    Xhaka’s red card turned out to be another false positive for Liverpool.

    What a signing Ruben Dias has been for Man City. Doesn’t seem to get the same kudos as Van Dijk’s transfer for some reason.

    I'm calling it now. N'Golo Kante was a reasonable signing by #CFC in 2016. #UCLFinal

    Reece James has agreed terms with #CFC over a new long-term contract which will make him the highest paid defender in the club's history. More here:

    It was never an agenda. We have a job to do. #CFC #Lampard

    I can think of many #CFC managers the club have employed in the Abramovich era who wouldn’t be able to handle the situation as well as Thomas Tuchel is doing right now.

    Another shirt number update. Christian Pulisic is #CFC’s new No 10 following Willian’s departure to #AFC.
    Meanwhile, been told Kai Havertz asked to take Tomori's No 29 shirt number on joining #CFC. It's his favourite number having worn it at Bayer Leverkusen. Tomori was happy to oblige (and that was before talks over loan to #EFC stepped up).

    #CFC will be playing in their PE kit tonight.

    I understand #CFC fee for Wesley Fofana is £69.5m. No more than that.

    I wonder if Anthony Taylor will ever take charge of a #CFC game where he is not the talking point. #LIVCHE

    “I won't give up, I'll be professional.” A professional wouldn’t give an interview like this after missing half the season through injury and illness. Poor from Lukaku. At a time when #CFC are struggling & need their record buy to show leadership, he adds fuel to the flames.

    Klopp questioned #CFC’s (among others) spending last week. So far: In: Lukaku, Bettinelli: £97.5m Out (not including add-ons): Tomori £25m, Abraham £34m, Guehi £18m, Livramento £5m, Moses £4.3m, Giroud £2m, Bate £1.5m, Simeu £1.5m, Peart-Harris £1.3m: Min £92.6m. Simple maths.

    Tammy Abraham has just waved to people in the stands at #CFC as he walked slowly round the pitch. Was that goodbye?
