I don't see why it can't be both.No he was thinking that the little **** was fouling him all game and just got a yellow card for a bad challenge on him. The referee had also called their captain over to tell the players to stop making bad challenges. Then the little **** elbowed him in the head and he lost it. Lallana is just returning from injury so it's easy to see how this happens, but the red card was totally deserved.
I bet Deulofeu would look good as a depth player at Liverpool.

I think it's reasonable to suggest he wouldn't have done that in a Premier League match. When it's U23s and you won't be banned from the PL, you don't care and you can deliver your own justice without fear of real retribution.
Ah I’ve never been quite sure about how everything ends up playing out. All I know is top 4 are CL and 5th is Europa.
100%. And you know what? Unnamed Spurs player gets Lallana sent off and gets his side an advantage in a game that actually matters to him. Good for him. The game means nothing to Lallana, so I'm ok with him getting sent off if it means reducing his chances of getting injured in a U23 match.Yeah, I was just trying to give his mindset. A player who never played at top level fouling someone repeatedly, culminating in an elbow to the head is going to set them off.
Ehhh I like Suso and think he's talented but I don't think he'd fit in that well under Klopp.If anything, Liverpool should regret letting go of Suso.
You contradict yourself here.Their tactics are actually pretty good if you consider that they still score goals without a quality striker and quality box to box midfielder. Fabregas looks way past it and Bakayoko's been very poor. If Conte goes their season is over IMO.
Morata can do everything but score. I actually don't mine him. But he is a clear downgrade. Costa was my favorite player and it's depressing that he left.No they need a better finisher, one as good as Diego Costa. His system works.
It's not so much the system as his personality. He is extremely intense and has a habit of screaming at players. Was lucky enough to be sitting right behind him when he was doing it last preseason.

Would rather Richarlison than any player mentioned in the last page. Pretty sure he'll be playing at a big team next year.
One thing I noticed was if Luiz is a top 10 CB he certainly didn't show it today. He was pretty poor. Many mistakes. Though nothing compared to Bakayoko obviously...that was an incredibly bad performance. Surely he's better than that. Maybe a similar issue to Kondogbia/Inter perhaps? Just isn't settling?
I thought Richarlison looked pretty average too.
Doucoure and Deulofeu along with Janmaat were the standouts imo.

The fact he continues to use 3 at the back while it clearly doesn' tsuit some of his signings and squad is being stubborn.
The could very well use a 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 with Luiz/Christensen as CB. Bakayoko would be much more at ease in a system he prefers and allows him to play to his strengths.
Fabregas behind the striker would be much wiser, Kante+Bakayoko behind him. Hazard on the left and Pedro on the right.

Hazard-Cesc-Pedro
---Bakayoko-Kante---
So what would happen if arsenal wins the EL and Carabao Cup?1-4 will get a group stage spot in the CL unless English clubs who are outside the top 4 win both the CL and EL. Theoretically this year it would be something like Arsenal winning the EL and finishing 6th while Chelsea/Spurs/Liverpool/United win the CL and finish 5th. Basically that's not happening so it'll be 1-4 in the CL.
5th gets an EL group stage spot.
FA Cup winner gets an EL group stage spot.
Carabao Cup winner gets an EL 2nd qualifying round spot.
If a club qualifies for the CL via domestic performance (ie 1-4) and also wins an EL spot via a cup, their EL spot simply gets dropped to the next highest finishing team.
If a club qualifies for the CL via winning the CL or EL and also wins a CL or EL spot via domestic performance their domestic spot is not reassigned.
