My view is that Saka is immense. And I’m a Liverpool supporter. They need to free him up more.
Not many non Arsenal fans seem to have that view. He’s a special talent without a doubt and also seems to have his feet firmly planted on the ground. His cross gave Kane a relatively straightforward finish and then scores a goal that was literally unstoppable.I stand by my earlier comment that Grealish is useless. The lights are on but no one is in. The gormless f
ker shouldn't be anywhere near the squad. Abdul Abulbul Amir said:

I hope they give Maddison another try. He didn't stand out last night but also didn't play badly. On top form he's top quality and preferable to Grealish any day.

Think Grealish main talent is being able to dribble and draw the fouls, therefore getting free kicks for his team. Madison is quality when he's on form, hope he gets more games.PS I bet Villa are still laughing at the price they extorted from Man City.

Maddison created a number of decent chances tbf. He'll be a regular in the squad from the summer, as soon as he leaves LCFC he'll start being picked, even if he isn't playing regularly for his new club.PS I bet Villa are still laughing at the price they extorted from Man City.

As an aside, I wasn't sure whether Steven Gerrard's earnest proclamation 'We're all with you, anything you want just ask' was an offer of a bed for the night or a committment to a squadron of F16s.
We’ve never had any F16s, so that little Ukrainian kid with the poster needed to get his facts right, before asking Rishi for them. 
Moving on, we have the mighty Maltese away next up in June. That got me thinking about an away friendly against them back in 2000. My memory of that match was that it was organised as a lucrative attempted FA “incentive” to encourage the Maltese to vote for England in the upcoming 2006 World Cup hosting bid. However, they were out-bribed by Franz Beckenbauer who offered various smaller nations friendlies against Bayern Munich in return for their votes for Germany.

Euro Quali's KO tonight... safety first from Garry vs. might of Malta.
Not sure what you expected but it’s a balance of established players and some more fringe ones. There is no point doing something totally different to what would happen at a tournament like 3 strikers or anything bonkers. In any case there is some tactical experimentation going on with TAA in midfield.

The handball rule is too soft, but that is softer than soft.
Yep, stupid - what was the defender supposed to do. People keep saying this is the VAR rules when a soft handball is given. I don't interpret the rules meaning things like that are a penalty.

ks to overule VAR when told to look @ screen when it's as obvious an error as yesterdays. But we've all be saying that all season, so appears unlikely that it'll change. TCEvo said:
