Meh. That Arsenal game was never a 4-3 game and but for more luck, composure and better officiating Tottenham are dead and buried before they equalise. Point being in all likelihood they'll be very few teams go to North London, preform as well as that, and be genuinely disappointed to not have 6 out of 6 from those trips.

It's been getting better game on game this season and L'pool's displays have been as good as anything the league. When they turn it on in 15/20 minutes spells nobody can cope with that. The sheer number of bodies just can't be picked up. Only Burnley that's skewing the start and 9 times out of 10 you at the least get a point when you dominate to such an extent. Just lacked the decision making the final third.

See yers on Friday. Conte and his ultra defensive want is exactly one of those games. Smiles.

Still buzzing off what is the single biggest stand in Europe.

Seriously, anyone going to Anfield, take your time to walk all around. The transformation outside is as spectacular as the structure itself. The space that's opened up and the classy way it's been done compared to how it was is mind blowing. The respectful way they've made a great reflective area for the memorial, the trees and greenery, sorting out the entrance the park, the space that's opened up the back of Anny Road ..... Really can't commend the club enough for what they've done and the construction guys for working round the clock to transform it all in 4 short months.

If that's any indication, when the next phases are implemented the whole local area, one of the most deprived and under developed the City, will get the massive boost its needed for years.

Never realised there's a hotel going up either until yesterday which should swell L'pool's coffers even further.

Funny how reconstruction like that can make everything feel like it's suddenly a major 21st century club in a stadium to match.

I am far from biased when it comes to accessing Liverpool players, their attack is jaw-dropping this season at times, I even defend Jordan Henderson against some Liverpool fans, but I'm sorry, I won't change my mind on this one. Lucas Leiva is not a good player, bang average to be frank, and if a report I read during the summer is correct, that he's really on 80 grand a week (more than starters such as Coutinho, Lovren, Lallana, Clyne, Wijnaldum etc) then he's bound to be laughing all the way the bank every week in recent years. Your club needs to move on average deadwood like him, that's just my opinion.

The youngster would be 3rd/ 4th choice. And currently injured.

having Lucas isn't a good thing. But it also doesn't matter as he's so far down. His experience doesn't make up for the fact that he's actually woefully average now and shouldn't really playing. But as long as he's a fifth choice its not an issue

If the issue with Sakho hadn't come to a head then he quite possibly wouldn't be here now. But I wouldn't say he's dropped off to that significant a degree. He could still play regularly at the right club and be a decent asset. Thought he done well yesterday bar his moment of madness. And he's a real good pro to have around. Even now there's no moaning about what his role now is.

Just funny that people picked out a 5th choice player in a position who's only gonna' play in an emergency the league. (Lovren doesn't get the shiner Friday hes probably not even on the bench yesterday. Probably wouldn't of started if Klavan hadn't been carrying a knock.).

People chose the strangest things to try make something out of. No real issue at all with a 5th choice cover guy as you keep mentioning.

Should clarify, when I say playing I mean at Liverpool at CB.

Indeed. I think Liverpool will win the game next week tbh but silly points dropped against smaller teams will cost you this season.

Was having a similar conversation last night. Swansea and Hull, which come in between Chelsea and Utd, are far more interesting to how the side is evolving. Swansea we have a terrible record at since they've moved grounds. Hull will just come and sit with 10 in their own area you'd imagine. Should be 6 out of 6 but there's the concern down to repeated L'pool failures against those type of sides the last quarter of a Century.

Mad when you're more concerned with Swansea and Hull than the Chelsea and Utd games that bookend them.

Absolutely. Ta.

BTW, I watched Dahoud the first time for the German U-21's the other teatime. (Don't ask.). Very impressed at his potential. Defo need to catch a few Gladbach games this year.

Why the witch hunt? Lucas has been one of Liverpools most reliable players for the past 9 years. He's very good on the ball and reads the game well. If he doesn't make the mistake, he'd be praised by his performance in defence. Let's give credit to Liverpool for dismantling last seasons champions.

