just stayed up last season and sold their best two players without replacing them. Hardly the recipe for success.
VP.
£50m should have been enough to replace a striker who had scored 13 goals last season and a slightly above average midfielder. He brought in far to many different nationalities in one go and it was fairly obvious that so many at once were never exactly gonna 'gel' very quickly. Then add to the fact that it turned out none of them were actually any good either and the club had no chance this season and nor did any other manager taking over from Sherwood.

Their wage bill went down about £4m over that summer so it seems a classic case of not wanting to stump up the cash to get a better calibre of player as much as it Sherwood being a poor judge of player (I also have no idea how much influence the manager has signing players there, from an outside perspective they always seem to go after the same sort of players, suggesting that the manager might not be in charge of transfers).
Poe
Strange that we're occupying 19th and 20th in the table isn't it.
