Keane went way overboard there didn’t he, don’t think he’s seen much League Two recently

Aside from the fact he is a German Brendan Rodgers in terms of personality, we played Nagelsmann’s Leipzig side in the champions league and they were fucking shite.

Theo Hernandez is a fucking shithouse rat. Good player like. Probably a bit old and a bit pricey for us. I think between Robertson and Tsimikas we shouldn't need an immediate upgrade at left wing back, if Amorim comes in, and if he decides to play 3-4-3. Neither are perfect fits for the role I guess. But it's not like his current left wing back is that prolific, he's only got 4 goals this season.

I thought Arteta was, dare I say it, a bit Mourinho-esque in his approach.

Of course he mainly scores against inferior teams, there’s only us and Arsenal who aren’t quite significantly inferior to City.

I think Abu Dhabi will, yeah. Arsenal less likely to, but still in with a shout. They are a lot better than they were last year and haven’t picked up injuries to key players like last year either.

7 wins from 9 won’t win it this season. Have a feeling we will need all nine to be honest.

Maybe those rumours of City / Pep wanting Cristiano Ronaldo before he went back to Man Utd were actually true. Haaland reminds me of late-career Ronaldo a bit. Also quite similar to how Pep used Lewandowski at Bayern.

He *was* far too good for that. A cruciate ligament injury for a player his age with an injury record like his, doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence that he’d be able to play at the same level again.

Nothing hipsters love more than an alternative idea that never got the attention they felt it deserved in its heyday. Well, that and looking like a scruff.

It’s not a true hipster formation unless you use a mix of words and numbers to describe it, eg. 3-diamond-3.

Stuttgart sold us their captain on the eve of the season, they nearly went down last year as well. They’re now third in the league and usually play a 4-4-2.

Saw a couple of post match interviews with Inzaghi speaking pretty good English. Amorim has good English too. Would only improve the more they got to know Trent and Curtis as well.

You might be right in Nagelsmann, Baz, hope you’re not though. He’s a dickhead, a German Brendan Rodgers imo.

I mean Amorim sounds enough like a left field smartest-guy-in-the-room pick already, in that none of the English football media will have heard of him. If he comes in and doesn’t do very well you will hear stuff like “I don’t know why Liverpool have gone with this unknown Portuguese fella, they could have gone with a proven winner” from all the usual idiots. While we’re on the subject of unexpected choices I wonder if we’re looking at that Sebastian Hoeness guy at Stuttgart. Has them fourth in the Bundesliga from nearly going down last season and they play some great stuff at times. Ideally wouldn’t be under consideration but I bet his stats look amazing.

Frank should be an absolute non starter. Surprised he’s even being linked, by anyone. Looks like a graphic designer but has his team playing like Allardyce’s Bolton.

Juve are shite this year. Madrid are the richest club in the world and their only domestic rival has imploded. Inter spent fortunes to get nowhere for about thirty years. They only started to win stuff after Calciopoli.

Seems to be the common sense consensus but a lot can happen between now and the start of next season.

A hatful? Against ... the Hatters? Worthy of a Thomas Muller gif that mate.

There's no way we pass up on Alonso if he wants to come here over Bayern.

Trent is such a unique player. I'd be really interested to see how he got on playing somewhere like Real Madrid. Or even under a different Liverpool coach.

Sorry Stacksy mate, not seeing any mention of Gakpo, Nunez or Diaz in that article. Or the phrase "manager signings".

Got a link?

Has anyone else moved significantly? Imo it's pretty meaningless at this stage

Was such a low quality game that. Not seen us play that half-arsedly in a long while. Well, we won the Arsenal cup game and then lost there in the league. I’d take a reversal of that.
