Just seen we have been linked with Thiago from Bayern. Not too sure on that one tbh. Unless Klopp wants a tactical style change, not sure why we would be interested in a 29 y/o, injury prone midfielder who relies of his technical ability rather than his physical.

Yanno mate, for me, the worst thing about the game today, VAR aside, is transfer windows and the accompanying rumour season that goes with them.

If there's one good thing to come out of the current situation we find ourselves in, it's the quick turnaround in seasons coming up so at least the rumour bollocks this window will be lessened.

FWIW, I don't think we'll make any signing this summer outside of future-proofing like last (maybe a CH for the short term to fill the Lovren void whilst the Dutch kids continue developing the back-ground), and we'll more look to next summer when the likes of Sancho are moving to add to any significant degree.

You got your summers mixed up with Sancho moving mate
 
Firmino can score 1 goal all season for all I care but his off the ball movement would make Cryuff smile. Comes on and the goal when you watch it back his simple movement preoccupies and drags both Villa CB's with him creating space for Mane.

Mad that people actually think he's a number 9.

Sounded a, uhmmmm, 'thriller' haha. But worth the dross for the end. Absolutely made up for Curtis to celebrate his extension with his first league goal.

NO signing can ever top having one of your own, off the same streets as you, come through to the first team. We could sign Mbappe and Messi this summer and the pride wouldn't match the past 24 hours with first the news Curtis has extended. Then capping it off with the winner today.

I don't think a lot of people fully appreciate just how vitally important it is for L'pool Football Club to always have at least one Scouser in the side whenever possible. It gives you that connection to those on the park and sends out the message to the World of the club's core identity. Representing everything we are all about. And, like Trent, this lads a bona fide Red and a ****** good one at that.

That's the frustrating b-=product of not watching the games. When something like that happens.

Talking of the burgeoning youth, still the jewel in an overflowing Kirkby crown, Rhian, bagged again for Swansea earlier. No need to rush thngs there at all and another top loan might well fit perfectly net year before he follows in the footsteps of Michael and Robbie in a red shirt.

Up the record chasing Reds!

I mean you can literally spell Scouser from an anagram of Curtis Jones name lol.

Yeah it is a real shame! At least its looking like Brighton are staying up another year, so hopefully there should be another chance to go again in the future.

Not sure if it will be next season as I currently type as I'm not expecting to be back in a ground until at least 2021. (All the talk of staggered return is absolutely non-sensical and unfeasible. It has to be all returning or nothing or they'll be absolute carnage. But that's a whole other discussion for another time.).

But when we are we'll box it.
 
If you didn't watch the game scouse try and catch a gif or clip of Virgil dealing with an awkward long punt. The way he bounced it of his backward over the Connelley fella and moved him out the way like furniture was oddly comedic yet just mesmerizing. He has no equals the Messi of CB's for me, every single part of his game is elite. Shoutout Salah who is CR7esque in his ruthless approach to getting goals people might call it selfish but I would want my forwards to be selfish (Unless they called Bobby).
 
I didn't and I will ta.

Another of City's records falls.

30 wins out of 34. This phenomenal gang of Reds are now the fastest team to reach 30 wins in a season in English football history.

Thank Christ VAR was invented for us hay?
 
Thought I'd watch extended highlights to see why everyone was raving about Keita once again (thought he was poor apart from one moment of quality against villa). I'm starting to worry that it might not be fitness levels or perhaps it is but his off the ball intensity and positioning in midfield compared with say Gini or Hendo is night and day. One of the reasons why Brighton got back into it was how lazy and how little he done to assert himself after such a great start from him. The weird part is that its something ive noticed for a while now, he will raise his intensity during say the start of the game look good for flashes and you think he has a good game but really and truly it just looks good for the highlight reels but over 90 min he was missing for a majority of it.

People expecting him to take either Hendo or Gini spot in the team are in for a rude awakening as he has a long while to go before he can match them positioning and intensity wise. Personally I feel its just his laid back nature that means he struggles to raise and keep the intensity for long periods. This season coming up will be the last for him to show Klopp he has what it takes because so far it aint been good.