Leicester have struggled without Kante. Their replacement for him (Mendy) is average. He isn't good enough. They could have gotten a better replacement for half the price. They made a big mistake.

If you think this is s witch hunt you might want to read my posts again from the start. Because you have missed the point by a country mile

I was talking to a few Leicester fans the pub yesterday afternoon and they all said they'd much rather of lost Vardy or Mahrez (not that they wanted to lose either like), than Kante.

He was their heartbeat where everything started last season and they're currently missing his presence there massively.

They should have replaced him with Idrissa Gueye imo. He was one of Villa's 2 decent central midfielders and had a superb season. He was up there with Kanté in terms of interceptions and looked like he had something about him. Everton snagged him for just 7 Million.

Good shout. For all the mocking to be done of Everton (and they just keep making it SO easy for yer. Honestly think they've got a complete fraud of an owner who won't invest and just flip the club in a few years for a nice profit); Guaye has by all accounts been outstanding.

He's the one player Blues seem to be really raving about thus far.

Bolasie was vastly overpriced though. A headless chicken. Excellent dribbling but no end product. They may still had issues in the middle of the park. Barry is losing their legs and McCarthy's defensive output isn't much better as well as lacking Berry's passing ability. Gueye should solve that.

They got Williams who's good but error prone. They need another good central defender and a goalkeeping upgrade.

Barkley still dribbles into dead ends, makes few recoveries and makes terrible decisions. Showed some signs of output last season. Deulofeu is their most productive player by a mile and I don't see the point of Bolasie.

Thank you. Utd's a great club too. Goes without saying. Said often on here I honestly don't hate Utd. I seriously dislike them as much as the next man. But I don't hate them. (Horrible emotion but Chelsea hold that above anyone else.). The Ferguson era aside, both clubs have ironically always got on real well over the years and are far more alike than many would like to admit. I actually think it's real healthy for both England's big two to be prominent at the top of the game and push each other.



Most Utd 'fans' on the other hand ..... But there's no need to get into that.

They bought Bolasie to 'add goals.' The same Yanick Bolasie who's scored a whopping TEN goals in nearly a hundred games the last 4 years. Williams I like but £12 million for a player L'pool passed on 4 years ago when he was in his prime? They started the window by only buying the woeful Stekelenburg (Who is. Regardless of his good start the year), Fulham's reserve 'keeper who is now their first choice after they passed on Hart who I know was offered to both Merseyside clubs. And then there was no sniff of a signing until they'd sold Stones and got money in. (Telling yer', Moshiri is a complete fraud.). The Sissoko episode to round out the window was just the funniest transfer window thing in ages. To then have Moshiri come out with even more base hilarity that 'they didn't really want Sissoko and want to build and be loyal to their own like McCarthy. We're a 'family' at Everton yer know!' ..... Who they tried their damndest to offload most all the window was just priceless.

Which is all very strange when they're now the self proclaimed Merseyside Millionaires. 'We're f-ing rich!' ..... 'Uhmm, nah. You're not. Yer's still the same bunch of tramps yers always been. Kenwright was rich but that didn't matter either as he wouldn't spend a penny. Bellends.'

I kind of like Barkley but most every blue I know ironically doesn't. He get's some real criticism pretty much for what you said.

They have a top manager now so there is that but the clubs a continued shambles. Annoyingly, it looks like the council are willing to buy them the land and half fund a new ground on two sites going cheap. Which is a complete joke in itself given L'pool got absolutely zero financial help publicly. But then Joe Anderson, the mayor and Council leader, is a massive blue. Funny that.

I honestly think the Iranian is only here to make a quick buck, take advantage of the new TV money and possible funded new ground, flip the club for a **** of a lot more than he bought it for and move on in a few years.

But enough of the blue *****. It's wearying haha.
