Manchester City versus Liverpool was an instant classic but the Mailbox is also pretty concerned with figuring out who football’s sh*thousing GOAT is.

Yes ‘real’ football is back! Crazy game in the carabao cup last 16…what a difference to the World Cup
So many thoughts:
1. is de Bruyne stoppable in this form? Methinks not. Belgium must be in really bad shape…
2. feisty is the only word that comes to mind for this game. Shouldve seen more yellows, perhaps the odd red.
3. i think 7-6 to city would have been a more appropriate scoreline. Couldve been 3-up before the 1-1 scoreline and either Nunez or Haaland with 2 wouldve been ok.
4. Palmer, who? Looks a very good prospect. christ he owned that left side.
5. Gomez – shit in any position apparently. how he starts ahead of Phillips for Liverpool baffles me. Phillips always looks decent, except for the Napoli game but jesus Gomez is a liability both at CB and RB.
6. ah Darwin…just keep smashing them. no need to place these shots. three times he dragged them. he needs to hit them.
‘its only the carabao cup anyway’ is not something i felt today. i wanted to Liverpool to win this. Helps January/February fixture list i guess.

1. great game, end to end, if only other teams would go toe to toe with city
2. Wasn’t it nice to watch goals and *celebrate* without VAR killjoy
3. Nunez is frighteningly quick, if he can finish he could be special
4. De Bruyne ran the game. Sensational but the tag of “ best midfielder in the world” is gone, true greats drag their teams up
5. A welcome return to form from Fabinho, great interceptions.
6. I love Joel Matip. Simple
7. Grealish looks like a shadow of the player City signed. Played like Almiron when he came on
8. Kelleher is too good to be a Liverpool number two. He is better than ramsdale, mendy, de gea, lloris. Fully expect him to be sold for big money in the summer
9. Akanji looks like an astute signing, he’s a mix of stones and ake but not a mistake waiting to happen
10. Why does Foden persist with that haircut ?
11. Gutted to be knocked out
Ran out of conclusions.

Qatar critics must keep that same energy
Seldom feel compelled to throw in my two cents, but the recent mail from Rory (MUFC, USA) got my hand a-scribbling.
It’s hard to disagree with Rory’s assessment that the U.S., Canada,…
