GWT: PL Matchweek 35 & 36

[Live in the Now]

Liverpool will get their hands on the Premier League trophy in a special ceremony on the Kop at Anfield following the clash with Chelsea next Wednesday.

Having mathematically secured the club’s 19th league title last month, the Reds are set to receive the silverware at their final home match of the 2019-20 campaign on July 22.

With supporters unable to attend the behind-closed-doors fixture, the historic occasion will involve a unique presentation designed to acknowledge and celebrate Liverpool fans.

Reds players and staff will collect the Premier League trophy and their winner’s medals on a special podium built at the centre of the Kop surrounded by fan banners.

Sir Kenny Dalglish, Liverpool manager when the club last won the championship in 1990, will join Premier League chief executive Richard Masters to deliver the medals.

The Reds squad, led by captain Jordan Henderson – who will lift the trophy at Anfield – have been involved in the planning for the much-anticipated ceremony.

They care so much about these games that they're planning how they're going to celebrate winning the title.

King Kenny handing the medals out, and hopefully the trophy to Henderson as well, will be something to remember.

Very, very, very few things would fill me with as much joy as ending Liverpool's unbeaten at home run on the day right before they lift the trophy.

Not sure if Liverpool have anything to play for anymore with regards to records, but if they don't I would think Klopp would give the younger players/rotational guys some minutes the last two matches.

City: *buys another world class attacker to sit behind Bernardo, Mahrez, and Foden*

FSG: "You guys remember Curtis Jones. Pretend he's a transer."

And thats why Manchester City will win the league next year.

There is a gulf in quality between their bench players and all other teams.

Also Liverpool bench might be the worst in the top 6... Yes, I went there.. Origi, Shaqiri, Ox, Jones, William, Elliot, Minamino they scare nobodies and I like most of them...

Not exactly a hot take. But with the 5 sub rule especially, this is not a good summer not to reinforce; but can’t spend money they don’t have.

Wengers famous words: “He is like a new signing.”

 

[Live in the Now]

I'm gonna laugh at this Curtis Jones talk next season. He will be as good as Foden is now.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Is there any other player in the world who scores as much as Salah but also misses so many chances? Unreal

Andy Cole used to get the same stick. I look back now and realize just how good Andy Cole was...same with Salah.

Who is he displacing in Liverpool's midfield?

Time will tell. He can play on the left too. I think Milner is going to play much less next season.

It also needs to be mentioned that Ox is probably only getting one more season to recover from his blown ACL.

 

[Rob]

Despite one blatant error early in the match Martinez had another solid game for Arsenal. Will be interesting to see how many games he gets to start next season when Leno is back.

 

[S E P H]

Meh, won a meaningless match against a team who has nothing to play for and caused both of their errors. The shots were still like 23 to 3 or something.

I am more disappointed by the lack of posts in this thread saying that I was right a week or two ago. You lot should listen to me more. I really do not want Europa, so whatever we do to not be drawn there and somehow get into the CL, I’ll be very happy.

Europa League was the best thing to happen to us this year. Allowed us to play Martinelli and Saka

 

[Evilo]

These quotes seem like complaining. He knew the deal money wise when he took that job.

And he's got one of the highest salaries for a rookie coach in the world. Probably the highest with OGS. So please...

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Sheffield have won 3 of their last 4 and have one of the best away records in the league this year - go get em lads

 

[hatterson]

Would love a Sheffield win today.

I hope Andy Lonergan plays against Newcastle. Genuinely

 

[JeffreyLFC]

I want drama!

Sheffield win and Crystal Palace win too

As a Chelsea fan, I 100% endorse this post.

Next season? Adam Lallana. Lallana low key played a lot of minutes before restart

 

[bleedblue1223]

Maybe I've just never noticed, but I've never seen a keeper wear a hat in a game.

 

[hatterson]

I don't recall seeing it before, at least at this level.

Makes sense though.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Maybe I've just never noticed, but I've never seen a keeper wear a hat in a game.

I think Wigan's keeper used to wear one in like the 00's if I'm not mistaken. But totally makes sense imo.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Yeah, not saying it doesn't make sense with the sun, just have never noticed it before.

 

[Gecklund]

This new LB for Leicester is playing really well the first 30 minutes.
