It was good while it lasted, looks like another "potless" season for Klopp.

Yes, I like football and only started getting into it back in July of last year after the World Cup, before that I was always the type to say 'It's pointless' but I suppose there was a change of heart.
Also, my name is Matt as well :P
He is quite a player but I saw a very embarrassing clip of Lineker and Ferdinand celebrating when he scored the third. It really wasn't that brilliant a goal. If he'd scored it against Betis they wouldn't have been going mental pumping fists and saying "Wow". Allison should have saved it .

Perhaps but they will have positive things to take from the season and another summer to recruit good quality players. They have a good manager and an already decent squad. They could finish second with 97 points which is remarkable.

No way - Messi’s free kick was up in the postage stamp. It was outstanding technique and a goal fit to decide any game.
We'll have to agree to disagree.

Which one do you prefer? Two classics. Enjoy again.

Both were well taken but not the greatest. I'll have this one from Scottish Cafu

One of the worst goalkeeper errors of the season (about 5:00 in video)

Apologies that it's taken me a week to respond to this. The reason I called it squad strengthening as opposed to team strengthing is that the way I look at Liverpool is that they have an awesome starting 11 but maybe lack a bit of quality in terms of squad rotation. Are there not areas outside of the top 11 that might take Liverpool from nearly winners to actual winners?

Someone better tell Fabinho to make sure his boot laces are tied before he injuries himself tripping over them, or slipping on some wet grass.
Or was it an audition for the local diving team?

We have a pretty good squad. Let's take goal difference across the league. Look at the goal difference of the top two teams and then look at the massive drop to the teams in third, forth, fifth and sixth. It's a big drop.
We took a big hit losing Salah tonight having already lost Firmino. We already didn't have Oxlade-Chamberlain and Gomez. We are still right with City.

Congratulations to Sol Campbell for his efforts in keeping Macclesfield Town in the Football League. He took over as manager when the club's league results were very poor indeed up to that point in time.

I'm struggling to take any comparison with any side below the top 2 as I feel the rest of the PL has been distinctly average (at best this season - probably excluding Wolves from that). It just always feels that Liverpool are 1 or 2 injuries away from catastrophe, whereas City never seem to miss their key players if they are missing because they have similar quality waiting on the bench. Might just be an outsiders view as I don't follow Liverpool that closely but just how I see it.
Glad they proved me wrong last night though, albeit only just. Takes the title race to the final day no matter what happens with City against Leicester which is great for us neutrals

Indeed, the way he has turned their fortunes around is superb. The big challenge for him now is whether he can build on this when working from a clean slate......it's sometimes easier to join and save a sinking ship than it is to then go on to steady it

Shocking free kick. Roll on VAR.

The big question is if the club remains solvent to stay in the league - there are still questions about unpaid wages from April.
That wouldn't have gone to VAR anyway. VAR would be used for penalties, or offsides and fouls in the build up to goals.

I'd forgot about that to be honest. The fact that they survived could be an even bigger deal for them then as they will have more grace from the EFL if they should enter administration. The National League has a policy that any insolvent club will simply be kicked out of the league

Thanks to Robson-Kanu for getting himself sent off. Defeat at home to Norwich is nothing to be ashamed of, bring on West Brom

VAR won’t be used for that sort of decision.

Huddersfield Town 1 - 1 Mevagissey United
Two seasons running that we've ended our opponent's European Cup hopes in our penultimate game... could've won it at the end, too. This despite the likes of Pogba, Rashford and Sanchez displaying more fragility than the corner flag!
It was fun while it lasted but I always knew our stay in the top flight would be temporary. If we ended up in the Northern League I'd still go to games though, I don't care all that much who the opponents are. I'll enjoy my trips to Luton, Barnsley and Nottingham Forest next season just as much as I enjoyed the Burnleys, Chelseas and Leicesters over the last couple of years.
***STOP PRESS***
Arsenal also miss out on a top four place after scraping a draw at Brighton (who nobody could blame if they were already on the beach).

We have had key players out and if Man City win their game in hand we are one point behind.
Oxlade Chamberlain is an important player, Gomez is an important player.

40 points getting 15th in the premier league is insane - the dominance of the top teams has been particularly evident this year.
