Of course the Tibetans are oppressed and kept under the Chinesse boot, but you have to consider that that oppression replaced another one that was a 100 times worse. We're talking about a dude who was literally a king, a pope and a God all in one person. Like, can you even imagine what that was like? He had more power over the population than any other leader in the entire XX century, people were basically no different than slaves and anyone who didn't keep in line took a boot to the face.

And yeah I probably shouldn't brought it up in a first place, but it just irks me to see some of the liberal media running the narrative to Free Tibet and Bring The Dalai Lama, with no research of what that actually entails.
 
Yeah, irrespective of anything happening this weekend or not, I'd take Willaims word on anything Bundesliga over Pearce. ****, I'd probably do that anyway on most things L'pool. Perce is scrapping even more for second hand info since the club have naturally shut everything down post the initial van Dijk fiasco. Which is quite funny sat watching. With next to nothing coming out of Liverpool, with even the reliable local corp being given little, both the mad speculation from journalists/ transfer rumour 'ITK, know F-alls', and the ridiculous WAY OTT meltdown from the reactionary bellends on social media as to how they'll deal with Phil making his position completely untenable, again, is a real exercise to behold.

FWIW, and this is part speculation, part good sources you trust, I think you're probably looking at:

Keita and maybe Lemar this window if they can get Monaco to drop significantly.

With the big summer move being Pulisic and a replacement for Can. (Seems to all intents and purposes Goretzka is going Munich so they appear to have dipped out there.). Not sure what Delaney thought he was breaking this week on Utd and Pulisic. Presumably the same as when he definitely had van Dijk going City the day before he officially went Liverpool, but everything for long enough has pointed to Liverpool feeling quietly confident they're well ahead of anyone there. They've got 2 hard years groundwork invested. Particularly with his father, who, like the player, has the utmost respect for Klopp. I'd be real surprised if and when he decides to move, which is coming, if anyone else swayed him. Like City and Pep, this has been a long courting process.

I might be totally wrong but I'd put money on that being our big summer move.

Take that for what it's worth. Just my views from what you can reasonably gather when you cut through the B/S.

Pulisic has been courted by United for 2 years. Not sure why you dismiss Delaney when he is very, very good (city did actually pull out because they see Stones as the lewd defender and Otamendi is playing so well they don't need a second defender, but a rotational one, hence Evans, who is still pony and I can't understand the intense interest in him). What also goes in United's favour is the ability to offer Dortmund a replacement for him by sending Miki back.
 
Leipzig letting Keita leave early tells you a lot more about the player than the club. They definitely don't need the money. They could definitely use the player with UCL qualification a question mark. Clearly they don't trust he's going to be a trooper for 5 more months.

Lost the tweet header from that, but there are certainly issues about his professionalism. He's essentially acted like Sanchez and VVD and he's playing well within himself.

Let's be fair to Sanchez though, he was working like a horse as long as he felt that Arsenal is actually a right place to be. He only became disillusioned and started phoning it in after Bayern have nuked them from orbit. I can think of few players who wouldn't give up on the club after that.
 
If that was to be Keita's last game, he signed off with a goal and another glowing demonstration of how he's the identikit Klopp midfielder.

Strong rumours today that Loris Karius will start against Manchester City at Anfield tomorrow.




IF that proves to be right, then surely you have to leave him in for a sustained run the rest the year to see what he really does or doesn't have and end the Mignolet bollocks finally surely?

A heavily deflected goal. A decent game with some reckless flashes. Scared Schalke going forwards at times, sloppy at others, especially defensively. So perhaps you're right there
 
Rumours abound of no van Dijk and Karius in nets.

Oh.

The.

DRAMA!

On the plus side, at least there's no John Moss Esq. to this time ruin what should be a super game of football.

Best home defence the league versus second best away attack. Top two attacking outfits the league period (and the 2 best footballing sides IMHO) going toe-to-toe. With neither willing to sacrifice those principles of the two managers who match-up against either best. 17 game unbeaten run up against an unbeaten domestic campaign. But with a woeful record Anfield ..... Pick your poison. It's fixing to be a great one.

Arsenal '03/'04 can thank us later.

Up the 'Pool. Mighty Reds!
 
I have been critical of Mane recently, but what a hit!
 
If De Gea was on both goals, this game would be 1-0 to Lpool. Some terrible goalkeeping.
