I'm about 99% certain if they had bought Kane they would have won the treble. Can have all the attacking midfielders they want but in later competition someone who holds the ball up and wins fouls up the pitch like Kane does is invaluable.

And (whether fairly or unfairly) I judge City and Liverpool slightly differently, simply because City are run in a different way to Liverpool, financially. City's net spend is way higher, therefore any gaps in the squad feel more self inflicted.

They've also sold the likes of Coutinho (£121m), Suarez (£73m), Sterling (£57m), Torres (£53m)
I would put Liverpool in the same bracket at Man Utd or Chelsea.
You can claim they're 'more sensible' than Man City sure. But the idea they aren't free spending is false.
I never said they aren't spending, but simply that City are spending a lot more.
I'm struggling to remember the last star player that City lost that they wanted to keep, whether to an English rival or to Barca or Real. Once they sign players, they are able to keep them for their prime years.

Sane? Torres this summer?
Sane they wanted rid and torres they were not overly bothered about leaving... the latter is a youngster and not in his prime yet. Liverpool are below united, City arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, villa and west ham in the last 10 years. Klopp is doing a phenomenal job

There's no question that Klopp has done better in the transfer market than Guardiola, he consistent signs 30-40m players and turns them into 100m players. Luis Diaz the latest one, crazy to get him for less than 40m.
But over the next few years you'll find their net spend goes up a lot, simply because in the past they weren't as good and their best players wanted to leave for better clubs. For example if Sterling and Torres were at Liverpool today there's no way they'd be going to City/Chelsea.
This is also why City's net spend is so high. They've been an elite club challenging for the title for over a decade so therefore they generally only sign world class players and naturally those players rarely want to leave. Despite spending a lot they do tend to get value for money though, 10 of their players who appeared last night have been there at least 5 years.
75k capacity in Paris. Liverpool and Madrid have been given 19,618 tickets each.
4k of their allocated tickets cost more than £410
The high and mighty - teasing the working class by unnecessarily dragging something away....and making it seem and sound better then what it actually is.
It is just 90mins of football. It's not a holiday in Dubai
It's nothing new. How many are each team getting for the FA Cup final?
30,500 for each club. Not great but enough for every ST holder to go if they want.
Chelsea have 28k season ticket holders. Liverpool have 27k - a number kept low i believe so they can sell more match day tickets to make more money. Also the reason why Liverpool have a ST waiting list of over 15 years.
That's the kind of joke that I don't consider a joke.
Well out of order
If it were Charlton fans doing it to Palace or Millwall fans, I'd be embarrassed.
A lot of them will have missed called in sick from signing on as well.
That's a new joke.,🤦
A lot of them will be upset for weeks, some may have kids who'll be crying for days and will grow up hating Everton when normally the two sets of supporters respect each other. It's nasty and pathetic.
Some of you need to grow up regarding Liverpool fans. All the ones interviewed on the TV this morning were elderly and remembered the Shankley and Paisley years and there were a lot of families with young kids as well.
They are not all on benefits and nick hubcaps. I hope the Everton fans that did that, assuming it’s not social media bollocks get nicked.
And I hope Liverpool win tonight and show Manchester “Arab” City how its done
If Pep, the City players and the City fans were offered the following swap - this season's Premier League title for a place in the Champions League final tonight - I imagine many would take it, as this is the trophy they really want.
Indeed both City and PSG need a Champions League win to really cement their place at the top table.

Jesus is the only one and even he would rather play as a winger than a striker.
