Mane is 3/4 rungs up the ladder from Nunez, Klipperty had a gamble on him and failed...£64million doesn't buy you that much these days 😉 

Mane was in his prime at Liverpool. Núñez is only 24. A bit of perspective is needed. Núñez has come up with some crucial goals for Liverpool this season, scoring last-minute winners at Newcastle and Forest. He was also the first player this season to reach both 10 goals and 10 assists in the Premier League, which is usually reserved for KDB or Salah.

Crazy talk.

Liverpool have got some brilliant players - Allison, Van Dijk, Salah, McAllister and Robertson would get in any side in the PL.

Jota, Konate, Szoboszlai, Trent and Diaz are all top quality too. 

City have a core group of world class players in Dias, Rodri, KDB, Foden, Walker, Bernardo Silva and Haaland (Stones, Gvardiol and Ederson are top quality too) but I don’t think Liverpool or Arsenal would look at Akanji, Doku, Ake, Alvarez, Grealish, Bobb, Lewis, Nunes or Kovacic as players that would improve them.

Don’t think you read my post. 

The wonder of Klopp is he remains almost competitive with City in the league with a far weaker squad. Of course Liverpool have some great players, TAA probably the best footballer and - until his injury - Robertson was outstanding. But Virgil is past his best as a defender and Salah is as inconsistent as he is brilliant.

On the statement in my post,  Nunes, Gakpo, Diaz,  Gomez, Matip, Jota would have no game time at City. Liverpool have done well to produce Jones, Elliot and Bradley but none of them would catch the eye of the City scouts. None of them is comparable to Foden.

Very surprised you don’t rate Doku. On the left he is a force of nature who makes Grealish look ordinary - why he’s playing on the other side is a mystery.

Portsmouth, one, Barnsley one

I’d take that. Portsmouth will go out celebrating their promotion, take their eye off the ball in their next game and lose it. And then we’d go into the last game with a snifter of a chance of being the champions. Maybe that pressure in the last day would get to Portsmouth and they’d lose again.

if they lose this one, they’ll go all out in the next game to secure promotion. No taking their eye off the ball. And it’ll be all over by the last day. I like a last day with something riding on it.

imagine what a weird bittersweet feeling of being promoted but not winning the league on the last day of the season, by virtue of two defeats, having led the league until that last day.
