  1. Very good...I was torn between two references, i.e. Watkins and Calvert Lewins knickers and then Smeagol and Gollum, but I will side with latter as you popped and acute on Smeagol and I can't find on Mac keyboard! As for Mr Brains that is Vincent Kompany, a guy that hit a worldly once upon a time...he was playing for one of the best teams in the world for an age and like Ederson had pretty much fck all to do for seasons, not a patch on Diaz, Stones or even Laporte but he has gone down as some sort of legend...he could trap a ball further than I could kick it! Mr football!!
  2. Agree, he could be good, but it's grasping at straws, we really shouldn't be in a position whereby we are reliant on one kid to bolster another kid in a key position. Really like the two signings, but if we are signing this kid surely we need to be in tandem with someone with more experience. He'd of been ideal 3 years ago for a transitional change, just idea of him being key man even though just a year or two younger than Caicedo is a big ask.
  3. True, being 21 also, I would think he's receiving lots of advice, good or bad...thing is how gets this far agreeing a fee.
  4. You knew it though! I would expect Milner to expect it also. That prick is the footballing Bojo, gets away with what he likes. He has a long long chat with Tierney to get try get Jota sent off because that’s what he’s like. The same prick that got away with that tackle on Robertson at Spurs, the same prick that was throwing himself to the ground to win pens a few years back, the same prick that leans into a defender while up for a header and awaits for them to pop Arsenal over tit. I hope he stays and rots at Spurs.
  5. One complaint! Jamie Carragher is fcking painful! Is he talking to himself most of the time? He seemed surprised that Gakpo is quick, one of the most obvious things I have noticed about him when he turns and runs at you, both for Liverpool and during World Cup.
  6. Bajetic can certainly play, physically he might get knocked off ball now and again but he had the feet to get himself out of trouble on more than one occasion. Start him against Chelsea and as much as I despise Keita he can get around pitch also. Would like to see 3 start against Chelsea, then Mo, Nunez (assuming back), Gapko upfront. Would think Klopp may feel Elliot deserves to start... Jones effort when came on...sadly guy continued to disappoint where the rest did well.
  7. Surely if that was key for him he would have jumped from Dortmund, as not winning CL with them any time soon...idea that player makes mind up on that premise is for the birds, albeit agents/media push the spin I imagine. Can't see it happening anyway and until we stop spewing up chances and looking so vulnerable to any team in the Premiership like we did V Brentford, doesn't matter who we sign. They had the ball in the net 5 times, Allison stopped another and that had nothing to do with midfield, technique, ability...it was a combined lack of responsibility by the players on the pitch not doing job.
  8. I think we have to take the rough with the smooth on this one. The amount of chances he gets/creates if he were to convert he would be closer to 150m...so I'm happy to run with his performances up until now. If he doesn't score or have an assist he does seem to be 'involved', like that third goal. As mentioned, forget the dummies, time those offside runs a bit better etc and only going in one direction. He is always looking to get in and really causing problems for defences. He will never be blessed with amazing feet, but Klopp et al would have seen that in advance and trust that he will deliver regardless. It may be a patient one and at times frustrating, but I feel worth the wait.
  9. Probably needed that Benfica goal. City - PSG hopefully
  10. It's remarkable...a dumbed down version of what happened in 30s Germany...convincing people that everyone else is their enemies...ignoring what's straight in front of you. It does pay to keep people at the bottom of the ladder, starve them of education etc...and the media arm in arm serve it up.
  11. Never have a peak of hatred with this lot!
