"Houssem Aouar is getting the Nabil Fekir treatment from upper management at Lyon.
Certain club officials are worried about Aouar's religious practices. Aouar recently travelled to Mecca and has now begun growing his beard out, which some at the club are intepreting as radicalisation.
Fekir went through similar issues with the club, with one of the main reasons for his departure being that the club didn't want Fekir to have a long beard. The club had asked Fekir to keep his beard trimmed so that it would not be understood as a symbol of Islam."
Romain Molina reporting the above.

Liverpool supporters have gobbled up everything Klopp says and does for years. Let’s see their reaction to this one.
Liverpool have spent a grand total of 25m on midfielders in the last 4 years. This isnt eaerh shattering news.
Arsenal look set to be the club to beat over the next 4 to 5 years. Chelsea will be up there with huge backing from their owners too.

1 CL and 1 PL title. No other PL club has managed to do the same. Plus 4 cups and 1shield. Prety decent 5 years.

I wonder if Webb has set the bar for VAR to overturn a decision that its pointless having it there in the first place (which was PGMOLs stated desire for years before they were forced to bring it in).

You have to separate what Klopp said from the embellishment by the Daily Mirror journalist. Did Klopp actually use the term 'dominance' that people are getting their knickers in a twist about?
From that article these are the quotes from Klopp.
What happened in the league with City and us in the last few years was absolutely exceptional.
It is a bit embarrassing to say but the level of consistency we showed in that period is crazy. Absolutely crazy. But we don’t use that even one percent as an excuse to say ‘five years we have been in charge of football, now we have to watch it like this’.
Consistency is really the most difficult thing to have in football and we will see how that goes for other teams when they have little drops or injuries. But it’s pretty likely it’ll get tougher for everybody up there to stay up there, to qualify for Europe, the Champions League and especially become champions.
It will be absolutely difficult because of the quality of the teams, the money around and the quality of the coaches which has improved a lot as well.
Arsenal are a sensational team. Mikel had time pretty much with just a little bit of European football in the last few years and he is doing an outstanding job.
They will not go away easily and say ‘we had a year, thank you very much. United is in a really good moment, whatever happens there they will not stop investing and improving.
If City, theoretically, do not win the league, I do not think Pep will accept this kind of situation for a couple of years. They will go again.
Tottenham, Newcastle, Brighton are doing really well. We have to see how long Brighton can keep that team together. We know these kinds of things could happen so it makes it really interesting.

Wasnt aware that asking a question can a title be seen as premier league domination required "knickers in a twist".
Haven't read the article, not really interested. Just read the headline, which prompted the question.

A common theme.
