Arsenal have set the record for the lowest possession percentage for a team playing in a Champions League final (since records began in 2003-04).
The previous lowest record was also Arsenal, set in the 2006 Champions League final, which they played 72 minutes with 10 men.
Very telling that not one player has posted anything about the head coach leaving, hours later not one thanks, not one good luck. Whilst Salah was chastised by certain people for speaking out, his words seemed to resonate with, and speak for the entire squad.
Mo Salah having his contract mutually terminated despite having a year left...
Trent Alexander-Arnold being sold for just £8.5m, after running down his contract...
Ibrahima Konate leaving for free...
Andy Robertson leaving for free...
They would join Wijnaldum, Firmino, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Milner and Keita, as player to have left for free since 2021.
Liverpool used to be so, so smart. But that feels like they've missed out on at least £130m across Salah, Konate, Robertson and Trent since the start of last summer.
Just the 70m CB, all timer forward, all timer LB leaving. For nothing.
With a midfield, RB & attack to fix.
And a manager who's a indifferent start away from the sack next season.
What's actually happened?
As shite as Konate has been, you can’t really blame him for wanting out when Cody Gakpo’s pulling 250k. That’s what happens when you hand bang average players ridiculous contracts. They'll all want 250k now. They've fucked it.
Clown club if Konate goes for free. That’ll be a title winning RB, LB and CB all walking out the door for £10m combined, for a team that operates on sell to buy principals that’s not the best option.
If Mamardashvili goes on loan that speaks louder to me about squad planning than anything else. It was decided he was the future & he’s being farmed out already, whoever earmarked him as PL ready needs to reassess their data models, and needs to be nowhere near the summer spend.
