Toby replaced Lovren, Van Dijk replaced Toby. It's the way of football, continual renewal for the most part. I think modern footballers burn out more quickly than of yore, Probably due to starting younger, more injuries and playing more games.

Makes no sense. Anyway Klopp will play Lovren and Van Dijk as likely as not.

Long is almost perpetually offside when he gets a scoring chance. Surely the coaching people must be able to do something about that. Never by that much either.

Against local league opposition. Counts for zilch. I mean if Long scored 3 goals against Sholing or BAT what difference would that make?

Monaco will be right chuffed to get rid of him for nowt let alone us giving them money for him. Sounds like the old agent horse manure at work again.

It's what becomes of replacing fans with customers I'd presume.

It's what happens when the front men aren't creating space to be passed into. How many times do you see a midfielder recover the ball, look up, see nothing and just slide it sideways to try to create through a different channel. Watched Everton-Utd the other day, when Pogba started going out and forward on the left it changed the whole game. Trouble with our creative midfielders and front men it that they're all a bit on the puny side. Fine artists they may well be but they've very little physical presence. Perhaps we could try Lemina out wide on one side or the other.

Although if Mr Gao dumped 40 million or so on it he'd at least get his money back :).

Never mind about all of those trivial things, how are the pies?

Don't know if it's a case of not being motivated at Liverpool. It's just that there are a shedload of players better than Sturridge at Liverpool.

Not bad at all, at least we're trying to play on the deck football. Watched some of Bournemouth-Everton and those who moan continually about our style need to do the same. It was just a horrendous hoof fest in which any decent player should be ashamed to participate.

Burnley innit..

If that should indeed be the case then he's being doing it since he was about 4.

But that was in 1926 !!

Absolutely, just don't understand all of this negative hysteria. Mind you I seem to remember it being the same at some stage last season as well. I blame fantasy football in all of it's incarnations myself.

And we'll probably be one of the 4 PL teams who don't get to sign him. It's just agent crap, trying to get him more money and/or more game time at Atletico.

Of course we are. A few more chances converted will see us back to 10th or so.

Doesn't lose an awful lot of games though.

Who cares really, must say I've never really been able to see why he's here at all. Must be something commercial I suppose and that shouldn't affect anything to do with football. As long as he shuts up and keeps a very low profile it just doesn't matter where he is.

Sounds about right. As for 40 + million for Walcott, soon to be 29 and injury prone to boot, well that's just not going to happen. Personally I'd not take him on any long term deal involving money, perhaps a try to buy loan but those don't really happen.

Bielsa is trouble, Blanc would not even consider a club like Saints. There are no realistic options available, we'll stick with what we have for the time being I expect.

3 million a year ? No wonder he's crap then, that's Championship pay.

Sounds pretty feasible. Football is not a greek democracy. Players need to do whatever the manager asks them to do to 100% of their capability. If they can't or won't then the manager needs to get players who can. Oh and having at least one "top player" who wants away in the camp never, ever helps.
