His end to 2018/19 is the biggest case of momentum ever. Scored at Newcastle away to keep us in the title race, brace against Messi’s Barca in the CL semis and the goal at sealed our 6th European Cup. He only turned up in December that season!
Origi scored three goals in the 2018/19 Champions League...
The three goals:

Still couldn’t beat them 😂 the old trafford curse in that period was insane
United spray the pitch with garlic and the players drop like flies in the First Half against Liverpool (2019) #MUFC

Horrible institution
Exclusive with @AlexDooler @DNair5
UAE officials have warned the UK government that the severity of Man City’s punishment could undermine their appetite for future grand-scale commitments in Britain, according to people familiar with the matter
They consider the Premier League’s actions to have an influence on the bilateral state relationship, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing undisclosed information
The extraordinary pressure comes after Andy Burnham faced criticism, including from within government, for saying Man City’s Abu Dhabi owners should not be disqualified specifically because of the investment they bring to Britain

I want nothing more than for this man to succeed here. I can’t see it happening personally, but hopefully last night is a big boost for him.

Etihad threatening to sue. UAE reportedly intimating that UK investment could be pulled. A Prime Minister couching any criticisism. If this sorry saga doesn't convince you that state ownership of football clubs should never be allowed, nothing ever will.

“I would be really concerned to lose them.” Prime Minister Andy Burnham on the possibility of Manchester City’s owners selling up. What?! These are owners found guilty of serial breaches of the Premier League rule-book by three judges on an independent commission after a lengthy investigation. Owners who outraged other clubs and countless fans by flouting the rules and inflating sponsorship income with the Disguised Funding Scheme.
Owners who misled auditors and regulators, who threaten to bring this Premier League season – and, potentially, future seasons - to a standstill by their appeal, deny, delay tactics. Owners who are patently not proper custodians of a famous, historic club. Owners who many hope will sell up and ship out after bringing such shame and sham contracts to the game.
So these are astonishing, alarming comments from the PM. “I do actually thank the City Football Group and the wider ownership for the money that they didn't just put into the Etihad and the campus around it but also into the city," Burnham told the BBC’s Chris Mason.
Come on, PM. Read the room. Read the commission’s report. Read the belligerent statements from the Abu Dhabi owners and their chief executive like Ferran Soriano. Rather than thank CFG, perhaps thank the diligence of the Premier League in seeking to enforce its rules and protect the national sport. Perhaps thank the three judges for their pain-staking work in sifting through reams of evidence and coming to their considered conclusion.
Burnham spoke as a politician seemingly with one eye on diplomatic and trade links. He spoke as a former mayor whose city benefited from investment in east Manchester by Abu Dhabi. “They've been such a huge partner in the building of modern Manchester and obviously the building of Manchester City into the global force that it is.” And how was that building financed?
Burnham spoke as a politician and not the football fan that he truly is. The lifelong Evertonian is usually pretty sound on football matters. He misread the mood of many fans not wanting the possible return of drinking in Premier League stands but that was a rare misstep. This is far worse. This makes him look out of touch with the prevailing mood. He was speaking at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Maybe he should head to Anfield on Sunday week and witness the anger felt towards City.
Burnham did add that he wasn’t getting involved in the process and that City had a right to appeal if they felt harshly treated. But how does the PM’s sympathetic words for controversial owners help the independent football regulator charged by Government with leading the fight against those who risk the credibility of their club, who play fast and loose with the rules and who damage the integrity of the national sport?
How frustrating if Burnham’s words embolden City's owners and Soriano further. Bit of an own goal by No 10.

Going toe-to-toe with a sell-to-buy policy against a sovereign state who broke all the rules and did what they wanted when they wanted to.
Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool are the greatest modern day PL team.
And he is the greatest modern day PL manager.

Such a mad language
📽️ Basın toplantısında gazeteci ile Van Dijk arasında yaşanan diyalog:
🎙️ Gazeteci: "Burada olman zoraki bir durum gibi değil mi?"
🎙️ Van Dijk: "Ne demek istiyorsun?"
🎙️ Gazeteci: "Pek konuşkan değilsin. Normalde sempatik ve konuşkan birisin, öyle değil mi?"
🎙️ Van Dijk: "E bazen de bir şeyler söylenmesi gerekiyor. Sürekli sızlanmaları dinleyemezsin. Öyle değil mi?"
🎙️ Gazeteci: "Ama hep kısa yanıtlar veriyorsun. Kestirip atıyorsun?"
🎙️ Van Dijk: "Hayır, ben gayet açık sözlü biriyim."
🎙️ Gazeteci: "Her zamanki basın toplantılarında olmadığını düşünüyorum. Kestirip atıyorsun. Sanki medya ile olan ilişkin seni rahatsız ediyor gibi."
🎙️ Van Dijk: "Medyanın büyük kısmıyla hiç sorunum yok ve olmadı. Ama bazen saçmalıklar ve yalanlar yazılıyor. Ben ne yapabilirim?"
🎙️ Gazeteci: "O zaman direkt o kişiyle konuşabilirsin."
🎙️ Van Dijk: "Zaten şu anda o kişiyle konuşuyorum."
