  1. Big shout to put him on the subs bench a bit. Players capable of coming off the bench and win games are like gold. I think we saw the best from Sturridge when starting, he's usually not great off the bench.
  2. Well done for taking part. However, are you honestly comparing Henderson's set of skills with De Bruyne's? Likewise Milner and Silva? See me.
  3. Disaster, all our squad have entered Love Island and we have been given permission from the PL to take a bare XI from the other teams in the PL as straight replacements for our normal starting XI, using our usual tactics, picking players with the most similar playing styles and attributes. Therefore I propose this to the PL Ederson (Alisson) Walker (Trent) Ake (Gomez) Kompany (Van Dijk) Chilwell (Robbo) Loftus-Cheek (Wijnaldum) Neves (Henderson) Drinkwater (Milner) Hazard (Salah) Giroud (Firmino) Zaha (Mane) I'm so sorry.
  4. 6 games. 19 shots on target against us so far. 4 conceded. Thoughts so far? Worth noting that we restricted West Ham, Palace and Brighton to 6 shots on target (0 goals conceded) across the 180 mins we played against them, whereas we conceded 13 shots on goal (with 4 goals conceded) in the next 180 mins vs Leicester, Spurs and PSG.
  5. Having said that, I think we should still be in the market for that Fekir or Pulisic addition, which will be something in the region of £70m. I'm sure we are and we will do something like that in January or next summer. I hope we continue to monitor that lad Akanji at Dortmund.
  6. I get the feeling that we'll now see back-to-back starts against Southampton and Chelsea in the league cup for Shaqiri, Fabinho, Matip and Sturridge. It's been an intense start to the season, and I think Klopp will see the value in resting Mane, Wijnaldum, Gomez, and Firmino. Could see them all come off the bench in both games for Salah, Milner, Van Dijk and Sturridge. It's little pockets of rest time like this that can have a huge beneficial impact to the squad in the coming weeks. Even if it's just 10 days or so, it's with a view to battering the same first choice players again for Chelsea (a), Napoli (a) and Man City (h) which all happen over 8 days before the international break.
  7. We have a habit lately of not cementing our dominance in games. Theres no way PSG deserved to pull two goals back from 0-2 down, but it happened. Have to be disappointed with that, it’ll catch up with us if we don’t do some work on that.
  8. Time for a rocket up Salah’s arse, drop him for Shaqirii.
  9. Anyone else see Salah chucking a water bottle when Bobby scored?
  10. Any fucking chance of saving something Alisson?
  11. Costs £35 just to get a bang average version of street fighter, even then it’s a cropped screen. Bought Splatoon 2 and unbelievably you can’t do a local 2 player coop. 2 player Mario Odyssey, one of you gets to be a fucking cap.
  12. Done the Wire and B.B. First time someone’s put forward The Shield as a top level show?
  13. Just finished Soprano’s. What the fuck do I do now. Lillyhammer any good?
  14. Klopp better have a damn good reason for the omission of Shaqiri and Fabinho so far. We’re obviously going to need them, I just hope they’re on board with how how he’s using them so far. keita looks like he needs some stability in his role, it’s like he sometimes get license to roam and sometimes he’s chained to the sink, which doesn’t suit him. The back four is marvellous though.
