I was in a second hand shop today to get some stuff for my parents and came across Robbie Fowler's autobiography. $3 well spent I think :P

Got my copy from poundland, one of the worst footy bios I've read I'm afraid!

He seems to blame anyone and everyone else at anything that didn't go his way through his career.

Still, was cheap!

(maybe it just wasn't for me as it has generally good reviews!)

Interesting, Fowler was mostly before my time so I don't know a great deal about him really, I'll let you know what I think once I've read it

I've gone through a fair few including Robert Earnshaw's epic tome (112 pages XD )

Ian Rush is by far and away the best forward the clubs ever had IMHO. Certainly the greatest I've ever seen live. But Robbie remains the most natural goalscorer I've ever seen. From any club. Those first three our four years from 18 on when he finally got his chance and he was banging in 30 plus a season he was beyond ridiculous .Most EVERYTHING he hit went between the posts. He'd of doubtless broken Rushie's records and been right up there with Shearer the PL era had injury and Houllier/ Thompson not destroyed his career/ enthusiasm for the game respectively.

Quiet. Had a great chance first half to either score or square it to Aubameyang. Got caught in two minds and did neither with a tame pass back 'shot' to Navas. Set up Castro early the second half well for what should o been 1-1. Castro completely fluffed the chance. Got pulled just after Dortmund pulled it back to 2-1. There I turned off and went the store.

Sports Witness, who are just about the best at translating foreign reports in full, ran something today from Bild claiming Dortmund have and understanding with Klopp he wouldn't try sign any player they wanted to keep, but if they did sell, they'd rather sell to us. Take that for it's worth coming from Bild:

FSG keen to sign top target for Jurgen Klopp, club 'relaxed' over big Liverpool offer - Sportwitness

One thing seems pretty darn certain though. We'll be testing BVB's resolve hard this January.

Apparently Tuchel wants to keep him and has told the owners to do what it takes for his contract renewal.

Who knows how this will end up?

Regardless of anything, he's under contract until 2019 so BVB are good into next year before they have to think about selling if he's still resisting extending as he has to date.

It's heartening that his father, who's out in Dortmund with him, is a massive fan of Klopp. So you'd think that would naturally play a part when they both discuss his future. He's gotten a lot of playing time at Dortmund this year. But then he'd get a lot at Anfield with Klopp being the same as Tuchel and all about youth development. With both more than likely in the Champions League next year.

Only thing that is certain is Jürgen wants him bad and Boston see him nailing the US cash cow for them. (L'pool have already jumped ahead of everyone else over there in viewing figures this year. Pulisic would just corner the majority of US fans who are crazy nuts about him being the key, genuine World star player for the National side going forward.). So the money will be there to what ever degree Klopp deems reasonable.

L'pool will go back in hard January. Where that leads, if anywhere, who knows?

But it sure is exciting to even think about the prospect of Pulisic in red.

With what Jurgen has shown already with his early on signings, and with the performances he's getting out of the players he's had to inherit, I'd be throwing money at him if I owned the club.

Hopefully we will get past Newport (Will be tough) and see you boys in the FA Cup :P

Would be good to go back to Anfield and spend a weekend in Liverpool

It's the Sunday mate at half 1: Liverpool's FA Cup third round tie to be broadcast live on BT Sport - Liverpool Echo

Frigging TV companies looking for an upset. We'll never have a Sat'day 3PM third round tie again. Twats!

But at least it's not the Friday for you lads if you get through so there is that. Enjoy the weekend if you do do that. You'll love it as town will be mad Sat'day night. Personally hate it over a weekend as all the staggies and hen do's tip up from all over and there's a shed load of wool knobs in town. Thursday night always was and remains the best night to go out in L'pool. Back end of the week when your ready for it and it's still locals having a good time before the weekend invasion starts. But that's just from a local perspective. L'pool's that boss a City now you'll have a great time regardless if you get through and come up.

Book a room handy though as they tend to go quick.

Dortmund are more likely to lose him for free than sell him. He fits everything they like about him, and he's broken through. Money isnt an object for Dortmund, I'd be very suprised to see Pulisic at Liverpool next year, let alone Jan
 
Karius needs time, but it goes to show that people were lauding him far too quickly in ousting Mignolet

Read it. Fair enough, he wasn't too complimentary of Karius to say the least, but he just done what he's paid to do and called it as he sees it. And let's be fair, it wasn't as harsh as Carragher's input live after the game :D

I do think everyone's crashing down on the lad far too early, but he's just putting more uneeded pressure on himself coming out with stuff like that, imo. Just keep composed, keep your head down and keep working hard. But hey, people have said he's a bit of an egoist, maybe that's his character, and I'm a big believer in characters in this game... maybe and it can spur him on... time will tell.
